I like it but I'm not huge on soft shoulders, pagodas ftw

They're not that soft. Definitely seeing some structure there.

I purchased the suit at Project No 8b. If you are interested, they have it in stock. Be aware the suit runs really slim. I am normally a 5 in SS, but took a 6 in the jacket and a 7(!) in the pants - the thighs and seat of the pants run really slim.

The jacket fit well in the shoulers, but I had the sleeves shortened (they had to detach the sleeves as there are working (hidden) button holes on the sleeves in order to shorten), chest taken in slightly and jacket hemmed to make a bit shorter. The pants i had the waist taken in, seat let out slightly (there is extra fabric in the pants to be let out - all those years of soccer!) and hemmed. If you buy the suit, i would size up, and you would need a really good tailor.

The fabric is quite nice and light - perfect for summer. It is actually too cold here in NYC for the suit today - had i known, i would have worn somthing with a heavier weight.

The shirt is a Gant, and is quite different from what I usually spring for, but change is good, right? It has an almost 50s sort of aesthetic. Hoping for slimness out of what doesn't seem a slim brand.

Proj. No. 8 doesn't seem to be answering their phones. .. do you know if they had a full run of sizes available?

Also, if you don't mind me asking, do you know what they were charging? Schneider outside of Europe seems to cost quite a bit more (which is why I guess Tres Bien is sold out)

The pants at Project No. 8 run $322 as opposed to TBS' $300.

Tres Bien also has that wonderful 20% discount for non-EU customers..

Ah yeah, you're right.

sick pick up, how much did you pay for these?
