In the spirit of full disclosure: I was offered a discount on my first purchase from Mill No.8. I ordered a custom pair of stone coloured chinos and a white OCBD from Mill No.8

It was a pleasure to deal with Mill no.8. Their presence seems to be quite new in the fashion industry. The website still had a few kinks and I wrote them a brief list of bugs I encountered, which to my knowledge were addressed in the meantime.

It was a pleasure to deal with them, they manufacture in India and offer free worldwide shipping. From order to delivery it took roughly three weeks and I didn't have to pay EU import duties. As usually with online tailors, afte r having put in my measurements I was briefly approached again by email whether my arms were really that long and if I could confirm the 29" long sleeves from acromion to cuff.

The items were delivered in a mint green gift box and were properly packaged. The trousers needed a small adjustment in the waist circumference, the shirt fit spot on the first try.

The shirt buttons are of nice mother of pearl the button down collar has a decent roll. Trousers feature Corozo buttons. Overall the fabrics feel high quality and are easy to iron. I've washed both items twice so far and there was little to no shrinkage so I assume they were properly sanforized.
