Mill Lane Menswear (sample) has sold trousers, shirts and jackets from the same narrow shop since 2009, with a tailor working in the back room.
The shop opened with one wall of jeans and a sewing machine behind the counter. The wall grew to shirts and knitwear, the machine became a back room with two tailors, and the jeans are still folded in cubbies by waist and leg (sample).
What has not changed: you try things on, someone tells you honestly how they fit, and hems are free.
We buy a short list of things we would wear ourselves and stock them in a long run of sizes, including the shorts and longs most shops skip.
Five people who will tell you when the next size down looks better.
