Alex Mill Introduce

Alex Mill is a clothing store located at 77 Mercer St, New York, NY 10012, USA. As part of the 'Clothes Store Near Me' category, it offers a physical location to experience their collection of clothing known for its "lovely vintage easy and classic designs." The brand emphasizes the use of cotton fabrics that have an "amazing hand feel," suggesting a focus on comfortable and quality materials.

While one customer appreciated the quality, cut, and fit of the Chiltern Jacket, they raised concerns about the zipper potentially scratching delicate knitwear due to the absence of fabric beneath it, a detail often found in older, higher-priced garments. This customer also noted a discrepancy between the advertised 100% cotton lining on the Alex Mill website and the actual lining, which contains a portion of 100% nylon. While acknowledging that nylon can help the lining glide over other clothing, they pointed out the misleading material description and the jacket's origin as "made in China" with a price of NZD$835 (approximately equivalent to USD$500-550 as of April 2025).

Regarding the online shopping experience, the shipping was described as fast, utilizing DHL Express. However, the packaging was compared to that of Uniqlo, with the Chiltern Jacket being sandwiched between tissue paper, placed in a plastic bag, folded in a paper bag, and lacking zipper protection, unlike a similar wool coat from COS which was delivered in a cardboard box with paper-wrapped zipper pulls.

Another customer found the designs to be "not pretentious" but felt the pricing, with most items around $200, to be "overpriced" considering the "made in China" origin and the absence of Japanese milled fabric and manufacturing, despite the presence of "lots of Japanese influence" in the designs.

Alex Mill can be contacted via phone at (646) 707-0612 or mobile phone at +1 646-707-0612. The provided information does not include details about the store's specific environment or any current promotional offers. However, the brand is characterized by its classic and easy aesthetic, with a focus on cotton fabrics. For local users in Taiwan interested in this style, exploring brands with similar design philosophies and considering factors like material quality and country of origin might be relevant. The reviews suggest a need for transparency regarding product materials and manufacturing origin, especially at the given price point.

So I previously posted a four out of five star review on the Alex Mill website which the staff have chosen not to publish which is why I’ve taken off a star for lack of integrity. I’m also annoyed that I have to post my review again, but this is for the benefit of shoppers and customers, and I’ve included more information than in my first review that I missed the first time. I first heard of the Chiltern Jacket by Alex Mill from Katie Louise, a YouTuber who raved about the quality. I am pleased with the quality, cut and fit. For future iterations, I would note that adding fabric beneath each side of the zipper would prevent the zipper from scratching your sweaters and pilling them. As I hand knit my own sweaters, this is a detail I always look for - coats from decades ago had this detail as standard practice, it’s only in recent times that manufacturers have omitted the fabric beneath the zippers for cost cutting measures. At this price point, I would expect this detail. Please also note that the lining of the Chiltern jacket isn’t 100% cotton as advertised the Alex Mill website, there is a portion that is 100% nylon. This isn’t a minus, nylon helps the lining glide across your sweaters or flannel shirts when you put the coat on. It is however, misleading to not include it in the materials list on the website. Item is made in China and cost NZD$835 as of January 2025. I purchased this jacket online and it shipped with DHL express. Shipping time was fast. I was fine with the way it was packaged: sandwiched between tissue paper, placed flat in a plastic bag and folded and placed in a paper bag. The price point is similar to COS which reminds me of the differences between the 2 brands. I bought a 100% wool coat from COS and it was zippered as well. It came delivered in a cardboard box (no plastic) and the zipper pull was wrapped in paper for protection. The Chiltern Jacket was packaged like a Uniqlo product with no protection for the zipper.

Not pretentious, but overpriced. Lovely vintage easy and classic designs, cotton that has amazing hand feel. But everything is pretty much $200. At that price it shouldn’t be made in China, lots of Japanese influence minus Japanese milled fabric and manufacturing. Bummer

Blown away by the brand! 💙 Seeing the clothes in person exceeded my expectations + notions. The quality is exceptional. On the surface the styles look simple but the choice of fabrics, the construction details, the finishes are impeccably + thoughtfully designed. It takes true skills, talent and passion to make clothes look so timeless, effortless and chic. The colorways - unexpected and fresh. Love the selection of accessories and jewelry. #mynewfavoritebrand 🙌🏻
