A few days ago, I began wondering why Navy Blue continues to be a preferred color not only with our clients but also within the menswear market. Particularly when compared to black, it outperforms across our many categories from pants to suits and outerwear. Personally, too I find it a constant go-to for every occasion […]
Outerwear Choices
On a recent trip to London and the UK, I was able to fully appreciate the need for having the right outerwear on hand as temps changed from one day to the next with one beautiful brisk morning walking across Hyde Park with temps at around 5° C. I had a Field Jacket in Reda […]
Refined Casual
The new fall collection seems to capture the season so perfectly through coloration, textures, patterns and, indeed, the fabric qualities themselves selected from our mill partners from around the world. Our tailoring and suits, in particular, have stood the test of time and most clients, established or new, find that a custom-made suit is […]
Fall Sweeps In

Over the last holiday weekend, I traveled to my home here in Connecticut, the place that […]

The Custom Convert
I have been thinking a lot about our younger, newer clients and how they would wear a suit. This week, we launch or relaunch some of our best-selling Studio and first-tier suiting to showcase our incredible value and deliver a styling exercise for our first-time clients buying their first custom-made suit with J.Hilburn. Our first-tier […]
The Return of Classic Shirting
We have been working hard to introduce some classic style dress shirting that clients have been requesting of late. This is the first phase of updating our shirting assortment and is, for now, only available digitally (no swatches). These new 12 cloths are mostly in our Non-Iron quality, one from Thomas Mason and two from […]
Joining J.Hilburn
With this week starting with celebrating Earth Day, Mother’s Day around the corner, prom conversations at the office, and graduation next, I am reminded that at J.Hilburn we are proudly well beyond just the beautiful clothes we make for our clients and all the occasions they have to show up the very best version of […]
