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 […]

The Wedding Invite Dilemma
I am often asked about wedding attire, which, for guys, can be a worrying task, taking them out of their comfort zone and comfortable clothes. Attending a wedding as a guest and your role depends on your relationship to the happy couple and usually your invite will be clear about which part of the day […]
To Wrinkle, or Not to Wrinkle?
There are generally two schools of thought when we speak of linen in menswear: to wrinkle or not to wrinkle? Some men hate that linen can be quite high maintenance, and others love the nonchalance of the rumpled look, and to be honest, quite impossible to deal with if you are from the “not the […]

For the Love of Tailoring
This week, I heard of the passing of Martin Greenfield, who, out of a workshop in Greenpoint across the east river of New York, worked as a tailor for the last 70 years. I credit Mr. Greenfield for establishing the look of American tailoring, and I was lucky enough to work with him on a […]

These new items are yet another reason to connect with your stylist for updates that can work for you and your summer wardrobe needs. Starting in suiting, we are highlighting a […]

Okay, so I admit I am not an avid consumer of sports. As a child, my school obligated me to play Soccer three times a week, under every season of British weather, and on certain winter days, it felt like torture, so you can’t really blame me for never liking the game. Luckily, I […]
Keeping Your Cool
Staying Cool in the Heat With temps here in the 80’s this week in the south, we got an early taste of the summer heat ahead. This preview of summer reminded me that most guys don’t enjoy the heat, especially if their work environment includes suiting. The truth is that most men “run hot” […]
To Linda, Katie, Debbie, Lisa, and Jessica
I am fresh from my return from Asia after a ten-day trip that included Vietnam and Hong Kong. During the trip, I met up with our 5 Growing Elite Stylists who had earned this trip and were treated to VIP treatment by our leadership team throughout their travels. I have to say that amongst the […]
A New Menswear Must-Have
Last week, I spent some time with our leadership team in Las Vegas. The trip had nothing to do with the Superbowl, Adele, or slot machines but was a combination of business meetings during the day and group dinners in the evening, so I had packed for casual and business casual moments. During the trip, […]
