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 […]
Blurring the Lines
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 […]
Kicking off Winter
Earlier this week we transmitted our kick-off meeting live from the Dallas Stylist Studio at Inwood Village. The team and I were able to show the updates to the studio, present the new winter swatches in detail, and get some selling tips on how to combine them back to fall pieces. From a product POV, we started […]
Exactly How You Like It
Our custom-made product is always unique. We build each piece individually to fit a body’s measurement with the added preference. These initial measurements are what we call core, and each new category profile are built from this initial measurement. A shirt profile for example uses upper body core measurements to base needed measurements specific to […]

Masterfully Made in Italy
This time of year, I find myself on the move more than usual, and I am really passionate about having the right bag for my everyday needs. Most men don’t think of a bag as a necessity as a part of their wardrobe, but we all have so much to carry around most of the […]
Travel Anxiety
I have a lot of empathy for those who have anxiety about flying; having suffered from it myself when I was young, I know it is not a fun way to travel for yourself or your travel companions. After years of not suffering, I am sad to report that my travel anxiety has come back, […]
Swing into Style
Golf has become a pretty stylish game, and I am reminded of the wool tartan pants, the heavy golf shoes, and argyle sweaters that my uncle used to wear back in the seventies – kind of a Bob Hope in technicolor. With a whole new generation of players in an era where performance fabrics are […]
It All Starts with Colors
I believe that how you look should make you feel good. As a Designer and Creative, my job is to always have you in mind and design collections that make you feel good by looking good. Yes, it is a little bit presumptuous of me, but if I didn’t believe that we can change people’s […]
