Being ready for the new season is always exciting, with all the moving parts coming into place and the preparation of months of work in HQ finally coming to fruition. It’s not always smooth, and coordinating all this effort can, at times, be overwhelming, but for our stylists, it is a time to start the […]

Highlighting Stylist Skills
It’s kind of funny how social media is not only listening but seemingly reading our thoughts. I had not but just finished a Tailored Talks session with some guidance to using our options to help our stylists show off their skills to clients, that I saw this on LinkedIn from Katie Cantrill, which I thought […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The New Collection is Coming
As a Creative Director, I have learned to edit and filter trends and some of the noise around our industry. I let the brand speak to me about what is right and wrong, occasionally pushing a little on a new item or trend and ultimately building collections that get in front of our client’s needs […]
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, […]
