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
September has begun, and this month, fall sweeps down upon us unavoidably, with reminders at our local shopping markets and coffee shops, with pots of Mums, pumpkin spice, and Halloween décor eagerly displayed in the premium pick-up spots. 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 […]
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 […]
