Looking for the perfect Valentine for your favorite male? Something sophisticated, smooth, and sexy, perhaps? Introducing the latest addition to Mimi’s Closet; the J. Hilburn line of custom men’s clothing: shirts, suits, trousers, sportcoats, as well as casual ready to wear & accessories. Proprietor Marjorie Adams is now a certified style adviser, trained in measuring your man for the perfect fit, be it custom tailored shirt, sportcoat or suit.
The Italian fabric shirts come in 4 body styles, your choice of solid, stripes, checks, Liberty of London prints, 14 collar options… would you like a single button cuff, or will you be using cufflinks? And perhaps personalize with a contrasting color on the collar or cuff, maybe both? Each shirt is monogrammed inside the collar, regardless of whether you opt for it on the cuff (or pocket). As Adams says, it’s, “an Experience.” Custom shirt prices range from $89 to $159, and are ready within three to four weeks. The suits, which are made in Portugal, are completed in four to six weeks.
J. Hilburn, whose motto is “Luxury for Less,” is based in Dallas, but has no retail store . It cuts out the cost of the middle man, instead recruiting style advisers who measure and offer style advice.
The company carries a full line of ready to wear clothing as well, including : polo shirts ($69), luxury pima tees ($39), neckwear ($89), and cufflinks ($99 and up), and belts (custom $125, ready to wear $75). These items are generally ready in one week. Best to stop in at Mimi’s Closet in either location to order and for more information, or click here to view the whole line.
This Spy kept caressing the fabric swatches and wondering when they are going to carry custom women’s shirts.
