Just went to visit some of our great shops on King Street today. I was amazed at the number of off-the-rack shirts that had a price of at least $125 (and more) that were fabricated with he exact same fabrics that J.Hilburn uses for CUSTOM shirts! You can go to J.Crew and purchase a shirt with fabric from Thomas Mason for $125...off the rack, mind you...OR you can call me (or another J.Hilburn partner) for a custom shirt with fabric from the Thomas Mason mill for $99. Yes, that is right...$99! CUSTOM!
How do we do it??? We are compressing the supply chain to make luxury goods more affordable for everyone. We are able to offer better quality for a better price - you get a better fit and ultimately a better product.

Not exactly conservative...
Today was a great day! Pro bowler, Courtney Miller has chosen to use J.Hilburn Custom Clothiers as his exclusive provider of shirts that he will wear in tournament play and on tour.
We met and discussed his needs in terms of style, the drape of the fabric, ease of wear and of course, the cool factor. Courtney's first shirt will be an amazing lavender and blue sky windowpane, made with short sleeves and a vented bottom. No pockets or plackets for this man - he is fit as a fiddle and his shirt will not be too loose or too tight while tossing back pins.
We choose six other fabrics and will have each shirt sent to our embroidery shop to have his name tastefully embroidered on the back. Who knew that pro bowlers got to put their names on all of their tournament shirts?
Another client, a local chef and restaurant owner has given me carte blanche to choose his new shirts. I can't reveal what I chose for him, as the first one is still in production. I will say it will be HOT~
And his friend, a nightclub owner will receive his first shirt this week. I am really looking forward to this delivery, as this shirt will be something else! We choose a very fashion-forward fabric and paired it with not only a contrasting fabric for the interior of the cuff and collar, but we also used a contrasting thread! It will truly be one of a kind.
So, this brings me back to the original point of custom shirts - they DO NOT have to be conservative! Of course, I have many clients who only purchase solid blue or white or mild stripes for their daily office and church wardrobe needs, but they can certainly shake things up with patterns, bold stripes, textured solids, contrasting fabrics and stitching. It is wonderful to create shirts that fit the man in both size and style. By utilizing the fabrics and options that are available through J. Hilburn, men are now able to define their style in the office, while playing sports, out on the town and in the backyard.

The word "haberdashery" would appear to suggest speediness, yet many of the leading retailers of customwear take months and months to deliver to the client.
J. Hilburn, the newest bespoke clothier in Charleston happily breaks the trend of long wait times for custom clothing by delivering shirts in three weeks. The Italian spun 100% Egyptian cotton is magically transformed by master tailors in Hong Kong into the finest custom made shirts that have clients coming back for more.
If that doesn't make you want one immediately, then the prices will. With four price points ($79, $99, $129 and $149) you will not find a better deal anywhere. Even better, once your measurements are obtained by Style Advisor, you can make a wish list and place an order from your Style Advisor at any time.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, call Katherine Mengedoht at 843-478-0495
