okay, a little bit of selling...

I’ve decided to become a stylist for J. Hilburn. 

I’ve met with Joy, been trained, and am totally sold on the exceptional quality of their clothes, as well as the impeccable service they provide.  Their wools are all from Italy and their cotton is all Egyptian. They use the exact same fabrics as Brioni and Zegna, and Loro Piana is even one of the mills they buy from.

J. Hilburn’s prices are substantially less than you’d find through a store — about the same as Brooks Brothers or J. Crew, but theirs are off the rack, and limited in the range of fabrics and options.

Gorgeous custom shirts start at $99 and are delivered within two weeks; suits start at $745 and take four weeks.  Fit is guaranteed.

And their ready to wear cashmere sweaters and outerwear are beautiful.

I even have my own webpage, http://lynfamilant.jhilburn.com

J. Hilburn was awarded “Best Dress Shirt” by Esquire Magazine, and has been touted in the press for its quality.  Here’s just one of the many articles written about them: http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/23/three-years-after-launch-mens-custom-clothier-j-hilburn-discovers-e-commerce/

But don’t believe me; see for yourself (OMG; I sound like your proverbial salesperson).

From Thursday, October 23 through Saturday, November 15, J. Hilburn will have a pop-up store at:

The Refinery Hotel

63 W. 38th Street (between 5th and 6th)

space is called The Hatbox

and is street level adjacent to the hotel lobby

Monday-Friday 9am-7pm

Saturday-Sunday, 11am to 6pm

If you go and buy anything, please give my name as your stylist.  But even better, let me meet you there (or at your home) so I can measure you (or your favorite male). The holidays are not that far away, and gift certificates are also available.

I promise you won’t be disappointed. 

And I also promise not to use this blog as a way to promote a new business.... just maybe every now and then.

So let me know if you’d like to schedule a time to meet (lynj@me.com). Fingers crossed that I’ll hear from you. 

(And if you could share this link with your friends and family I would greatly appreciate it).

Also, as added incentive, the first person who brings me five different guys who will buy at least one shirt will get their custom shirt free!
