When anyone mentions the word wedding the first thought always drifts towards wedding dresses. From ballgown to mermaid cut woman are spoiled with so many choices that entire television shows have been devoted to the process of choosing THE dress. Unfortunately for the guys, their wardrobe selection is usually an afterthought with the only choice sometimes being the color of their tie. Stylish men of Milwaukee (or the stylish women who dress them) should listen up! J. Hilburn representative Therese Nelson has a wide variety of high quality options that will make you look and feel just as special as the wedding day itself.
Founded in 2007, J. Hilburn strives to deliver custom, quality menswear at a price that is the same as or less than, off-the-rack products. Therese has been a Milwaukee area rep for the past two years and has been working hard to bring brand awareness to the Milwaukee area. She hopes that by offering this customized service, it will allow men who may not feel comfortable choosing items from a department store to have a unique and personalized shopping experience in the privacy of their own home or office and leave knowing that they have the correct fit and an item that is of high quality and style.
Recently, more and more young professionals are seeing the value in buying a high quality suit as opposed to renting a tux for a single use. Even if you don’t need to wear a suit to work everyday, there is a certain value in having tailored suit for interviews and special occasions. And comparing this to a wedding dress which is only going to be worn once, owning a custom suit is a great investment.
If you can’t quite work an entire suit into your budget, J. Hilburn also offers a huge selection of items that can be purchased as extra special touches to a suit purchased or rented elsewhere. Custom dress shirts are available in three varieties and are customized for you to include options such as 14 different collar styles, 10 types of cuffs and 5 different pockets. Custom belts, cufflinks, socks, scarves and ties can also all be purchased for yourself or as a fantastic gift for the groomsmen and dads. When I lunched with Therese she brought with her a crocodile belt that with its shiny scales would make a great signature piece.
Another great benefit of working with a J. Hilburn style adviser such as Therese is that she will come to your home or office at your convenience to listen to your needs, help you determine what style fits your lifestyle and budget and then take your measurements to insure the best fit. She will even bring with fabric samples for you to look and feel so that you don’t feel as though you are making blind selections and also helps when trying to match colors with previously selected bridesmaid dresses or linens. Therese said that while she’s happy to make house calls as well as organize small get togethers for groomsmen to pick out shirts or ties together. Sometimes there is confidence in numbers!
Just like the ladies, men deserve to feel like they are wearing something extra special on their wedding day. Whether you customize an entire suit or simply need a pair of cufflinks to pull the look together, Therese can make sure you are looking and feeling your very best.
