The Art of Bespoke Style

LUXURY CUSTOM WARDROBE STYLIST

Elevate your presence with custom wardrobing designed for your life. From my studio in Prior Lake, serving the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro, I build complete wardrobes for men and women in high-end custom and made-to-order clothing, much of it in clean, non-toxic fabrics. As an Arava stylist, J.Hilburn Master Stylist, Midnight Oil specialist, and Neems denim affiliate, I bring four premier collections together in one place, backed by 44 years of master tailoring. From my studio to your boardroom, your wardrobe will reflect exactly who you are.

Testimonials

What My Clients Say

I don't just find clothes that fit; I curate looks that command. My clients come for the 44 years of expertise, but they stay for the transformation. Their success is my signature.

I have been a J.Hilburn client since 2016, and have really enjoyed the quality and choices they give you every season. Denise McBride has been my stylist for the past three years, and has been the most professional and top notch stylist I have worked with. She makes the process seamless and truly a first class experience! If your a busy professional and value quality, expertise, and a perfect fit look no further than Denise and J.Hilburn. It’s one of the best investments I have made in my professional career.

I’m a tall, somewhat slender guy with longer arms, and I travel frequently for work—often going straight from the airport into meetings. Finding clothing that fits well, looks sharp, and stays comfortable throughout the day used to be a constant challenge. Fast forward two years, and I’m fully converted—6 shirts and 4 sport coats later. Denise has been exceptional to work with. Every piece is tailored exactly to my preferences, and the consistency in fit and quality is outstanding. What really sets her apart is the level of care and attention she brings to her clients. She takes genuine pride in her work, and it shows in every detail. If you’re considering custom clothing and want something that truly fits and elevates your look, Denise is absolutely the person to trust.

Denise is amazing at her job! If you were thinking about getting a custom suit, look no further. I was really nervous at first because I don’t always have the best style but Denise helped me through all the steps from what patterns she had and what colors were in style, all the way down to the buttons. She made it super easy and quick. Price was also very reasonable for the materials and time that went into this. I’ll for sure be going back next year for another suit!
