Julie Mallatt is a native midwesterner, who now resides in Boston, MA, where she is an Executive Partner with J.Hilburn, a men's custom clothing brand. As a men's stylist for the last 12+ years, she eliminates the traditional retail store by working directly with her clients via appointment (virtual or in-person). She will measure and assist with curating a wardrobe from work-week to weekend that is uniquely the client's own. J.Hilburn also prides itself on a sustainable model of fashion by making one custom piece at a time versus producing multiple garments in a variety of sizes. 

Host Note: Julie and I had a further conversation regarding gender identity that was not captured in this episode. We wanted to make a point of clarification for our listeners. J.Hilburn will make clothing for anyone within the parameters of the brand, and it is worth noting that their patterns are built from a male body. For example, there are no darts at the chest area on a shirt, as opposed to what you might find on a women's shirt. Clients may need tailoring and can always return the garment if not satisfied. 

Julie can be found on the web. For those who might be interested in becoming a stylist with J.Hilburn, please contact Julie for more information. Gift certificates are also available for purchase.
