  • 2026 Spring Collection Training

    Introducing our newest collection for spring 2026

    We’re thrilled to introduce J.Hilburn’s 2026 Spring Collection, officially available to sell on Tuesday, March 3rd. Inspired by the golden age of Hollywood, this collection blends timeless sophistication with a relaxed modern sensibility. Think soft tailoring, art deco influences, elevated knits, refined formalwear, and a palette inspired by Pacific sunshine and Beverly Hills gardens. 

    This collection is built for effortless confidence, and it’s the perfect moment to re-engage Clients and drive Spring appointment momentum. 

    For Suiting swatches, there are 39 eye-catching prints and solids from our mill partners, including Baird McNutt, Marzotto, Huddersfield, Reda Flexo, Vitale Barberis Canonico, Zegna, and Loro Piana Cloth. Please note that this count excludes the Early Spring swatches that were sent in mid-February.

    In our Suiting fabrics, the High Cut Trouser and Tailored Short are two new silhouettes available for the Spring season, but these styles will also be open in select existing fabrics.

    We brought in 33 Shirting swatches, including selections from Carlo Bassetti, Somelos, and Thomas Mason.

    Additionally, the Chest Panel Contrast is an exciting new Shirting styling option Simon and his team curated for seasons to come. There will be limitations for this styling option, and the team will work to provide documentation on what the select options will be.

    For swatches that are shared between Shirts and Knits, 17 are featured in the Spring assortment. We are offering several solids as well as micro designs from Albini in our Flex Texture quality. There is also an array of petite prints in the beloved Performante and Evian Stampato qualities.

    For Knits, we are introducing a collection of Colorblock Polos in select colorways from our best-selling Supima Interlock Jersey and Performante qualities.

    There are 15 swatches available for Pants in various qualities, including the new Color Wash Twill, Italian Eco-Performance, Americano, Brushed Twill, Textured 4-Way Stretch, and Tech Stretch Twill. In addition to these selections, a new Relaxed Short silhouette is launching with Spring.

    Our Custom Denim is also available in a new High Cut Denim silhouette.

    Winter Event Details:

    THE WINTER EVENT — PRODUCTS

    • The products included in the Winter Event will be from the Spring/Summer 2025 Collection and older. We may offer a limited number of Essential fabrics. 
    • All Winter Event products will be available on your PURL under the “Sale” category.

    THE WINTER EVENT — FABRIC SWATCHES

    • A list of all fabric swatches and Ready-to-Wear items included in the Winter Event is available below.  
    • You will have fabric swatches for some of the Winter Event products, but most likely not for all, since this event includes swatches from previous seasons. 

    THE WINTER EVENT — QUANTITIES AND TIMING

    • Winter Event products are limited in quantity. Start selling as soon as possible once the Event launches for the best selection. Enter your orders when you take them. Do not wait, as supply may run out.  
    • Do not build orders for the Winter Event in advance of December 26, 2025. Event prices will only be reflected on orders built after the official start date.

    THE WINTER EVENT — REACHING CLIENTS

    • You should reach out to your Clients during the Private Event period to make them aware of the Winter Event.  J.Hilburn will not promote the Winter Event to Clients via marketing emails or social media during the Private Event period.
    • Starting Saturday, January 3, the Company will email all subscribed Clients to announce the Winter Event. 



    BEST PRACTICES & TIPS  

    • Double-check your work. Measure twice!
    • Verify fit and measurements for Clients who have not ordered in over 1 year.  
    • You want to set the expectation with your Clients that some fabrics may sell out.  
    • Eliminate old fit profiles to minimize any mistakes. 
    • Suggest that Clients send their orders to you, versus checking out themselves, so you can review their order for accuracy. 
    • Use the favorites section of .com to work with your Clients virtually.
    • Identify your Clients who like to take advantage of our “sale” events and send them a text to notify them that the Private Event has begun. 

    STRATEGIES 

    • Have an upsell item/strategy.  This is a great time to use add-on items: belts, socks, scarves, etc., to build your order value.   
    • Including full-priced items in Client orders will increase your earnings.  Use a blended approach by adding full-price items to the style board you suggest for them.  These blended style boards encourage them to “buy the look.”  
    • Take this opportunity to show them how to extend their wardrobe. Example:  2 pants, 2 shirts & 2 knits will mix & match to create X number of looks. 
    • If you are a New Stylist, build a list of 25 potential Clients to reach out to. Think of guys who might be more price-sensitive.
    • On the day the Private Event launches, TEXT your Clients first thing in the morning: “Hi XXX, my Private Winter Event launches today.  As one of my VIP Clients, I wanted to offer it to you first.  It runs from December 26–January 2 and is up to 40% off.  Do you want in??  Let me know ASAP so I can get you the details.” 
    • A few days later, send another text to those who haven’t responded:  “Hi XXX, I didn’t want you to miss out.  The Winter Event goes public on Saturday.  Do you want in before the word is out to everyone?  I can help you via text, email, Zoom, or style boards.” 
    • Make it easy for your Clients. If you have time, put some things in your Clients’ favorites (both sale and full-price) and send them a link to their closet.

    Get the List of SKUs for the Winter Event:

    Please make sure to continue checking the SKU list daily for the most up-to-date fabric availability. As the Winter Event progresses, certain fabrics will be removed from the list as they sell out. Checking the list daily ensures you always have the most current selection to present to your Clients. We also recommend that you access the Event SKUs through this link only and avoid saving a separate copy of the list. This will ensure you’re always viewing the most accurate and updated version of the list.

    Winter Event Styleboards

    Italian Cashmere Sweaters

    About Cariaggi Italian Cashmere Sweaters:

    Italian Luxury, Redefined. Spun by Cariaggi in the heart of Italy’s Marche region, this cashmere represents the pinnacle of softness, quality, and craftsmanship — the kind of refinement you can feel the moment you put it on.

    Uncompromising Quality – Only the finest long-staple fibers from Mongolian cashmere goats are selected, then meticulously spun and finished by Cariaggi’s renowned Italian mill — ensuring an exceptionally smooth hand, minimal pilling, and lasting shape.

    Effortless Sophistication – Designed for modern versatility, our cashmere sweaters layer effortlessly under tailored jackets or elevate a weekend look with quiet confidence.

    Refined Comfort – Luxuriously lightweight yet incredibly warm, this knit feels indulgent without feeling heavy — a timeless staple made for year-round wear.

     

    Talking Points: 

    “This is truly Italian luxury.” Our cashmere is produced in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, between Milan and Verona — an area known for the world’s best textile craftsmanship.

    “Cariaggi is one of the top mills in the world.” They’ve been perfecting luxury yarns for over 60 years and are trusted by some of the most exclusive designer brands.

    “You can feel the difference immediately.” The softness, drape, and lightness are unmatched — it feels like wearing a cloud of cashmere.

    “It’s an investment piece made to last.” The yarns are engineered for low pilling and long-lasting shape, so it keeps looking refined year after year.

    “Sustainably and thoughtfully made.” Cariaggi is family-run and focused on eco-conscious production, combining traditional Italian craftsmanship with innovative technology.

    “Every color is intentionally developed.” They’re known for rich, distinctive color palettes that balance timeless elegance with a modern point of view.

    “The cable knit full zip is a standout.” It’s a 5-gauge knit using 10-ply cashmere — you can feel the luxury in the weight and texture. It’s truly a statement piece that still feels effortless.

    “Caring for it makes all the difference.” Because of the delicate natural fibers, we recommend removing your cashmere sweater when driving — seatbelts can cause friction and wear over time.

    “This is Italian luxury at its best.” Our cashmere is spun by Cariaggi, one of Italy’s most respected mills — the same mill trusted by top luxury brands. You’ll immediately feel the difference in softness and quality.

    “You’re getting true investment quality.” Cariaggi uses only the finest long-staple Mongolian fibers, which means the sweater keeps its shape, resists pilling, and looks new season after season.

    “It’s incredibly lightweight but warm.” This isn’t heavy or bulky cashmere — it’s refined and breathable, perfect to wear on its own or layered under a sportcoat for a polished, modern look.

    “It’s made to elevate your wardrobe.” This is the kind of knit that instantly refines a casual outfit or softens a tailored look. It’s versatile enough for work, travel, and weekends.

    “You’ll feel the craftsmanship.” Every detail — from the Italian yarn to the fully fashioned construction — speaks to J.Hilburn’s commitment to quality and timeless style.

    “It’s a piece you’ll own for years.” Because of the superior fiber and spinning process, Cariaggi cashmere actually gets softer with wear. It’s a long-term wardrobe staple, not a one-season piece.
