    Our printed Spring 2025 Collection Lookbooks have arrived and pre-orders have shipped! If you missed the pre-order, you’re in luck! We have a limited quantity remaining that is available for order. The Spring Lookbooks are available in packs of five (5) for $30 ($6 per book).

     At J.Hilburn, we pride ourselves on delivering only the highest quality products to you and your Clients. Recently, our manufacturing partner, TAL, made the difficult but necessary, decision to discontinue working with the laundry house responsible for washing our Custom Denim fabrics. This decision was made because the laundry house did not meet the high standards of TAL and J.Hilburn. 

    As a result, we must immediately pause sales of our Custom Denim SKUs. This decision ensures we maintain our commitment to offering your Clients only high-quality products that accurately reflect J.Hilburn’s brand promise.

    Impacted SKUs:

    We want to assure you that we are working closely with TAL to identify a new, reliable laundry house so that we can bring Custom Denim back to you with the quality you expect and deserve.

    In the meantime, we recommend our Cozy Denim as a great alternative to offer your Clients. The Cozy Denim has a similar hand feel to our original denim, but since it is not a true denim fabric, there is no abrasion at the seams. It is a yard-dyed fabric, giving it a “Denim Look,” however, when washed there will be no fading, so the color lasts longer. And, since our cozy denim is part of our 5 pockets category, you are able to offer your Clients the hidden 6th pocket option and the new hidden zipper pockets that we offer on our 5 pockets. These are features that your Clients will likely love but can’t get on denim elsewhere.
