Weekly Update – August 22, 2025
NEW THIS WEEK

Please be aware that some packages are experiencing longer-than-usual delays while going through customs. Due to ongoing tariff changes, customs officials are following updated guidelines that require them to audit shipments more thoroughly. This is slowing the clearance process. While this is outside of our control, we will continue to monitor shipments closely and appreciate your patience as UPS works through these delays.

This week’s Simon Says highlights exciting enhancements to the new suiting collection, including greater versatility across styles such as suits, sportscoats, shirt jackets, vests, and windstoppers. The youthful shirt jacket now features waist and hip adjustments and an option for suiting buttons (excluding delicate mother-of-pearl). The fashion vest is now also sold separately, crafted in a broader selection of fabrics for modern styling. Our popular windstopper receives a sleek redesign too—with a new button-out system and interchangeable fronts, including vest and hooded options, giving clients more ways to customize and layer their wardrobe.

NEW this season: Stylists can purchase personalized labels for the lookbooks in the J.Hilburn portal on Moo.com. We have reserved space on the back cover for the personalized labels.

We are pleased to share that in mid-September, we will be introducing a small capsule of product we are calling “The Cashmere Reserve,” containing a level of product higher than our current first-tier fabrics. The creation of this capsule was based on Stylist feedback that there are some Clients who shop for cashmere from designer brands and were requesting this type of product. The reserve selection is an exclusive addition to current cashmere outerwear, sweaters, and blends of cashmere that are available for all Stylists.
This small capsule is a TEST intended to measure the appetite for this type of product. As such, we are initially inviting only SILVER AND ABOVE Circle of Excellence members to participate in the test. This group of stylists has received an email invitation to opt in to the test group. If you received the invite, please RSVP to participate and be put on the security group list for this capsule in Green Room and the Stylist App.

Friendly reminder to take advantage of the Personal Sales Volume Bonus (PSVB), a great way to reward your hard work and help you grow your earnings! From April 2025 through September 2025, Stylists can earn up to an additional 3.1% bonus on their personal monthly sales volume.
The program begins at the Circle of Excellence (COE) Gold level, starting at $12,000 in monthly sales, and includes tiered bonus opportunities:
Earn a $150 bonus when you reach COE Gold ($12K monthly PSV).
For every additional $4,000 in Personal Sales Volume, you’ll earn an extra $150 bonus—all the way up to 3X Platinum COE ($48K).

This 6-month test program reflects our commitment to put more money in your pocket and recognize your personal sales success.
Stay focused, stay consistent, and maximize your earning potential with PSVB!

Our next Tips From the Top is scheduled for Tuesday, September 2nd at 11:00 AM CST immediately following the All-Stylist Call at 10:30AM CST.
Each Tips From The Top session features an experienced Stylist from the field who will share the strategies and steps that have led to their success.

This fall, we are launching several fit updates for Outerwear Jackets, Suiting and Fashion Vests, and the Relaxed Chino. Please watch the short video below covering each of these updates.

We have experienced some colored shading issues on the Fall 2025 Shirting item AL249. Because of this quality issue, Albini will be replacing the fabric. However, this will delay the fabric’s availability until Pre-Spring. Providing the highest quality products is of the utmost importance to maintain our brand in the marketplace. We appreciate your understanding of the need for this delay.

We know you are excited about the new buttons available in the Fall 2025 Collection. When we shipped the new buttons, as part of your Fall 2025 Sales Tools package, we did not include the Velcro to adhere the new samples to your button display. But, good news! Velcro has been shipped this week, so you should receive it shortly. And, even better news – We are in the process of developing a new button card that will have room for all the new button options. We’ll update you when it becomes available.

Great news for Stylists with Clients that live in Massachusetts! The MA Sales Tax Holiday is happening next weekend – Saturday, August 10 & Sunday, August 11 – and it’s the perfect time to drive sales with your Clients.
Here’s what you need to know:
What: Massachusetts tax-free weekend applies to most retail items up to $2,500.
When: Saturday, August 10 – Sunday, August 11.
Why it matters: Your clients can save 6.25% in sales tax on eligible purchases – that’s a great incentive to invest in custom or RTW pieces for fall.
Important: The shipping address on the order must be in Massachusetts for it to qualify for the tax exemption.
We’ll be sending a client-facing email out this Saturday, August 2^nd to promote the Tax-Free Weekend, but now is the time to reach out personally to your Clients and:
Offer a quick wardrobe refresh or fitting appointment
Suggest higher-ticket items (suiting, outerwear, etc.) they’ve been considering
Encourage them to take advantage of the tax savings before the weekend ends
We’ll also host a brief Zoom touch-base to talk strategy, answer questions, and share ideas on how to make the most of the weekend:
When: Tuesday, August 5^th 9am CST

DON’T MISS!

We are excited to open pre-orders for the PRINTED version of the Fall/Winter 2025 Lookbook at $6.00 per piece. Although tariffs increased our price for the Lookbooks, we’re happy to share that YOUR price will not increase this year! The Lookbooks will be available in the Stylist Store in Packs of 5 for $30. Delivery is expected in early August to align with the launch of the season.
This PRINTED version of the Lookbook will not replace the expanded DIGITAL Lookbook that will be available before the Fall launch.
There are many reasons you should invest in this great marketing tool, including:
New Clients – a perfect leave-behind to present our brand and collections
Disengaged Clients – catch their attention by mailing it to them
As a Mentor – give them to your team for them to share
As a Recruiter – share our brand and beautiful products with potential Stylists

Visit the Stylist Store in Green Room to Place Your Pre-Order

At this year’s Conference, we had a physical “Stylist Store” providing attendees the opportunity to purchase our custom samples onsite. To accommodate this physical “Stylist Store”, custom samples were temporarily taken offline from the online Stylist Store in the Green Room.
We expect to have the custom samples back online in the Stylist Store by early August, once our Warehouse Team has completed the inventory check-in process. We will notify you as soon as the samples are officially available again online.

Achieve Your Target, Earn $100!
July’s heating up, and so is your chance to earn more! Here’s a challenge that puts extra cash in your pocket.
The challenge runs July 1, 2025 – July 31, 2025:
Your target is to beat your 2024 Personal Volume (PV) by +10% in July 2025.
If you didn’t sell more than $910 last July: Your target is minimum $1,000.
By achieving or exceeding your target by July 31st, you will earn a $100 bonus.
Combined with your PSVB earnings, your commission check will be even bigger!

Example:
Example Stylist’s July 2024 Sales: $1000
Example Stylist’s July 2025 Target: $1000 + 10% ($100) = July 2025 Target $1100

Check your PV in the Stylist App or Green Room throughout the month to track your progress. A tracker for this challenge is available in the Green Room.
Now is a good time to reach out to your Clients, build momentum, and grow your earnings. If you have any questions about this challenge, please reach out to the Stylist Success Team for assistance.
You’ve got everything to gain. Let’s go and have an amazing July.
