  • Spirit of J.Hilburn 2021

    Hello Stylists!

    The time has come to submit your 2021 Spirit of J.Hilburn nominee! The deadline to submit your nominee is June 14, at 11:59 PM CT.

    We’ve watched you all excel and adapt to the new normal throughout the past year, and we couldn’t be more proud of the Stylists helping to lead the way. We would like to recognize an exemplary Stylist, selected by their peers, who exudes ambition, dedication, and leadership for the past year. 

    The Spirit of J.Hilburn nominee represents much more than individual success. This is a Stylist who embodies a real passion for creating self-confidence not only in their clients but their team as well. They have a true dedication for Styling and delivering far beyond the set expectations. 

    We are looking for a Stylist who not only builds the foundation but paves the way for others, never looking for recognition, only results.

    A special congratulations to our previous Spirit of J.Hilburn winners: 

    2020 – Katie Cantrill

    2019 – Sarah Ramsay

    2018 – Deborah Scanlan

    2017 – Ginger Williams

    2016 – Jill Kennedy

    2015 – Jane Wolfman

    The Spirit of J.Hilburn Character embodies and inspires J.Hilburn’s Core Values by showing:
    • Integrity
      • We will be honest and consistent in our actions, methods, expectations, and outcomes. The true definition of Integrity is the adherence to moral and ethical principles. As leaders, we recognize the impact that we have on others. We are conscious of how our behavior and words impact those around us intentionally and, oftentimes, unintentionally. Integrity requires humility, authenticity, and self-awareness as we interact with others.
    • Trust
      • We will foster a trust-based culture, where team members feel safe, secure and have clarity on vision and direction. Trust brings out the best in people and inspires creativity, innovation, and meaningful work. “Trust is equal parts character and competence… You can look at any leadership failure, and it’s always a failure of one or the other.” ― Stephen M.R. Covey, The Speed of Trust: The One Thing that Changes Everything.
    • Excellence
      • We strive for greatness in everything we do as we differentiate, innovate and go above and beyond to make every product, interaction, and decision executed with excellence. This sometimes means getting gritty, speaking up, and being a change agent. As we demand excellence, we hold ourselves accountable when we don’t always succeed and learn and improve at every turn.
    • Win-Win
      • We are committed to creatively crafting mutually beneficial relationships that result in a win for all stakeholders – Clients, Stylists, Employees, Vendors. Innovative thinking, resourcefulness, and problem-solving can produce outcomes that can result in success for everyone.
    • Communication
      • We are devoted to clear, transparent, thoughtful, and reliable communication that’s consistent. We understand that communication should come in different forms depending on the audience, that communication is a two-way street, which involves the important art of listening. We should seek first to understand and always have positive intent.
    • Teamwork
      • We are a J.Hilburn family, and we are in it together. We respect the contribution of others – no matter the title or role – and shoulder-to-shoulder, we work to execute with excellence. Teamwork means we are “all in” and ensure accountability and support from start to finish.
    • Responsibility
      • We have a responsibility to do the right thing in every aspect of our business. We’re committed to providing a quality, differentiated experience to our Clients, a thriving workplace for our Stylists and Employees, a creative partnership with our Vendors, and a commitment to sustainability to the environment and giving back to the communities that we serve.
    • Love Life
      • We are passionate about our work and also our personal lives and foster continuous learning and self-improvement. We encourage an environment of fun, personal well-being, and finding time to enjoy all aspects of living life to the fullest.

    All Stylists are eligible to be nominated, except for previous winners as listed above.

    The submission window ends on 6/14/20 at 11:59 PM CT

  • Shirt Darts

    If your Client has extra shirt fabric in the lower back of his shirt, you may have tried to fix this by reducing the finished waist, just to discover that it makes the front midsection too snug. Darts are created to correct this exact fit issue!

    Darts are two vertical seams sewn into the back of a dress shirt. Each dart has a depth of 3/8” at its widest point at the waist.  The 2 darts combined remove 3/4” total from the back of the shirt. Darts start at the armhole and end 3” above the hem of the shirt.

    Darts are created to remove excess fabric from the lower back of the shirt without reducing the finished waist measurement. Many Clients have a curve in their lower back so adding darts to the shirt will improve the shape of the shirt in that area.

    Adding darts will not reduce the size of the shirt midsection. When darts are added the shirtwaist will still measure what has been ordered.  The 3/4” taken from the back of the shirt is redispersed to the front. This way just the shape of the shirt is improved, not increased.

    If your Client wants to reduce the amount of fabric just at the lower back but likes how the shirt fits at the stomach, we suggest reducing the waist by 0.50” and select the dart option located in the Style Options section of your Client’s order.
