  • Weekly Update – January 30, 2026

    NEW THIS WEEK

    We are happy to share that we are launching a selection of our Spring suiting early on Tuesday, February 17th, to give you more opportunities to sell for Spring celebrations, such as Easter and the Kentucky Derby. 

    We are hosting a kickoff call for these early releases on Thursday, February 12th, at 1:00 pm CST. Please join us for this special kickoff call to learn about these early arrivals so that you can share them effectively with your Clients. 

    Please join Brand President Simon Kneen and Director of Merchandising Nicole Coury on Monday, March 2nd, at 1:00 PM CST for a special kick-off call to unveil J.Hilburn’s 2026 Spring Collection.

    During this call, Simon and Nicole will walk through all aspects of the Spring Collection, including new styles, fabrics, and key looks.

    Inspired by the golden age of Hollywood, our Spring collection blends timeless style with a modern, relaxed sensibility. Soft tailoring, art deco influences, and a palette reminiscent of Pacific sunshine and Beverly Hills gardens set the tone. From elevated knits to refined formalwear, every piece channels effortless sophistication.

    This call will introduce multiple new styles, so you’ll want to pay close attention and be ready to take notes. The call will be recorded and available in the Newsroom for you to reference.  

    Attending this call is the best way to gain essential product knowledge about the Spring Collection so you can wow your Clients with the new offerings.

    The 2026 Spring Collection will be available to sell on Tuesday, March 3rd.

    Please be mindful of the following upcoming factory closures when placing orders:

    February 2026:

    VTG: February 14-22 (Shirts, Knits, Pants, Denim)

    March 2026:

    TGM: March 2-3 (Suits & Outerwear)

    Closures are also listed in the Green Room Calendar. Lead times seen in the Green Room and the Stylist App account for closures, so the ETA is accurately reflected.
