    SELLING

    We’ve recently received some requests for classic gingham and bright colors in shirting, so we have reactivated some fabrics we have on hand to test demand. The following five SKUs are now live and priced at $148:

    • SOM8
    • SOM9
    • SOM10
    • SOM13
    • SOK8

    We are so excited to see the success of the new Italian Knit pant program we introduced in the Pre-Spring collection. You have done a great job selling the Black pant – and we are almost through our fabric inventory in that color. We will not be reordering the Black color because the fabric mill is having challenges matching our original color standard. 

    Due to a quality issue, we have to temporarily deactivate the Heather Blue jacket lining. We expect the replenishment to arrive and be available to select again by January. 

    Below are some great alternatives we have available to select!

    As an independent contractor with J.Hilburn, Stylists must provide J.Hilburn with an IRS W-9 Form that includes your name, billing address, and social security number or federal tax identification number. This information is required for the IRS Form 1099 reporting.

Your account must reflect the legal name under which you will be filing your taxes or you may email a new W9 to stylistcare@jhilburn.com

    If your information has changed or if you have not submitted your form to J.Hilburn, please complete and send the IRS W-9 Form. The form can be found in the Newsroom by searching “tax” and can also be downloaded from the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf.

    We want to prevent you from receiving a notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stating that the combination of the name and taxpayer identification number (Name/TIN combination) on your account with J.Hilburn, Inc. does not match and needs to be corrected. A Name/TIN combination is incorrect if it does not match a Name/TIN combination shown on the records of the Social Security Administration (SSA) or the IRS.
