We are excited to share that Allen Edmonds is officially re-launching at J.Hilburn!
Based on our previous successful partnership and by popular demand from our top sellers, we have reinstated our working relationship with Allen Edmonds to offer you and your Clients a wider selection of new shoes.
We will continue to carry To Boot New York shoes in addition to the new assortment from Allen Edmonds, allowing you to offer a wider selection of shoes to your clients.
Allen Edmonds has a great history of producing quality shoes that men love to wear. They will be fully supporting us with inventory, including wide sizes, and are willing to work with us for special order needs.
Please join Chief Creative Officer, Simon Kneen and Director of Merchandising, Nicole Coury along with the Allen Edmonds team for a webinar LIVE from their NYC Showroom to kick off J.Hilburn’s partnership with Allen Edmonds on January 6th at 10:00 AM CST.

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.
Loro Piana has seen great success with this quality – and Navy is a best-selling color! They are scrambling to keep up with the high demand and normally have a 120-day lead time for production. Right now, they are quoting early March for replenishment. We are working closely with them to monitor the progress. In the meantime, we have put LP162 Navy Australis as “temporarily unavailable” until March 10. We will update you if the situation improves.
In the meantime, here are some alternatives you can offer your Client – A1N Navy Revenge or F1L Navy Fancy Solid.
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!
