NEW THIS WEEK
The Home Office will be closed on Monday, January 20th in observance of Martin Luther King Day. Stylist Care and Fit Advice will resume with regular business hours on Tuesday, January 21st.
If you need assistance during the January 20th holiday, please utilize J.E.S.S.I. in the Stylist App, or email stylistcare@jhilburn.com or fitadvice@jhilburn.com. Email inquiries will be returned on Tuesday, January 21st.
The Shirt and Knit 3D Configurator for the Spring 2025 Collection is planned for release in the 1st quarter of 2025. We will provide an update on the exact launch date as we get closer to the release.
The Allen Edmonds James Dress Loafer in Black has been temporarily deactivated. This is due to a holiday-related production delay and high demand generated by events such as the Golden Globes and other upcoming award shows that depleted the inventory they had on hand.
Allen Edmonds expects this shoe to be replenished early to mid-February. In the meantime, if your Client needs an elevated dress shoe, we recommend the Allen Edmonds Carlyle Oxford as an excellent alternative. This lace-up style offers a sophisticated, polished look and will serve as a great option while we await the return of the James Dress Loafer.
DON’T MISS!
PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE SPRING 2025 COLLECTION KICKOFF CALL ON FEBRUARY 3RD AT 12:00PM CST!

HAVE YOUR SALES TOOLS AND SWATCHES ON HAND FOR THE CALL. Be ready to take notes. The call will be recorded and available as soon as possible.
There is no better way to be prepared for the Spring selling season than to attend this meeting and gain the product knowledge that will help you to wow your Clients with personalized looks from this year’s Spring Collection.
The Spring 2024 season opens for sales on Tuesday, February 4th.
2025 has begun, and that means Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! We want to ensure our clients look sharp for any special plans they have that day. Please refer to these dates below as guidelines for when orders should be placed in order to arrive in time for Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day Cut-offs | |
Category | Date |
Suits, Outerwear, Belts | 1/16/2025 |
Shirts, Knits, Casual Pants (excluding Denim) | 1/21/2025 |
RTW | 2/5/2025 |
We cannot guarantee Valentine’s Day delivery for Custom Denim, given the longer lead time for these items. Please place your orders as soon as possible.
Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and we’ve made it easy for you to share the love with your Clients with images for texting and social sharing in Custom Made Social. Cupid dropped these images into CMS in the Valentine’s Day category. Happy sharing!
Later this month, our partners at the VTG factory in Vietnam will be taking some much-deserved time off to celebrate the TET holiday (1/27/2025-1/31/2025). This will add one week to the lead time for shirts, knits, and casual pants – but rest assured, the lead times you see in Green Room will account for the holiday, and order ETAs will be reflected accurately. As always, please feel free to reach out to Stylist Care for any specific questions about your orders.
Due to high interest, the printed Spring 2025 Collection Lookbooks pre-order has been extended through January! Spring Lookbooks are available in packs of five (5) for $30 ($6 per book). We’re excited to offer you this opportunity to maximize your business by putting J.Hilburn in the hands of new Clients and helping your new Stylists get off to a great start.
How Do I Pre-Order the Lookbooks?
To place your pre-order, visit the Stylist Store. A SKU has been added for purchase, (SS25Lookbook-5pack). We will not have extra copies on hand for future purchase, so be sure to anticipate all your spring selling needs and pre-order a large enough quantity to last you throughout the season.
Selling
We faced some challenges with our sportcoat lining replenishment on this round, but the shipment is expected at the factory later this week. In the meantime, we have temporarily removed these items from the Green Room until they are back in stock. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work diligently to restock.
Learning
Tailored Talks happen each Tuesday at 11AM CST.
Join us on Tuesday, January 21 at 11:00 AM CST for our next Tailored Talk, where we’ll take a high-level look at this year’s Sales and Leadership Summit. Whether you attended SLS or not, you won’t want to miss this session where we take a deep dive into the information from this year’s Summit that will be most impactful on you and your business.
