Help needed this weekend! Please! We are moving out of 2 more storage units into a better warehouse space. This will help us get most of our stuff together in one place and save us a lot of $$$. If you can help give us a hand, we would very much appreciate it. Saturday - Pacoima. Sunday - Glendale to Pacoima.
Please and thank you.

We have been going to the New Space almost every day and it's really starting to take shape. I've been bringing more and more boxes and bins from storage, some of which haven't been gone through since we had to give up our shop 6 years ago. Since we have had to pack in haste several times, there have been too many "Just shove it al into a bin" bins, and now is the time to go through them all.
I'm coming across a lot of "Yes, it's beautiful, but there isn't enough to do anything", the occasional "That's where that got to", and of course, plenty of "What the hell was I saving that for?" And yet I am still running into "I know I have that specific thing somewhere, but where?"
I've been putting together some big care packages for friends who do patchwork quilts and such. and I have a few "Sell or give away" bins, but it's slowly getting dealt with. I almost have real workspace on the cutting table.
Almost ready to go back to tilting at those windmills again.

Yesterday's move efforts were pretty hefty. We moved a lot of the heavier cabinetry. (Boy, there sure are a lot of shelves needed for this enterprise!) Now to organize those shelves and cabinets. Our thanks again go to Peter (the Great!) who helped these two old guys move all the heavy stuff into the truck and then into place.
The other good news has been that we have emptied one storage unit and should have another empty by Sunday. That will save us a lot of dough.

Another moving day and it was terrific! We got lots of fabric moved. And patterns. And more fabric. (Did I mention that we moved a LOT of fabric?) Still have to sort and organize it all, and yes, there were many "that's where that was" moments.
As always, we are so thankful for the help of our friends Rob and Joanne who were champions.
Also huge thanks to Jane and Paul who helped us bring over lots of shelves and supplies over the weekend.
Our next big push will be Thursday when we move some really heavy cabinets, hopefully the ironing table, and yet more fabric.

Our move into our new space is progressing, but is not a rapid process. We moved out of our shop space in Burbank exactly 6 years ago. We had to move quickly and there was a huge amount of stuff. Our focus was getting out in a hurry and not on packing the storage spaces for efficient unloading into a new space. As we are trying to set up our new space, inevitably we find that things that we need are all the way in the back, or have a dozen things stacked on top of them, or ...
So, it's not like we spend a week moving everything and it's automatically ready to go. Packing in haste means that cartons have to be gone through, decisions made on what to keep, what to throw away , and what to try to sell.
We celebrate the progress we've made and give great thanks to everyone who has helped, or will be helping us turn this into a working space. Soon, please G-d, soon.

We did great today! Moved all the sewing machines, my cutting table, and a bunch of other stuff too. Hero of the day is , along with Lee & Marc. Also a huge thank you to Zad who helped us set up a lot of shelving yesterday! Much gratitude all around!

07/25/2024

Tomorrow is a big moving day. Begging for any available muscle. Please!

07/20/2024

The move is going slowly and quickly but much progress. Big thanks to our heroes Mateo and Wendy! They truly saved us.

Moving day #2 tomorrow - Moving from storage in Glendale to new location in Pacoima. Would greatly appreciate any who can help!

07/16/2024

We start the big move tomorrow, Tuesday. If you can give us a hand, we will be most grateful. Please DM or text me.

Dear Patrons, Friends, and Supporters,

It is with a great sense of relief and excitement that I am able to share some excellent news about Mr. Alan Jeffries Fine Gentlemen’s Apparel and AJS Costumes!

Many of you have contacted me to express concern about delivery and construction delays. The good news is that there is an end in sight and production will be relaunched in the weeks ahead.

For those who have not been close to the situation, I have been without a commercial workroom, through no fault of my own, for over three months. The company that had offered me a workspace for the past18 months succumbed to financial difficulties and had to surrender their business and the building rather quickly. This left me, and a few others, scrambling to retrieve our stock and equipment and move it all safely into storage.

Unfortunately, the market for available, affordable commercial spaces in the Los Angeles area has been very tight for several years but I have finally found a workable solution that, while not ideal, will be suitable for the foreseeable future! I shall be moving into and arranging the new space in Pacoima shortly, and hope to resume production by the end of July.

At the same time, for the past 2 years I have been contending with some serious health issues which understandably have hindered my productivity. However, at this junction I’m grateful to share that treatments have been successful, and my medical “entourage” are positive and continue to provide excellent updates.

All that said, I was fortunate enough to have received many custom orders from this past Dickens Fair. My intention is to focus on the custom-made orders, both new and some back orders, in the most expeditious manner and to deliver to my customers as soon as they are completed.

Thank you all for your continued support and understanding. I hope to have more updates and “ETAs” available very soon.

With appreciation,

Jeff Schoenberg
AKA Mr. Alan Jeffries

Asking for strong helpers on Thursday to move my sewing machines and much other stuff into storage. Please DM me if you are able to help. Please and thank you.

Well, we did it. Not everything got moved, but we moved another 12 racks, easily another 40 bins, and close to 1,000 yds of fabric. Huge thanks to Wendy Polutanovich, Rob Vestal, Nazhat Hester, her husband Tom, and, of course, my husband, Michael R. Cabler. A lot of hard, exhausting work, I wasn't sure it would all fit, but we did. More to do next week, like the machines. I definitely need to get my own workspace and soon.

05/01/2024

Today was a bust. No access to the building. Tomorrow we're promised by 10 AM. Still need help moving out. Thanks.
