Hi ace&jig friends & family, 

Jenna and Cary here. we want to share some important news with you about ace&jig, and some necessary changes we are making.

these last six months have forced us to reexamine absolutely everything. like many, when Covid hit, we had to scramble to figure out how to keep our business alive. we took a hard look at what was working and what wasn't. what felt right and what didn't. it was not possible to keep doing everything we had been doing, so we had to dream up a new way of doing things.  

after a lot of soul searching, we've decided to scale back our business, simplify and prioritize. we want to make things more thoughtfully and sustainably while remaining true to our values. we are going forward with a commitment to make less clothing. 
 

what does this mean?

for 2020...

we will release our first edited assortment of our Fall 2020 collection this month on aceandjig.com only. the rest of this collection will be released gradually in small assortments over the coming months. this collection was designed more than a year ago, and has taken a long journey getting here. we are so excited to share it with you!
 

for 2021 and beyond.

you will not see a Spring 2021 or Fall 2021 collection from us. instead of making new textiles in 2021, we will be using our existing resources. we will be offering a limited assortment of pieces created from our leftover archival textiles, past season sales, pieces made from our scrap fabrics made by Projecthrive, renewed pieces from The Renewal Workshop, and fundraisers. the next time you will see new textiles from us will be in 2022. 

the two of us and our team of four employees will remain focused on our value driven initiatives such as Fair Trade and B Corp certification, and our commitments to size inclusivity, sustainability, social justice and Black Lives Matter, among others. 

as part of finding our new balance and digging into these crucial initiatives, we will be less active on social media.  as always, we love to hear from you at info@aceandjig.com. 

THANK YOU for sharing our passion for textiles and our goal of being a source of positive change. your support means so much to us as we embrace this next chapter in our textile love story.

as you may know,
this summer offering was originally intended to be part of our spring collection.
due to Covid, and the constraints and difficulties to our business that have followed, 
we weren''t sure if we''d even be able to create this collection at all! 
so sharing these joyful styles and textiles with you now feels extra special.

to make this collection possible, we had to make some changes.
as a result, we will not be able to release our Piano textile. 
we also were not able to produce the Evan Dress, Toby Dress, and Muscle Tank,
and had to reduce the sizing on our Stroll Pant.
 

with that said, we have not allowed any of the hurdles we are facing
to derail our mission toward expanding our size range and refining our fits.
this is a priority for us.
 

we will be releasing 20 styles over the next month,
with 10 of them available in additional sizing.

in our upcoming fall '20 season, 
there will be a higher percentage of styles going up to 2X and 4X than ever before.
