[edit] Jacob
Jacob (branch) is the fashion store of the brand, targeting women in their mid-twenties to mid-forties. They are known for a more formal attire compared to Jacob Connexion (listed below) including business suits and semi-formal dresses into their line of clothing. Sizes range from XS-XL. The line includes jewellery and accessories along with dress pants, sweaters, cardigan, dress shirts, etc. Commonly, most Jacob stores are setup to have Jacob Lingerie next door.
More recently Jacob has been opening three brand stores containing Jacob, Jacob Lingerie and Jacob Connexion.
[edit] Jacob Connexion
Jacob Connexion is the casual/weekend store for teens and adults known for its quality and comfort. Jacob Connexion include a wide range of trendy and classic jeans, polo shirts, essential items, Capri pants and sweatshirts. Jacob Connexion clothing is inspired from European designs and often spots Jacob's world famous squirrel mascot. The smallest size is 1/2 and ranges up to 13/14. Like the "regular" Jacob store, tops are sized XS to XL and tanks are sized XS to L. Jacob Connexion is the newest division, which opened in 1999 under the name Jacob Annexe. A few years later, the name was changed to Jacob Connexion. You will often find Jacob Connexion located in “power centers” for easy car and public transit access.
[edit] Jacob Lingerie
The Jacob Lingerie boutique features basic essential items like bras, panties, lingerie, sleepwear and loungewear. Bra selection is from 32A - 36D; panties S-M-L; most other items sized XS - L.
Colors and styles are seasonal so there is not a lot of range within styles of bras at one time or another, but they are reasonably priced.
[edit] Jacob Jr.
Jacob Jr. is the branch for preschoolers to pre-teens. They feature a conservative line of clothing for girls ages five to 14. The line includes sweaters, jackets, jeans, sports attire, tees, camisoles and other accessories. They also carry a line of undergarments for the girls. Sizes range from XS - XXL in shirts and for pants from 2- 16. Common features of the Jacob logo include the number 1986 (or 86) and the squirrel.
The Jacob Jr. brand has been discontinued as the company has decided to only focus on its adult female demographic. All remaining open Jr. locations are liquidation stores.
[edit] Josef
Josef stores opened in 2005 (5 initial stores). The product line is targeting 35+ years old women.
[edit] Menswear
Jacob sold menswear under the "Jacob Homme" name for a few years in the 1980s and early 1990s.
