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.
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.
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.

Josef stores opened in 2005 (5 initial stores). The product line is targeting 35+ years old women.
Menswear
Jacob sold menswear under the "Jacob Homme" name for a few years in the 1980s and early 1990s.
