Review from Natalie T.

If it's one store the US doesn't have it's a Jacob store. And for those looking for the basics and classics, this is the store to go to. That said, like many stores recently I feel like the quality has dropped.
VIBE
This location in particular is pretty stark white. Their front section is good. If you go downstairs, it's where you'll find lingerie and sale items in addition to sportier wear and more changing rooms.
Staff are pretty hands off but friendly.
THE GOODS
Their front section is usually where the best stuff is. I find better stuff on the upper floor than bottom.
I quite like the Eaton Centre location (didn't see a listing for them). They renovated a year or two ago and their lingerie section is quite good (lower level). I've also picked up some nifty costume jewelry from them.
If you're looking for work gear, this is the place to come. I especially like Jacob for its shirts. Affordable coats/jackets are also good buys here.
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
it's quite refreshing to say we have something that the US doesn't. Na na na na!
Note: the Yorkdale and Eaton Centre locations are quite good.
The First Canadian Place location has some pretty good sale items if you can get down there during the day.Listed in: Non-Food 30 Day Challenge

Review from Chris P.

I really love both the look and the quality of the clothes at Jacob, and the fact that I pass by this location every day on my way to and from work definitely makes it convenient for me!
I've found many outits here which are perfect for my hectic work life as they look professional but are still comfy and fit well. Plus I love the lingerie, its so sexy but yet somehow still comfy and functional.
Unfortuantley though I find the prices on a whole to be fairly high and for some pieces what they are charging is far too much. The fact that they are higher priced does turn me off a bit especially since there are other women's clothiers out there who carry very similar stock to Jacob but yet thier prices are anywhere from 40%-70% less.
While they will remain my 'special treat' place for me, unfortunately I ust can't make it my regular pit stop as I do still need some cash for rent at the end of the month! -

I love this store so much. If I had to pick one place to buy all of my clothes for the rest of my life, it would be Jacob.
This Jacob is especially great because it's huge - the upstairs is dedicated to dressy, work clothing (pants, skirts, dresses, shirts, jackets, etc) and slightly more business casual dress wear, where the downstairs is more street-type casual clothing, like a wide range of jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, etc.
Jacob, in my mind, is like a less expensive Banana Republic. The clothes are well made with good materials and in modern cuts. The also have some really great jeans, and I personally have a hard time going in here without buying something.
The clothes are also really well priced considering the quality and though it might not have that Banana Republic brand power, you probably couldn't tell if you were wearing the clothes. For anyone visiting Canada, I highly recommend dropping some cash in this store - I swear you won't regret it!
