 PROFILE
Brylane is one of the largest US catalog retailers selling apparel to people who need a plus. The company sells plus-size women's clothes through its Lane Bryant, Jessica London, and Roaman's catalogs and men's apparel under the KingSize name. Brylane also sells women's apparel through the Lerner, Real Comfort and Chadwick's of Boston catalogs, and it has a catalog of home items, Brylane Home. Brylane markets some catalogs under an agreement with Sears. It focuses on clothing with limited fashion risk and broad selections of sizes, styles, and colors.
