Wierd clothing sizes?

Ok everyone, I know that we have members here from all over the world, so I am hoping that someone here can help me with this! Besides our shoe store, we have a catalog return type store too, and we just got in a shipment of Lane Bryant stores clothing. The problem we have is that some of the sizes are not sized by X, 1X, 12,14 ect, they have sizes like B2, J2, H4, H8 and so on, all in pants, not tops of any sort. I have googled it and cannot find anything about these sizes, so I'm coming here, hoping some of you might could lead me to some info ! Thanks!

I am sorry I can not help you here . It is sure no German sizes . I hope you will get help soon . Did you compare the sizes to some english sizes to see if you could guess maybe ?

mm.. I can't help with the sizes excepting maybe the letter s asre representative of the heights? c\\so perhaps the number is the actual size, and then there's a size comparison.. have you tried figuring out where LB sells to? I can't tell.

However.. you don't sell boots with larger shafts do you? I have thick legs and can't find boots *wehhhhhhH*

Well, I do know that we have had some boots that would fit over my fat calves, so I guess the answer is yes to that question, but like the other store, we never know what we're going to be getting in at any given time style and sizewise.

Haven't heard of these numbers-maybe something internal to LB??

mmm.. i'm looking for some nice black lace ups with a good heel.. been looking for ages but no luck in a style I like unfortunately.. I hate those elastic boots. :/

Is there a contact Email address or Phone Number on the catalog? I would say that would be your best bet. Cos I haven't heard of this either. If you find out let us know.

According to a lady on my quilting forum, these are European sizes, here's the link she gave me:

I'm familiar with the 38, 40, etc., but I've never seen the B, J, H, etc..over here.

I'm thinking probably that it is something of an "internal sizing code" that LB is using in their European stores, maybe the manufacturers make certain clothes just for them, and use their own codes, maybe to keep down counterfits or something?
