time to boycott them

better buy non-factory outlet... now is mega sale time!

+1

Yeah! But I'm hopping the price increase is because of the christmas season and the chinese new year season only. Might come back down after that.

haha, reject shop and FOS suppose to sell cheap stuffs.

but these days i go in, i see the shirts range rm40-70. rm100+ also got.

wtf, somemore ppl still buy( refering to my sis and mom)

me and my dad sit down and debate why woman can stand and shop in a shop for 2-3 hours but cant walk for 15mnis.

once increase will never decrease

oh?but tat day bf jz bought one which is nt bad n 50 % summore...rm30 50% =rm15...=) wat a steal!

FOS clothes' size are big. I hardly find clothes that fit my size for cheaper ones

it actually depends on the brand sometimes.
once i was lucky that i bought a GAP jumper for less than rm30
kids size la. but im big size as well, i actually manage to fit in

JUST BUY A "bundle" BRAND

yeah, totally agree with that! last time i went there... almost everthg are consider cheap, & FOS started to become my favourite store when i found a super nice morgan top for RM30~ till now its still one of my fav top.
but since few months ago... when i went there.. everythg seems not cheap anymore... a simple t-shirt 30++. walao... i rather shop in other store lo...

i like to visit FOS too...luv their teess...
yeshhh..their price increased!!!

and then last time use HSBC got 10% discount for all normal price item..
now have to spend above rm60 only can get 15% discount...

Really?
Its one of my favourite shopping spot

Anyway, I think I still can't hold back myself from shopping there tomoro.

haha, yeah, some are quite worth it.
but i see some of their tees the material not so good anymore.
especially junkfood tee

like the tees there, where to buy bundle brand?

Boycott!

i always go to The Zone for my clothes and shoes. Tax free branded items...

oh...used to go there buy cloth....

boycott??
oso can,,
cause,the pricing is increasing,,
they suppose to be cheap as well as the items is directly from factory,,
reject shop rite?oso the same situation
+my english is not so good+

Which one u go? I usually do my clothes shopping at the Johor one

FOS is seriously expensive than other shop.. with that price i would rather add more $ for PDI or etc...

u can consider Reject shop instead...

expensive but sometimes i still shop there
some are quite worth the price.

Hm..i used to shop in FOS and reject shop too but right now, i feel their price is really increasing.

Prefer to shop in Nichii, Treats or small boutique which sells very trendy and cheaper than FOS. Oh and certainly not rejected goods!

hmm.. n the FOS shirts also hav no quality
i just bought a t-shirt, wash it be4 i wear
n end up the shape changes.. eventhough i havent wear it..
boycott ~!!

inflation !

sometime cheap thing also can have quality.
Jusco have a lot of cheap cloth expecially during Sales¬

but FOS is expensive and not good quality.

i bought Jeep and Forest Polo Shirt at RM25 and RM20 only.
of course, 100% new and not rejected stock¬!

How much is te Polo Ralph Lauren there now?

i just go there buy those 2 for RM30 geh~~~XD

others like T shirts are nice...

but ah....

the price make me crazy~~~~~~@@+

I better go buy those ROMP or NICHI~~~~><

I totally agreed with u. I wen to FOS yesterday, thinking of buying cheap t-shirt. Mana tau the cheapest I saw is Rm30

Went FOS today...Super happy wif my purchases...



Bought 3 pairs of jeans for RM99.90, 4 T-Shirt for only RM60( so that means RM15 each)
They are having Buy one free one promotion now..Including all their cute T..

It depends on whether you have the sense.
If you do, you'll get to find great bargain at FOS.
I just bought a junk food t-shirt for my bf at RM45. It is a brand that wore by many celeb like Paris Hilton, Alicia Keys etc.
And I got myself an Old Navy dress. Old Navy is a brand under GAP which is the 'basic must have' of a model. So the cutting and the fabric quality consider very fine. It is only RM30.
Love to have a little 'treasure hunt' at FOS.

hahah,
yeah, sometimes it depends luck.
can find branded stuff there.
i even got a few tee there,
GAP, banana republic, and alot of junk food tees

Yea..and actually I found a floral dress from Energie. Rm39 buy 1 free one. But I cant find another Rm39 item. (According to the staff if I only take one piece I'll be charge the normal price)
It has blue and white two colors. My bf said why dont I just take two colors of that.
So...I'm going back there soon TO GET MY DRESS!

I'm not the petite size, the cutting from US/British just suit me well.

hahaha,
yeah, if its worth the price,
get both of it them
no harm having the same dress but different colours.

i luv their GAP spaghetti stripes...
gud in quality n fair price

I like Factory Outlet a lot, but i do agree that it's getting quite expensive.
I look out for reputable brands like gap, JJill, their quality is much better. In fact, i have a JJill pants for 2 years now. Still very good.
Wait till the buy 1 free 1. Hopefully with this economic situation, they will reduce?

i thought their buy1 free 1 promotion still on?
hmmm try checking out

well,
it depends on certain branch maybe?
my sister is a S size, and she get all her clothes there most of the time.
and how do u consider low quality?
mind sharing?

and as a respect for other people as well,
rather than calling xxxl size ppl,
it sounds better if u call them bigger sizes ppl.
the way u type might sound discriminating to other ppl.

no hard feelings

do they sell slim cut shirts there by chance? short sleeved ones. i cant find any at reject shop

I use to purchase sleep wear from them last time.. not that bad.. what do you girls think ?

Added on November 18, 2009, 12:59 amthat's not true.

but nowadays fos items are not that reasonable as before alrdy. better go in MJ/jusco shop !

Um, actually, the prices do not increase because of that.. Sometimes you think the items are very expensive it's because the clothes are branded and are from overseas. You can't get them locally. Therefore, the clothes are fixed at a price that aren't as cheap as some other items which are range from RM20-30 it might exceed that. For example, brands like Polo Ralph Lauren, Gap, & Junk Food.. You can purchase them at a cheaper price at their original outlet, but not at a CHEAP price. F.O.S clothes are all value buy, not cheap. So that's something different.

---

Added on December 6, 2009, 11:12 pmI think I have to stop you right there.
What you said is entirely not true.

Since when FOS is supposed to sell entirely cheap stuffs? Who's the one who told you that? I wonder..

Well, I would like to make something clear.
FOS sells stuffs at a VALUABLE price, not CHEAP.
So that's one point.

& did you know that FOS is different from reject shop? Reject shop sells rejected items, while FOS sells items that are from overseas & things that you might not be able to get from here. & that's why, FOS can never be compared to Reject shop stuffs.

---

Added on December 6, 2009, 11:16 pmUm, what you said that are not true.

I am in fact one who are quite small in size. I wear clothes from XS-S/00-0.

& do you know wear do I get most of my clothes from?
F.O.S.

Plus, most of my clothes from F.O.S are branded stuff & I normally purchase them from RM20-50. I don't mind paying more for better quality & brand goods.

It's not because you can't find any clothes that fit your size, it's because you didn't take the effort to look out for the clothes in the shop..

That's why you hardly find clothes that fit your sizes.

---

Added on December 6, 2009, 11:23 pmUm, perhaps you might consider the true reason why some simple t-shirts could easily cost up to 30++?

Well, I think I can answer that for you. It's actually because those t-shirts are maybe from a brand that comes from overseas.. & needless to say, the quality of the shirt itself speaks the price.. you can get a lot of stuff from other shops at a very, very cheap price, but have you ever thought before the quality of their clothes? Is it as good as it seems?
EVER CONSIDER THAT before. Hmmm?

---

Added on December 6, 2009, 11:24 pmDo you mind me asking why do you have to boycott FOS?

Is it just because it doesn't sell stuff as cheap as the ones from like you said, The Zone?

---

Added on December 6, 2009, 11:29 pmI think I would like to declare something.

F.O.S does not sell REJECTED item like reject shop. Hence, FOS can never be compared to reject shop.
It's not the same situation, mind you.

There's a biggg difference between Rejected items & non-rejected items.

& btw, the stuff from FOS doesn't mean its directly from factory. Where did you get that kind of silly idea from?
They are mostly imported goods from overseas ie US, UK, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China etc.
Only some in-house brands like TRU, Blue Sand, Banana Moon, Miss Cindy, Penelope, Old School, & so on, are what you call, originated from the factory. While others, it's not. THEY ARE TRULY & ONLY STOCKS FROM OVERSEAS.

---

Added on December 6, 2009, 11:31 pmFor your information, FOS doesn't sell rejected goods. I wonder who was the smarty pants who told you that FOS sells rejected items like reject shop... Hmmm? Just curious:)

---

Added on December 6, 2009, 11:34 pmHaha, it's really funny when you mentioned that.
Did you ever know that some quality of the t-shirts are like that? You wash them once, their shape changes. But after that, it remains the same.

It works just the same as most of your jeans. I supposed you know that already?
& I wonder if you do simply boycott other shops like MNG or Giordano as well when you buy their t-shirts and after the first wash, they change shape too...?

---

Added on December 6, 2009, 11:36 pmWho told you that FOS is expensive & doesn't have quality?

& the worst part is, where did you get the idea from that FOS stuffs are rejected stock?
Do you know that it would be an insult to the suppliers from US, UK, Vietnam, Hong Kong etc when you say that?

em....i buy my hubby leisure pants there, quality quite good ah. Long time never went in d, izzit realy that expensive d????

Not actually expensive,normal price for imported items I will say.But during sales,things can go so worth buying,certain old items are going for buy one free one.
Office wear i dont know,so far im so satisfied with their products like board shorts,polo ts.UnfotunAtely,my area's fos is a small one,nothing compared to those in midvalley and penang.

FOS quality is declining this years.

Oh, mind sharing with us why?

i thought Midvalley's outlet is small XD
Anyone can direct me to another outlet, pls? Midvalley is sometimes too crowded to shop. I only know there's one in MV and sunway pyramid. Is there any outlet at Sg Wang? Planning to shop there tomorrow

FOS not bad wat.
i buy my sleepwear from there and after washing so many times edi it's still good.
i'm xs to s size also but can still get clothes from there.
and yea its not rejected clothes. but sometimes have to be careful cause some clothes have stain or dirt on it.
talking about quality, lots of expensive brands shirts also not that good. even giordano, S size wash edi now i think L size also can wear.

fyi, theres 2 outlet in sgwang, 1 near kfc, the 2nd 1 at 2nd floor

Yea , i agree with you .I always shop at f.o.s and i can see that the clothes there is obviously not rejected goods . Sometimes the quality of some shirt might be bad but i think that the expensive brands shirts there is not bad because i remember once i went to the shop in mid valley and i bought some branded shirts there , the quality seriously not bad , super good , still using it until now .

---

Added on December 28, 2009, 2:37 amErm , yes , there is two outlets in Sg Wang , one is F.o.s Kids and teens and the other one is Factory outlet store .

FOS used to be quite cheap but as time goes by, the price is getting higher and higher...

and also, the quality is not that good anymore (used to favor FOS and Reject shop)

for now, i preferred to buy direct from the wholesaler ( i know some of them because of......)

it is even cheaper... no hassle.. no pushing here and there... =p

I managed to get a few Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) as well as Vans t-shirts from there. I also ALWAYS always always.... get my socks from FOS. Firethorn rocks lol.

Oh yeah, why? Well they're rather cheap compared to Polo RL or other polo brands.

Hahaha...go ahead and boycott FOS. More sizes and colours for me.

I like FOS because they have brands that you just can't get here. Not gonna say what brands just for the heck of it. Although they are rejects, its usually not noticeable and its just as good as the original for a fraction of the price.

Clothes there are low in quality and ugly. I never bought anything from there. Even sales. Cutting no good.

A&F ugly? Lol. Either you're just plain ignorant... or you have no taste :3

Yea , i totally agree with you ! I also always get my socks there , there are many kinds of socks there also .YES ! Firethorn rocks !

Yalar , maybe that person no taste because A&F is really a good brand !Or maybe that person has no fashion sense ??

May i ask where did you buy yr clothes normally , is it in any branded store like CHANEL , GUCCI ,VERSACE , LOUIS VUITON ??? Is all your shirt from a branded store , thats why it is HIGH QUALITY ? If it isn't , please watch what you type , you said that clothes there are low quality and ugly + cutting no good.. Anyway, don't you think it is an insult to those people out there who always shop at FOS? What do you think they'll feel after seeing you typing nonsense like this? Please. Just mind your words. If you don't like FOS, then just keep it to yourself. There's no need to tell the whole world about it. It isn't something very proud afterall. So just, I'm asking, you not to say something like that ever again.

THANK YOU.

last time i work at FOS subang terrible manager nobody in the shop cannot talk to other staff....

i bought a banana republic singlet there, is cheap and nice!!

hehe bought most of my sk8 clothes there. Not very wealthy and the store is pretty affordable. FOS is ok in my book.

I love FOS..but now HSBC no more discount ..sob sob

i love lovee the babies' clothes there! =D

price: relatively low
quality: not bad. pandai2 choose la
cutting: also not bad if you know how to look for the good ones
design: some designs are really cute!

why boycott??

you know slim straight jeans is there for rm70 or not???
if you wanna get that kinda cutting on levis store, it is rm279 per jean you know??
can buy 3 there!

but good also la...that day i manage to grab my waist size because there is only 2 left..
not many people know... good for me also..

i can see fos there sell Polo RL and Lacoste, do not know true or false??
original polo rf rm400++ n Lacoste rm250++,but fos sell rm90++ n rm70++ only...

JessicaTong, do u work for FOS or something? Seems like you're defending the brand on a personal level!

It is a Factory Outlet store and is suppose to sell reject stocks.
So I would think the low price is expectable. Have you been to factory outlets or reject shops overseas before?

I personally haven't seen Lacoste clothes in FOS before.

strongly agree..plus, their price is really absurd and crazy..

Hi there , you might think i'm working for F.O.S but actually i'm not working for them at all . I'm just 14 years old , i'm still a student . Yeah you might think i'm working for them because i kept defending for them right ? But actually i'm not related to them at all . I just want to defend for them , people said really awful things about f.o.s and i really dislike it , not by my personal feelings but it's really too much for those people who wrote awful things . People are just trying to open their business , why stop them from saying such awful comment about their shop . Everybody deserve to have a chance in life , i mean like if they are outside earning their money , then just let them be , why we people here don't give them full support but boycott right ?I know it's kind of weird for saying this but i'm actually just saying what i want to say . Give them a chance , give them your full support . It's a malaysia brand and a homegrown brand right ? It's our own country's brand and we are just taking this brand out and giving it a bad reputation .Doesn't it sounds wrong ?

Sorry for saying this in this forum . I really don't want to say this out but since you don't believe i'm not working for F.O.S . I need to say what i personally think and more . Thank you for spending your time reading this comment or whatever . Just thank you ! Really appreciate if you guys really know what i meant , really , thank you .

i used to think FOS clothings are cheap and i really like most of their t-shirt
but i just came back from uk
i went to FOS and realise they are selling an exact tunic dress that i have at RM33, still cheap though, but i bought it from uk for only 2pound = RM10!! and this is one year later!!
but i guess i will still shop in their shops since is cheaper compare to other shops

Yes I agree,their margin is going higher now i think, but still ok lar, because still a liitle bit cheaper compare to other shop, for now i will buy only when the time got extra discount on promo price else i willing to wait...

I think it's not worth to buy.. Never buy before, just look only

the FOS tee become more and more thin. i wonder why..
seems like not worth to buy

yup, i agree. their t-shirts are just ridiculously thin, its see through, and it will get stretchy and loose after a few washes.

not worth it...i bought them coz the designs were cute, but now looking at the condition of the shirt i think i can only wear them at home.

erm, i dont think it is cheap.
and it is hard to find a bigger size of office wear (girl's)
now i go to branded outlet to buy, it is cheaper and got my size

My best friends and I love FOS too!

We love to shop together and buy the baby-Ts.

Cute, funny & make us look lovely!

My girl friends and I are joining Clean & Clear top best friends contest! Join us

i like to shop at FOS as well. the only thing that bother me is; you have to search the outfit wears by the mannequin the whole store(or u might have to ask the worker) where the hell is the shirts. it will be much easier if they put it next to each other.

Best giler! I juga suka FOS!

And guess what? I've created so many Clean & Clear top best friends albums! Nak menang ni!

Good luck!
