The F.O.S (Factory Outlet Store) is a store chain you can find throughout all Malaysia. This shop sells mostly cheap labels. For example you can buy a nice shirt for only a few Euros. Of course you can walk into the Lacoste or Tommy Hilfiger shop in a mall like Suria KLCC and buy your clothes there; the F.O.S. however is much cheaper.
At the F.O.S you can find many well-known labels like Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Abercrombie and Fitch and Paul Frank. The range mainly consists of summer clothing, but every now and then there’s a new batch with ‘warmer clothing’ like sweaters and jackets. The range varies per branch. Sometimes the range in the branches in Kuala Lumpur is totally different from the stores at Penang. Another great plus of F.O.S is that they also have a children’s section, and even a few F.O.S KIDS branches; where you can only buy clothing for babies and children. Great place to buy gifts for friends and family members with kids. Saw brands like GAP Kids and many other international brands.
What is the secret of this success? F.O.S buys clothing directly at the factory, without intervention of importers or other links. They usually purchase products in bulk, whereby they have huge stocks in the shop. That makes it possible to keep the costs low, which you see at the final price. The cheap clothing is 100% original and of good quality. Sometimes the labels of the clothes have been removed. Lots of tourists always worry that only imitation clothing is available in Asia. At the night market you will encounter many fake goods, but not in the F.O.S. F.O.S also sells larger (European) sizes, but you have to look well for it.
Check the website of the customs, to find out if there are any amendments to the regulations. You better wear the clothing beforehand in Malaysia. Don’t take ten of the same T-shirts with the label on with you on board of your plane. The customs consider this as trade. If you do take new clothing with labels still attached to it to your own country, then store the ticket. If you do get checked at the customs, then you can show your ticket. You will have to pay export tax; which usually is a small sum.
Here’s a list of the locations where you can find a Factory Outlet Store in Malaysia. There are over 40 F.O.S branches in total. Look at the floor directories in the shopping malls to find the F.O.S. in that particular mall:

- Fahrenheit88
- Starhill Gallery
- Lot10

Reject Shop
Besides the F.O.S there is another outlet chain in Malaysia, the so-called ‘Reject Shop’. I don’t like these shops that much; the quality of the clothing feels worse compared to the F.O.S During our last trip I also had the strong suspicion that these clothing – in contrary to the F.O.S – are not authentic. This Reject Shop can be useful for simple T-shirts, because you can buy a fine shirt for only a few RM. You can find this outlet shop in almost every shopping mall in Malaysia.
F.O.S has no finally has an official website

Sorry, I will have to disappoint you. F.O.S. only sells the stuff available in stores. Between stores product availability may differ. Some shops even differ in available sizes. If the brand is LANDS’END you might be better off trying to find places where they sell the brand besides F.O.S.
Btw. We are not F.O.S., just a travel website that wrote a piece on F.O.S. 🙂

Hi. They do sell those brands occasionally and branch specific. So not everywhere you will find those brands, only when stock arrives. For example, at FOS Mid Valley they have a section with Tommy Hilfiger shirts/sweaters, but only for men. Same goes for RL shorts and pants, only for men. Sometimes they do have more, sometimes not that much. More importantly, I feel quality is only soso and I even suspect some to be less authentic….

It can be a great option! Factory outlet stores often offer branded clothes at significantly reduced prices. Just make sure to check the quality and any return policies. Sometimes, the selection can be hit or miss, but if you’re looking for good deals on quality brands, it’s worth a visit!

Life becomes much easier and more enjoyable when we find a store that perfectly meets our needs – it saves time, gives us comfort and confidence in our choices. For those who are fond of dancing, it is especially important to have access to quality clothing and accessories, because every detail affects performance and comfort during rehearsals. For example, https://artdeballet.com/ offers everything you need for ballet, combining style and practicality. Dancing has always been associated with elegance and careful choice, and finding a place that understands this is a real find!
