Jay Jays Factory Outlet

Of all the shops in the Brisbane Airport DFO, I find this one to be amongst one of the consistent performers. The DFO contains stores that seem to suffer peaks and troughs in terms of clothing quality and value for money, though Jay Jays remains relatively immune from this curse.
This is a great store for a guy in his 20s. It’s also useful if you know any quasi-​geeks or just guys who like writing on their t-​shirts. My favourite t-​shirt range at Jay Jays is those of famous cartoon characters, especially cartoons directed at adults (The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy etc.). I was here the weekend before last to buy my brother a t-​shirt, and almost went for a t-​shirt with Bender from Futurama on it but instead chose one with a large arrow pointing downwards and the words, «I’m with the big guy.» I figured at just $ 10 it was a steal for an ironic gift. I was uncertain, but my brother actually wore it outside the house. I was interested in whether people would take it ironically, given the otherwise non-​blokey aspects of my brother’s demeanour, but no one even glanced at his t-​shirt. On the upside, it fits well and the fabric is pretty decent.
On my last visit they had two of these types of t-​shirts for $ 15, and although it was showcased as a «sale» I know from experience these deals are pretty much always running here.
The rest of the stock is casual gear for males and a seemingly smaller offering for women. I’ve never bought women’s clothing from here — some of the clothes are a bit like something you’d see a teenager wear in a movie seconds before her father says there’s no way she’s going out in that thing. In terms of women’s clothing, the fabric is generally flimsy or the print unappealing.
Still, this is a guaranteed gift shop for its male target crowd, and for that alone I’m grateful.
