Mr. Peter Woodward

Chairman of the Board

Hampshire Group, Ltd.

114 West 41^st Street

New York, NY 10036

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Dear Mr. Woodward:

I am a bit taken aback by the lack of a response to my letter dated November 12^th requesting a meeting with the Board to discuss your disappointing financial results.

While I recognize this to be a grey area, in my opinion your radio silence is more a neglect of fiduciary duty than an exercise in business judgment.

As a large owner with a twenty year history of standing up for shareholders, I shall take under consideration what my next initiative should be to put an end to the value destruction in Hampshire Group that I observe.

I am available to discuss this immediately and can be reached directly at 212-760-0134 or at nobus@wynnefieldcapital.com.

Sincerely,

Nelson Obus, Managing Member

Wynnefield Capital Management, LLC
