	Results of Operations
	-----------------------


NET SALES
Net sales for the first quarter of the 1997 fiscal year, which ended 
August 30, 1996, declined by 8.8% from net sales for the first quarter of the 
previous year.  Men's Shirt Group sales declined by $11,716,000.  The 
increased sales in Polo7 for Boys, Tommy Hilfiger7 Dress Shirts and Tommy 
Hilfiger Golf did not offset declines in private label dress and sport shirts, 
Ely & Walker and the discontinued Savane7 license.  Some of the private label 
decline was due to the Company's wrinkle-free, wet-processing exit and was 
therefore favorable to earnings.  Tailored Clothing sales increased $2,594,000 
with increases in Oscar de la Renta7 and private label.  Men's Slacks sales 
declined slightly.  Ongoing Womenswear sales declined $3,142,000 with a 
further decline of $3,964,000 due to last year's divestiture (B.J. Designs) 
and closure (RENNY).

The Company experienced an overall net sales unit volume decrease of 
approximately 17.5% and an overall 10.2% increase in the average net sales 
price per unit.  The increase in the average sales price per unit was due to 
increased sales in the Company's higher margin lines, and decreased sales in  
private label, lower margin lines.

COST OF GOODS SOLD
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales, was 81.7% in the first 
quarter of the current year as compared to 83.0% in the first quarter of the 
prior year.  The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales 
was due in part to the increased sales of higher margin lines.  Another factor 
contributing to the decreased percentage was a 30% reduction in the Company's 
domestic production capacity and a 35% increase in the Company's offshore 
production capacity from the same period in the prior year.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding the 
environmental charge in the first quarter of the prior year) declined by 
$632,000 to $24,686,000 or 14.3% of net sales in the first quarter of the 
current year from $25,318,000 or 13.4% of net sales in the first quarter of 
the prior year.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses 
are predominantly the result of last year's divestiture (B.J Designs) and  
closure (RENNY).

INTEREST EXPENSE
Net interest expense declined by $745,000 to $1,096,000 or 0.6% of net 
sales in the first quarter of the current year from $1,841,000 or 1.0% of net 
sales in the first quarter of the prior year.  The reduction in interest 
expense was due primarily to the reduced inventory from the prior year.

INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate was 40.0% in the first quarter of the 
current year and 40.1% in the first quarter of the previous year and does not 
differ significantly from the Company's statutory rate.

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
The Company views the improvement in apparel sales at retail in August 
as encouraging, however the Company expects the continuation of highly 
competitive market conditions at wholesale and retail.  The Company expects 
sales in the second quarter to be approximately even with last year and sales 
for the year to be equal to or slightly higher than the last fiscal year.  The 
Company expects improved profitability to continue throughout the remainder of 
the year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Operating activities used $22,891,000 during the first quarter of the 
current year and used $17,172,000 in the first quarter of the prior year.  The 
primary factors contributing to this increased use of funds were decreased 
inventory offset by increased net earnings and a smaller decrease in trade 
payables from the prior year.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Investing activities used $873,000 in the current quarter and used 
$11,988,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior year.  The primary factors 
contributing to this change were the acquisition of Ely & Walker in the first 
quarter of the prior year and the completion of several facility expansions 
which were in progress in the first quarter of the prior year.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Financing activities generated $26,606,000 in the current period and 
$37,209,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.  The primary factor 
contributing to this decrease was decreased short-term borrowings, due to the 
operating and investing activities described above.

The Company purchased and retired 100,000 shares of its common stock 
during the three months ended August 30, 1996.  During the period after the 
end of the first quarter through October 7, 1996, no shares have been 
purchased and retired.  Due to the exercise of employee stock options a net of 
1,400 shares of the Company's common stock were issued during the quarter 
ended August 30, 1996 and 1,240 shares were issued since August 30, 1996 
through October 7, 1996.

On October 7, 1996 the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash 
dividend of $.20 per share payable November 30, 1996 to shareholders of record 
on November 15, 1996.

WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital decreased from $141,226,000 at the end of the first 
quarter of the prior year to $137,337,000 at the end of the 1996 fiscal year 
and increased to $138,155,000 at the end of the first quarter of the current 
fiscal year.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.9 at 
the end of the first quarter of the prior year, 2.4 at the end of the prior 
fiscal year, and 2.1 at the end of the first quarter of the current year.



FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company believes it has the ability to generate cash and/or has 
available borrowing capacity to meet its foreseeable needs.  The sources of 
funds primarily include funds provided by operations and both short and long-
term borrowings.  The uses of funds primarily include working capital 
requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and repayment of 
long-term debt.  The Company regularly utilizes committed bank lines of credit 
and other uncommitted bank resources to meet working capital requirements.  On 
August 30, 1996, the Company had available for its use lines of credit with 
several lenders aggregating $50,000,000.  The Company has agreed to pay 
commitment fees for these available lines of credit.  At  August 30, 1996, 
$45,000,000 was in use under these lines.  Of the $45,000,000, $40,000,000 is 
long-term.  In addition, the Company has $188,000,000 in uncommitted lines of 
credit, of which $98,000,000 is reserved exclusively for letters of credit.  
The Company pays no commitment fees for these available lines of credit.  At 
August 30, 1996, $51,000,000 was in use under these lines of credit.  Maximum 
borrowings from all these sources during the first three months of the current 
year were $96,000,000 of which $56,000,000 was short-term.  The Company 
anticipates continued use and availability of both committed and uncommitted  
resources as working capital needs may require.

The Company considers possible acquisitions of apparel-related 
businesses that are compatible with its long-term strategies.  There are no 
present plans to sell securities or enter into off-balance sheet financing 
arrangements.
