                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



VF Corporation Pension Plan Committee
VF Corporation Tax-Advantaged Plan
  for Salaried Employees

We have audited the accompanying statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits of the VF Corporation Tax-Advantaged Savings Plan for Salaried
Employees for the year ended December 31, 1994.  This financial statement is
the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in
all material respects, the changes in net assets available for benefits of the
VF Corporation Tax-Advantaged Savings Plan for Salaried Employees for the year
ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statement taken as a whole.  The Fund Information in the statement of changes
in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the changes in net assets available for
benefits of each fund.  The Fund Information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the financial statement and, in our opinion,
is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statement taken as a whole.
