                                 March 24, 2000


To:        WestPoint Stevens Inc.
           507 West Tenth Street
           West Point, Georgia 31833

           We understand that the Board of Directors of WestPoint Stevens Inc.
("WestPoint") has adopted and approved a plan of recapitalization wherein the
capital stock of WestPoint will be reclassified (the "Plan"). We further
understand that the Plan provides for the Common Stock of WestPoint to be
reclassified into Series B Participating Preferred Stock which is to be redeemed
for $22.00 per share, except for shares of certain stockholders which will be
exchanged for shares of Series A Participating Preferred Stock which will be
reclassified into Common Stock under the Plan. We are currently a WestPoint
stockholder.

           We would like to maintain our equity investment in WestPoint.
Therefore, we request that WestPoint permit us to exchange our shares of Common
Stock for shares of Series A Participating Preferred Stock so that we may
continue as a stockholder after our Series A Participating Preferred Stock is
reclassified into Common Stock upon consummation of the Plan. We understand that
WestPoint will be a private company after the transaction and thus we will be
asked to enter into customary agreements with WestPoint, in which we will
acknowledge and agree that the transfer of our shares will be restricted by
applicable federal and state securities law, and whereby we will grant to
WestPoint a right of first refusal as to any transfer of our shares as long as
WestPoint remains a private company. The other WestPoint stockholders will be
subject to the same restrictions. Further, we understand that WestPoint will
grant us registration rights, information rights and similar customary rights,
as well as grant such rights to WestPoint's other stockholders. We understand
that WestPoint will be relying on our exchange of Common Stock for Series A
Participating Preferred Stock prior to consummation of the Plan in order to
obtain recapitalization accounting treatment, and therefore we agree that we
will hold our shares of Common Stock pending such exchange. Further, we agree to
vote our shares of WestPoint stock in favor of the Plan and all related required
stockholder approvals. We are an "accredited investor" as defined by Regulation
D under the Securities Act of 1933.
