ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         Effective August 13, 2001, I.C. Isaacs & Company L.P. ("Isaacs"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of I.C. Isaacs & Company, Inc. (the "Registrant" and
together with Isaacs, the "Company"), and Congress Financial Corporation
("Congress") entered into the Twenty-third Amendment to Financing Agreements
(the "Twenty-third Amendment"), pursuant to which the Company's asset-based
revolving line of credit with Congress (the "Agreement") was amended to bring
the Company into compliance with its working capital and net worth covenants.
The Company had previously obtained a waiver of such covenants through August
31, 2001. There can be no assurances that the Company will not be in
violation of the working capital and net worth covenants under the Agreement,
as amended, during the remainder of 2001 or thereafter. In consideration of
the Twenty-third Amendment, the Company agreed to pay Congress a fee of
$75,000, which was paid in full by the Company at the time of closing.

         A copy of the Twenty-third Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit
10.90 and is incorporated herein by reference.
