Exhibit 23.1


                          Independent Auditors' Consent

The Board of Directors
Casual Male Corp.

We consent to the inclusion in the report on Form 8-K/A of Designs, Inc. dated
June 14, 2002, of our report dated May 18, 2002, with respect to the
consolidated balance sheets of Casual Male Corp. and subsidaries as of February
2, 2002 and February 3, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years
in the three-years ended February 2, 2002, February 3, 2001 and January 29,
2000.

Our report dated May 18, 2002, contains an explanatory paragraph that states
that most of the assets of the Company have been sold. The Company will continue
operations primarily to liquidate any remaining assets and settle the Company's
remaining liabilities, including liabilities subject to compromise, to the
extent possible. After the settlements have occurred, it is expected that the
Company will cease operations. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
