NOTES:
(1)  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal   
     recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial information
     have been made. The results of operations for the three months or six
     months ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of results for
     the full year.

(2)  Earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of
     common and common equivalent shares outstanding.  Common equivalent shares
     consist of stock options which have a dilutive effect when applying the
     treasury stock method and are considered when material.  The Company
     intends to adopt Statement of Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
     Share," for the year ended December 31, 1997 and will restate prior period
     earnings per share as required. The adoption of this standard is not
     expected to have a material impact on previously reported earnings per
     share.

(3)  The Company has entered into forward exchange contracts for the purpose of 
     hedging firmly committed inventory purchases with outside vendors.  The
     Company accounts for these contracts under the deferral method. 
     Accordinaly, gains and losses are recorded in inventory when the inventory
     is purchased.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and results of Operations

     Liquidity
     ---------

     The Company's primary source of liquidity is its cash and marketable
     securities which aggregated approximately $40,146,000 at June 30, 1997,
     compared with $31,457,000 at December 31, 1996.  In addition, the Company
     maintains a $7,500,000 bank line of credit and has banker acceptance loan
     facilities to provide funds on a short-term basis when necessary.  The
     Company did not make any borrowings under these facilities during the
     first six months of 1997.

     The Company has historically generated adequate cash flow from operations  
     to meet working capital requirements.  The Company believes that available
     cash and marketable securities, cash provided from operations and
     available borrowing facilities will provide adequate support for the cash
     needs of the business.

     In April, 1997, the Company announced its plan to build a 370,000 square   
     foot building in Glendale, Wisconsin, to house its corporate offices and
     warehouse and distribution facilities.  The building is scheduled to open
     in the fall of 1998. The estimated cost of the building and related
     equipment is $12 million.

     Total net sales decreased $1,416,000 (5%) during the three months ended
     June 30, 1997 compared with the same period in 1996.  Net sales in the
     wholesale division were flat.  Retail net sales decreased 34% from
     $3,518,000 in the second quarter of 1996 to $2,308,000 in the second
     quarter of 1997 as a result of the closing of 13 leased departments in
     1996.  Same store net sales increased 20% from 1996 to 1997 due to
     increased volume.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1997, net sales decreased $1,434,000 
     (2%) as compared with the same period in 1996.  Wholesale sales increased
     $454,000 or 1% from $58,911,000 in 1996 to $59,365,000 in 1997.  This
     increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average selling price
     per pair, attributed to a change in product mix.  Retail net sales
     decreased $1,888,000 (30%) from $6,397,000 in 1996 to $4,509,000 in 1997,
     as a result of the previously discussed store closings.  Same store net
     sales were up 19% as compared with the same period in 1996.

     Gross earnings as a percent of net sales were consistent for the second
     quarter of 1996 and 1997, as well as the six months ended June 30, 1997 at
     27%. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, gross earnings as a percent
     of net sales was 26%, which included a  $600,000 loss reserve for the
     closing of the 13 leased departments in the first quarter of 1996.

     Selling and administrative expenses for the second quarter and six months
     ended June 30 decreased from 1996 to 1997 due to the closing of the retail
     units during 1996.

     On July 21, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 200% stock   
     dividend on the Company's Common Stock, $1.00 par value, and on the
     Company's Class B Common Stock, $1.00 par value, so as to effect a
     three-for-one stock split without a change in par value.  The additional
     shares will be mailed October 1, 1997, to shareholders of record on
     September 2, 1997.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     On July 31, 1997, the Company, along with certain officers and
     directors, was sued by Amanda Kahn, a shareholder, in the United States
     District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (Kahn v. Weyco Group,
     Inc. et al, Case No. 97-824).  The lawsuit alleges that a proposed 1994
     management buy-out breached the defendants' fiduciary duties, that certain
     disclosures violated the securities laws and that Ms. Kahn and her
     attorneys created a common benefit by opposing the proposed buy-out.  Ms.
     Kahn previously sued the Company and certain officers and directors,
     making similar allegations, in two separate lawsuits.  One suit, filed in
     the Circuit Court of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, was dismissed on June 2,
     1995 and the appeal was dismissed on December 29, 1995.  The other lawsuit
     was dismissed by the parties, without prejudice, in August, 1994. The
     Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the allegations and that
     the resolution of this new lawsuit will not have a material effect on the
     consolidated financial statements of the Company.
