     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G relates to shares of the Common Stock,
no par value (the "Shares"), of Farah Incorporated (the "Issuer").  This
Amendment No. 1 supplementally amends the initial statement on Schedule 13G
dated February 13, 1997, filed by the Reporting Persons (the "Initial
Statement").  This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by the Reporting Persons to
report that the Entities (as defined in the Schedule 13G) have disposed of all
of their Shares held for their accounts and, as such, the Reporting Persons may
no longer be deemed the beneficial owners of five percent or more of the
outstanding Shares of the Issuer. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Statement. The Initial
Statement is supplementally amended as follows.

Item 2 (a)  Name of Person Filing:  This statement is being filed by:

            a. Strome-Susskind Investment Management, L.P. ("SSIM")

            b. SSCO, Inc. ("SSCO"); and

            c. Mark E. Strome ("Strome")
 
            collectively the "Reporting Persons".

            SSIM is a Delaware limited partnership and a registered investment
            adviser. SSIM is the sole general partner of and investment adviser
            to two investment limited partnerships that directly owned shares of
            common stock of Farah, Inc. (the "Stock"). SSIM is also the
            investment adviser to one offshore investment corporation that
            directly owned shares of the Stock.

            SSCO is the sole general partner of SSIM. The Mark E. Strome Living
            Trust, dated 01/16/97 (the "Trust") is the controlling shareholder
            of SSCO. Mark E. Strome is the settler and a trustee of the Trust.

            SSIM's beneficial ownership of the Stock was direct because of its
            general partnership interests in the investment limited partnerships
            that directly owned shares of the Stock. SSIM also had direct
            beneficial ownership of the Stock as a result of its discretionary
            authority to buy, sell and vote shares of such Stock for its
            investment advisory clients (i.e., the investment limited
            partnerships and the investment corporation (collectively referred
            to hereinafter as the "Entities")). SSCO's and Strome's beneficial
            ownership were indirect as a result of their ownership of SSIM, and
            was reported solely because Rule 13d-1(a) and (b) promulgated under
            the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires any person
            who is "directly or indirectly" the beneficial owner of more than
            five percent of any equity security of a specific class to file a
            Schedule 13G within the specific time period. The answers on blocks
            6, 8, 9 and 11 on pages 3 and 4 above and in response to item 4 by
            SSCO and Strome are given on the basis of the
<PAGE>
 
                                                           Page 6 of 11

            "indirect" beneficial ownership referred to in such Rule, based on
            the direct beneficial ownership of the Stock by SSIM and the
            relationship of SSCO and Strome to SSIM.

            Information with respect to each Reporting Person is given solely by
            the respective Reporting Person, and no Reporting Person undertakes
            hereby any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such
            information concerning any other Reporting Person.

Item 4.     Ownership:

            Ownership as of December 31, 1997 is incorporated by reference to
            Blocks 5 through 9 and block 11 on pages 2 through 4 above.

Item 5.     Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class:

            If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the
            date hereof, the reporting person[s] ha[ve] ceased to be the
            beneficial owner[s] of more than five percent of the class of
            securities, check the following [X].

            The Reporting Persons have ceased to be the beneficial owners of
            more than five percent of the Shares.

Item 6.     Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person:

            Not Applicable
 
Item 10.    Certification:

            By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and
            belief, the securities referred to above were acquired in the
            ordinary course of business and were not acquired for the purpose of
            and do not have the effect of changing or influencing the control of
            the issuer of such securities and were not acquired in connection
            with or as a participant in any transaction having such purposes or
            effect.

            After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief,
            I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true,
            complete and correct.

                                   Exhibit C

             Identification and Classification of Subsidiary Which
       Acquired Security Being Reported On By the Parent Holding Company


SSIM, a registered investment adviser, acquired "beneficial ownership" of the
securities being reported on as a result of its discretionary authority to
acquire, dispose and (with respect to certain of such securities) vote the
securities being reported on.  Under a series of SEC no-action letters,
including the letter issued to Warren Buffet and Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.
(available December 18, 1987), SSCO and Strome are each considered the
equivalent of a parent holding company of SSIM and are therefore eligible to
report their indirect beneficial ownership in such shares on Schedule 13G.
