    Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost or market.  Cost
is determined primarily by the last-in, first-out method (LIFO).
 The LIFO method results in a better matching of cost and
revenues.  At September 30, 1995, September 24, 1994, and
December 31, 1994, inventories at LIFO were approximately
$6,633,000, $7,177,000 and $5,289,000 lower, respectively, than
they would have been had the first-in, first-out method of
determining cost been used.  The LIFO valuation method had the
effect of decreasing net earnings by $872,000 ($.19 per share)
for the thirty-nine weeks  and $343,000 ($.07 per share) for the
thirteen weeks ended September 30, 1995, and decreasing net
earnings by $1,115,000 ($.24 per share) for the thirty-nine
weeks and $206,000 ($.04 per share) for the thirteen weeks ended
September 24, 1994.

     Included in other current assets are estimated tax refunds
of approximately $413,000 at September 30,1995, $830,000 at
September 24, 1994 and $637,000 at December 31, 1994.           
5.  RESTRUCTURING COSTS
     On July 18, 1995, the Company announced the closings of two
manufacturing facilities which completed the Company's program
of reducing excess domestic production capacity begun three
years ago.  The closing costs related thereto are included in
the statement of operations as Provision for restructuring
costs.  The restructuring reduced the work force by
approximately 400 associates or 25% of total employees.  Plant
closing costs totaled approximately $1,211,000 representing
severance pay, payroll taxes and a noncash charge of $610,000
relating to the write-down of the manufacturing equipment to
estimated realizable value.  
     In the first quarter of 1994, management announced the
closing of a domestic manufacturing plant, which closing was
completed in July, 1994.  The estimated costs of closing this
plant are included in the accompanying statements of operations
as Provision for restructuring costs.  The restructuring reduced
the work force by approximately 200 associates.  The
restructuring costs included approximately $1,434,000 in noncash
charges related to the estimated disposition value of the
facility and manufacturing equipment and approximately $844,000
of severance and related closing costs.  
6.  BANK CREDIT AGREEMENT
     During the quarter, the Company was in violation of certain
provisions of the Bank Credit Agreement relating to the ratio of
interest coverage and for three days, borrowings exceeded the
maximum credit available, which the Banks have agreed to waive.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS

      The following discussion and analysis of the condensed
consolidated results of operations and financial conditions
should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial
statements and related notes to provide additional information
concerning the Company's financial activities and conditions.

Results of Operations

     The Company's major customers have significant
merchandising programs that are formulated based on the lowest
prices available.  In order to compete for this business, the
Company has developed sourcing resources in the Caribbean basin,
as well as, in lesser developed countries throughout the world. 
Contracts are negotiated in $US, which eliminates the exposure
to foreign exchange currency risks.  In addition, the Company
has established minimum profit margins below which the Company
will decline orders.  This has resulted in the discontinuance of
certain low margin, high volume programs sold by the Company in
prior years with the operating support related thereto being
eliminated through restructuring or alternative sourcing.
<TABLE> 
     The following table summarizes the operating data for the
periods indicated:

    THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AS COMPARED TO THE
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 24, 1994

     Net sales increased by 26.2% during the period as a result
of an 11.5% increase in dozens shipped, together with a 13.2%
increase in average selling prices.  Average selling prices were
impacted by the increase in sales volume of the "Nautica for
Boys" line of branded apparel, which represented 9.2% of sales
volume but only 3.2% of the units shipped.
                                                                
     I-7

     While selling, general and administrative expenses were
lower as a percent of sales due to the increase in sales volume,
they were higher in terms of absolute dollars primarily because
of the royalty fees related to the sales of the "Nautica for
Boys" and "Rawlings" lines of branded apparel. 
     Interest expense increased due to the higher level of
borrowing required to finance higher inventory levels and
increased accounts receivable.
     The effective tax rate during the period was higher due to
the loss of tax-loss carryforward credits related to the plants
that were closed.

     THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AS COMPARED TO
THE THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED SEPTEMBER 24, 1994

     Net sales increased by 12.8%. A 16.0% increase in average
selling prices was offset by a 2.7% decrease in units shipped. 
The increase in average selling prices continues to be impacted
by the higher selling prices associated with the "Nautica for
Boys" line of apparel which represented 8.1% of sales volume but
only 3.3% of the units shipped.  Gross margins increased by
15.4% in absolute dollars from the prior period as a result of
the increase in sales volume while margins as a percent of sales
remained relatively constant.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
during the current period primarily due to the royalty expenses
related to the "Rawlings" and "Nautica for Boys" sales volume. 
As a percent of sales, the selling, general and administrative
expenses increased slightly.
     The increase in interest expense was related to the higher
level of borrowing necessary to the finance higher inventory
levels and increased accounts receivable.
     Restructuring costs were lower in 1995 as compared to 1994
because the revaluation reserve associated with the write-down
of the facilities and equipment to the estimated realizable
value accounted for a higher portion of the restructuring charge
in 1994.  The combined employment affected by the restructuring
in both periods was approximately the same..
     The effective tax benefit rate was relatively constant in
both periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources                      

     As of the end of the quarter, bank borrowings totaled
$58,850,000, as compared to $40,500,000 as of September 24, 1994
and $10,685,000 as of December 31, 1994.  The maximum credit
available to the Company during the quarter was $65,000,000,
which amount decreases to $55,000,000 on October 16, 1995, to
$45,000,000 on November 16, 1995 and to $20,000,000 on December
16, 1995.  Interest on borrowings is computed at LIBOR plus 185
basis points, except that for overnight borrowings, interest is
computed based on the banks' prime rate.  The credit provided
under the agreement, together with the cash expected to be
generated from operations, is adequate to meet the company's
short-term financing needs.
    The increased borrowings were used to finance the higher
levels of inventory required to meet the delivery schedules
associated with the significant increased volume of Fall orders,
as  well as the related increase in accounts receivable.
    The Company was in violation of certain provisions of the
Bank Credit Agreement, having not achieved the required interest
expense coverage ratio for the twelve month period ended
September 30, 1995 and borrowings exceeded the maximum credit
available for three business days subsequent to the step-down
date of October 16, 1995.  The banks have agreed to waive both
violations. 
    I-8
     The Company's backlog of orders as of the end of the
current quarter totaled approximately $97,800,000, of which
approximately $60,000,000 is expected to be shipped during the
current fiscal year.  At the end of the third quarter of 1994,
the backlog of orders totaled approximately $93,800,000, of
which approximately $57,500,000 was shipped in the fourth
quarter.
     Investing activities include normal replacements of
machinery and equipment and building improvements.  Expenditures
during the period have been financed from the proceeds of the
sales of certain assets. No major expenditures are planned for
the remainder of 1995.
