1.   It is the opinion of management that all adjustments necessary for a fair
     presentation of results for the interim periods have been reflected in
     the statements presented.  Such adjustments were normal and recurring in
     nature.

     Accounting policies have been continued without change and are described
     in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies contained in the
     Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareowners.  For additional information
     regarding the Company's financial condition, refer to the footnotes
     accompanying the annual financial statements.  Details in those notes have
     not changed significantly except as a result of normal transactions in the
     interim.

2.   Total inventory consisted of:

4.   Revolving credit agreements dated June 24, 1994, and totalling $120,000
     expire June 22, 1996 ($50,000), and June 24, 1997 ($70,000).  Each
     borrowing under the agreements bears interest at one of several specified
     rates dependent upon several factors including the Company's leverage
     ratio, senior debt rating and the applicable Eurodollar margin.  Facility
     fees can range from .1% to .25% of the committed amount outstanding.  At
     October 31, 1995, the entire $120,000 was available for future
     borrowings.  Covenants are more flexible than those currently existing
     for Kellwood's notes due insurance companies.

5.   On September 30, 1994, all of the capital stock of Halmode Apparel, Inc.,
     a multidivisional women's apparel maker, was purchased for cash.  The
     acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method and,
     accordingly, the results of operations are included in the consolidated
     statement of earnings from the date of acquisition.  Assets acquired and
     liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair market value,
     and the excess costs over net tangible assets are being amortized over
     the estimated useful lives of the related intangible assets.  Had the
     purchase taken place May 1, 1994, unaudited pro forma consolidated net
     sales would have been $425,635 and $405,498 for the three months ended
     October 31, 1995 and 1994, and $766,260 and $738,473 for the six months
     ended October 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Consolidated net
     earnings and earnings per share would not have been significantly
     different.

                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                      -----------------------------------


OPERATING RESULTS
- -----------------

Sales reached record levels for both the quarter and the six month period
ended October 31, 1995.

Sales by Domestic branded operations increased 18% for the quarter and 20%
for the six month period.  The sales increase is principally attributable to
the acquisitions of Halmode and David Dart.  Sales from the branded portfolio
accounted for 72% of Kellwood's total volume for the six months ended
October 31, 1995.  This compares to 68% for the same period last year and
moves the Company closer to achieving its goal of 75% from the branded
sector.  The Domestic branded operations, with their overall higher margins,
contributed significantly to total company earnings.

Sales by Domestic private label operations declined 4% for both the quarter
and the six month period.  Adjusting last year's volume for the Home Fashions
division which was sold in December, 1994, Domestic private label sales were
up 5% for the quarter and 7% for the six month period.  The increases are due
primarily to growth in private label programs with several key customers.
Operating profits in the Domestic private label portfolio were improved as a
result of these successful programs.

Sales by Far East operations, principally of high quality private label
shirts sold to U.S. department stores and premier mail order houses,
increased 21% for the quarter and 6% for the six month period.  The majority
of the second quarter gain resulted from a shifting of sales from the first
quarter as retailers delayed their orders.  However, the Far East operations
also gained market share across a broad range of customers over the six month
period.

The increase in amortization expense results from increased intangible assets
associated with recent acquisitions.  The increase in interest expense
correlates with the increase in average outstanding debt coupled with overall
higher rates.


FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

The current ratio was 1.9 to 1 at October 31, 1995 and April 30, 1995 as
compared to 2.0 to 1 at October 31, 1994.  Accounts receivable have increased
as a result of the increased sales.  Inventory levels are also up from last
October to support increased demand.

Cash used for investing activities was substantially higher last year because
of the acquisition of Halmode Apparel, Inc. in September, 1994.  In October,
1995 the Company received $2.75 million in proceeds from the sale of assets
in Saipan.  The costs of the divestiture are expected to fall within the
provision established in the fourth quarter of last year.

Total debt represents 46% of capitalization at October 31, 1995, as compared
to 47% at April 30, 1995 and 44% at October 31, 1994.  The increase from last
October resulted from increased working capital needed to fund internal
growth.    In June, 1994 Kellwood negotiated a $120 million fully committed
revolving credit agreement.  At October 31, 1995 the entire $120 million was
available for future borrowings.

Cash provided by operations and borrowings under various lines of credit are
the primary sources of liquidity.  The combined operating, cash and equity
position of the Company should continue to provide the capital flexibility
necessary to fund future opportunities as well as to meet existing
obligations.
