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.

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 July 31, 1995,
     $90,000 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 womens 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 $340,625 and $332,975 for the three months
     ended July 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Consolidated
     net earnings and earnings per share would not have been
     significantly different.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         -------------------------------------------------
                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                -----------------------------------


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

Sales were up 13% for the quarter compared to last year.  The
sales increase was largely due to the recent acquisitions of
Halmode Apparel, Inc. and David Dart, Inc. less sales from the
Home Fashions division which was sold in December of last year.
It is significant to note that the flat sales from businesses in
operation during both years were primarily caused by the
divisions Kellwood consolidated and repositioned and in the
process downsized during the second half of last year -- namely
Melrose, de'corp dresses, California Ivy, AJ Brandon, Crowntuft
and Smart Shirts.  Collectively these divisions represent $66
million or 19% of first quarter sales for the total Company.
Their sales were down $23 million or 26% due largely to our
downsizing and repositioning efforts.  The remaining divisions of
the Company posted an 11% increase in sales on a comparable
basis.

Operating earnings (defined as net sales less cost of products
sold and selling, general and administrative expenses) decreased
$5 million or 21% for the quarter as compared to the same period
last year.  The drop in operating earnings was largely due to the
results posted by the business units that were consolidated and
repositioned during the second half of last year and continued
margin pressure in the apparel industry.

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 1.7 to 1 at July 31, 1995 as compared to
1.9 to 1 at April 30, 1995 and 2.3 to 1 at July 31, 1994.
Accounts receivable have increased from last year as a result of
recent acquisitions and increased sales.  Inventory levels have
also increased but on a days on hand basis remain relatively
consistent with both the prior year and April 30, 1995 inventory
days on hand.

The cash used for investing activities remained relatively
constant between the two first quarter periods but the mix
changed.  In May, 1995 approximately $5 million was used to
purchase an office and warehouse facility for one of Kellwoods
existing business units.  In May 1994 approximately $5 million
was spent by Kellwood to acquire Sierra Designs.

Total debt represents 52% of capitalization at July 31, 1995, as
compared to 47% at April 30, 1995 and 41% at July 31, 1994.  The
increase from year end resulted from additional working capital
needed to fund internal growth.  The increase from July 31, 1994
resulted from additional financing associated with recent
acquisitions.  Kellwood maintains a $120 million fully committed
revolving credit agreement with several financial institutions.
At July 31, 1995, $90 million was available for future
borrowings.

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.

OUTLOOK
- -------

The steps management took last year to strengthen operations and
to improve profitability have been completed for the most part
during the first quarter.  As each subsequent quarter unfolds,
Kellwood increasingly will benefit from these efforts and the
year should finish substantially improved.
