     (Exchange Act File No. 1-8501) with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission are incorporated herein by reference and made a part

               (a)  The contents of Registration Statement No. 33-

               (b)  The description of the Registrant s rights to
     purchase preferred stock contained in the Registrant's
     registration statement on Form 8-A dated January 23, 1996.

               All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to
     Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
     of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), after the date of this
     Registration Statement and prior to the termination of the
     offering of the securities offered hereby shall be deemed to be
     incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference and to
     be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.  Any
     statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be
     incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified
     or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the
     extent that a statement contained herein or in any other
     subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be
     incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such

     not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute

     Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

          The validity of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock,
     and the rights in connection therewith, offered hereby will be
     passed upon for the Registrant by Mary D. Allen, Executive Vice
     President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Registrant.  Mrs.
     Allen holds options covering 80,000 shares of Common Stock.

     Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

          The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the
     "GCL") and Article EIGHTH of the Registrant s Restated
     Certificate of Incorporation provide for the indemnification of
     any person who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to any
     action because such person is or was a director, officer,
     employee or agent of the Registrant, or served another enterprise
     at the request of the Registrant, against reasonable expenses
     (including attorneys' fees) and, except as to an action by or in
     the right of the Registrant whereby such person is found liable
     to the Registrant, judgments, fines and reasonable settlement
     payments in connection with such actions.

          The Bylaws of the Registrant provide for indemnification of
     its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the
     GCL.  The Registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements
     (ratified by its stockholders) with each member of its Board of
     Directors to provide them with specific contractual assurance of
     indemnification, rights to advance reimbursement of related
     expenses and certain other protections not specifically provided
     under Delaware law.  Directors' rights under the Indemnification
     Agreements are not exclusive of other rights they have under the
     Registrant's Bylaws or Restated Certificate of Incorporation or
     under Delaware law.

          The GCL authorizes the purchase of indemnification insurance
     by the Registrant.  The Registrant currently maintains a policy
     insuring, subject to certain exceptions, its directors and
     officers and the directors and officers of its subsidiaries
     against liabilities which may be incurred by such persons acting
     in such capacities.

     Item 9.   Undertakings

          (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

               (i)  To file, during any period in which offers or
          sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the
          Registration Statement to include any material information
          with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
          disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
          change to such information in the Registration Statement;

               (ii) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
          under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
          amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
          relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
          of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
          initial bona fide offering thereof; and

               (iii)  To remove from registration by means of post-
          effective amendment any of the securities being registered
          which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

     provided, however, that clauses (i) and (ii) do not apply if the
     Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the
     information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
     by these clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the
     Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
     Registration Statement.

          (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
     purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
     1933, as amended, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
     pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (and where applicable, each
     filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
     Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
     that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
     shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
     the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
     securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
     fide offering thereof.

          (c)  To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus
     to each employee to whom the prospectus is sent or given, a copy
     of the Registrant s latest annual report to stockholders for its
     last fiscal year meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 under the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934, unless such employee otherwise
     has received a copy of such report, in which case the Registrant
     shall state in the prospectus that it will promptly furnish,
     without charge, a copy of such report on written request of the
     employee.  If the last fiscal year of the Registrant has ended
     within 120 days prior to the use of the prospectus, the annual
     report of the Registrant for the preceding fiscal year may be so
     delivered, but within such 120 days period the annual report for
     the last fiscal year will be furnished to each such employee.

          (d)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
     under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
     officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
     the provisions described in Item 6 above, or otherwise, the
     Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
     and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
     policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is,
     therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
     indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
     by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
     officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
     defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
     director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
     securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the
     opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
     precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
     question whether such indemnification by it is against public
     policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
     governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


                                 SIGNATURES

          Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
     as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable
     grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for
     filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 and has duly caused
     this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the
     undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Chicago,
     State of Illinois, on the 24th day of September, 1996.

                 LEGAL OPINION AND CONSENT OF MARY D. ALLEN

                                             September 24, 1996

        Hartmarx Corporation
        101 North Wacker Drive
        Chicago, Illinois 60606

        Gentlemen:

               I am Executive Vice President, General Counsel and
        Secretary  of Hartmarx Corporation ( Hartmarx ), and acting
        in such capacity, in connection with the registration under
        the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 100,000 shares of
        its common stock, $2.50 par value (the  Shares ), and the
        stock purchase rights (the  Rights ) attached to the Shares,
        for offering pursuant to the 1995 Incentive Stock Plan (the
         Plan ), I have examined the Restated Certificate of
        Incorporation and Bylaws of Hartmarx, each as amended to
        date, the Rights Agreement dated as of December 6, 1995,
        between Hartmarx and First Chicago Trust Company of New
        York, as Rights Agent, the Plan, Registration Statement on
        Form S-8, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
        on April 17, 1995, the subject Post Effective Amendment No.
        1, and such other original and photostatic copies of
        documents, records and instruments, including minutes of
        meetings of the Board of Directors of Hartmarx and
        Stockholders of Hartmarx, respectively, as I have deemed
        necessary for the purposes of rendering this opinion.  In
        all of my examinations I have assumed the genuineness of all
        signatures on, and the authenticity of, all documents
        purporting to be originals and the conformity to originals
        of all photostatic copies of documents.

               Based upon the foregoing, relying on the statements
        of facts contained in the documents referred to, it is my
