                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1

The accompanying financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of
management include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and
financial position for the applicable period.  Results of operations for any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any other periods
or for the full year.  These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 1998.

Effective December 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" (See Note 5). Also, effective December 1,
1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which requires disclosure
of transactions from non-owner sources which affect shareholders' equity in a
separate financial statement for the period in which they are recognized.
Adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company's reported financial
position, results of operations, cash flows or financial statement disclosures
for the quarter ended February 28, 1999, as these transactions were nominal.


NOTE 2

The calculation of basic earnings per share for each period is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The calculation of
diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock using the treasury stock method.  None of the 2,500,000
authorized preferred shares for Hartmarx Corporation have been issued.


NOTE 3

Long-term debt comprised the following (000's omitted):

inventories, accounts receivable and the intangibles of the Company and its
subsidiaries.  Credit Facility amendments in July 1995, November 1995, January
1996 and October 1997, among other things, resulted in a reduction in the fees,
administrative charges and effective borrowing rates, adjustment or elimination
of certain covenants and the extension of the term from March 1997 to July 2000.
The Notes and Credit Facility contain various restrictive covenants covering
ratios relating to maximum funded debt to EBITDA and minimum fixed charge
coverage, additional debt incurrence, capital expenditures, asset sales,
operating leases, as well as other customary covenants, representations and
warranties, funding conditions and events of default.  The Company was in
compliance with the above noted covenants.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  At February 28, 1999,
November 30, 1998  and February 28, 1998, approximately 46%, 41% and 36% of the
Company's total inventories, respectively, are valued using the last-in, first-
out (LIFO) method representing certain work-in-process and finished goods.  The
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method is used for substantially all raw materials
and the remaining inventories.

During the three months ended February 28, 1999 and 1998, there were no
intergroup sales and there was no change in the basis of measurement of group
earnings or loss.

Operating expenses incurred by the Company in generating sales are charged
against the respective group's sales; indirect operating expenses are allocated
to the groups benefited.  Group results exclude any allocation of general
corporate expense, interest expense or income taxes.

Amounts included in the "adjustment" column for earnings before taxes consist
principally of interest expense and general corporate expenses.  Adjustments of
gross assets are for cash, recoverable and deferred income taxes, corporate
properties, investments and other assets.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

Effective December 1, 1998, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of
The Coppley, Noyes and Randall Limited ("Coppley"), a Canadian based
manufacturer and marketer of men's apparel.  Aggregate consideration associated
with the acquisition, including cash paid at closing, amounts payable in the
future (based upon the completion of a certified audit), and debt assumed is
approximately $11.6 million.

In November 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of the wholesale apparel
business of Pusser's, Ltd. ("Pusser's"), primarily an operator of restaurants,
pubs and retail stores carrying tropical and nautical sportswear apparel as well
as other products marketed under the Pusser's name.  Assets acquired include the
trademarks associated with all apparel products along with inventories related
to the wholesale business.  Amounts paid for the trademarks and inventories
aggregated $2.7 million; additional amounts may be payable in future years based
on revenues or operating earnings associated with the trademarks.

The results of Coppley and Pusser's since the date of their respective
acquisition are included in the accompanying financial statements.

In December 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to
1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock in open market transactions.
Pursuant to this authorization, 610,700 shares were acquired as of February 28,
1999 with the remaining shares purchased in the following month.  An additional
2,000,000 share repurchase authorization was made in March 1999 of which 168,300
shares have been acquired as of April 9, 1999.  The average cost of all shares
acquired to date under both authorizations is $4.68 per share.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

November 30, 1998 to February 28, 1999
- --------------------------------------

Since November 30, 1998, net accounts receivable increased $29.6 million or
22.5% to $160.9 million, reflecting the normal seasonal increase from tailored
clothing shipments in the Men's Apparel Group and approximately $6.7 million
applicable to the Coppley and Pusser's acquisitions.  Inventories of $205.8
million declined $1.8 million or .9% due to seasonal shipments of tailored
clothing in the Men's Apparel Group, partially offset by $6.8 million of
inventories associated with the Coppley and Pusser's acquisitions.  Net
properties increased $.8 million to $51.8 million and included the net
properties of Coppley.  Total debt, including current maturities, increased
$32.0 million to $212.0 million, reflecting normal seasonal working capital
requirements, and represented 50% of total capitalization at February 28, 1999
compared to 46% at November 30, 1998.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
February 28, 1998 to February 28, 1999
- --------------------------------------

Net accounts receivable of $160.9 million increased $4.3 million or 2.7%,
reflecting the acquisition of Coppley and Pusser's, partially offset by lower
sales compared to the prior period.  Inventories of $205.8 million increased
$8.3 million or 4.2%, primarily attributable to the acquisition of Coppley and
Pusser's.  Net properties of $51.8 million increased $5.3 million, reflecting
the acquisition of Coppley and capital additions exceeding depreciation expense.
Total debt of $212.0 million, which includes amounts related to Coppley,
Pusser's and treasury stock purchases, increased $.1 million; debt represented
50% of total capitalization at February 28, 1999 compared to 52% at February 28,
1998.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter 1999 Compared to First Quarter 1998
- -------------------------------------------------

Consolidated sales declined $2.9 million or 1.6% to $176.4 million from $179.3
million in 1998.  In general, first quarter revenues reflected lower orders from
retailers, several of whom experienced comparable store sales declines in Fall
1998 which created a conservative buying environment for Spring 1999.  The
premium priced tailored clothing product lines experienced a small increase,
while the moderate tailored clothing lines declined, reflecting previously
stated plans to reduce revenues in lower profit potential product categories.
Also, temporary shipping delays from recently introduced distribution software
systems caused a shift of certain sportswear deliveries into the second quarter.
First quarter revenues this year included $7.0 million related to the Coppley
and Pusser's acquisitions.  Women's Apparel Group revenues, which represented 7%
and 8% of consolidated sales in 1999 and 1998, respectively, declined
approximately $1.6 million.

The consolidated gross margin percentage to sales was 24.7% compared to 24.6%
last year.  Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $38.0
million in the current period compared to $36.0 million in 1998, and represented
21.6% of sales in 1999 compared to 20.1% of sales in 1998.  The dollar increase
was principally applicable to Coppley and Pusser's, while the increase in the
percentage to sales was primarily attributable to the lower sales.  Licensing
income of $.9 million increased $.5 million compared to the previous period,
primarily attributable to the timing of royalty receipts from licensees.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were $6.5 million in 1999 compared to
$8.5 million last year; EBIT represented 3.7% of sales in 1999 compared to 4.7%
of sales in 1998.  The decline reflected the lower sales and higher operating
expense ratio compared to the prior year.  Interest expense decreased to $4.2
million from $4.5 million last year due to a decline in average borrowing rates.
Consolidated pre-tax earnings were $2.3 million compared to $4.0 million last
year.  After reflecting the applicable tax provision, consolidated earnings were
$1.4 million compared to $2.5 million a year ago.  Basic and diluted earnings
per share were $.04 in 1999 compared to $.07 in 1998.


YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE

The Company is addressing Year 2000 issues for its computer systems, operations
systems, microprocessors and other significant computer-based devices and
applications.  The company initially anticipated that Year 2000 compliance would
be addressed through the purchase and installation of new software ("the
Project"), for which written representation has been received from the
application vendors that such software is Year 2000 compliant.  The Company has
commenced testing of its systems upgrade as part of the Project and no 

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
Year 2000 defects have been noted. Although it was expected that the new systems
and software included in the Project would substantially address Year 2000
issues, the Company and its consultant later concluded that existing systems for
the most part will continue in operation beyond January 1, 2000. The Company is
therefore currently implementing its primary contingency plan, which includes
testing, upgrading and remediating when necessary its existing systems and
software, a process which is expected to be completed by August 1999.
Accordingly, efforts are currently underway to upgrade, enhance and test these
existing systems and software requirements, including compatibility with the
various third-party applications. In this context, Year 2000 compliance is being
addressed, whether relating to new systems that comprise a part of the Project
or with respect to existing management information systems that will continue to
be utilized beyond January 1, 2000.

The Company has also established formal communications with significant
suppliers and customers to determine the extent to which the Company is
vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000
issues.  To date, the Company has surveyed approximately 200 of its customers,
vendors and suppliers.  The customers surveyed accounted for over 67% of 1998
sales and inventory suppliers surveyed represented over 60% of 1998 inventory
purchases.  Additionally, the Company has identified the critical systems
provided by other third party service providers (e.g., financial institutions
and utilities suppliers).  While the Company must necessarily rely to some
extent on the representations of these third parties and their statements or
certifications of compliance to certain government agencies regarding Year 2000
capabilities, the Company is also in various stages of Year 2000 testing and
implementation of the systems and/or upgrades provided by third parties.

The costs to be incurred which relate to ensuring compliance and remediation of
the current systems, which includes both internal costs of existing employees as
well as external contractor and software remediation costs, is estimated to be
approximately $2 million, of which $.4 million has been expensed to date,
including $.2 million in fiscal 1999.  The remaining estimated amount will be
expensed as incurred during the remainder of 1999.

The most reasonably likely worst case scenario is difficult to identify.
However, a reasonable worst case scenario could be a failure by a significant
third party in the Company's supply chain to remediate its Year 2000
deficiencies, which could impair the Company's ability to manufacture products,
process customer orders or ship goods to its customers.  Additionally, failure
by the Company to fully remediate its systems could impair the Company's ability
to take customer orders, manufacture and ship products, invoice customers or
collect payments.

The Company recognizes that issues related to Year 2000 remediation constitute a
known uncertainty and the importance of ensuring its operations will not be
adversely affected by Year 2000 issues.  Its procedures are anticipated to be
effective to identify and manage the risks associated with Year 2000 compliance.
However, there can be no assurance that the process can be completed as
described above or that the remediation process will be fully effective.  The
failure to identify and remediate the Company's systems or the failure of key
third parties who do business with the Company or governmental agencies to
timely remediate their systems that interface with the Company's systems could
result in system failures or errors or business interruptions, which could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial
condition.
