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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

               THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MAY 3, 1996 COMPARED
               WITH THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED APRIL 28, 1995

    Net sales increased from $93.7 million for the
thirteen weeks ended April 28, 1995 to $97.6 million
(4.2%) for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 1996.  The
sales increase was primarily in the men's underwear
division, although sales of discontinued products were
higher in the current quarter as the Company began
implementing its business restructuring plan.

    The gross profit margin decreased for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 to 13.0% from 18.0% for the
comparable period last year.  The decrease in gross
profit margin is largely due to selling a higher
proportion of discontinued goods this year which have
comparatively lower gross profit margins than ongoing
products.  Excluding sales of discontinued goods, the
first quarter gross profit was 16.5%.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses for the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 decreased to $8.3 million
from $10.0 million (16.9%) last year due primarily to
lower staffing levels and employee-related costs
resulting from the implementation of the restructuring
plan.

    Operating profit decreased to $4.3 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $6.8 million (36.2%)
for the comparable period last year primarily due to
lower gross profit margins.

    Interest expense for the thirteen weeks ended May 3,
1996 of $6.6 million was slightly below the $6.7 million
incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Lower
average debt levels (resulting from lower inventories
partially offset by higher average receivables) were
subject to higher interest rates in the current quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's existing bank credit agreement, which
was negotiated in December 1992, is a six year revolving
credit facility of up to $65 million and a $125 million
six year term facility, payable in twenty-four quarterly
installments.  Interest rates under this agreement are
either 1.5% over prime or 2.5% over a Eurodollar rate.

    At May 3, 1996, the Company was not, and currently
is not, in compliance with certain financial covenants
under its bank credit agreement, and does not anticipate
that it will be in compliance with these financial
covenants in the foreseeable future.

    Additionally, the Company has not made the principal
payments due January 31, 1996 and April 30, 1996, under
the agreement.  The Company has obtained a series of
waivers, most recently for the period from March 31,
1996 to and including July 1, 1996, that provide for
restricted availability under its revolving credit
facility, the computation and payment of interest with
respect to a prime based rate, a cash collateral
arrangement, the delay in payment of the principal
payments due January 31, 1996 and April 30, 1996 to the
end of the waiver period, restriction on the payment of
interest on the Company's 11.125% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2002 for the payments due December 15, 1995
(which has not been paid) and June 15, 1996, and
additional covenants regarding asset sales, earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
levels, and capital expenditures.  Under the terms of
the waiver, the Company had availability under the
revolving credit facility of $17.9 million at June 14,
1996.

    The Company is in default on the Notes due to its
failure to make the interest payment due December 15,
1995.  The Company anticipates that it will be unable to
pay the interest due on June 15, 1996.  The Company has
reached an agreement in principle with an unofficial
committee representing certain holders ("Noteholders")
of the Notes.  The agreement in principle provides for
the exchange of all of the outstanding Notes for 100% of
the common stock of the Company.  The conversion would
be effected under either a voluntary prepackaged or pre-
negotiated plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code (the "Plan") under which the
Company's trade creditors would be unimpaired.
Following the effective date of such plan, the Board of
Directors of the Company would initially consist of
seven (7) directors, one of whom would be the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, one of whom would be
designated by affiliates of Butler Capital Corporation
who currently hold approximately $25 million principal
amount of Notes and five (5) of whom would be chosen by
non-affiliated Noteholders.  The Plan will provide that
upon the effectiveness of the Plan, the Company, its
parent company, and the shareholders of its parent
company, and their respective officers, directors,
employees, subsidiaries and certain other persons to be
specified in the Plan will receive releases on terms to
be specified in the Plan.  The proposed reorganization
of the Company will be subject to a number of
conditions, including an amended bank credit agreement,
the preparation of definitive documentation, the
completion of approval of the plan of reorganization by
two thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half in
number of the Noteholders who vote on such plan and
bankruptcy court approval of the plan of reorganization.
Subject to the foregoing, the Company anticipates that
the proposed reorganization will be effected during the
second or third quarter of fiscal 1997.
