Ladies and Gentlemen:

We were previously principal accountants for Ithaca Industries, Inc. and, under
the date of March 27, 1998 we reported on the consolidated financial statements
of Ithaca Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended
January 31, 1998 and February 1, 1997. On August 21, 1998 our appointment as
principal accountants was terminated. We have read Ithaca Industries, Inc.
statements included under Item 4 of its Form 8-K dated August 19, 1998 and we
agree with such statements except that, (i) we are not in a position to agree or
disagree with Ithaca Industries, Inc.'s statement that the change was approved
by the audit committee of the board of directors, (ii) we are not aware of the
existence of a condition required to be reported under item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K, therefore, we are not in a position to agree or disagree with
Ithaca Industries, Inc.'s statements contained in paragraph 3 of item 4 and
(iii) we are not in a position to agree or disagree with Ithaca Industries,
Inc.'s statement that PricewaterhouseCoopers L.L.P. was not engaged regarding
the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction or the type
of audit opinion that might be rendered on Ithaca Industries, Inc.'s
consolidated financial statements.


                                                Very truly yours,


                                                /s/ KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
                                                -------------------------
