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


     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1995 , were
     $143.0 million, an increase of $24.6 million (20.7%) over 1994 third
     quarter sales of $118.4 million.  Consolidated net sales for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1995, were $326.4 million, an increase of  $54.4
     million (20.0%) over the first nine months of 1994 sales of $271.9 million.
     The Company's domestic wholesale business of $83.6 million for the third
     quarter of 1995 was 13.0% more than 1994 third quarter domestic wholesale
     sales of $74.0 million, with a corresponding increase in unit shipments of
     approximately 16.5%.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 1995,
     sales of domestic wholesale product were $201.4 million, a 9.8% increase
     from the comparable period sales in 1995 of $183.5 million, with a
     corresponding increase in unit shipments of approximately 12.9%.  The
     increase in the third quarter and year-to-date domestic wholesale unit
     shipments was a result of a number of factors.  Improved product design
     during 1994 contributed to better `sell-thrus'' and margins for a majority
     of our wholesale customers, and resulted in significantly higher Spring
     1995 (shipped primarily during the Company's first quarter) and Fall Back-
     to-School (shipped primarily during the Company's third quarter) children's
     fashion shipments.  In addition, Company initiatives undertaken during
     1994, and continuing in 1995, resulted in significantly improved shipping
     performance to customers on Spring and Fall Back-to-School orders.

     The Company has recently experienced some difficulties in coordinating the
     transition of its sourcing strategy (which calls for increasing sourcing of
     its product from offshore contractors).  These difficulties have resulted
     in the inability of the Company to make timely deliveries on certain
     holiday orders to its customers.  With a relatively weak apparel market in
     general, the Company is experiencing some order cancellations.  The Company
     currently anticipates that unit shipments in the fourth quarter of 1995
     will exceed the fourth quarter of 1994 by over 5%.  The Company's
     preliminary outlook for 1996 indicates that unit shipments of domestic
     wholesale product will be generally flat as compared with 1995.  Company
     management is in the process of implementing adjustments to its sourcing
     plan and anticipates improved shipping performance in early 1996.

     Company retail sales at its OshKosh B'Gosh branded outlet stores and
     Genuine Kids stores were approximately $45.1 million for the third quarter
     of 1995, a 34.6% increase over 1994 third quarter retail sales of
     approximately $33.5 million.  For the nine month period ended September 30,
     1995, Company retail sales were $93.8 million, a 45.7% increase over the
     first nine months of 1994 retail sales of $64.4 million.  Retail sales
     increases were primarily driven by the opening of an additional forty-six
     retail stores during 1994 and thirty-one store openings during the first
     nine months of 1995.  Comparable store sales for the three and nine month
     periods ended September 30, 1995 were down 1.1% and up 4.3%, respectively.
     The Company anticipates the opening of an additional four stores during the
     remainder of 1995.  The Company anticipates further increases in its retail
     sales through the balance of 1995 as compared to 1994.  Preliminary plans
     for 1996 call for the opening of approximately fourteen new retail stores
     and the closing of eight to ten unprofitable stores.  Accordingly, the
     Company anticipates a slowdown in its retail sales growth rate for 1996 as
     compared to 1995 and 1994.

     The Company's gross profit margin as a percent of sales improved to 33.7%
     in the third quarter of 1995, compared with 29.6% in the third quarter of
     1994.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, gross margin as a
     percent of sales was 32.1% compared to 28.3% for the first nine months of
     1994.  The Company's gross margin improvement for the three and nine month
     periods ended September 30, 1995, was due primarily to both the impact of
     the Company's increased retail sales at higher gross margins along with
     improvement in the domestic wholesale business gross profit margin.  With
     the anticipated growth of the Company's retail business during the
     remainder of 1995, manufacturing capacity reduction initiatives during 1994
     and 1995 combined with increased utilization of contract manufacturing
     resources outside of the United States, the Company anticipates further
     improvement in its gross margins for the fourth quarter of 1995.  The
     Company anticipates that its continued focus on manufacturing capacity
     reduction (including the Company's recently announced closure of its
     Hermitage Springs and McEwen, Tennessee manufacturing facilities currently
     scheduled to be closed in early 1996) should result in continued
     improvement in its gross margins during 1996.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month and nine
     month periods ended September 30, 1995 (excluding the $2.7 million charge
     for plant closures announced in September) increased $5.2 million and $19.2
     million over the three month and nine month periods ended September 30,
     1994, respectively.  These expenses, as a percent of sales, were 22.6% and
     27.3% for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995,
     as compared to 22.9% and 25.7% in the same periods of 1994.  The primary
     reason for increases in the Company's selling, general and administrative
     expenses is the Company's expansion of its retail business.  In addition,
     the Company's continued focus on the expansion of its international
     operations have added to these costs.  During the third quarter of 1995,
     the Company recorded a $2.7 million provision for the closing of its
     Hermitage Springs and McEwen, Tennessee sewing facilities.  As a percent of
     sales, this provision added 1.9% to the Company's third quarter, 1995 total
     selling, general and administrative costs.  Planned expansion of the
     Company's retail business for the remainder of 1995 will result in higher
     selling, general and administrative expenses in relation to its net sales
     for the fourth quarter of 1995 as compared to 1994.
     The Company's other income for the third quarter of 1995 was $.2 million
     higher than the third quarter of 1994.  This increase resulted primarily
     from increased royalty income, net of expenses, from its licensees.  The
     Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months of 1995 and 1994 was
     43.0%.

     During the third quarter of 1995, the Company suspended operation of its
     catalog division which was initiated in 1993.  The Company does not
     anticipate any material adverse impact on its results of operations for the
     remainder of 1995 as a result of the wind-down of this business.
     Anticipated net sales from the catalog operations during 1995 are less than
     $5 million.

     SEASONALITY

     The Company's business is increasingly seasonal, with highest sales and
     income in the third quarter which is the Company's peak retail selling
     season at its retail outlet stores as well as a strong wholesale shipping
     period.  The Company's sales and income are lowest in the second quarter
     because of relatively low wholesale shipments and relatively modest retail
     outlet store sales during this period.  Results of operations for the
     Company's three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995, are not
     necessarily indicative of anticipated quarterly results through the balance
     of the year.

     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
     The Company's financial condition remains strong.  Net working capital at
     September 30, 1995 was $109.9 million, as compared to $102.5 million at the
     end of 1994 and $117.2 million at September 30, 1994.  The Company's
     current ratio was 3.1 to 1 at September 30, 1995 compared to 3.6 to 1 at
     the end of 1994 and 3.9 to 1 at September 30, 1994.
     The Company's accounts receivable at September 30, 1995 of $48.0 million,
     were $4.0 million over the accounts receivable balance of $44.0 million at
     September 30, 1994.  This increase relates directly to the Company's
     increased wholesale shipments during the third quarter of 1995 as compared
     to 1994.  Company inventories were $97 million at September 30, 1995 as
     compared to $96.9 million at September 30, 1994.

     The Company's long-term debt at September 30, 1995 was $17.8 million as
     compared to $13.6 million at September 30, 1994.  This increase results
     from the Company's repurchase of its stock during 1994 and 1995.  At
     September 30, 1995, the Company has completed its 2,150,000 Class A common
     stock repurchase program for approximately $31.8 million. The Company's
     long-term debt as a percentage of total capitalization (long-term debt plus
     shareholders' equity) was 10.7% and 7.7% at September 30, 1995 and 1994,
     respectively.
