Total Company

     Net sales increased 10.0% from the first quarter of the prior
year.  The unit sales increase of 13.6% was slightly offset by a 3.1%
decline in the average selling price per unit.  The decline in the
average selling price per unit was due to product mix.

     Cost of goods sold declined to 81.7% of net sales in the current
quarter from 81.9% in the same period of the prior year.  The improved
gross margin was due to higher initial margins and improvements in
manufacturing operations.

     Selling, general and administrative (S, G and A) increased to
15.00% of net sales in the current year from 13.6% for the comparable
period last year.  The additional expenses of four new marketing
divisions initiated last year, Tommy Hilfiger Women's Golf, Izod Club
Golf, Slates Tailored Clothing and DKNY Kids, were primarily
responsible for the increased S, G and A expense.

     Interest expense was 0.5% of net sales in the prior year and in
the current year.

     The Company's effective tax rate was 38.0% in the prior year and
in the current year and does not differ significantly from the
Company's statutory rates.

                     ============         ==========      =============


Oxford Shirt Group

     Sales for the Oxford Shirt Group increased 0.4% to $61,566,000 in
the current year from $61,305,000 in the prior year.  The unit sales
volume increase of 4.5% was offset by a 3.9% decline in the average
sales price per unit. Three of the four new marketing divisions
established last year are housed in the Shirt Group.  Additional sales
from the new marketing divisions offset declines in existing
divisions, primarily private label dress shirts and sportshirts.
Increased expenses associated with the new marketing divisions,
however, resulted in an 80.4% decline in Earnings Before Interest and
Taxes (EBIT) to $933,000 and were responsible for the Company's
overall earnings decline.

Lanier Clothes

     Lanier Clothes reported first quarter sales of $43,377,000, up
20.7% from last year's total of $35,949,000.  For the group, the unit
sales increase of 39.8% was offset by a 13.7% decline in the average
selling price per unit.  The decline in selling price per unit was due
to product mix.  Increases in sales were achieved in branded and
private label divisions with continued strong growth in Nautica and
Geoffrey Beene.  EBIT for the group increased 21.6% to $2,981,000.
Pricing pressures resulting from the competitive environment at retail
were offset by diligent attention to expense control.

Oxford Slacks Group

     Oxford Slacks posted a first quarter sales increase of 14.6% to
$26,734,000 in the current year from $23,327,000 in the first quarter
of the prior year.  The increase in the average unit selling price of
15.9% was slightly offset by a 1.1% decline in the number of units
shipped.  The increase was driven by growth in the specialty catalog
and mass merchant areas.  Higher gross margins and the leveraging of
operating expenses resulted in a 38.9% increase in EBIT to $1,740,000.







Oxford Womenswear Group

     First quarter net sales for the Oxford Womenswear Group increased
11.5% to $72,627,000 in the current year from $65,117,000 in the prior
year.  The unit volume increase of 18.7% was partially offset by a
6.1% decline in the average selling price per unit.  The decline in
average selling price per unit was due to product mix.  The sales
gains were achieved with mass merchants and direct mail retailers.
Higher initial gross margins and improved manufacturing performance
resulted in a 51.5% increase in first quarter EBIT to $4,014,000.

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

     In light of the difficult retail environment, the Company was
pleased with the first quarter results of three of the operating
groups.  However, the Company was disappointed with the results in the
Shirt Group and has taken action to address the situation.  Subsequent
to quarter-end, the Company announced a reconfiguration for the
operating divisions that make up the Oxford Shirt Group and made a
number of management changes designed to make the group more
responsive and focused.  The expenditures on new marketing initiatives
remain an important part of the Company's strategic plan to increase
the branded component of the business.

     The recent under-plan performance of many of the Company's retail
customers will impact most areas of business in the second quarter.
The Company entered the year with the expectation that first half
sales would be flat and that continues to be the case.  The second
quarter is expected to produce an earnings decline comparable to the
decline experienced in the first quarter.  As was the case last year,
second half results are expected to improve over the first half,
resulting in relatively flat sales and earnings for the full year.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Activities

     Operating activities used $12,576,000 in the first quarter of the
current year and $1,932,000 in the first quarter of the prior year.
The increase in the usage was primarily due to the sum of decreased
earnings, a larger increase in receivables and a smaller decrease in
inventory, offset by a smaller decrease in trade payables than in the
comparable period of the prior year.

Investing Activities

     Investing Activities used $1,319,000 in the first quarter of this
year and $1,268,000 in the same period last year.

Financing Activities

     Financing activities generated $12,960,000 in the first quarter
of the current year and $2,072,000 in the first quarter of the prior
year.  The increase in generated funds was primarily due to increased
short terms borrowings and a decrease in the purchase and retirement
of the Company's common stock.

     On October 2, 2000 the Company's Board of Directors declared a
cash dividend of $0.21 per share, payable on December 2, 2000 to
shareholders of record on November 15, 2000.

     During the quarter, the Company purchased and retired 71,400
shares of the Company's common stock acquired in the open market.





Working Capital

     Working capital increased from $149,981,000 at the end of the
first quarter of the prior year to $162,935,000 at the end of the 2000
fiscal year and increased to $164,039,000 at the end of the first
quarter of the current year.  The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 2.1 at the end of the first quarter of the prior year,
2.3 at the end of the 2000 fiscal year and 2.2 at the end of the first
quarter of the current year.

FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company believes it has the ability to generate cash and/or
has available borrowing capacity to meet its foreseeable needs.  The
sources of funds primarily include funds provided by operations and
both short-term and long-term borrowings.  The uses of funds primarily
include working capital requirements, capital expenditures,
acquisitions, stock repurchases, dividends and repayment of short-term
and long-term debt.  The Company regularly utilizes committed bank
lines of credit and other uncommitted bank resources to meet working
capital requirements.  On September 1, 2000 the Company had available
for its use lines of credit with several lenders aggregating
$52,000,000. The Company has agreed to pay commitment fees for these
available lines of credit.  On September 1, 2000, $52,000,000 was in
use under these lines, of which $40,000,000 was long-term.  In
addition, the Company has $231,500,000 in uncommitted lines of credit,
of which $143,500,000 is reserved exclusively for letters of credit.
The Company pays no commitment fees for these available lines of
credit.  On September 1, 2000, $22,500,000 was in use under these
lines of credit.  Maximum borrowings from all these sources during the
current year were $74,500,000 of which $40,000,000 was long-term.  The
Company anticipates continued use and availability of both committed
and uncommitted resources as working capital needs may require.

     The Company considers possible acquisitions of apparel-related
businesses that are compatible with its long-term strategies.  The
Company's Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase
shares of the Company's common stock on the open market and in
negotiated trades as conditions and opportunities warrant.  There are
no present plans to sell securities (other than through employee stock
option plans and other employee benefits) or enter into off-balance
sheet financing arrangements.
