Stockholders and Board of Directors
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation as of October 27, 1996, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and thirty-
nine week periods ended October 27, 1996 and October 29, 1995, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine week
periods ended October 27, 1996 and October 29, 1995.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will
be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
as of January 28, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein) and in our report dated March 12, 1996, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of January 28, 1996, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not contain all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  Reference should be made to the annual financial
statements, including the footnotes thereto, included in the Company's Annual
Report to Stockholders for the year ended January 28, 1996.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from the estimates.

The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October
27, 1996 and October 29, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of those for a
full fiscal year due, in part, to seasonal factors.  The data contained in
these financial statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end
adjustments; however, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments
(which consist only of normal recurring accruals) have been made to present
fairly the consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.  

Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated
financial statements for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29,
1995 to present that information on a basis consistent with the thirteen and
thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 1996.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are summarized as follows:

                                     October 27,      January 28,
                                        1996             1996   

           Raw materials             $ 13,784          $ 14,194
           Work in process             16,474            13,145
           Finished goods             268,863           249,434

                 Total               $299,121          $276,773

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost for the apparel
segment is determined principally using the last-in, first-out method (LIFO),
except for certain sportswear inventories which are determined using the
first-in, first-out method (FIFO).  Cost for the footwear segment is
determined using FIFO.  Inventories would have been $14,027 and $12,923 higher
than reported at October 27, 1996 and January 28, 1996, respectively, if the
FIFO method of inventory accounting had been used for the entire apparel
business.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
The final determination of cost of sales and inventories under the LIFO method
can only be made at the end of each fiscal year based on inventory cost and
quantities on hand.  Interim LIFO determinations are based on management's 
estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.  Such estimates are
subject to revision at the end of each quarter.  Since estimates of future
inventory levels and costs are subject to external factors, interim financial

ACQUISITION

On February 17, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of the Apparel
Group of Crystal Brands, Inc. (Gant and Izod) for $114,503 in cash, net of
cash acquired, and subject to certain adjustments.  This acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase.  The acquired operations are included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements since February 17, 1995. 

PLANT, STORE CLOSING AND RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

In 1995, the Company adopted and began to implement a plan designed to reduce
costs and realign the product distribution mix primarily within the Company's
apparel segment.  Significant components of the plan included the closure of
three domestic apparel manufacturing facilities before the end of fiscal year
1995 and the closing of approximately 300 less profitable retail outlet
stores.  As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $25,000 and
$2,000 in the third and fourth quarters of 1995, respectively, which the
Company expects to utilize fully by the end of its current fiscal year.  

As part of its ongoing expense and cost reduction initiatives, the Company
continues to evaluate its operating structure.

OTHER

The Company is a party to certain litigation which, in management's judgement
based in part on the opinion of legal counsel, will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Thirteen Weeks Ended October 27, 1996 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended
October 29, 1995                                                              

APPAREL

Net sales of the Company's apparel segment in the third quarter were $291.2
million in 1996 and $343.6 million last year, a decrease of 15.3%.  This
decrease was expected, given the absence of clearance sales associated with
the acquisition of the Apparel Group of Crystal Brands Inc., the planned
elimination of the Company's private label retail formats, the planned
reduction of low margin private label sales at the wholesale level and the
closure of factory outlet stores as part of the Company's continuing strategic
initiative to downsize its factory outlet business.  The effect of these
changes more than offset sales gains made this year in the Company's branded
product lines at the wholesale level.

Gross profit on apparel sales was 31.7% in the third quarter of 1996 compared
to 30.0% last year.  The improvement in gross profit comes largely from the
elimination of certain of the less profitable businesses described above.  

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of apparel sales
in the third quarter was 24.8% in 1996 and 24.0% in 1995.  The increased
expense level is attributable principally to current year start-up costs
associated with the new Gant and Izod outlet stores.

FOOTWEAR

Net sales of the Company's footwear segment were $100.0 million in the third
quarter of 1996 and $104.4 million last year, a decrease of 4.2%.  The
decrease was due principally to the closure of factory outlet stores described
above.

Gross profit on footwear sales was 37.2% in the third quarter of 1996 compared
to 34.6% last year.  The improvement in gross profit results principally from
a significant reduction in promotional selling as footwear enjoyed a strong
back to school season.  

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of footwear sales
in the third quarter was 26.4% in 1996 and 28.2% in 1995.  The decrease in
expenses results from the closure of underperforming factory outlet stores
described above.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense was $6.0 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared
with $6.6 million last year.  

                                      -8-

<PAGE>
INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was estimated at a rate of 28.2% for the third quarter of
1996 compared to last year's rate of 27.4% (before the effect of the non-
recurring restructuring charge).  The tax rates reflect the relationship of
U.S. income taxed at normal rates versus tax exempted income from operations
in Puerto Rico.  

CORPORATE EXPENSES

Corporate expenses were $4.2 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared to
$4.8 million in 1995.  The decrease is due solely to timing.

Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 27, 1996 Compared to Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
October 29, 1995                                                             

APPAREL

Net sales of the Company's apparel segment were $714.7 million in the first
nine months of 1996, a decrease of 11.2% from the prior year's $804.6 million. 
This decrease was expected, given the absence of clearance sales associated
with the acquisition of Crystal Brands, the planned elimination of the
Company's private label retail formats, the planned reduction of low margin
private label sales at the wholesale level and the closure of factory outlet
stores as part of the Company's continuing strategic initiative to downsize
its factory outlet business.  The effect of these changes more than offset
sales gains made this year in the Company's branded product lines at the
wholesale level.

Gross profit on apparel sales was 32.1% in the first nine months of 1996
compared to 31.5% last year.  The improvement in gross profit comes largely
from the elimination of certain of the less profitable businesses described
above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of apparel sales
in the first nine months was 29.1% in 1996 and 28.4% in 1995.  The increased
expense level is attributable principally to current year start-up costs
associated with the new Gant and Izod outlet stores.

FOOTWEAR

Net sales of the Company's footwear segment in the first nine months were
$264.1 million compared to last year's $275.9 million, a decrease of 4.3%. 
The decrease was due principally to the closure of factory outlet stores
described above.

Gross profit on footwear sales was 37.2% in the first nine months of 1996 and
1995.  

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of footwear sales
in the first nine months was 29.3% in 1996 and 30.5% in 1995.  The decrease in
expenses results from the closure of underperforming factory outlet stores
described above.
                                      -9-<PAGE>
INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense was $18.0 million in the first nine months of 1996
compared with $17.3 million last year.  The increase in interest expense is
directly related to the timing of the Gant and Izod acquisition and the
funding of the cash portion of the Company's prior year restructuring
initiatives.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was estimated at a rate of 27.2% for the first nine months
of 1996 compared with last year's rate of 28.3% (before the effect of the non-
recurring restructuring charge).  The tax rates reflect the relationship of
U.S. income taxed at normal rates versus tax exempted income from operations
in Puerto Rico.  

CORPORATE EXPENSES

Corporate expenses were $10.0 million in the first nine months of 1996 and
1995.

SEASONALITY

The Company's business is seasonal, with higher sales and income during its
third and fourth quarters, which coincide with the Company's two peak retail
selling seasons:  the first running from the start of the back to school and
fall selling seasons beginning in August and continuing through September; the
second being the Christmas selling season beginning with the weekend following
Thanksgiving and continuing through the week after Christmas.  

Also contributing to the strength of the third quarter is the high volume of
fall shipments to wholesale customers which are generally more profitable than
spring shipments.  The slower spring selling season at wholesale combined with
retail seasonality make the first quarter particularly weak.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The seasonal nature of the Company's business typically requires the use of
cash to fund a build-up in the Company's inventory in the first half of each
fiscal year.  During the third and fourth quarters, the Company's higher level
of sales tends to reduce its inventory and generate cash from operations.  

Cash provided (used) by operations in the first nine months totalled $10.6
million in 1996 compared with $(101.1) million last year.  The improvement
comes principally from the normalization of working capital requirements in
1996 compared to the increased requirements in 1995 due to the acquisition of
the Apparel Group of Crystal Brands, Inc.  In addition, there is a reduction
in working capital requirements due to the downsizing of the Company's retail
business.

Capital spending was $16.3 million in the first nine months of 1996 as
compared with $25.0 million last year.  The decrease is in line with the
Company's planned capital spending reduction.


                                     -10-
<PAGE>
The Company has a credit agreement which includes a revolving credit facility
under which the Company may, at its option, borrow and repay amounts within
certain limits.  The credit agreement also includes a letter of credit
facility.  The total amount available to the Company under each of the
revolving credit and the letter of credit facility is $250 million provided,
however, that the aggregate maximum amount outstanding at any time under both
facilities is $400 million.  The Company believes that its borrowing capacity
under this facility is adequate for its 1996 peak seasonal needs.  At the end
of the current and prior year's third quarters, the Company estimated that $70
million of the outstanding borrowings under this facility were non-current. 
The Company's long-term debt (net of invested cash) as a percentage of total
capital is 43.5% at the end of the current quarter compared with 45.9% at the
end of last year's third quarter.
