Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets


         On February 27, 1995,  Andover Togs, Inc., a Delaware  corporation (the
"Company"),  acquired  the  inventory,  customer  orders,  trademarks  and other
intellectual  property and certain  machinery and equipment of Dobie Industries,
Inc.,  a New York  corporation  ("Dobie").  The  purchase  price for the  assets
acquired is (i) a cash payment of $3,800,000 (subject to adjustment based upon a
physical inventory); (ii) 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $.10 par
value per share (the "Common Stock");  (iii) a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares
of Common Stock (the  "Warrant"),  (iv)  assumption of Dobie's lease  obligation
with respect to its So.  Boston,  Virginia  facility,  (v) assumption of Dobie's
customer orders and (vi)  contingent  payments equal to 33 1/3% of the Company's
pre-tax  earnings (as defined) for the next five fiscal years up to a maximum of
$4,000,000  and  subject to yearly  maximums.  Dobie may  require the Company to
repurchase  the  100,000  shares of Common  Stock  issued  at the  closing  at a
purchase  price of $5.00 per share  upon the  expiration  of five years from the
closing. The Company and Dobie entered into a registration rights agreement with
respect to the Common  Stock  issued at the closing  and the Common  Stock to be
issued  upon the  exercise  of the  Warrant  which  provides,  at the  Company's
expense,  for one demand  registration  on Form S-3 and  piggyback  registration
rights in any registered  public  offering by the Company of its Common Stock in
which other stockholders participate.

         Dobie was engaged in the business of manufacturing childrens and ladies
apparel.  Dobie filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code
on  February  15,  1995.  The sale of the  specified  assets to the  Company was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court on February 22, 1995. The Company will continue
to use the assets acquired in the Company's business.

         At the closing,  the Company  issued and  delivered  100,000  shares of
Common  Stock and the Warrant and paid an aggregate  of  $3,800,000  as follows:
$3,150,000  was  paid  to a  secured  creditor  of  Dobie  on  Dobie's  account;
$444,965.26  was deposited in escrow with Dobie's  counsel to be held to satisfy
specific  indemnification items of Dobie and $205,034.74 was deposited in escrow
with the  Company's  counsel  pending  final  determination  of the value of the
inventory acquired. Following the closing, the Company and Dobie will agree upon
the value of the  inventory  based  upon a  physical  count and  adjust the cash
portion of the purchase  price.  The  contingent  payments will be paid over the
next five years  following  the end of each fiscal year in an amount equal to 33
1/3%  of  the  Company's  pre-tax  earnings  (as  defined)  up to a  maximum  of
$1,000,000 in each of the first two years, up to a maximum of $2,000,000 in each
of the last three years and up to a maximum of $4,000,000 in the aggregate.

         The cash portion of the purchase price is being paid from the Company's
own funds and from  borrowings  under the Company's  existing  revolving  credit
facilities with Chemical Bank and National Westminster Bank U.S.A.
