THE COMPANY
The Warnaco Group, Inc. (the 'Company') is a leading designer, manufacturer
and marketer of a broad line of women's intimate apparel, such as bras, panties,
daywear and sleepwear and men's underwear, dress shirts, sportswear, accessories
and small leather goods. The Company's internationally recognized intimate
apparel brands include Warner's'r', Olga'r', Calvin Klein'r', Valentino
Intimo'r', Scaasi'r', Blanche'r', Van Raalte'r', White Stag'r' and Fruit of the
Loom'r'. Building on the strength of its brand names and reputation for fit and
quality, the Company has developed a significant level of repeat business and a
high degree of consumer loyalty. The Company is the leading marketer of intimate
apparel to department and specialty stores in the United States, accounting for
approximately 30% market share in bra sales over the last three years, nearly
twice its nearest competitor. In the mass merchandise segment, the Company has
built its Fruit of the Loom brand to an approximately 7% market share in bra
sales in the last two years. In March 1994, the Company acquired the worldwide
trademarks, rights and business of Calvin Klein men's underwear and, effective
January 1, 1995, the worldwide trademarks and rights for Calvin Klein women's
intimate apparel. In addition, the Company entered into a license agreement to
produce men's accessories and small leather goods under the Calvin Klein brand.
The growth potential of the Calvin Klein brand is reflected in the Company's
financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 1995, in which net revenues
for Calvin Klein men's underwear and women's intimate apparel more than doubled
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1994. In addition to Calvin Klein, the
Company's menswear brand names include Chaps by Ralph Lauren'r', Hathaway'r' and
Catalina'r'. The Company operates 53 retail outlet stores. The Intimate Apparel,
Menswear and Retail Outlet Stores divisions accounted for 75%, 20% and 5%,
respectively, of net revenues for the first six months of fiscal 1995.
The Company seeks to continue its growth strategy by capitalizing on its
highly recognized brand names worldwide while broadening its channels of
distribution and improving manufacturing efficiencies and cost controls. The key
elements of this growth strategy are:
Implement Brand Strategies to Broaden Channels of Distribution. The
Company has expanded its distribution beyond its traditional base of
department and specialty stores in the United States by (i) entering into a
license agreement with Fruit of the Loom, Inc. to distribute
moderately-priced bras, daywear and other related items through mass
merchandisers, (ii) signing an agreement with Avon Products, Inc. to
distribute Warner's and Fruit of the Loom bras on an exclusive basis and
Scaasi sleepwear throughout the United States, (iii) licensing the White
Stag and Catalina brand names to Wal-Mart on a non-exclusive basis and (iv)
developing a new line of intimate apparel under the recently acquired Van
Raalte trademark for sale in Sears stores beginning in August 1995. The
success of these strategies is reflected in the growth in Fruit of the Loom
net revenues, which increased over 95% to $64.3 million in fiscal 1994 from
fiscal 1993, and the successful launch of the Company's products through
Avon, which generated net revenues of over $50 million in fiscal 1994.
Within the department and specialty stores, the Company expects to increase
the presence of Calvin Klein by enhancing floor space and fixturing and
increasing the number of locations in which Calvin Klein women's intimate
apparel is offered from approximately 600 stores currently to approximately
900 stores by the end of fiscal 1995, and may eventually include up to
1,500 locations.
Expand Worldwide Brand Presence. The Company has increased the
presence of its products in international markets by (i) converting the
Calvin Klein businesses in Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other
countries from licensing arrangements to direct sales in order to achieve
greater consistency in execution and to increase revenue growth and
profitability, (ii) marketing the Warner's brand directly in Spain,
Portugal, Italy and other countries, (iii) beginning to market the
Company's products through an exclusive joint venture with News Corporation
Limited's Satellite Television Asian Region Network ('STAR') in Asia and
the Middle East in late 1995 and (iv) extending the Valentino Intimo
intimate apparel license to a worldwide agreement.

<PAGE>
Improve Manufacturing Efficiencies and Cost Controls. The Company
believes that its U.S. manufacturing expertise, in addition to its expanded
Mexican and Central American manufacturing facilities, have allowed the
Company to become one of the low cost producers of intimate apparel,
worldwide. The Company expects to achieve increased efficiencies from its
manufacturing facilities and benefit from economies of scale as its
business continues to grow. Manufacturing efficiencies achieved from these
facilities have contributed significantly to an improvement in the
Company's gross margin from 31.8% for the first six months of fiscal 1994
to 33.3% for the first six months of fiscal 1995.
As a result of the ongoing implementation of these strategies, the Company
has increased net revenues to $788.8 million in fiscal 1994 from $548.1 million
in fiscal 1990. The increase in net revenues is primarily the result of the 16%
compounded annual growth rate of the Intimate Apparel Division. In the first six
months of fiscal 1995, net revenues increased 20% to $405.6 million compared to
the comparable fiscal 1994 period, driven by the Intimate Apparel Division's 27%
increase in net revenues. Income before non-recurring items, interest and income
taxes has increased to $99.2 million in fiscal 1994 from $59.9 million in fiscal
1990. Income before non-recurring items, interest and income taxes increased
over 30% to $49.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 1995 from $38.3
million in the comparable fiscal 1994 period.
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 90 Park
Avenue, New York, New York 10016, telephone (212) 661-1300.

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should consider carefully the following factors, in
addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, before
purchasing the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.
RETAIL INDUSTRY
The apparel industry is highly competitive and the Company's competitors
include manufacturers of all sizes, some of which have greater resources than
the Company. In addition, the apparel industry historically has been subject to
cyclical variation, and a downturn in the general economy or uncertainties
regarding future economic prospects that affect consumer spending habits could
have a material effect on the Company's results of operations. Over the past
several years, the Company has broadened its channels of distribution to
decrease its dependence on any one retail channel and no single customer
accounted for more than 8.5% of the Company's net revenues in fiscal 1994. See
'Business.'
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company believes that it has benefited substantially from the
leadership of Linda J. Wachner, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer and that the loss of her services could have a significant
impact on the Company's business and its future operations. In May 1991, the
Company entered into an employment agreement with Mrs. Wachner which is
presently in effect until May 2001.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
A substantial number of shares of Common Stock could be sold in the public
market following the completion of the Offerings. No predictions can be made as
to the effect, if any, that market sales of such shares or the availability of
such shares for future sale will have on the market price of shares of Common
Stock prevailing from time to time. There will be 49,899,912 shares of Common
Stock outstanding after the Offerings. Of such amount, 44,520,814 of such shares
will be tradeable without restriction and 5,379,098 of such shares may only be
sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act, including
Rule 144 and Rule 144A thereunder, or the Company's Amended and Restated 1993
Stock Plan. However, certain officers and directors of the Company, including
the Selling Stockholder, who will hold an aggregate of 4,735,600 shares after
giving effect to the Offerings, have agreed with the Underwriters not to sell or
otherwise dispose of such shares for 90 days after the date of this Prospectus
without the prior consent of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
('Merrill Lynch') on behalf of the Underwriters. See 'Underwriting.'

(Footnotes from preceding page)
(a) On September 4, 1991, the Company's Board of Directors determined that the
Company should restructure its knitwear operations. The restructuring
resulted in a non-recurring charge of approximately $13 million (or $0.68
per share) in fiscal 1991. Such charge was associated with the closing of
the Company's knitwear manufacturing facilities and the liquidation of
related inventory. In October 1993, the Company decided to discontinue a
portion of its men's manufactured dress shirt and neckwear business
segment. This resulted in a non-recurring charge of $19.9 million. Also,
the Company incurred a $2.6 million non-recurring charge associated with a
previously discontinued business. The total non-recurring charge recorded
in fiscal 1993 was $22.5 million (or $0.56 per share). In fiscal 1994, the
Company incurred a $3 million (or $0.07 per share) charge related to the
California earthquake.
(b) Fiscal 1993 includes a $10.5 million charge (or $0.26 per share) for the
cumulative effect of the Company changing its method of accounting for
postretirement benefits other than pensions.
(c) All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the
two-for-one stock split effective October 3, 1994 and includes all Common
Stock and Common Stock equivalents.
(d) Income reflects the benefits of utilizing the Company's net operating loss
carryforward to offset the Company's federal income tax provision. Income
before non-recurring items, after giving effect to a full tax provision at
the Company's rate of 38%, was $14.0 million (or $0.34 per share).
(e) In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, Warnaco will announce the adoption of
a newly effective accounting pronouncement, Statement of Position 93-7,
dealing with certain types of advertising and promotion costs. The position
statement mandates that such costs, which many companies had previously
deferred for amortization against related future revenues, be currently
expensed. The result of adopting the new standard is that operating results
for fiscal 1995 will absorb both costs incurred and deferred in prior years
plus all costs incurred in fiscal 1995, thus adversely affecting fiscal
1995 earnings when compared to prior and future years. The Company has not
followed deferral accounting to the same extent as many other companies
but, in accordance with industry practice, has previously deferred some
qualified marketing costs when assured that related future revenues would
be achieved. The Company will continue to incur such costs. The full
measure of the excess costs impacting fiscal 1995 results will not be
clearly identified until the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 when current
year costs, which would have been capitalized under the prior policy, are
measured. Such amount will be separately identified in the Company's annual
financial statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of 7,500,000 shares of Common
Stock by the Company in the Offerings, after deducting the underwriting discount
and estimated expenses payable by the Company, are expected to be approximately
$153,300,000 (approximately $173,900,000 if the over-allotment options granted
by the Company to the Underwriters are exercised in full). The Company intends
to use such net proceeds to reduce bank debt under the Bank Credit Agreement, as
amended, between the Company and certain lenders (the 'Bank Credit Agreement').
Additional funds available under the revolving credit portion of the Bank Credit
Agreement (the 'Revolving Facility') may be used for strategic acquisitions, as
well as working capital and other corporate purposes. The aggregate amount of
indebtedness outstanding under the Bank Credit Agreement was approximately
$438,000,000 on August 17, 1995. The Bank Credit Agreement has a maturity date
of December 31, 1999 and, on August 17, 1995, the weighted average interest rate
on borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement was approximately 6.4%. The
Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common
Stock by the Selling Stockholder. The Company and the Selling Stockholder have
agreed to share certain expenses incurred in connection with the Offerings.

DIVIDEND POLICY
On June 30, 1995 the Company paid its initial dividend of $0.07 per share
of Common Stock to stockholders of record as of May 30, 1995. It is the
Company's present intent to continue paying quarterly dividends; however, the
payment of future dividends necessarily depends upon earnings, capital
requirements, financial conditions and other factors. The terms of the Bank
Credit Agreement permit the Company to pay dividends, based on the Company's
present implied senior debt rating, equal to 25% of the Company's net earnings
accumulated since fiscal 1992 through the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year
in which the dividend is being paid. The approximate amount of net earnings
available for payment of dividends as of July 8, 1995 was $84,505,000.

BUSINESS
The Company designs, manufactures and markets a broad line of women's
intimate apparel and men's apparel and accessories sold under a variety of
internationally recognized owned and licensed brand names. The Company operates
three divisions, Intimate Apparel, Menswear and Retail Outlet Stores, which
accounted for 75%, 20% and 5%, respectively, of net revenues in the first six
months of fiscal 1995.
The Company's products are distributed to over 5,000 customers operating
more than 15,000 department, specialty and mass merchandise stores, including
such leading retailers in the United States as Dayton-Hudson, Dillard's
Department Stores, Federated Department Stores/Macy's, J.C. Penney, Kmart,
Victoria's Secret, The May Department Stores and Wal-Mart and such leading
retailers in Canada as Eaton's and The Hudson Bay Company. The Company's
products are also distributed to such leading European retailers as Marks &
Spencer, House of Fraser, Harrods, Galeries Lafayette, Au Printemps and El Corte
Ingles.
INTIMATE APPAREL
The Company's Intimate Apparel Division designs, manufactures and markets
women's intimate apparel which includes bras, panties, daywear and sleepwear.
The Company also designs and markets men's underwear. The Company's bra brands
accounted for approximately 30% market share in bra sales over the last three
years in department and specialty stores in the United States, nearly twice its
nearest competitor. The Intimate Apparel Division markets its lines under the
following brand names:
<TABLE>

(a) In March 1994, the Company acquired the worldwide trademarks, rights and
business of Calvin Klein men's underwear and, effective January 1, 1995,
the worldwide trademarks and rights of Calvin Klein women's intimate
apparel.
(b) Shipments to begin in August 1995.
The Company owns the Warner's, Olga, Calvin Klein (men's underwear and
women's intimate apparel), Blanche and Van Raalte brand names and trademarks.
The Company has a license in perpetuity for the White Stag brand for women's
sportswear and intimate apparel. The Company licenses the other brand names
under which it markets its product lines. The Company also manufactures intimate
apparel on a private and exclusive label basis for certain leading specialty and
department stores. The Intimate Apparel Division's net revenues are primarily
generated by sales of the Company's own brand names. The Warner's and Olga
brands are 121 years and 54 years old, respectively, and commanded approximately
30% market share in bra sales over the last three years in department and
specialty stores in the United States. The Company also has a license with Fruit
of the Loom, Inc. for the design, manufacture and marketing of moderately-priced
bras, daywear, full slips, half slips and petticoats as well as coordinated
fashion sets (bras and panties) and certain control bottoms and sleepwear.
In March 1994, the Company acquired the worldwide trademarks, rights and
business of Calvin Klein men's underwear and, effective January 1, 1995, the
worldwide trademarks and rights for Calvin Klein women's intimate apparel. In
addition, the Company entered into a license agreement to produce men's
accessories and small leather goods under the Calvin Klein label. The growth
potential of the Calvin Klein brand is reflected in the Company's financial
results for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 in which net revenues for the
Calvin Klein brand more than doubled compared to the second quarter of fiscal
1994.
11
<PAGE>
The Intimate Apparel Division's net revenues have increased at a 16%
compounded annual growth rate since fiscal 1990 to $565.3 million in fiscal
1994. Intimate Apparel Division net revenues for the first six months of fiscal
1995 increased 27% to $305.4 million from $240.5 million in the comparable
fiscal 1994 period as the Company increased its penetration with existing
accounts, expanded sales to new customers by capitalizing on the growth in such
specialty stores as Victoria's Secret and sales of Fruit of the Loom to mass
merchandisers such as Wal-Mart, Venture and Kmart and broadened its product
lines to include men's underwear. The Intimate Apparel Division has reduced
operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues by narrowing its product
lines, controlling selling, administrative and general expenses and improving
manufacturing efficiency. The Company believes that it is one of the low cost
producers of intimate apparel worldwide. The Intimate Apparel Division produces
over eight million dozen garments per year.
The Company's bras are sold primarily in the department and specialty
stores that have been the Company's traditional customer base for intimate
apparel. In June 1992, the Company expanded into a new channel of distribution,
mass merchandisers, with its Fruit of the Loom product line, which offers a
range of styles designed to meet the needs of the consumer profile of this
market. In late 1993 the Company further expanded its channels of distribution
by signing an agreement with Avon Products, Inc. to distribute Warner's and
Fruit of the Loom bras on an exclusive basis and Scaasi sleepwear throughout the
United States. In August 1995 the Company will begin shipping intimate apparel
to Sears under the Van Raalte label, which was acquired in December 1994. The
Company also sees opportunities for continued growth in the Intimate Apparel
Division for bras specifically designed for the 'full figure' market, as well as
in the panties and daywear product lines.
The Intimate Apparel Division has subsidiaries in Canada, Mexico, the
United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Ireland, Spain and Germany. International sales
accounted for approximately 14.8% of the Intimate Apparel Division's net
revenues in fiscal 1994. Net revenues attributable to the international
divisions of the Intimate Apparel Division were $79.1 million, $84.5 million and
$84.1 million in fiscal years 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. In 1994 the
Company began distributing its products directly in Spain, Portugal and Italy,
having taken back these territories from its previous licensee. For the first
six months of fiscal 1995, international net revenues of the Intimate Apparel
Division have increased 14.6% to $45.4 million from $39.6 million in the first
six months of fiscal 1994.
The Company's intimate apparel products are manufactured principally in the
Company's facilities in North America, Central America, the Caribbean Basin, the
United Kingdom and Ireland.
Although the Intimate Apparel Division generally markets its product lines
for three retail selling seasons (spring, fall and holiday), its sales and
revenues are somewhat seasonal with approximately 57% of net revenues and 58% of
operating income generated during the second half of fiscal 1994.
MENSWEAR
The Company's Menswear Division designs, manufactures, imports and markets
moderate to better-priced dress shirts and neckwear, sportswear and men's
accessories. Management considers the Menswear Division's primary strengths to
include its strong brand recognition, product quality, reputation for fashion
styling, strong relationships with department and specialty stores and its
ability to deliver merchandise rapidly. The Menswear Division markets its lines
under the following brand names:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
BRAND NAME PRICE RANGE TYPE OF APPAREL

sportswear
Catalina............................ moderate men's and women's sportswear,

</TABLE>
------------
(a) See Intimate Apparel Division.
12
<PAGE>
The Hathaway brand name is owned by the Company. The Calvin Klein brand
name for accessories and the Chaps by Ralph Lauren and Catalina brand names are
licensed by the Company.
Due to the strategic decision to discontinue $98.9 million of net revenues
in underperforming brands including Christian Dior accessories, neckwear,
sportswear and dress shirts, Golden Bear by Jack Nicklaus, Pringle and Puritan
menswear, the Menswear Division's net revenues have only decreased from $196.3
million in fiscal 1990 to $183.8 million in fiscal 1994. The negative impact of
these discontinued brands has been partially offset by the success of the Chaps
by Ralph Lauren brand, which has increased its net revenues to $120.9 million in
fiscal 1994 from $28.6 million in fiscal 1990, a compounded annual growth rate
of 43%. Chaps by Ralph Lauren net revenues for the first six months of fiscal
1995 increased 22.5% to $60.5 million. Primarily as a result of the strategic
decision to discontinue these underperforming brands, operating margins in the
Menswear Division have increased 100 basis points to 11.5% in fiscal 1994 from
10.5% in fiscal 1990.
International sales accounted for approximately 6% of net revenues of the
Menswear Division in fiscal 1994. Net revenues attributable to international
divisions of the Menswear Division were $12.7 million, $14.1 million and $10.2
million in fiscal years 1992, 1993 and 1994, respectively. The decrease in
international sales in fiscal 1994 compared to fiscal 1993 reflects the
Company's strategic decision to restructure its men's dress shirt and neckwear
businesses and to terminate its Christian Dior licenses.
The Menswear Division's sportswear is sourced principally from the Far
East. The Menswear Division manufactures its dress shirts in North America and
sources certain styles of dress shirts in the Far East and in Central America.
Accessories are sourced in the United States, Europe and the Far East. Neckwear
is sourced primarily in the United States.
The Menswear Division, like the Intimate Apparel Division, generally
markets its apparel products for three retail selling seasons (spring, fall and
holiday). The Menswear Division introduces new styles, fabrics and colors based
upon consumer preferences, market trends and to coincide with the appropriate
retail selling season. The sales of the Menswear Division's product lines follow
individual seasonal shipping patterns ranging from one season to three seasons,
with multiple releases in some of the Division's more fashion-oriented lines.
Consistent with industry and consumer buying patterns, approximately 56% of the
Menswear Division's net revenues and 67% of the Menswear Division's operating
profit are generated in the second half of the calendar year, reflecting the
strength of the fall and holiday shopping seasons.
RETAIL OUTLET STORES DIVISION
The Company's Retail Outlet Stores Division operates 53 retail outlet
stores, of which 35 carry intimate apparel only, three carry menswear only and
15 carry both lines. The Company's business strategy with respect to its Retail
Outlet Stores Division is to provide a channel for disposing of the Company's
excess and irregular inventory, thereby limiting its exposure to off-price
retailers without increasing the total number of stores to any significant
extent. The Company's retail outlet stores are situated in areas where they
generally do not conflict with the Company's principal channels of distribution.
The Company's newer retail outlet stores are principally intimate apparel stores
located in outlet malls.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
The Company has subsidiaries in Canada and Mexico in North America and in
the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, France, Spain and Germany in Europe which
engage in sales and marketing activities. With the exception of the fluctuation
of local currencies against the United States dollar, the Company does not
believe that the operations in Canada and western Europe are subject to risks
which are significantly different from those of its domestic operations. Mexico
has historically been subject to high rates of inflation and currency
restrictions which may, from time to time, impact the Mexican operation. The
recent devaluation of the Mexican peso has had a favorable impact on the
Company. The Company also sells directly to customers in Mexico, which
represents less than 1% of the Company's total sales. The Company maintains
manufacturing facilities in Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica, the Dominican
Republic, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom and warehousing facilities in
13
<PAGE>
Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and Spain. The majority of the Company's
imported purchases are invoiced in United States dollars and, therefore, are not
subject to short-term currency fluctuations.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES
TO NON-U.S. STOCKHOLDERS
The following is a general discussion of certain United States federal
income and estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of shares of
Common Stock by 'Non-U.S. Holders.' In general, a 'Non-U.S. Holder' is an
individual or entity other than (i) a citizen or resident of the United States;
(ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in the
United States or under the laws of the United States or of any State; or (iii)
an estate or trust, the income of which is includible in gross income for United
States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source. This discussion is
for general information only and does not consider any specific facts or
circumstances that may apply to a particular Non-U.S. Holder. Furthermore, the
following discussion is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the 'Code'), and administrative and judicial
interpretations as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change. EACH
PROSPECTIVE NON-U.S. HOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISER WITH RESPECT
TO THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF OWNING AND
DISPOSING OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING
UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.
DIVIDENDS
In general, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to United
States withholding tax at a 30% rate (or a lower rate prescribed by an
applicable tax treaty) unless the dividends are either (i) effectively connected
with a trade or business carried on by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United
States or (ii) if certain income tax treaties apply, attributable to a United
States permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder. Dividends
effectively connected with such a trade or business or attributable to such a
permanent establishment generally will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax
(if the Non-U.S. Holder timely and properly files certain forms, including
Internal Revenue Service Form 4224, with the payor of the dividend) and
generally will be subject to United States federal income tax on a net income
basis, in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a resident of the
United States. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation may be subject to an
additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be
specified by an applicable treaty) on the repatriation from the United States of
its 'effectively connected earnings and profits,' subject to certain
adjustments. For purposes of the withholding discussed above and in order to
determine the applicability of a tax treaty providing for a lower rate of
withholding, dividends paid to an address in a foreign country are presumed
under current Treasury regulations to be paid to a resident of that country,
absent knowledge to the contrary. However, if Treasury regulations proposed in
1984 are finally adopted, Non-U.S. Holders would be required to file certain
forms to obtain the benefit of any applicable tax treaty providing for a lower
rate of withholding tax on dividends. Such forms would contain the Non-U.S.
Holder's name and address and an official statement by the competent authority
(as designated in the applicable treaty) in the foreign country attesting to the
Non-U.S. Holder's status as a resident thereof.
GAIN ON DISPOSITION
A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal
income tax (and no tax will generally be withheld) on any gain recognized upon
the disposition of Common Stock unless (i) the Company is or has been a 'U.S.
real property holding corporation' for United States federal income tax purposes
(which the Company does not believe that it has been, is or is likely to become)
and the Non-U.S. Holder disposing of the Common Stock owned, directly or
constructively, at any time during the five-year period preceding the
disposition, more than five percent of the Common Stock; (ii) the gain is
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United
States of the Non-U.S. Holder or, if certain tax treaties apply, attributable to
a permanent establishment maintained within the United States by the Non-U.S.
Holder; (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder who is a non-resident alien
individual and who holds shares as a capital asset, such individual is present
in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the
disposition, and either (a) such individual has a
16
<PAGE>
'tax home,' for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the United States, and the
gain from the disposition is not attributable to an office or other fixed place
of business maintained by such individual in a foreign country, or (b) the gain
from the disposition is attributable to an office or fixed place of business
maintained by such individual in the United States; or (iv) the Non-U.S. Holder
is subject to tax pursuant to provisions of the Code applicable to certain
United States expatriates.
FEDERAL ESTATE TAX
Shares of Common Stock owned or treated as owned by an individual who is
not a citizen or resident (as defined for United States federal tax purposes) of
the United States at the time of death will be includible in the individual's
gross estate for United States federal estate tax purposes unless an applicable
estate tax treaty provides otherwise, and therefore may be subject to United
States federal estate tax.
BACKUP WITHHOLDING, INFORMATION RETURN AND INFORMATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The Company must make an information return annually to the Internal
Revenue Service and to each Non-U.S. Holder of the amount of dividends paid to,
and the tax withheld with respect to, each Non-U.S. Holder. These information
return requirements apply regardless of whether withholding was reduced or
eliminated by an applicable tax treaty. Copies of these information returns may
also be made available under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement to
the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is
established.
United States backup withholding (which generally is imposed at the rate of
31% on certain payments to persons who fail to furnish the information required
under the United States information reporting requirements) and information
reporting generally will not apply to dividends that are subject to the 30%
withholding discussed above or are not so subject because a tax treaty applies,
and are paid on Common Stock to a Non-U.S. Holder at an address outside the
United States.
The payment of proceeds from the disposition of Common Stock by a Non-U.S.
Holder to or through the United States office of a broker will be subject to
information reporting and backup withholding at a rate of 31% unless the owner
certifies, among other things, its status as a Non-U.S. Holder under penalties
of perjury or otherwise establishes an exemption. The payment of proceeds from
the disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of Common Stock to or through a non-U.S.
office of a non-U.S. broker will generally not be subject to backup withholding
and information reporting. However, in the case of proceeds from a disposition
of Common Stock paid to or through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is (i) a
United States person, (ii) a 'controlled foreign corporation' for U.S. federal
income tax purposes or (iii) a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income
from all sources for a certain three-year period was effectively connected with
a United States trade or business, (a) backup withholding will not apply unless
such broker has actual knowledge that the owner is not a Non-U.S. Holder, and
(b) information reporting will apply unless the broker has documentary evidence
in its files of the owner's status as a Non-U.S. Holder (and the broker has no
actual knowledge to the contrary) or the owner otherwise establishes an
exemption.
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from payments to a
Non-U.S. Holder will be refunded or credited against the Non-U.S. Holder's
United States federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required
information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
The backup withholding and information reporting rules are currently under
review by the Treasury Department, and their application to the Common Stock is
subject to change.

conditions set forth in the United States Purchase Agreement (the 'U.S. Purchase
Agreement') among the Company, the Selling Stockholder and each of the
Underwriters named below (the 'U.S. Underwriters'), and concurrently with the
sale of 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock to the International Managers (as
defined below), the Company and the Selling Stockholder severally have agreed to
sell to each of the U.S. Underwriters, and each of the U.S. Underwriters
severally has agreed to purchase, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
set forth opposite its name below:

The Company and the Selling Stockholder have also entered into an
International Purchase Agreement (the 'International Purchase Agreement' and,
together with the U.S. Purchase Agreement, the 'Purchase Agreements') with
Merrill Lynch International Limited, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation, Bear, Stearns International Limited, Morgan Stanley & Co.
International Limited, Oppenheimer International Ltd. and UBS Limited (the 'Lead
Managers'), and certain other underwriters outside the United States and Canada
(the 'International Managers' and, together with the U.S. Underwriters, the
'Underwriters'). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
International Purchase Agreement, and concurrently with the sale of 6,400,000
shares of Common Stock to the U.S. Underwriters pursuant to the U.S. Purchase
Agreement, the Company and the Selling Stockholder severally have agreed to sell
to the International Managers, and the International Managers severally have
agreed to purchase, an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock. The
offering price per share and the total underwriting discount per share are
identical under the U.S. Purchase Agreement and the International Purchase
Agreement.
In each Purchase Agreement, the several U.S. Underwriters and the several
International Managers, respectively, have agreed, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in such Purchase Agreement, to purchase all of the shares
of Common Stock being sold pursuant to such Purchase Agreement if any of such
shares of Common Stock being sold pursuant to such Purchase Agreement are
purchased. Under certain circumstances, the commitments of non-defaulting U.S.
Underwriters or International Managers (as the case may be) may be increased.
The sale of Common Stock to the U.S. Underwriters is conditioned upon the sale
of shares of Common Stock to the International Managers.
The U.S. Representatives have advised the Company and the Selling
Stockholder that the U.S. Underwriters propose initially to offer the shares of
Common Stock to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover
page of this Prospectus and to certain dealers at such price less a concession
not in excess of $ per share of Common Stock. The U.S. Underwriters may allow,
and such dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess of $ per share of Common
Stock on sales to certain other dealers. After the public offering, the public
offering price, concession and discount may be changed.
18
<PAGE>
The Company and the Selling Stockholder have each granted an option to the
U.S. Underwriters, exercisable during the 30-day period after the date of this
Prospectus, to purchase up to an additional 760,000 shares and 200,000 shares,
respectively, of Common Stock at the public offering price set forth on the
cover page hereof, less the underwriting discount. The U.S. Underwriters may
exercise this option only to cover over-allotments, if any, made on the sale of
shares of Common Stock offered hereby. To the extent that the U.S. Underwriters
exercise this option, each U.S. Underwriter will be obligated, subject to
certain conditions, to purchase approximately the number of additional shares of
Common Stock proportionate to such U.S. Underwriter's initial amount reflected
in the foregoing table. The Company has also granted an option to the
International Managers, exercisable during the 30-day period after the date of
this Prospectus, to purchase up to an additional 240,000 shares of Common Stock
to cover over-allotments, if any, on terms similar to those granted to the U.S.
Underwriters.
The U.S. Representatives have advised the Company and the Selling
Stockholder that the U.S. Underwriters and the International Managers have
entered into an Intersyndicate Agreement (the 'Intersyndicate Agreement') that
provides for the coordination of their activities. Pursuant to the
Intersyndicate Agreement, the U.S. Underwriters and the International Managers
are permitted to sell shares of Common Stock to each other for purposes of
resale at the public offering price, less an amount not greater than the selling
concession. Under the terms of the Intersyndicate Agreement, the International
Managers and any dealer to whom they sell shares of Common Stock will not offer
to sell or sell shares of Common Stock to persons who are United States or
Canadian persons or to persons they believe intend to resell to persons who are
United States or Canadian persons, and the U.S. Underwriters and any dealer to
whom they sell shares of Common Stock will not offer to sell or sell shares of
Common Stock to non-United States or non-Canadian persons or to persons they
believe intend to resell to non-United States or non-Canadian persons, except,
in each case, for transactions pursuant to the Intersyndicate Agreement.
The Company, the Selling Stockholder and certain officers and directors of
the Company have agreed that they will not, directly or indirectly, for a period
of 90 days following the date of the Prospectus, except with the prior consent
of Merrill Lynch, on behalf of the Underwriters, sell, offer to sell, grant any
option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, any Common Stock. Calvin Klein,
Inc., which is the beneficial owner of 566,498 shares of Common Stock, has
agreed that it will not, directly or indirectly, until October 30, 1995, except
with prior consent of Merrill Lynch, on behalf of the Underwriters, sell, offer
to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, any Common
Stock.
The Company and the Selling Stockholder have agreed to indemnify the U.S.
Underwriters and the International Managers against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Oppenheimer Capital, a U.S. money manager and an affiliate of Oppenheimer &
Co., Inc., holds approximately 5.9 million shares of the Company's Common Stock
in connection with its money management activities. Because Oppenheimer & Co.,
Inc. may be deemed to be an affiliate of the Company, the U.S. Offering will be
conducted in accordance with Schedule E to the Bylaws of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Stanley

Net revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 were $210.4 million,

1994. Net revenues for the first six months of fiscal 1995 were $405.6 million,

Intimate Apparel Division net revenues increased 12.4% in the second
quarter of fiscal 1995 to $159.0 million from $141.4 million in the second
quarter of fiscal 1994. The increase was achieved despite the comparison to the

$15.3 million higher. Excluding the Avon launch, Intimate Apparel Division net
revenues increased 27.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to fiscal
1994. Calvin Klein net revenues are up 121% due to the successful launch of the
women's intimate apparel business on January 1, 1995 and improved market
penetration in the men's underwear business. Fruit of the Loom net revenues
increased 54.9% and international net revenues increased 12.8% over the prior
year period. Intimate Apparel Division net revenues in the first six months of
fiscal 1995 increased 27% to $305.4 million from the $240.5 million recorded in
the first six months of fiscal 1994. The higher net revenues reflect increases
in all brands including an increase of 227% in Calvin Klein net revenues, which
compares a full six months in fiscal 1995 to 3 1/2 months in fiscal 1994,
increases in domestic Warner's and Olga net revenues of 10.6%, international net
revenues of 11.5% and Fruit of the Loom net revenues of 28.7%.
Menswear Division net revenues increased 3.6% to $40.8 million from the
$39.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1994. Included in 1994 are brands
that have been discontinued of Puritan, Dior and Nicklaus. Excluding the
discontinued brands from the prior year's net revenues, Menswear Division net
revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased 11.8% over the second
quarter of fiscal 1994 primarily due to an increase of 16.5% in Chaps by Ralph
Lauren. Menswear Division net revenues for the first six months of fiscal 1995
increased 2.2% to $82.6 million compared to $80.8 million. Excluding the
discontinued brands, Menswear Division net revenues increased 16.9% compared to
the first six months of fiscal 1994 due primarily to an increase in Chaps by
Ralph Lauren of 22.5%.

Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased 19.7% to $68.2
million from the $57.0 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 1994.
Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues improved 250 basis points to 32.4%
in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 from 29.9% in the comparable fiscal 1994
period. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net revenues reflects
increased manufacturing efficiencies and a more favorable mix of regular price
sales. Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 1995 increased 25.8% to
$135.0 million compared to the $107.4 million in the first six months of fiscal
1994. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues increased to 33.3% in the
first six months of fiscal 1995 compared to 31.8% in the first six months of the
prior year. The increase in gross profit reflects manufacturing efficiencies and
the more favorable mix as noted above.
Selling, administrative and general expenses increased to $43.8 million
(20.8% of net revenues) from the $38.8 million (20.4% of net revenues) recorded
in the second quarter of fiscal 1994. The increase in selling, administrative
and general expenses reflect the increased sales volume noted above and an
increase in marketing expenses of 50 basis points to support the launch of
Calvin Klein women's intimate apparel. This was partially offset by an
improvement in selling and administrative expenses. Selling, administrative and
general expenses for the first six months of fiscal 1995 increased to $85.1
million (21.0% of net revenues) from $69.1 million (20.4% of net revenues)
recorded in the first six months of fiscal 1994. The increase in selling,
administrative and general expenses in the first six months of fiscal 1995
compared to fiscal 1994 reflects higher sales volume and the increase in
marketing expenses noted above.
Interest expense increased to $9.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal
1995 from $8.3 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 1994. Interest
expense increased to $17.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 1995 from
$15.7 million recorded in the first half of fiscal 1994. The increase in
interest expense is due primarily to an increase in interest rates of over 200
basis points since the end of the first half of fiscal 1994. The Company has
purchased interest rate swap agreements which effectively fix the interest rate
on $275 million of the Company's approximately $400 million of debt at an all-in
interest rate of 6.25% through 1996, which limits the impact of future increases
in interest rates.
The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 was
$5.7 million compared to $0.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1994. The
Company's effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 1995 was 38%
compared to 7% for the first six months of fiscal 1994. The increase in
effective tax rate in 1995 compared to 1994 reflects the utilization of the
Company's net operating loss carryforwards in the first six months of fiscal
1994, which offset the Company's 1994 federal income tax provision, leaving only
a 7% state tax provision.
The first quarter of fiscal 1994 includes a non-recurring loss of $3.0
million, related to the deductible portion of the Company's insurance policy on
the January 17th California earthquake which temporarily shut down the Olga
Division's distribution center.
Net income for the second quarter of 1995 was $9.3 million compared to $9.1
million in the second quarter of fiscal 1994. Income for the second quarter of
fiscal 1994, adjusted to reflect a normalized tax provision of 38%, was $6.1
million. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 of $10.6 million is
51.9% higher than the fully taxed income of $6.1 million recorded in the second
quarter of fiscal 1994. Net income for the first six months of fiscal 1995 of
$19.9 million was 42.2% higher than the fully taxed income before the loss on
the California earthquake of $14.0 million recorded in the first six months of
fiscal 1994.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Consistent with the Company's goal of providing increased shareholder
value, on May 11, 1995, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07
per share. The dividend of $2.9 million was paid on June 30, 1995 to
shareholders of record as of May 30, 1995.
The Company's liquidity requirements arise primarily from its debt service
requirements and the funding of the Company's working capital needs, primarily
inventory and accounts receivable. The Company's borrowing requirements are
seasonal, with peak working capital needs generally arising at the end of the
second quarter and during the third quarter of the fiscal year. The Company
typically
7
<PAGE>
generates nearly all of its operating cash flow in the fourth quarter of the
fiscal year reflecting third and fourth quarter shipments and the sale of
inventory built during the first half of the fiscal year.
Cash used by operations in the first six months of fiscal 1995 was $42.6
million compared to a use of $38.2 million in the comparable 1994 period. The
use of cash in the first six months of the Company's fiscal year is a result of
seasonal increases in working capital, primarily inventory. The slight increase
in cash used in operations in the first six months of fiscal 1995 compared to
fiscal 1994 reflects higher investment in working capital, primarily inventory,
to support the increased sales volume in the second half of fiscal 1995, as well
as the strong growth of the Calvin Klein business. The increased investment in
inventory was partially offset by increased net income and an improvement in
accounts receivable where days sales outstanding was reduced by 6 days to 51
days.
The Company anticipates filing a Registration Statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to sell 7,500,000 shares of its common stock in an
underwritten public offering on August 9, 1995. The estimated net proceeds from
the proposed offering are expected to be approximately $150 million which will
be used to repay certain amounts outstanding under the Company's Bank Credit
Agreement. Additional funds available under the Company's revolving facility may
be used for strategic acquisitions as well as for working capital and other
corporate purposes. The Company believes that the funds available under its
existing credit arrangements and cash flow to be generated from future
operations will be sufficient to meet working capital and capital expenditure
needs of the Company, including dividend, interest and principal payments on
outstanding debt obligations, for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (the 'DGCL'), which enables a corporation in its original certificate of
incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal
liability of a director for violations of the director's fiduciary duty, except
(i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section
174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of
dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any
transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Company has adopted an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, which
eliminates the liability of directors to the extent permitted by Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL.
Reference is made to Section 145 of the DGCL which provides that a
corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or
proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation (a 'derivative action')),
if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct
was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative
actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with defense or settlement of such
action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any
indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable
to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other
indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's charter, by-laws,
disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise. The
Bylaws of the Company provide for indemnification of its directors and officers
to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
Reference is made to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company and Article VIII of the Bylaws of the Company.
In addition, the Company maintains a directors' and officers' liability
insurance policy and has entered into indemnification agreements with each of
its executive officers and directors.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(b)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
