Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The opinion set forth below is rendered with respect to the
300,000 shares, par value $.01 per share, of common stock of
Delta Woodside Industries, Inc., a South Carolina corporation
(the "Company"), that will be registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission by the above-referenced Registration
Statement on Form S-8 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, in connection with the Company's Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan").  We have examined the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, and all amendments thereto, the Company's By-Laws,
as amended, and reviewed the records of the Company's corporate
proceedings.  We have made such investigation of law as we have
deemed necessary in order to enable us to render this opinion. 
With respect to matters of fact, we have relied upon information
provided to us by the Company and no further investigation.  With
respect to all examined documents, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic
originals of all documents submitted to us as certified,
conformed or photostatic copies and the accuracy and completeness
of the information contained therein.

     Based on and subject to the foregoing and subject to the
comments, limitations and qualifications set forth below, we are
of the opinion that:

     1.   The Company is currently existing as a corporation
          under the laws of the State of South Carolina.

     2.   Upon satisfaction of the exercisability and other
          conditions set forth in the Plan and in the applicable 
          stock option agreement or letter and payment of the
          applicable exercise price, shares of the Company's
          common stock covered by the above-referenced
          Registration Statement that are issued after the date
          hereof under and in compliance with the terms of the
          Plan will be legally issued, fully paid to the Company
          and non-assessable.

     The foregoing opinion is limited to matters governed by the
laws of the State of South Carolina in force on the date of this
letter.  We express no opinion with regard to any matter that may
be (or that purports to be) governed by the laws of any other
state or jurisdiction.  In addition, we express no opinion with
respect to any matter arising under or governed by the South
Carolina Uniform Securities Act, as amended, any law respecting
disclosure or any law respecting any environmental matter.

     This opinion is rendered as the date of this letter and
applies only to the matters specifically covered by this opinion,
and we disclaim any continuing responsibility for matters
occurring after the date of this letter.

     Except as noted below, this opinion is rendered solely for
your benefit in connection with the above-referenced Registration
Statement on Form S-8 respecting shares of the Company's common
stock to be issued under the Plan and may not be relied upon,
quoted or used by any other person or entity or for any other
purpose without our prior written consent.

     We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-8 respecting
shares of the Company's common stock to be issued under the Plan.

                         Very truly yours,

                         WYCHE, BURGESS, FREEMAN & PARHAM, P.A.
