                                   PART I
                      --------------------------------
  
 Item One - Business
  
     Oneita Industries, Inc. (the  Company  or  Oneita ) manufactures and 
markets high quality activewear and infantswear. Oneita s activewear 
includes T-shirts and sweatshirts for screen printing sold under the Oneita
Power-T , Oneita Power/50 Plus  and Oneita Power-Sweats  brand names. The 
Company estimates that it is the fourth largest manufacturer of imprinted 
T-shirts in the United States. Oneita s infantswear includes layette and 
playwear sold under brand names, including Soupcon , Oneita s Kids, 
Health-tex  Layette Collection and under private label. These products are 
marketed to the imprinted sportswear industry through the Company's 
Activewear Division and to major retailers through the Company s  Retail 
Division.
     Since 1987, Oneita has achieved substantial growth by building a brand 
name activewear and infantswear business with a high quality image. As a result 
of realigning its product mix to concentrate on these higher margin products, 
the Company's net sales of activewear increased from $37.4 million in 1987 
to $156.1 million in 1992, $141.1 million in 1993 and $156.4 million in 1994 
(a compound annual growth rate of approximately 22.7%) and net sales of 
infantswear increased from $14.2 million in 1987 to $47.4 million in 1992, 
$36.3 million in 1993 and $36.4 million in 1994 (a compound annual growth 
rate of approximately 14.4%).
     Oneita expanded its activewear products by introducing sweatshirts in 
1991 under the Oneita Power-Sweats label. Sweatshirts accounted for 
approximately  $11.2 million of the activewear sales in 1993 and $17.7
million of the activewear sales for 1994. In infantswear, Oneita has focused 
on developing a variety of brand name products, each targeted at specific 
retail markets, including department stores, chain stores and mass 
merchandisers.
  
PRODUCTS
     Activewear. Oneita manufactures and markets T-shirts and sweatshirts 
for the imprinted sportswear industry.  Screen printing consists of imprinting 
designs, patterns or letters ranging from simple lettering to complex color
patterns on apparel. Oneita's T-shirts, in management's opinion, are of high 
quality because they are heavy in weight, have fuller cut specifications and 
long-lasting construction features such as shoulder-to-shoulder taping and 
a seamless tubular collar design.
     Oneita introduced sweatshirts in 1991 to its activewear line under the 
Oneita Power-Sweats label. The company sells sweatshirts to the same 
customers to whom it sells T-shirts and believes that its ability to do so 
may result in stronger relationships with such customers and the addition 
of new customers for both T-shirts and sweatshirts.  Historically, Oneita's 
business has been seasonal with respect to T-shirt sales to the extent that
approximately 50% of annual T-shirt sales have been in the March through 
July period. Sweatshirts provide a seasonal balance for Oneita since its 
customers tend to stock higher levels of  T-shirts in the spring and summer 
months and higher levels of sweatshirts in the fall and winter months.
     The Company sells activewear through in-house salespersons to 
approximately 300 customers located throughout the United States, including 
60 distributors and also to major screenprinters, which accounted for sales 
of $104.1 million and $27.0 million respectively in 1993, and $128.3 million 
and $22 million respectively in 1994. The Company also sells activewear to 
distributors in Europe, Canada and the Pacific Rim. Such sales accounted
for approximately $5.7 million and $1.9 million of net sales in 1993 and 
1994, respectively.  The Company intends to expand its markets and 
geographic distribution by, among other things, increasing sales in these 
regions.
     Based upon an industry marketing study, the Company estimates that the 
T-shirt market exceeds $1.6 billion in sales annually and believes it is the 
fourth largest manufacturer of imprinted T-shirts in the United States.  The 
market for T-shirts for the screen printing industry is very competitive and 
is based upon quality, service, price, availability of product and name 
recognition.  Oneita s primary competitors, Fruit of the Loom, Inc., Russell 
Corporation and Hanes (a subsidiary of Sara Lee Corporation) are larger, have 
substantially greater resources and account for a majority of the T-shirt
market. Oneita believes that it competes favorably in quality, price, 
customer service and availability of product. However, if the dominant T-shirt 
manufacturers increase their manufacturing capacity substantially or reduce 
prices, Oneita s sales may be adversely affected.  Oneita s ability to compete 
may be adversely affected by an increase in yarn prices since, unlike certain 
of its competitors, Oneita does not spin its own yarn. Oneita believes that 
foreign competition does not have a material effect on the sale of activewear. 
During 1993,Oneita and certain of its competitors announced T-shirt price
decreases. Oneita s announced net price decreases aggregated approximately 
4% over 1993. In July 1994, Oneita and other competitors announced T-shirt 
price increases of approximately 4% over existing prices.
  
<PAGE> 3
  
     During 1994, Oneita expanded its Power/50 Plus line (a premium T-shirt 
comprised of 60% cotton and 40% polyester), enhanced its  PFD  T-shirt 
collection (an all-cotton shirt that is re-dyed by customers) and also 
introduced a new T-shirt, the Power Rib-T.
     Infantswear. Historically, Oneita manufactured and sold private label 
cotton and cotton blend layette and playwear for infants and toddlers. 
Layette is apparel for newborns, and playwear is apparel for infants and 
toddlers up to 35 months. In 1986, Oneita began to manufacture and market 
higher priced infantswear under its own brand name, Soupcon. In 1988, Oneita 
introduced toddlerswear. In 1993 and 1994, net sales of infantswear and 
toddlerswear under the Company s own brand names accounted for approximately
57% and 38%, respectively, of its total infantswear sales.
     Oneita has an exclusive license agreement with Health-tex, Inc. to 
manufacture and market the Health-tex lines of layette products in the United 
States and its territories. This license agreement has been renewed through 
September 1997 with three three-year extension options remaining. Oneita also 
has a license agreement to manufacture and market a layette line under the 
Mother Goose & Company trademark. This license agreement expires on March 
30, 1997, subject to two three-year renewals, and requires certain minimum 
royalty payments. Pursuant to this license agreement, Oneita provides a layette 
line to Kmart, a leading retailer.
     Oneita sells its private label infantswear and its Health-tex products 
to substantially all of the major department store chains and its Soupcon 
products to higher priced department and specialty stores. ONEITA S KIDS 
products are sold primarily to chain stores and moderately priced retailers.
     Oneita has redirected its infantswear sales efforts by de-emphasizing 
small orders and higher priced playwear and concentrating on sales of 
layette and basic infantswear to larger customers, including mass 
merchandisers. The Company markets infantswear primarily through in-house 
salespeople. Oneita also displays its products at infantswear trade shows 
and advertises in trade magazines to maintain and improve brand name 
recognition.
     The infantswear market is highly competitive and consists of companies, 
including William H. Carter, Gerber Products Company and Oshkosh B  Gosh, Inc. 
which are larger and have substantially greater market share and resources 
than the Company. The Company believes that it competes favorably with other 
manufacturers of private label products as well as with other manufacturers 
of high quality brand name infantswear on the basis of quality, service, 
price and availability of product.
  
MANUFACTURING
     The Company s historical strategy has been to increase cost efficiencies
through operating its facilities at maximum capacity and, from time to time,
using outside contractors to meet customer demand surges.  In addition, the 
Company has an on-going program to upgrade its manufacturing equipment and 
add technologically advanced manufacturing equipment. Since 1989, the Company 
has added approximately $46 million of machinery and technologically advanced 
equipment. This program is intended to result in higher production levels 
and increased manufacturing efficiencies. In November 1994 the Company 
announced a $16,000,000 capital expenditure program that calls for expansion 
of its textile manufacturing facilities, including knitting, bleaching and 
dyeing.
     The Company s manufacturing operations consist of knitting, bleaching 
and dyeing, cutting and sewing and packaging. The Company s operations begin 
with raw yarns.  The yarn is then knit into three basic fabric constructions 
(jersey, rib and interlock) from which the Company produces its products. The 
knitted fabric is attached in lots for bleaching or scoured for dyeing in a
variety of both pressure and atmospheric vessels for color, consistency and 
quality. The fabric is then brought to finishing. The finishing operation sets 
the width and length and pre-shrinks the fabric. The finished fabric lots 
are then transported to a cutting operation which cuts specific garment parts 
such as sleeves, collars, cuffs and bodies for sewing. The cut parts are then 
sewn together in an assembly line. Various sewing threads, stitches, trims 
and colors are mixed and matched for desired styling. The finished garments 
are inspected, folded and packaged. Quality assurance systems are utilized 
in checking raw materials, in-process controls and finished products.
     In fiscal 1993, in connection with its restructuring program, the 
Company closed three manufacturing facilities. The Company s nine remaining 
manufacturing facilities are located in South Carolina, North Carolina, 
Alabama, Jamaica and Mexico. The facilities in Jamaica and Mexico are 
provided with cut fabric for T-shirts and are used for sewing operations. 
In 1994, approximately 40% of the Company s T-shirts were sewn in Jamaica and 
Mexico. 
     In December 1994, the Company announced the consolidation of Activewear 
distribution from five warehouse locations in South Carolina to one warehouse 
in Atlanta, Georgia. The consolidation, as well as new state of the art 
material handling equipment, is expected to reduce the costs of transporting 
goods to and from our sewing facilities, reduce the cost of transportation for 
our customers and reduce lead times.

SALES TO MAJOR CUSTOMERS
     Net sales to the Company's ten largest customers for the year ended 
September 30, 1994 accounted for approximately 52% of the Company s total 
sales for such period. Two customers, SanMar Corporation and California 
Shirt Sales Inc., distributors of Activewear for screen printing, accounted 
for approximately 16% and 11%, respectively, of total net sales for 1994. Net 
sales to the Company s five largest activewear customers for 1994 accounted 
for approximately 40% of the Company s total net sales. Net sales to the 
Company s five largest infantswear customers for 1994 accounted for 
approximately 10% of the Company's total net sales.
  
EFFECT OF IMPORTS
     Current United States quotas and tariffs restrict the number and 
increase the cost of apparel items foreign producers can export to the United 
States. Foreign competitors, whose chief competitive advantage is low labor 
cost, tend to focus on items with high labor content, such as higher priced 
sportswear. Oneita's products are not as labor intensive as such other 
manufactured apparel and, the Company believes, are less sensitive to 
foreign competition.
     In November 1993, the United States Congress approved the North 
American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA"), which will eliminate barriers to 
imports between the United States, Canada and Mexico over a ten (10) year 
period. In December 1993, the Uruguay round of negotiations under the 
auspices of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade("GATT") was concluded. 
Recently ratified by Congress, GATT will require that quotas on apparel and 
textile products are to be phased out over a ten (10) year period and 
tariffs on such products are to be reduced by approximately 11% over a ten 
(10) year period. The Company is unable to determine at this time what effect, 
if any,  changes resulting from NAFTA and GATT may have on its business, 
operations or financial condition.
  
RAW MATERIALS
     The principal raw materials used in the Company's products are cotton 
yarn and blend yarns. The bulk of this yarn is obtained from multiple 
suppliers within a 300-mile radius of the Company s fabric knitting plant. The 
prices of cotton yarn fluctuate from time to time. The Company has entered 
into supply contracts for cotton yarn, generally at fixed prices with various 
expiration dates through December 1995. As these contracts expire, the 
Company will be required to purchase cotton yarn at the current market 
prices which may be higher than current contract prices.
     Other raw materials, such as chemicals, dyes and packaging materials, 
are purchased on the open market. The sources and availability of these 
materials are believed to be adequate to meet present needs.
  
BACKLOG
     The Company s backlog of unfilled orders was approximately $52 million 
at September 30, 1994, compared with approximately $43 million at September 
30, 1993. The  amount of unfilled orders at a particular time is affected 
by a number of factors, including the scheduling of manufacturing and 
product shipping, which in some instances is dependent on the desires of the 
customer.  Accordingly, the amount of unfilled orders may not be indicative 
of eventual actual shipments. The Company expects to ship substantially all 
of its September 30, 1994 backlog of unfilled orders by September 30, 1995.
  
TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
     The Company has registered the Oneita Power-T, Oneita Power/50 Plus, 
Soupcon , ONEITA'S KIDS , Oneita Power-Sweats  trademarks and certain other 
trademarks. The expiration dates of these trademarks range from July 2006 to 
December 2008. The loss of certain of these trademarks would have a material 
adverse effect upon the Companys business.

EMPLOYEES
     As of September 30, 1994, the Company had approximately 3,400 full time 
employees, including 3,140 in manufacturing, 60 in marketing and sales and 
200 in general management and administration.
     Approximately 600 of the Company s manufacturing employees are covered 
by a collective bargaining agreement with the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile 
Workers Union which expires in October 1995. The Company considers its 
employee relations to be satisfactory.

       *     Filed herewith
  
The following undertakings are incorporated into the Company s Registration 
Statements on Form S-8 (Registration Statement No. 33-30575 and 33-34778) and
Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 33-70524).
      (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
           (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being 
                 made, a post-effective amendment to the registration 
                 statement;
           (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 
                 Securities Act of 1993;
           (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any fact or events arising 
                 after the effective date of the registration statement (or 
                 most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, 
                 individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental 
                 change in the information set forth in the registration 
                 statement;
           (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan 
                 of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
                 statement or any material change to such information in the 
                 registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if 
the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information 
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is 
contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated 
by reference in the registration statement.
           (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under 
                the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 
                shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating 
                to the securities offered therein, and the offering of 
                securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona 
                fide offering thereof.
           (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective 
                amendment any of the securities being registered which remain 
                unsold at the termination of the offering.
      (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes 
           of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 
           each filing of the registrant s annual report pursuant to Section 
           13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
           (and, where applicable, each filing of any employee benefit plan's 
           annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange 
           Act of 1934) 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 the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
           fide offering thereof.
  
           (i)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 
                Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities and 
                Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public 
                policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be
                governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
