                 Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

1.    In the opinion of Management, the accompanying audited and unaudited
      consoli dated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
      (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
      fairly the financial position as of April 2, 1995, and December 31, 1994,
      and the results of operations and cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended
      April 2, 1995 and April 3, 1994.

      The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note A
      to the Company's consolidated financial statements in Form 10-K for the
      year ended December 31, 1994.

2.    Effective January 3, 1993, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
      Standards Board Statement 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
      Benefits Other Than Pensions" and Statement 109, "Accounting for Income
      Taxes".  The effect of the adoption of these standards was not material.

3.    The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1995, are
      not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
      year.

4.    On April 1, 1994, the Company acquired DeSoto Mills, Inc.  The stock
      transaction, valued at $10 million, resulted in DeSoto Mills, Inc.
      becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Sales increases for the first quarter of 1995 reflect higher activewear
volumes, strong international growth and the effect of the DeSoto Mills, Inc.
acquisition.  This acquisition accounted for $9,083,000 of the quarterly
increase.

Gross margins were impacted by less than planned sales and earnings in the
Russell Athletic and Licensed Products Divisions.  Russell Athletic experienced
reduced re-order rates at the department store level in January and February,
principally, as a result of weather related issues.  Spillover from the
baseball and hockey strikes affected the licensed product market and that
business will continue to be soft for the foreseeable future.  Also, DeSoto
Mills operated at margins lower than other company divisions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4%, but decreased as a
percentage of sales.  Interest expense increased primarily as a result of
higher short-term borrowing rates.  Other income was derived mainly from
interest, rental income and the disposition of certain fixed assets.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's financial condition remained strong with long-term debt to total
capitalization of 18.8%.  The statement of cash flows reflects that $10.4
million was invested in the capital program during the first quarter of 1995.
Capital expenditures, working capital needs, dividends and treasury stock
purchases were met with internally generated funds and short-term bank loans.
At quarter-end, the Company maintained $284 million in informal lines of
credit.

The Company utilizes an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert a
portion of its interest rate exposure to a floating rate basis.  That agreement
effectively lowered the weighted average interest rate on the Company's
long-term debt during the first quarter.

The Company utilizes cotton futures contracts to set sales prices which are
generally set six months to a year in advance of the selling season.  Depending
upon market conditions, futures may be purchased to cover the Company's cotton
requirements, generally, at the time that prices are set.  Purchasing futures
not only reduces the risks of adverse price fluctuations, but also limits the
Company's ability to benefit from positive price fluctuations over the terms of
the agreements.

In anticipation of higher cotton prices in 1995, the Company purchased futures
contracts to cover its cotton requirements.  Cotton prices rose in the first
quarter of 1995 and the aforementioned futures favorably mitigated cotton
prices for this period.

The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed by management when facts and
circumstances suggest that it may be impaired.  Should this review indicate
that goodwill will not be recoverable, based upon undiscounted cash flows of
the entity, the Company's carrying value of the goodwill is reduced by the
estimated shortfalls of the cash flows.
