      Sales for the quarter increased 8.1% in comparison to the same period in
1995.  For the first half of 1996, sales increased 6.1%.  The Licensed Products
and International Divisions as well as the Company's DeSoto Mills subsidiary
showed significant increases in sales for the second quarter as well as the
first half of the year.

      Gross margins improved to 31.1% and 31.3% for the quarter and first half,
respectively versus 28.9% and 29.9% in the comparable periods in 1995.  These
improvements can be attributed mainly to more favorable raw material prices,
improved manufacturing efficiencies and the realization of savings from the
Company's ongoing cost reduction efforts.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7.3% in dollars,
but decreased slightly as a percent of sales in the quarter reflecting the
benefits of increased sales volumes.  Increased royalty rates and customer
service expenditures as well as international expansion were the main
contributors to the dollar increases.  Interest expense increased with higher
levels of debt when compared to the same periods of 1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

      The Company's balance sheet continues to reflect a strong financial
condition.  Long-term debt to total capitalization percentage increased from
25.2% at July 2, 1995 to 30.1% at June 30, 1996, reflecting the issuance of an
additional $100 million of long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 1995.
Inventory levels rose with seasonal requirements to service fall shipments.  At
quarter-end the Company maintained $209 million in informal lines of credit.

      The statement of cash flows reflects that the Company has invested
approximately $61 million in additional property, plant and equipment during
the first half of 1996 as the Company continues to improve its customer service
capabilities and manufacturing efficiencies.  These capital expenditures as
well as dividends, treasury share purchases and other working capital
requirements were financed with internally generated funds and short-term
borrowings.

      Subsequent to quarter end, the Company's Board of Directors adjusted the
authorization to repurchase the Company's outstanding Common Stock, in open
market transactions, to a total of two million shares.  The Board of Directors
also voted to increase the dividend payable to shareholders of record as of
August 5 to $.13 from $.12, an 8% increase.

      The Company utilizes two interest rate swap agreements in the management
of its interest rate exposure.  These agreements effectively convert a portion
of the Company's interest rate exposure from a fixed to a floating rate basis,
and from a floating rate to a fixed rate basis.  The effect of these agreements
was to effectively lower interest expense on the Company's long-term debt in
the first half of 1996.

      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, these contracts may be purchased at the time
prices are set.  Purchasing futures contracts not only limits the risk of price
increases, but also limits the Company's ability to benefit from future price
decreases.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had outstanding futures contracts,
that when combined with other contracts and inventory, exceeded the Company's
anticipated 1996 cotton requirements.
