</TABLE>


     Net sales for the quarter increased 1% from the third quarter of 1995 to
$336,679,000 reflecting lower than expected shipments as domestic retailers
scheduled shipments closer to the time of sale and an increasingly competitive
environment in Europe. Sales for the nine months ended September 29, 1996 of
$885,091,000, were 4% higher than the same period of 1995.

     Gross margins continue to show strong improvement over the depressed levels
of 1995 due to lower raw material prices and more cost effective manufacturing.
Gross margins in the third quarter of 1996 were 32.4% as compared to 26.8% in
the same period of 1995. For the nine months ended September 29, 1996, gross
margins were 31.7% as compared to 28.7% in the first nine months of 1995.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased moderately in
dollars and as a percent of sales for the quarter and the year when compared to
1995 primarily due to increased expenditures for customer service, royalties and
international expansion. Interest expense increased with higher levels of debt
when compared to the same periods in 1995.

Financial Condition

     The balance sheet reflects the Company's strong financial condition. Debt
to total capitalization decreased to 27.8% from the previous quarter's 30.1%.
When compared to the same period of 1995, debt to total capitalization increased
from 23.0% reflecting the issuance of $100 million of long-term debt during the
fourth quarter of 1995. Inventory levels rose in line with requirements to
service anticipated fourth quarter shipments.

     The statement of cash flows indicates that the Company has invested
approximately $86 million in additional property, plant and equipment during
1996. These expenditures were mainly for customer service facilities and
additional manufacturing capacity as the Company continues to improve
manufacturing efficiencies and customer service capabilities. The funds for
these expenditures as well as those for Common Stock dividends, the repurchase
of treasury shares and the repayment of long-term debt were provided by
internally generated funds and short-term borrowings. At quarter-end the Company
maintained $209 million in informal lines of credit.

     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 rate 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 three quarters 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 stabilizes the price the Company pays for
cotton, thereby limiting the risk of price increases as well as the Company's
ability to benefit from price decreases. At September 29, 1996, the Company had
outstanding futures contracts that, when combined with other contracts and
inventory, exceeded the Company's anticipated 1996 cotton requirements.
