                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Plan Administrator of
the Paragon
Retirement Investment Savings Management Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Paragon Retirement Investment Savings Management Plan as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the sponsoring company's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes, reportable transactions and loans in default are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The Fund Information in
the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes
in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis, rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund.  The supplemental
schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES
                  -------------------------------------------

                               DECEMBER 31, 1995
                               -----------------



1.  PLAN DESCRIPTION:
    -----------------

The following description of the Paragon Retirement Investment Savings
Management Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only.
More complete information regarding the Plan's provisions may be found in the
plan document.

General
- - -------

The Plan is a defined contribution plan established by Paragon Trade Brands,
Inc. (the Company), under the provisions of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code (IRC), for the benefit of eligible employees of the
Company.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).

The Paragon Profit Sharing Plan (Profit Sharing Plan) was originally adopted,
effective the closing date of the initial public offering in January 1993 by
Weyerhaeuser Company of the shares of common stock of the Company.  The Paragon
401(k) Savings Plan (401(k) Plan) was originally adopted, effective February 2,
1993, by the Company.  Effective October 1, 1993, the Profit Sharing Plan and
the 401(k) Plan were merged and restated as the Plan.  Effective January 1,
1995, the Plan was renamed the Paragon Retirement Investment Savings Management
Plan.

Eligibility
- - -----------

All regular employees of the Company, who have completed one year of service,
are eligible to participate in the Plan, except for employees covered by a
collective bargaining agreement that does not provide for participation in the
Plan, employees who are nonresident aliens and earn no U.S.-source income,
employees classified as bag stickering and hourly paid administrative employees.

Plan Administration
- - -------------------

The Plan is administered by the Plan Administrative Committee (the Committee),
which is appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Plan's
investments are held under a trust agreement with Vanguard Fiduciary Trust
Company (Vanguard).

                                       9

Contributions
- - -------------

Eligible employees can contribute up to 15% of compensation as defined by the
Plan, subject to certain limitations under the IRC.  The Company provides a
matching contribution equal to 50% of each participant's contributions that do
not exceed 6% of compensation.  The Company may, at its discretion, make profit
sharing contributions to the Plan in amounts to be determined by the Board of
Directors.  Forfeitures are used to reduce matching and profit sharing
contributions.

Vesting
- - -------

Participants are fully vested in their contributions and the earnings thereon.
Participants become fully vested in matching and profit sharing contributions
when they attain normal retirement age, as defined by the Plan, or after
completing five years of service, whichever occurs first.  Upon a participant's
death or disability, account balances become fully vested.

Benefits
- - --------

Upon termination of service, a participant may elect to receive an amount equal
to the value of the vested interest in his or her account, if the vested
interest is greater than $3,500.  For vested interests not exceeding $3,500, a
distribution will be made to the participant within 60 days after the last day
of the plan year in which the termination occurs.  All benefit payments are made
in lump-sum distributions.  Special distribution rules apply to benefit payments
upon attainment of age 70-1/2 and in-service withdrawals.  In these cases, the
plan document should be consulted.

Participant Accounts
- - --------------------

Individual accounts are maintained for each of the Plan's participants to
reflect the participant's contributions, matching and profit sharing
contributions, as well as the participant's share of the Plan's income or loss
and any related administrative expenses.  The trust funds are valued on each
business day.  Participant accounts are adjusted as of each valuation date to
reflect any distributions made and contributions received, including income or
loss on trust fund investments.  Allocations of earnings, gains and losses are
based on the proportion of each participant's account invested in a particular
fund to the total of all participant account balances invested in such fund.

Loans to Participants
- - ---------------------

A participant may borrow up to the lesser of 50% of his or her vested account
balance, excluding profit sharing contributions, or $50,000, reduced by the
highest loan amount outstanding during the preceding 12-month period, with a
minimum loan amount of $1,000.  Loans are repayable through payroll deductions
over periods ranging up to 60 months, except for loans used to purchase the
participant's primary residence, which can be repaid over a longer period.  All
loans bear interest at rates set by the Administrative Committee, based upon the
rates charged by commercial lenders for similar loans.  As of December 31, 1995,
four loans totaling $2,828 were in default with respect to interest and
principal payments.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    -------------------------------------------

Basis of Accounting
- - -------------------

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.

Income Recognition
- - ------------------

Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are purchased or
sold (trade date).  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is recognized when earned.  Net appreciation (depreciation) in
the fair value of assets represents the change in the fair value of assets and
is computed using the average cost method, based on the beginning of year market
value, or the cost of the security if it is acquired during the year.

Investment Valuation
- - --------------------

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value.  Shares of registered
investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net
asset value of shares held for the Plan at year-end.  The values for the Company
Stock Fund are based on the closing share prices of the Company's common stock.

Administrative Expenses
- - -----------------------

Investment advisory fees for portfolio management by Vanguard Funds are paid
directly from fund earnings.  Other administrative expenses are paid by the
Company.

Use of Estimates
- - ----------------

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Other
- - -----

Excess contributions to active plan participants, as presented in the statement
of net assets available for benefits, represent the excess employee
contributions, above the IRC limitations, made during 1995 which will be
returned to those employees.

3.  INVESTMENTS:

Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of plan termination,
participants will become fully vested in their account balances.
