NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
QUARTERS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1997 AND MARCH 1, 1996

1. The foregoing unaudited consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of results to be expected for the year.

2. The financial information presented herein should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included
in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended May 31, 1996.

3. The Company is involved in certain legal matters primarily
arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of
management, the Company's liability under any of these matters
would not materially affect its financial condition or results
of operations.
Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations


NET SALES

Net sales for the third quarter of the 1997 fiscal year, which ended
February 28, 1997, increased 20.8% from net sales for the same period
of the prior year. Net sales for the first nine months of the current
year increased 5.5% from net sales for the same period of the prior
year. Third quarter net sales increased in all of the Company's major
groups and all groups achieved double digit sales increases.

The Men's Slacks Group posted a 19.8% sales increase primarily due to
its Specialty Catalog business unit.

The Men's Tailored Clothing Group posted a 24.0% increase primarily
due to its Oscar de la Renta line. Shipments of its new Nautica line
began in the last month of the quarter, but were not significant in
the current reporting period.

The Womenswear Group experienced a 30.6% increase in net sales for the
quarter primarily from sales to Wal-Mart and Target.

The Men's Shirt Group achieved an 11.6% increase in net sales for the
quarter. The group had strong sales gains in Tommy Hilfiger Golf,
Tommy Hilfiger Dress Shirts, Polo for Boys and its OxSport private
label sport shirt division. Oxford Shirtings, the Company's private
label dress shirt division, had a sales decrease due to its exit from
wet processed wrinkle-free production.

The Company experienced a overall unit sales volume increase of 23.0%
and a 1.8% decrease in the average sales price during the third
quarter. Third quarter net sales included increased unit sales in the
Company's licensed designer divisions (with higher average sales per
unit) and increased unit sales in the Womenswear Group (with lower
average sales per unit). For the first nine months of the current
year, the Company experienced a 2.5% increase unit volume and a 2.8%
increase in the average sales price per unit.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 79.9% in the third
quarter of the current year as compared to 83.8% in the third quarter
of the prior year. For the first nine months of the current fiscal
year, cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 81.2% and
83.2% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in cost of
goods sold as a percentage of net sales was due in part to the
increased sales of higher margin lines. Other factors contributing to
the deceased percentage were more efficient manufacturing and the
continuation of the shift from domestic production to offshore
production yielding relative decreased costs per unit.

During the third quarter, the Company's Mens Shirt Groups
manufacturing facility, Oxford Philippines, Inc. located in Marilao,
Blacan, Philippines continued to increase production levels.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 2.0% to
$25,124,000 in the third quarter of the current year from $24,633,000
in the same period of the prior year. Selling general and
administrative expenses decreased by 1.1% to $74,700,000 for the first
nine months of the current year from $75,547,000 in the same period of
the prior year.

As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased to 15.0% for the third quarter of the current year
from 17.8% for the third quarter of the prior year, and decreased to
13.8% for the first nine months of the current year from 14.7% for the
first nine months of the prior year. The increase in selling, general
and administrative expenses for the quarter are primarily due to start
up costs of the Nautica and Geoffrey Beene tailored clothing lines.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the
nine months are the result of cost containment initiatives and
divestiture of the B.J. Designs division.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense declined by $57,000 to $1,142,000 or 0.7% of net
sales in the third quarter of the current year from $1,199,000 or 0.9%
of net sales in the third quarter of the prior year. Net interest
expense declined by $1,607,000 to $3,309,000 or 0.6% of net sales in
the first nine months of the current year from $4,916,000 or 1.0% of
net sales in the same period of the prior year. The reduction in net
interest expense was due primarily to the reduced inventory from the
prior year.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate was 40.0% in the third quarter of
both the current and previous years and for the first nine months of
both the current and previous years and does not differ significantly
from the Company's statutory rate.

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

The Company expects to maintain its year-to-date performance levels
through the fourth quarter. The Company anticipates a record year in
sales with continued strong earnings improvements.

During the third quarter, the Company signed a licensing agreement
with Geoffrey Beene, Inc. The agreement is for the manufacture and
sale of the Geoffrey Beene tailored clothing collection of suits,
sportcoats, slacks and vests. The collection will be launched for
Spring 1998, and is targeted to major department and better specialty
stores.

During the fourth quarter, the Company's Men's Slacks Group will bring
Manufacturera de Sonora, S.A. de C.V. on line. This manufacturing
facility located in Sonora, Mexico will be the latest addition to the
Company's foreign facilities and is expected to further lower the cost
of goods sold.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Operating activities generated $12,270,000 in the first nine months of
the current year and $28,883,000 in the first nine months of the prior
year. The primary factors contributing to this reduced generation of
funds were increased receivables, smaller decreases in inventory and
trade payables partially offset by increased earnings.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Investing activities used $3,277,000 in the first nine months of the
current year and $16,244,000 in the first nine months of the prior
year. The primary factors contributing to this change were the
acquisition of Ely & Walker in the first quarter of the prior year and
Confecciones Monzini, S.A. in the third quarter of the prior year.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Financing activities used $6,950,000 in the first nine months of the
current year and $12,456,000 in the first nine months of the prior
year. The primary factor was the change in short-term borrowings.

The Company purchased and retired 100,000 shares of its common stock
during the nine months ended February 28, 1997. During the period
after the end of the third quarter through April 7, 1997, no shares
have been purchased and retired. Due to the exercise of employee
stock options a net of 42,900 shares of the Company's common stock
were issued during the first nine months and 1,200 shares were issued
since February 28, 1997 through April 7, 1997.

On April 7, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash
dividend of $.20 per share payable May 31, 1997 to shareholders of
record on May 15, 1997.

WORKING CAPITAL

Working capital increased from $138,602,000 at the end of the third
quarter of the prior year to $147,476,000 at the end of the third
quarter of the current fiscal year. The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities was 2.4 at the end of the third quarter of the
prior year and 2.5 at the end of the third quarter of the current
year.


FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company believes it has the ability to generate cash and/or has
available borrowing capacity to meet its foreseeable needs. The
sources of funds primarily include funds provided by operations and
both short- and long-term borrowings. The uses of funds primarily
include working capital requirements, capital expenditures,
acquisitions, dividends and repayment of long-term debt. The Company
regularly utilizes committed bank lines of credit and other
uncommitted bank resources to meet working capital requirements. On
February 28, 1997, the Company had available for its use committed
lines of credit with several lenders aggregating $52,000,000, of which
$40,000,000 is long-term. The Company pays commitment fees for these
lines of credit. At February 28, 1997, $52,000,000 was in use under
these lines. Of the $52,000,000, $40,000,000 is long-term. In
addition, the Company has $186,000,000 in uncommitted lines of credit,
of which $98,000,000 is reserved exclusively for letters of credit.
The Company pays no commitment fees for these lines of credit. At
February 28, 1997, $14,500,000 was in use under these lines of credit.
Maximum borrowings from all these sources during the first nine
months of the current year were $96,000,000 of which $56,000,000 was
short-term. The Company anticipates continued use and availability of
both committed and uncommitted resources as working capital needs may
require.

The Company considers possible acquisitions of apparel-
related businesses that are compatible with its long-term strategies.
There are no present plans to sell securities or enter into off-
balance sheet financing arrangements.
