Exhibit 10(F)


TENTH SUPPLEMENTAL ANNUAL BENEFIT DETERMINATION

PURSUANT TO THE VF CORPORATION AMENDED AND RESTATED

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN



Article I. Purpose.



The purpose of this Tenth Supplemental Annual Benefit Determination (the
“Determination”) is to provide to designated Participants a Supplemental
Pension under the VF Corporation Amended and Restated Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (the “SERP”).


Article II. Definitions.



As used herein, words and phrases shall have such meanings as are set forth in
the SERP, the VF Corporation Pension Plan (“Pension Plan”), and the VF Mid-Term
Incentive Plan (the “Mid-Term Incentive Plan”), which is implemented under the
VF 1996 Stock Compensation Plan. “Committee” shall mean the Organization and
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of VF Corporation, or any
successor committee thereto.


Article III. Eligibility for Benefits.



The Supplemental Pension shall be payable to the Participant if his or her
employment ceases by reason of: 1) retirement on his or her Normal Retirement
Date, 2) termination of employment or 3) death while an Employee.


Article IV. Supplemental Pension Benefits.



               4.01 Normal Retirement: The Participants in this Determination shall
receive the following Supplemental Pension payable at Normal or Late
Retirement:




	 	(a)	 	The Normal Retirement Benefit otherwise payable to
the Participant under the Pension Plan computed
without reduction for any maximum contribution,
benefit or compensation limitations imposed by ERISA
or the Code on the Corporation and including in the
Normal Retirement Benefit calculation any compensation
deferred by Participant, and by including as
Compensation for purposes of the Pension Plan the fair
market value of the Stock Units earned as PeRS by the
Participant for each Performance Cycle under the
Mid-Term Incentive Plan. The fair market value of
such Stock Units shall be determined as of the last
day of the Performance Cycle for which such Stock
Units are earned. The amount includible as
Compensation for purposes of the Pension Plan formula
with respect to the Participant’s participation in the
Mid-Term Incentive Plan shall be considered
Compensation for the respective Plan Year in which the
respective Performance Cycle for which the Stock Units
are earned ends.



 






 





	 	(b)	 	The Supplemental Pension set forth in Section
4.01(a) shall be reduced by any benefits payable to
the Participant under the Pension Plan.



               4.02 Termination of Employment: The Supplemental Pension payable by
reason of the Participant’s termination of employment shall be equal to the
benefit provided by Section 4.01 above multiplied by a fraction (not greater
than 1.0). The numerator of this fraction shall be the number of full and part
years of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation (counting as years
of employment for purposes of the numerator the Years of Credit with which the
Participant is credited under the Second Amended Supplemental Annual Benefit
Determination or any other Supplemental Annual Benefit Determination under the
SERP). The denominator of this fraction shall be the number of full and part
years of the Participant’s employment as if the Participant had been employed
until Normal Retirement Date.



               4.03 Death While an Employee: The Supplemental Pension payable upon the
death of the Participant while an Employee shall be as provided by Section
4.02.



               4.04 Form of Supplemental Pension: The form of benefits payable to the
Participant shall be the form which has been elected under the Pension Plan
unless the Participant or Beneficiary has elected a different form under this
Determination. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.04, payment of
Supplemental Pension benefits hereunder shall commence at the same time as the
Participant’s or Beneficiary’s benefits commence under the Pension Plan, and
shall be subject to the same reductions for commencement of payments prior to
Normal Retirement Date as apply to the recipient’s benefits under the Pension
Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may elect to receive in a
lump sum the actuarial present value of his or her Supplemental Pension under
this Determination, and if a Participant dies while employed, his or her
Beneficiary may elect to receive in a lump sum the actuarial present value of
the Participant’s Supplemental Pension under this Determination. The lump sum
actuarial present value calculations shall be based on an interest rate
assumption equal to the expected rate of return on assets for financial
accounting purposes under the Pension Plan for the year in which the lump sum
payment is to be made and on the mortality assumption set forth in the Pension
Plan for purposes of calculating lump sum payments.



Article V. Participants.



The Committee designates as Participants for purposes of this Determination any
Employees who at any time earned Stock Units as PeRS under the Mid-Term
Incentive Plan, provided, however, that any Employees who have been designated
in any other SERP Determination shall be excluded from this Determination to
the extent that such other Determination provides for the Supplemental Pension
set forth above.


Article VI. Vesting.



The Participant shall become vested in the Supplemental Pension payable
pursuant to this Determination upon satisfaction of the vesting period provided
in the SERP. Nothing in this Determination shall preclude the Board of
Directors from discontinuing eligibility to participate
