Explanatory Note:

     This Amendment to Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 2, 2001
corrects Part I - Item 1: Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to
correctly reflect the presentation of "Provision for bad debts" and "Changes in
accounts receivable" under Cash Flows From Operating Activities. The corrected
presentation has no effect on the "Net cash provided by operating activities" in
such Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, the Liquidity
and Capital Resources section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I - Item 2 has been
corrected to reflect such presentation. Except as set forth above, no other
changes were made to the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 2, 2001.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 2, 2001
                                   (unaudited)
                    (amounts in thousands, except share data)


NOTE 1 -          The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
            without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
            Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
            disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
            accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
            condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These
            statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
            recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of
            financial position and results of operations. The financial
            statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the
            financial statements and notes thereto included in the latest annual
            report on Form 10-K.


NOTE 2 -          The results of operations for the three-month period ended
            June 2, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
            expected for the full year.


NOTE 3 -          Certain amounts in the prior year period have been
            reclassified to conform with classifications used at June 2, 2001.


NOTE 4 -          The Company utilized the last-in, first-out "LIFO" method for
            certain wholesale inventories as at June 2, 2001 and March 3, 2001
            and for the three-month periods ended June 2, 2001 and June 3, 2000.
            The "LIFO" inventory for the three-month periods ended June 2, 2001
            and June 3, 2000 are based upon end of year estimates. Inventories
            at June 2, 2001 and March 3, 2001 consist primarily of finished
            goods.


NOTE 5 -          As of June 2, 2001 and March 3, 2001, the Company had $175,000
            and $150,000, respectively, in lines of credit with four commercial
            banks. Such lines of credit are available for short-term borrowings
            and letters of credit, collateralized by imported inventory and
            accounts receivable. At June 2, 2001 and March 3, 2001, letters of
            credit outstanding under the lines were $95,400 and $58,600,
            respectively. At June 2, 2001, there was $35,000 of short-term
            borrowings outstanding.


NOTE 6 -          Basic net earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed
            by dividing income available to common shareholders by the
            weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
            net earnings per share reflects the weighted-average common shares
            outstanding plus the potential dilutive effect of options which are
            convertible into common shares. Options which were excluded from the
            calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise
            prices of the options were greater than the average market price of
            the common shares and, therefore, would be anti-dilutive, were
            2,198,900 and 2,375,450 during the three months ended June 2, 2001
            and June 3, 2000, respectively.

NOTE 7 -          The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
            Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
            Related Information," which establishes reporting and disclosure
            standards for an enterprise's operating segments. Operating segments
            are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate
            financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the
            Company's senior management.

                  The Company has the following two reportable segments:
            Wholesale and Retail. The Wholesale segment designs, markets,
            sources and distributes sportswear, activewear, outerwear, a jeans
            collection, a tailored clothing collection, robes and sleepwear for
            men, and a jeans collection, robes and sleepwear for women, to
            retail store customers. The Retail segment sells men's and women's
            apparel and other Nautica-branded products primarily through retail
            store locations directly to consumers.

                  The reportable segments are distinct business units,
            separately managed with different distribution channels.

NOTE 8 -          During the three months ended June 2, 2001, the Company's
            licensing unit terminated its license agreement with Hampton
            Industries, Inc. ("Hampton") to market Nautica childrenswear, and
            established a new business unit to assume certain of its operations.
            The Company made a payment to Hampton of approximately $6,681 for
            the purchase of inventory and certain other assets related to the
            Nautica childrenswear business, and agreed to forgive specific
            royalties and other expenses associated with the license agreement
            contingent upon Hampton satisfactorily performing certain
            distribution and logistics functions for the Company, for a period
            of time.

NOTE 9 -          On April 30, 2001, the Company, through a wholly-owned
            subsidiary, acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed
            certain liabilities of Earl Jean, Inc. ("Earl Jean"), a privately
            held corporation. Earl Jean is a leading designer, manufacturer,
            wholesaler, retailer and marketer of luxury women's jeanswear and
            related apparel. The purchase price was $45,000 in cash, 1,122,271
            newly issued shares of the Company's restricted common stock (valued
            at $18,466) and an additional cash payment of approximately $1,800
            for excess working capital. Furthermore, additional consideration of
            up to $21,000 in cash may be earned if certain performance standards
            are met during fiscal 2003-2012. The source of the cash
            consideration was a combination of general corporate funds and
            short-term borrowings from under the Company's existing line of
            credit made in the ordinary course of business with certain banks.
            The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
            accounting for business combinations and the results of operations
            of Earl Jean have been recorded from the date of acquisition. The
            purchase price plus acquisition expenses were allocated to Earl
            Jean's assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value.
            The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of
            the net assets acquired of approximately $60,000 is being amortized
            on a straight-line basis over twenty years.

                  At June 2, 2001, the Company was still compiling certain
            information required to complete the allocation of the purchase
            price of Earl Jean. Further adjustments may arise as a result of the
            finalization of the ongoing review.

                  The following unaudited pro forma condensed results of
            operations reflect the acquisition of Earl Jean as if it had
            occurred on March 4, 2001 and March 5, 2000, respectively. The
            revenues and results of operations included in the following pro
            forma unaudited condensed statements of operations is not
            necessarily considered indicative of the results of operations for
            the periods specified had the transaction actually been completed at
            the beginning of the period.

NOTE 11 -         In April 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
            Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-25,
            "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a
            Reseller of the Vendor's Products." This issue addresses the
            recognition, measurement and income statement classification of
            consideration from a vendor to a customer in connection with the
            customer's purchase or promotion of the vendor's products. While the
            impact of this consensus on the Company's consolidated financial
            statements is still being evaluated, it is expected to only impact
            revenue and expense classifications and not change reported net
            income. In accordance with the consensus reached, the Company will
            adopt the required accounting beginning in the first quarter of the
            year ending March 3, 2003.

                  In May 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
            established a transition provision in association with their review
            of accounting standards relating to business combinations previously
            issued within the Exposure Drafts, "Business Combinations and
            Intangible Assets" in 1999 and subsequently reissued in February
            2001 as "Business Combinations and Intangible Assets - Accounting
            for Goodwill." Among other rules stated within the transition
            provision, non-calendar year end companies with a year end after
            December 15, 2001 will be required to continue to amortize goodwill
            and other related intangible assets until the beginning of their
            fiscal year that begins in 2002. At the transition date, goodwill
            will no longer be amortized, but will be tested for impairment
            annually, and any impairment charge resulting from the initial
            application of the new rules will be classified as a cumulative
            change in accounting principle. The Company is currently reviewing
            the proposed literature and will assess any potential impact of the
            final statement when it is issued in late July 2001.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (unaudited)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

For the Three Months Ended June 2, 2001:

         Net sales increased 11.5% to $135.2 million in the three months ended
June 2, 2001 from $121.3 million in the comparable prior year period. The
increase in sales is due primarily to increased unit volume rather than price
increases. The reported sales reflect an 11.3% increase in the Wholesale segment
to $105.0 million from $94.3 million and a 12.0% increase in the Retail segment
to $30.2 million from $26.9 million. The growth in the Wholesale segment was
driven by sales in certain new product lines, including Earl Jean, Nautica
Childrenswear, John Varvatos and Nautica Women's Jeans and was offset in part by
the discontinuation of the Nautica Sport Tech ("NST") brand. Excluding NST brand
products for the three months of both the current and prior year periods,
Wholesale segment sales would have increased 15.1%. The overall Retail segment
sales increase is primarily a result of sales from twelve new outlet stores and
two full-price stores opened since the first quarter of last year. Same store
sales for the quarter were down slightly from the comparable prior year period,
reflecting the difficult retail environment and reduced customer traffic this
Spring season.

         Gross profit for the period was 42.7% compared to 41.3% in the
comparable prior year period. The increase is due primarily to a concerted
effort from the Company's operating teams to better source the products, and the
impact of higher margins on certain new product lines, such as Earl Jean.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased by $7.9
million to $55.3 million in Fiscal 2002 from $47.4 million in Fiscal 2001. SG&A
expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 40.9% in Fiscal 2002 from
39.1% in Fiscal 2001. The increase in the percentage of net sales is principally
due to increased costs associated with the continued construction of the
Company's new distribution facility which, once functional, will reduce the cost
to store, process and ship inventory. Additionally, costs associated with the
introduction of the Company's new icon and integration of new businesses
contributed to the increase.

         Net royalty income increased by $.5 million to $2.3 million from $1.8
million in the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily due to
the recognition of a settlement from the termination of the men's footwear
license. In addition, part of the increase was a result of the strength in men's
fragrance, eyewear and home products. The increase was offset, in part, by the
termination of the childrenswear license, as the Company assumed operations of
the Nautica childrenswear business internally during the current year period.

         Investment income decreased to $.3 million from $.6 million in the
comparable prior year period. The decrease is due to lower average cash balances
as a result of the cash paid for the acquisition of Earl Jean. Increased
inventory levels and working capital needs, particularly to support the
Company's new businesses, also contributed to the lower average cash balances.

         The provision for income taxes decreased to 37.8% from 38.8% of
earnings before income taxes in the comparable prior year period. The decrease
is due primarily to a reduction in the effective state income tax rates.

         Net earnings of $3.2 million were comparable to $3.1 million in the
prior year period as a result of the factors discussed above. Looking ahead, the
Company is refining its expansion strategy in Europe to focus its efforts on
core markets and scale back operations in less profitable countries, the result
of which may be a charge to earnings of approximately $.04 - $.05 per share in
the second quarter of fiscal 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

         During the three months ended June 2, 2001, the Company generated cash
from operating activities of $8.0 million principally from net earnings. The
increase in inventory of $16.7 million, to support increased sales levels, was
financed principally by cash generated from net earnings and a decrease of $21.4
million in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable was 30.8% higher than the
same period in the prior year due to increased sales from our new businesses and
stores, and the timing of shipments, with a higher percentage occurring in the
last part of the quarter. Inventory was 43.4% higher than the same period in the
prior year due primarily to increased sales and the timing of merchandise
received to support the new businesses and stores. During the three months ended
June 3, 2000, the Company generated cash from operating activities of $25.1
million, principally from net earnings and higher cash receipts from increased
sales in the fourth quarter of the prior year. The increase in inventory of
$13.3 million, to support increased sales levels, was financed principally by
cash generated from net earnings, increases in accounts payable-trade and a
decrease in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable and inventory were higher
than the same period in the prior year by 16.7% and 4.5%, respectively. These
increases were related to sales increases.

         During the three months ended June 2, 2001, the Company's principal
investing activities related primarily to the acquisitions of Earl Jean, Inc.
and the Nautica childrenswear business, the purchase of property, plant and
equipment for the Nautica in-store shop program, the continued construction of a
new distribution facility and the completion of a new full-price retail store in
New York's Rockefeller Plaza. The Company expects to continue to incur capital
expenditures to expand the in-store shop program, and to open additional retail
stores. The Company is currently evaluating various financing vehicles for the
new distribution facility. At June 2, 2001, there were no other material
commitments for capital expenditures.

         The Company has a total of $175.0 million in lines of credit with four
commercial banks available for short-term borrowings and letters of credit.
These lines are collateralized by imported inventory and accounts receivable. At
June 2, 2001 and March 3, 2001, letters of credit outstanding under the lines
were $95.4 million and $58.6 million, respectively. At June 2, 2001, there was
$35.0 million of short-term borrowings outstanding.

         Historically, the Company has experienced its highest level of sales in
the second and third quarters and its lowest level in the first and fourth
quarters due to seasonal patterns. In the future, the timing of seasonal
shipments may vary by quarter. The Company anticipates that internally generated
funds from operations, existing cash balances, short-term investments and the
Company's existing credit lines will be sufficient to satisfy its cash
requirements.

INFLATION AND CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS
-----------------------------------

         The Company believes that inflation and the effect of fluctuations of
the dollar against foreign currencies have not had a material effect on the cost
of imports or the Company's results of operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
-----------------------------

         In April 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging
Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-25, "Vendor Income
Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's
Products." This issue addresses the recognition, measurement and income
statement classification of consideration from a vendor to a customer in
connection with the customer's purchase or promotion of the vendor's products.
While the impact of this consensus on the Company's consolidated financial
statements is still being evaluated, it is expected to only impact revenue and
expense classifications and not change reported net income. In accordance with
the consensus reached, the Company will adopt the required accounting beginning
in the first quarter of the year ending March 3, 2003.

         In May 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board established a
transition provision in association with their review of accounting standards
relating to business combinations previously issued within the Exposure Drafts,
"Business Combinations and Intangible Assets" in 1999 and subsequently reissued
in February 2001 as "Business Combinations and Intangible Assets - Accounting
for Goodwill." Among other rules stated within the transition provision,
non-calendar year end companies with a year end after December 15, 2001 will be
required to continue to amortize goodwill and other related intangible assets
until the beginning of their fiscal year that begins in 2002. At the transition
date, goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will be tested for impairment
annually, and any impairment charge resulting from the initial application of
the new rules will be classified as a cumulative change in accounting principle.
The Company is currently reviewing the proposed literature and will assess any
potential impact of the final statement when it is issued in late July 2001.

FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
-----------------------------------------

         Certain statements in this Form 10-Q and in future filings by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press
releases, and in oral statements made by or with the approval of authorized
personnel constitute "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the
Company's current expectations of future events and are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company's actual results to differ
materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Should one or
more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
anticipated, estimated or projected. These factors and uncertainties include,
among others: the risk that the businesses of the Company and Earl Jean will not
be integrated successfully; the overall level of consumer spending on apparel;
dependence on sales to a limited number of large department store customers;
risks related to extending credit to customers; actions of existing or new
competitors and changes in economic or political conditions in the markets where
the Company sells or sources its products; risks associated with consolidations,
restructuring and other ownership changes in the retail industry; changes in
trends in the market segments in which the Company competes; risks associated
with uncertainty relating to the Company's ability to launch, support and
implement new product lines in the United States and Europe; effects of
competition; changes in the costs of raw materials, labor and advertising; and,
the ability to secure and protect trademarks and other intellectual property
rights. These and other risks and uncertainties are disclosed from time to time
in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a
result of new information or future events or developments.

ITEM 3:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Disclosure about interest rate risk

         The Company has no long-term debt, and finances capital needs through
available capital, future earnings and bank lines of credit. The Company's
exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates are primarily in its
investment portfolio and short-term borrowings. The Company, pursuant to
investing guidelines, mitigates exposure by limiting maturity, placing
investments with high credit quality issuers and limiting the amount of credit
exposure to any one issuer. During the three months ended June 2, 2001, the
Company earned investment income of $.3 million. If interest rates had been 1%
lower than they were during the period, investment income would have been $.1
million lower. The market risks associated with the investment portfolio
exposure have not changed materially since March 3, 2001.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

                  On April 30, 2001, the Company, through a wholly-owned
         subsidiary, acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed
         certain of the liabilities of Earl Jean, Inc. for a combination of cash
         consideration of $45,000,000, 1,122,271 shares of restricted common
         stock of the Company, a working capital adjustment of approximately
         $1,800,000 and up to $21,000,000 in contingent payments if certain
         performance targets are met between fiscal 2003 and 2012. The issuance
         of such shares was exempt from registration pursuant to the Company's
         reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the
         Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
