                                 AMENDMENT NO. 1
                                     TO THE
                             R. G. BARRY CORPORATION
                          SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN
                            EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1997

         WHEREAS, R. G. Barry Corporation (the "Sponsor") adopted the R. G.
Barry Corporation Supplemental Retirement Plan, as amended and restated (the
"Plan"), effective January 1, 1997; and

         WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5.06 of the Plan, the Sponsor may amend
the Plan from time to time; and

         WHEREAS, the Sponsor desires to amend certain death benefit provisions
of the Plan;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended in the following respects:

         1. Paragraph (c) of Section 4.06 shall be deleted in its entirety and
the following shall be substituted therefor:

         "(c)     If a Participant who is eligible for an Early Retirement
                  Benefit under the Base Plan dies while employed by an
                  Employer, but before he elects to receive such Early
                  Retirement Benefit, his surviving spouse, if any, shall be
                  entitled to a death benefit beginning on the first day of the
                  month following the Participant's date of death. The death
                  benefit under this paragraph (c) shall be equal to the same
                  benefit that would have been payable to such surviving spouse
                  if the Participant had elected, on the day before his death,
                  to receive his Early Retirement Benefit under this Plan in the
                  form of an immediate annuity for the life of the Participant
                  with a survivor annuity for the life of the spouse equal to
                  100% of the amount of the annuity payable during the life of
                  the Participant. No death benefit shall be payable under this
                  paragraph (c) if a Participant who is eligible for an Early
                  Retirement Benefit, but dies prior to electing to receive such
                  benefit, does not have a surviving spouse on the date of his
                  death."

         2. Paragraph (d) of Section 4.06 shall be deleted in its entirety and
the following shall be substituted therefor:

         "(d)     If a Participant, whose accrued benefit under the Base Plan is
                  fully vested, dies while employed by an Employer, his
                  surviving spouse, if any, shall be entitled to a death benefit
                  beginning on the date the deceased Participant's Deferred
                  Vested Benefit under the Plan would have begun. The death
                  benefit under this paragraph (d) shall be equal to the same
                  benefit that
<PAGE>   2
                  would have been payable to such surviving spouse if the
                  Participant had terminated his employment on the day before
                  his death and elected to receive his Deferred Vested Benefit
                  under this Plan in the form of an immediate annuity for the
                  life of the Participant with a survivor annuity for the life
                  of the spouse equal to 100% of the amount of the annuity
                  payable during the life of the Participant. No death benefit
                  shall be payable under this paragraph (d) if a Participant,
                  whose accrued benefit under the Base Plan is fully vested,
                  dies while employed by an Employer, but does not have a
                  surviving spouse on the date of his death."

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this amendment
effective as of May 12, 1998.

         WHEREAS, R. G. Barry Corporation ("Company") maintains the "R. G. Barry

as may be subsequently amended (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), for the

                  Section 4.4, Matching Amount, of the Plan shall be deleted in
                  its entirety, and the following new Section 4.4 shall be
                  substituted therefor:

                  4.4 MATCHING AMOUNT

                  For each Plan Year, each Employer shall allocate a Matching
                  Amount on behalf of each Participant who has elected to defer
                  a Salary Deferral Amount or Bonus Deferral Amount for the Plan
                  Year. The Matching Amount shall equal 50 percent of the Salary
                  Deferral Amount deferred by a Participant for each payroll
                  period; provided, however, that the maximum Matching Amount
                  shall not exceed one and one-half percent of the Participant's

                  Amount shall equal 50 percent of the Bonus Deferral Amount
                  deferred by a Participant; provided, however, that the maximum
                  Matching Amount for a Plan Year, including the Matching Amount
                  attributable to the Salary Deferral Amount, shall not exceed
                  one and one-half percent of the Participant's annual base
                  salary. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Maximum
                  Matching Amount for the Plan Year
<PAGE>   2
                  ending December 31, 1997, including the Matching Amount
                  attributable to the Salary Deferral Amount, shall not exceed
                  the sum of (a) one percent of the Participant's annual base
                  salary for January and February 1997 and (b) one and one-half
                  percent of the Participant's annual base salary for March
                  through December 1997. Matching Amounts to be allocated on
                  behalf of a participant for any Plan Year shall be determined
                  in reference to each payroll period within such Plan Year and
                  to the date when the Bonus earned during the Plan Year would
                  be paid if no deferral election applied.
