1133 Avenue of the Americas
New York, New York  10036

Gentlemen:

         Congress Financial Corporation ("Lender") and I.C. Isaacs & Company,
L.P. ("Borrower") have entered into certain financing arrangements pursuant to
the Accounts Receivable Financing Agreement [Security Agreement], dated June 16,
1992, by and between Lender and Borrower, (as amended, the "Accounts
Agreement"), the Covenant Supplement to Accounts Agreement between Lender and
Borrower, dated June 16, 1992 (as amended, the "Covenant Supplement") and all
other agreements, supplements, instruments and documents related thereto and
executed in connection therewith (collectively, all of the foregoing as the same
now exists or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended,
renewed, restated or replaced, the "Financing Agreements").

         Borrower has requested that Lender waive certain defaults and amend the
Financing Agreements as herein provided. Subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, Lender is willing to waive such defaults and agree to such
amendment to the extent set forth herein. By this Amendment, Lender and Borrower
desire and intend to evidence such waiver and amendment.

         In consideration of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1.     DEFINITIONS.

         1.1    AMENDMENTS TO DEFINITIONS.

                (a) All references to the term "Financing Agreements" in the
Accounts Agreement shall be deemed and each such reference is hereby amended to
include, in addition and not in limitation, this Amendment, and all other
agreements, documents and instruments at any time executed and/or delivered by
Borrower or any other person in connection with any of the foregoing, as the
same now exist or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended,
renewed, restated, or replaced.

                (b) Effective as of the date hereof, the existing Section 1.17
of the Covenant Supplement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following
is substituted therefor:

<PAGE>

                      "1.17 "Net Worth" shall mean, as to any Person at any
                      time, in accordance with GAAP, the amount equal to the
                      difference between: (i) the aggregate net book value of
                      all assets of such Person, calculating the book value of
                      inventory for this purpose on a first-in-first-out basis,
                      after deducting from such book values all approximate
                      reserves (including all reserves for doubtful receivables,
                      bad debts, obsolescence, depreciation and amortization),
                      MINUS the amount of the aggregate net book value of all
                      common and preferred stock of such Person issued for any
                      consideration (including reduction of Indebtedness) other
                      than cash and cash equivalents, and (ii) the aggregate
                      Indebtedness of such Person (including tax and other
                      proper accruals)."

         1.2 INTERPRETATION. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the other Financing Agreements, unless otherwise
defined herein. All references to the plural herein shall also mean the singular

cash unless otherwise required by the context of the use thereof.

         2.     NET WORTH REQUIREMENT

         2.1 Any default under Section 4.13 of the Covenant Supplement (Net
Worth) prior to the date hereof shall be and is hereby waived.

         2.2 Effective as of the date hereof, the existing Section 4.13 of the
Covenant Supplement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is
substituted therefor:

                      been indefeasibly paid in full, maintain a Net Worth of
                      not less than (a) $27,000,000 until and including June 30,

                      from October 1, 2000 and at all times thereafter."

continuing representations, warranties and covenants heretofore or hereafter
made by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Financing Agreements, Borrower hereby
represents, warrants and covenants with and to Lender as follows (which

execution and delivery hereof and shall be incorporated into and made a part of

                Re: NINETEENTH AMENDMENT TO FINANCING AGREEMENTS

Gentlemen:

         Reference is made to the Accounts Financing Agreement [Security
Agreement] between Congress Financial Corporation ("Congress") and I.C. Isaacs &
Company L.P. ("Borrower") dated as of June 16, 1992, as amended (the "Accounts
Agreement") and all supplements thereto, and all other agreements, documents and
instruments related thereto and executed in connection therewith (collectively,
all of the foregoing, as the same now exist or may hereafter be further amended,
modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, the "Financing
Agreements"). Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein,
shall have the meaning set forth in the Financing Agreements.

         Borrower has requested certain modifications to the Financing
Agreements and Congress is willing to agree to such modifications, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein.

         In consideration of the foregoing, and the mutual agreements and
covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration,
Borrower and Congress hereby agree as follows:

         1. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Amendment, unless otherwise
defined herein, all terms used herein, including, but not limited to, those
terms used and/or defined in the recitals hereto, shall have the respective
meanings assigned to such terms in the other Financing Agreements.

         2.     SUPPLEMENTAL LOANS.

                (a) In addition to the loans and advances which may be made by
Congress to Borrower pursuant to the lending formulas set forth in the Financing
Agreements, upon the request of Borrower made at any time and from time to time
during the period from the date hereof to August 30, 2000, Congress shall,
subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Financing Agreements, make
supplemental loans to Borrower in such amounts from time to time as Congress
shall in good faith determine, in its discretion, of up to $450,000 in excess of
the amounts otherwise available to Borrower under the lending formulas set forth
in the Financing Agreements, as calculated by Congress (the "Supplemental
Loans").

<PAGE>

                (b) The Supplemental Loans shall be secured by all Collateral
and shall be payable ON DEMAND. In any event, unless sooner demanded by
Congress, all outstanding and unpaid obligations arising pursuant to the
Supplemental Loans (including, but not limited to, principal, interest, fees,
costs and expenses) shall automatically, without notice or demand, be absolutely
and unconditionally due and payable in cash or other immediately available funds
on August 31, 2000.

                (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the outstanding balance of
the Supplemental Loans at any time shall not exceed five (5%) percent of the
lower of cost or market value of Eligible Inventory at such time.

         3. AMENDMENT FEE. In consideration of the foregoing, Borrower agrees to
pay Lender an amendment fee of $10,000, which shall be fully earned on the date
herof and due and payable on the date of execution hereof. Such fee may be
charged by Lender to the Loan account of Borrower maintained by Lender.

         4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. The effectiveness of the amendments to the
Financing Agreements provided for herein shall only be effective upon the
satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent in a manner
satisfactory to Congress:

                 (a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and no event shall have occurred or condition be existing and continuing which,
with notice or passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default;
and

                 (b) Congress shall have received, in form and substance
satisfactory to Congress, an original of this Amendment, duly authorized,
executed and delivered by Borrower, Robert Arnot and Eugene Wielepski.

         5. EFFECT AND ENTIRETY OF THIS AGREEMENT. Except as specifically
modified pursuant hereto, no other exchanges or modifications to the Financing
Agreements are intended or implied and, in all other respects, the Financing
Agreements are hereby ratified and confirmed by the parties hereto as of the
date hereof. This Amendment represents and incorporates the entire understanding
and agreements of the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein and
the parties hereto agree that there are no representations, warranties,
covenants or understandings of any kind, nature or description whatsoever made
by Congress to Borrower with respect to this Amendment, except as specifically
set forth herein. This Amendment represents the final agreement between the
parties as to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted by evidence
or prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.

         6. WAIVER, MODIFICATION, ETC. No provision or term hereof may be
modified, altered, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an
instrument in writing executed by the party against whom such modification,
alteration, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

         7. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties hereto shall execute and deliver
such additional documents and take such additional action as may be necessary to

                                      -2-

counterparts which, taken together, shall constitute the agreement of the
parties.
