PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

VF Corporation ("Corporation"), through its operating subsidiaries,
has designed, manufactured and marketed apparel principally in five business
groups: Jeanswear, Casual/Sportswear, Intimate Apparel, International and Other
Apparel. Organized in 1899, the Corporation oversees the operations of its
subsidiaries, providing them with financial and administrative resources. The
management of each operating company is independent and is responsible for the
growth and development of its business, within guidelines established by
corporate management.

Information regarding the sales and profitability of each of the five
business groups over the past year and working capital requirements is included
in pages 9 to 20, 24, 25 and 27 of the Corporation's Annual Report to
Shareholders for its fiscal year ended January 1, 1994 ("1993 Annual Report"),
which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Jeanswear

The Lee and the Wrangler divisions operating in the United States are the
principal components of the Jeanswear business group. Lee manufactures
jeanswear and casual bottoms sold principally under its LEE(R) trademark.
During 1993, Lee successfully introduced the RIDERS brand of jeans and
casualwear. Wrangler manufactures jeanswear primarily under its WRANGLER(R)
and RUSTLER(R) trademarks. Wrangler also offers a line of shirts to complement
its jeanswear products. Lee and Wrangler offer a line of cotton casual pants
and shirts under the LEE CASUALS(R) AND TIMBER CREEK BY WRANGLER(R) brands.

The Girbaud division is the third component of the Jeanswear business
group. The Corporation, through its Girbaud division, uses the MARITHE &
FRANCOIS GIRBAUD(R) label in the United States to market branded fashion jeans
and casual apparel. The MARITHE & FRANCOIS GIRBAUD(R) label is currently under
license arrangements through 1997, subject to a single 5 year renewal term.
Substantially all Girbaud products are manufactured by independent contractors
and are sold primarily to upscale department and specialty stores.

According to industry data, approximately 425 million pairs of jeans made
of denim, twill, corduroy and other fabrics were sold in the United States in
1993. This same data indicates that the Corporation currently has the largest
combined share of this market at approximately a 30% share, with the
RUSTLER(R), LEE(R) and WRANGLER(R) brands having the second, third and fourth
largest shares of the jeans market in the United States, respectively.

Raw materials, consisting mainly of fabrics made from cotton and blends of
cotton and synthetics, are purchased from several suppliers against scheduled
production and are fabricated into garments in the Lee and Wrangler
manufacturing plants. Management did not experience difficulty in obtaining
materials to meet production needs during 1993.

In 1993, the Lee division repositioned its LEE(R) brand products by
marketing solely through department and specialty stores. The RIDERS brand is
now sold through the mass merchant and discount store channels. The Wrangler
division markets its WRANGLER(R) westernwear through western
specialty stores and its other WRANGLER(R) brand products primarily





-3-
4
through discount stores. The RUSTLER(R) brand is a high quality, lower priced
brand marketed to large national discount chains. Both Lee and Wrangler
maintain sales offices and showrooms in key cities across the United States.
Sales of Lee and Wrangler products are generally made directly to retailers
through full-time salespersons. Sales of the Jeanswear business group are
slightly higher in the second half of the year.

Lee and Wrangler advertise on television and radio and in various consumer
and trade publications. They also participate in cooperative advertising in
radio, television and various print media. Point-of-sale advertising is used
by Lee, Wrangler and Girbaud.

Casual/Sportswear

Bassett-Walker is one of the nation's largest manufacturers of knitted
fleecewear. Operations are vertically integrated and include the entire
process of converting cotton yarn into finished garments. In December 1993,
Bassett-Walker sold its two yarn manufacturing plants to a major textile
company and entered into a long-term agreement to purchase yarn from that
company. Previously, Bassett-Walker had produced the majority of its yarn
requirements. Additional yarn is available from numerous outside sources.

Sales of Bassett-Walker garments are seasonal, with approximately
two-thirds of its sales occurring during the second half of the year.
Principal customers are national chain and department stores, discount stores,
wholesalers and garment screen printing operators. In 1993, more than 70% of
Bassett-Walker's volume was knitted fleecewear and T-shirts marketed under the
LEE(R) and RIDERS labels. Products are also manufactured for private label
customers. Sales are made by an in-house staff of salespersons throughout the
United States. See "Recent Developments".

Jantzen designs, manufactures and markets an extensive line of men's and
women's quality swimwear and sportswear, including sweaters and coordinated
tops and bottoms, primarily under the JANTZEN(R) trademark. A significant
portion of Jantzen's products are manufactured by independent contractors.
Jantzen uses purchased yarn for its sweater manufacturing operations. For
other products, purchased fabric is manufactured into finished garments.
Management anticipates no difficulty in obtaining raw materials.

Jantzen products are sold primarily to department and specialty stores
through its sales staff. Jantzen also manufactures and markets its products in
Canada, and the JANTZEN(R) trademark is licensed to other companies in several
foreign countries.

JanSport purchases fleeced casualwear and T-shirts to imprint with college
logos for distribution through college bookstores. JanSport also manufactures
JANSPORT(R) brand daypacks sold through college bookstores and department and
sporting goods stores and JANSPORT(R) backpacking/mountaineering gear sold
primarily through outdoor and sporting goods stores.

Intimate Apparel

Vanity Fair produces body fashions, daywear, sleepwear and loungewear.
Vanity Fair knits most of its fabric from cotton, polyester, nylon and
LYCRA(R)* yarn purchased generally from E.I. duPont DeNemours & Co. Lace and
trim are purchased from outside sources. Vanity Fair anticipates no difficulty
in obtaining its material requirements.

The Vanity Fair division manufactures products under the VANITY FAIR(R)
label for domestic department and specialty stores. In recent years, an
increasing amount of sales have been of VASSARETTE(R) brand products sold
through discount stores and products sold to private label customers. Vanity
Fair sells most of its products through its own sales force with sales offices
located in various cities. The VANITY FAIR(R) brand name is licensed in
several foreign countries.

In July 1991, the Corporation acquired the BARBIZON(R) brand of intimate
apparel and its chain of leased retail stores. Barbizon is known for its woven
sleepwear and loungewear products.

International

With the Corporation's expansion in the European apparel markets,
international operations have been reported as a separate business group since
1992. The International business group consists of Lee and Wrangler jeanswear
operations, primarily in Europe, and the recently acquired intimate apparel
operations, primarily in France and Spain.

LEE(R) and WRANGLER(R) jeanswear and other casual products are
manufactured and marketed by wholly owned subsidiaries in European department
and specialty stores. In recent years, Lee and Wrangler have expanded their
European presence by establishing new subsidiaries, replacing certain licensee
and distributor operations, and by introducing MAVERICK(R) branded jeanswear
marketed through discount stores.

Raw materials are purchased primarily from European suppliers and are
fabricated into garments in the Lee and Wrangler manufacturing plants in the
United Kingdom, Belgium, Malta and Poland. In addition, a portion of the
international jeanswear products are manufactured by independent contractors.
Management expects no difficulty in obtaining raw materials.

Internationally, jeanswear products are sold through the Lee and the
Wrangler sales forces and independent sales agents. Lee and Wrangler have
licensed their brand names for jeanswear products in foreign markets where they
do not have production or sales operations. Lee also participates in a joint
venture in Spain and Portugal.

In January 1992, the Corporation acquired the capital stock of The Valero
Group, and in December 1992, the Corporation acquired the capital stock of Jean
Bellanger Enterprises and of Vives Vidal, S.A. In December 1993, the
Corporation acquired the principal operating assets of Central Corsetera, S.A.
These companies manufacture and market women's intimate apparel for
distribution primarily in France in department and specialty stores under the
LOU, BOLERO and SILHOUETTE brand names and in discount stores under the
VARIANCE, CARINA and SILTEX brand names. In addition, intimate apparel is
manufactured and marketed in department and specialty stores primarily in
Spain under the GEMMA, INTIMA CHERRY and BELCOR brand names.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*LYCRA is the registered trademark of E.I.duPont DeNemours & Co. for its
spandex elastic yarn.





-5-
6
Raw materials are purchased primarily from European suppliers and are
fabricated into garments in manufacturing plants in France, Spain and Tunisia.
Management expects no difficulty in obtaining raw materials.

Other Apparel

Red Kap is a leading producer of occupational and career apparel sold
primarily under the RED KAP(R) label. To broaden its product offerings, Red
Kap acquired the WORKWEAR(TM) line of occupational apparel in November 1991.
Approximately 75% of Red Kap's sales are to industrial laundries that in turn
supply work clothes to employers, primarily on a rental basis, for on-the-job
wear by production, service and white-collar personnel. Products include work
pants, slacks, work and dress shirts, overalls, jackets and smocks. In
addition, Red Kap markets a line of work clothes nationally to retail stores
under the BIG BEN(R) brand name. Fabrics, primarily cotton and synthetic
blends, are purchased and manufactured into finished garments. Management
anticipates no difficulty in obtaining raw materials.

Because industrial laundries generally maintain minimal inventories of
work clothes, a supplier's ability to offer rapid delivery is an important
factor in this market. Red Kap's commitment to customer service has enabled
customer orders to be filled typically within 24 hours of receipt and has
helped to provide Red Kap with a significant share of the industrial laundry
rental business.

The Corporation in March 1991 acquired Healthtex, a leading manufacturer
and marketer of infant and children's apparel. Products marketed under the
HEALTHTEX(R) label are sold primarily to department and specialty stores
through its sales force. Healthtex products are manufactured from purchased
cotton and synthetic fabrics. Management anticipates no difficulty in
obtaining raw materials.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

In January 1994, the Corporation acquired in separate transactions Nutmeg
Industries, Inc. and H. H. Cutler Company for an aggregate consideration of
approximately $506.9 million.

Both of these companies design, manufacture and market imprinted sports
apparel under licenses granted by the four major American professional sports
leagues (Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the
National Football League and the National Hockey League) and most major
American colleges and universities. In addition, Cutler is one of the largest
youthwear apparel licensees of Walt Disney products and is the exclusive
licensee of Fisher-Price kidswear in the United States. Nutmeg's products are
sold primarily in department and specialty stores, and Cutler's products are
sold primarily through mass merchants.

The Corporation's Bassett-Walker division will supply a significant
portion of the fleece and T-shirt needs of both Nutmeg and Cutler.


OTHER MATTERS

Competitive Factors

Trademarks are of material importance to all of the Corporation's
operating subsidiaries and are protected by registration or otherwise in the
United States and most other markets where the related products are sold.





-6-
7
In addition, the Corporation uses the MARITHE & FRANCOIS GIRBAUD(R) label in
the United States under license arrangements through 1997, subject to a single
5 year renewal term.

The apparel industry is highly competitive and consists of a number of
domestic and foreign companies; some competitors have assets and sales greater
than those of the Corporation. In addition, the Corporation competes with a
number of firms that produce and distribute only a limited number of products
similar to those sold by the Corporation or sell only in certain geographic
areas being supplied by the Corporation.

A characteristic of the apparel industry is the requirement that a
manufacturer recognize fashion trends and adequately provide products to meet
such trends. Competitive advantage in the industry is obtained by
manufacturing better quality, market-responsive apparel and delivering to the
retailer on time and at lower cost. The Corporation is striving to achieve
this competitive edge with its Market Response System and proprietary FLOW
REPLENISHMENT SYSTEM(R). The FLOW REPLENISHMENT SYSTEM(R) is capable of
recording the sale of an individual garment from the point of sale to the
consumer, creating and processing all necessary documentation, and shipping the
exact garment sold so that it is back on the selling store's shelf generally
within seven days.

Employees

The Corporation employs approximately 62,000 men and women, of which
approximately 6,300 are covered by various collective bargaining agreements.
Employee relations are considered to be good.

Backlog

The dollar amount of backlog of orders believed to be firm as of the end
of the Corporation's fiscal year and as of the end of the preceding fiscal year
is not material for an understanding of the business of the Corporation taken
as a whole.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

The Corporation owns or leases under capital leases most of its facilities
used for manufacturing, distribution and administrative activities. Certain
other facilities are leased under operating leases that generally contain
renewal options.

Management believes all facilities and machinery and equipment are in good
condition and are suitable for the Corporation's needs. Manufacturing and
distribution facilities presently being utilized are summarized below for the
Corporation's business groups:


Square
Business Group Footage
----------------- ---------

Jeanswear 6,772,000
Casual/Sportswear 4,793,000
Intimate Apparel 1,819,000
International 1,863,000
Other Apparel 2,246,000


In addition, the Corporation owns or leases various administrative and office
space. The Corporation also owns or leases facilities having 2,590,000 square
feet of space that is used for factory outlet operations. Approximately 76% of
the factory outlet space is used for selling and warehousing the Corporation's
products, with the balance consisting of space leased to tenants and common
areas.

In June 1993, the Corporation completed the sale of certain factory outlet
locations for an aggregate consideration of $69 million. The





-7-
8
Corporation is leasing from the developer that portion of the space utilized
for sale of the Corporation's products. The sale of these assets resulted in
no significant gain or loss to the Corporation.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

There are no material legal proceedings or investigations pending or
threatened to which the Corporation or any of its operating companies is a
party or of which any of their property is the subject.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the text under the caption "Other Matters"
included in page 27 of the 1993 Annual Report is incorporated herein by
reference.

OTHER MATTERS
-------------

For purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules governing
Registration Statements on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, the
undersigned Corporation hereby undertakes as follows, which undertaking
shall be incorporated by reference into the Corporation's Registration
Statements on Form S-8 Nos. 33-26566 (filed January 12, 1989), 33-33621
(filed February 28, 1990) and 33-41241 (filed June 24, 1991):

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Corporation pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Corporation has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Corporation of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the Corporation will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
