Exhibit 23.3


                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


Board of Directors and Shareholders
VF Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of income, cash flows,
and common shareholders' equity for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.
Our audit also included the financial statement schedule (as it pertains to
1994) as listed in the Index at Item 14(a).  These financial statements and
schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of
VF Corporation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic 1994
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.
