ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

                  On September 6, 1996, Supreme International Corporation
("Supreme") consummated the acquisition of certain assets (the "Assets") of
Munsingwear, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Munsingwear"), related to
Munsingwear's business of designing, sourcing, producing and distributing shirts
and other apparel products to retailers and professional golf shops utilizing
various trademarks and trade names (the "Business"). The acquisition was
consummated pursuant to the terms of a May 22, 1996 Purchase and Sale Agreement
(the "Agreement") between Supreme and Munsingwear, a 110 year-old men's apparel
manufacturer. The Assets acquired by Supreme pursuant to the Agreement consisted
primarily of trade names; customer lists and records; rights under license
agreements; advertising materials; archives and disks; the name "Munsingwear";
business records; copyrights and sourcing rights.

                  The purchase price for the Assets was approximately $18.4
million (the "Purchase Price") which was paid in full at closing. The Purchase
Price was determined as a result of negotiations between Supreme and 
Munsingwear. The acquisition was financed from borrowings under Supreme's
existing revolving credit facility with NationsBank, N.A.

                  At closing, Supreme also entered into a license agreement with
Munsingwear, which changed its name to Premium Wear, pursuant to which Supreme
granted Munsingwear the right to use certain of the former Munsingwear
trademarks in connection with Munsingwear's manufacture, marketing and sale of
certain apparel products, including certain knit shirt products and pant
products, through the advertising specialty incentive market, specialty
distributor market and uniform market. The license expires with respect to knit
shirt products on September 6, 2016, and with respect to pant products on
September 6, 2001.

                  The foregoing summary of the acquisition is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is included as an
exhibit to Supreme's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April
30, 1996 and incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

                  (b)      Pro-forma financial information.

Item, these materials will be filed on or before November 20, 1996, which date
