Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

         On January 3, 2005, Hartmarx Corporation (the "Company") amended its
$200 million senior revolving credit facility, originally entered into
effective August 30, 2002. The amendment, between the Company and a syndicate
of lenders, including Congress Financial Corporation (Central), as Agent, JP
Morgan Chase Bank, as Syndication Agent, and Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, as
Documentary Agent, amends the credit facility in certain respects by, among
other things: extending the term of the credit facility from February 28, 2006
to February 28, 2009; reducing the spread in excess of either LIBOR or the
prime rate as the benchmark rate based on the level of excess availability;
and lowering the annualized rate applicable to outstanding letters of credit.
The Company retains the right to renew the credit facility for an additional
year, i.e., through February 28, 2010, upon written notice to the Agent, given
on or before November 30, 2008.

         The effect on interest rates is to lower the Company's interest rate
spread by 75 basis points for LIBOR borrowings and 25 basis points on prime
rate borrowings. Interest rates on the credit facility continue to be based on
a spread in excess of LIBOR or prime as the benchmark rate and on the level of
excess availability. In addition, the annualized rate on outstanding letters
of credit, pursuant to the credit facility's $50 million sub-facility, was
reduced by 25 basis points.

         On January 5, 2005, the Company issued the press release attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
