<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We were first incorporated in
Nevada in 2001 under the name Gusana Explorations Inc.&#160; In June&nbsp;of 2003, our Company acquired
Guru Denim,&nbsp;Inc. (Guru Denim), a private, California corporation.&#160; Following the acquisition of Guru Denim, we
changed our name to True Religion Apparel,&nbsp;Inc. and reincorporated in
Delaware in 2005.&#160; We currently design,
market, distribute, and sell apparel under the brand name &#147;True Religion Brand
Jeans&#148; to fashion-conscious consumers on six continents, including North
America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and South America.&#160; We seek to be a trend setting leader in the
design, marketing, distribution and sale of fashion jeans and related
sportswear apparel.&#160; Our products can be
categorized as denim, knit and non-denim, and most come in &#145;tops&#146; and &#145;bottoms&#146;.&#160; Knit styles include hoodies, t-shirts and sweats,
and non-denim fabrics include corduroy and twill.&#160; Tops range from shirts to jackets, and
bottoms encompass pants, shorts and skirts.&#160;
We operate in four distinct but integrated segments: U.S. Wholesale,
International, Consumer Direct and Other, which includes licensing
activity.&#160; Our Consumer Direct segment
consists of branded retail stores and e-commerce sales.&#160; The business segments share product design,
manufacturing and marketing resources.&#160;
During the past six years we have developed a recognizable brand,
expanded vertically into the Consumer Direct segment, expanded our product
offerings, and initiated a strategy to leverage our brand by entering into
product licensing agreements.</font></p>

industry trade shows and by entering into sales agency or distribution
agreements with independent agents, each of whom is granted rights to market
and sell our products in a defined market or territory.&#160; We have agreements with international
distributors and sales agents covering more than 50 countries on six
continents.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;page-break-after:avoid;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our performance is subject to worldwide
economic conditions and their impact on levels of consumer spending that affect
not only the ultimate consumer, but also retailers, our largest direct
customers.&#160; Consumer spending recently
has deteriorated significantly and may remain depressed, or be subject to
further deterioration for the foreseeable future.&#160; The worldwide apparel industry is heavily
influenced by general economic cycles.&#160;
Purchases of high-fashion apparel and accessories tend to decline in
periods of recession or uncertainty regarding future economic prospects, as
disposable income declines.&#160; Many factors
affect the level of consumer spending in the apparel industries, including,
among others: prevailing economic conditions, levels of employment, salaries
and wage rates, energy costs, interest rates, the availability of consumer
credit, taxation and consumer confidence in future economic conditions.&#160; During periods of recession or economic
uncertainty, we may not be able to maintain or increase our sales to existing
customers, make sales to new customers, open and operate new retail stores, maintain
sales levels at our existing stores, maintain or increase our international
operations on a profitable basis, or maintain our earnings from operations as a
percentage of net sales.&#160; As a result,
our operating results may be adversely and materially affected by downward
trends in the United States or global economy.&#160;
Furthermore, in anticipation of continued increases in net sales, we
have significantly expanded our infrastructure and workforce.&#160; Because these expenses are fixed in the short
term, our operating results and margins will be adversely impacted if we do not
continue to grow as anticipated.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our success depends in large part on our
ability to develop, market and deliver innovative and stylish products that are
consistent with and build on our brand and image at a pace and intensity
competitive with our competition.&#160; The
novelty and the design of our True Religion Brand Jeans apparel is critical to
our success and competitive position.&#160;
The apparel industry is subject to rapidly evolving fashion trends and
shifting consumer demands. If we are unable to continue to develop and offer
unique products to our customers, our sales and margins will decline and we may
be faced with a significant amount of unsold finished goods inventory.&#160; We cannot be certain that high-fashion denim
and related apparel will continue to be fashionable.&#160; Should the trend steer away from high-fashion
denim and related apparel, our sales could decrease and our business could be
adversely affected. In addition, our future designs and plans to expand our
product offerings may not be successful, and any unsuccessful designs or
product offerings could adversely affect our business.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our success to
date has been due in large part to the growth of our brand image.&#160; If we are unable to timely and appropriately
respond to changing consumer demand, our brand name and brand image may be
impaired.&#160; Even if we react appropriately
to changes in consumer preferences, consumers may consider our brand image to
be outdated or associate our brand with styles that are no longer popular.&#160; In the past, many apparel companies have
experienced periods of rapid growth in sales and earnings followed by periods
of declining sales and losses.&#160; Our
business may be similarly affected in the future.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We face intense
competition in the apparel industry from other established companies.&#160; A number of our competitors may have
significantly greater financial, technological, manufacturing, sales, marketing
and distribution resources than we do. Their greater capabilities in these
areas may enable them to better withstand periodic downturns in the apparel
industry, compete more effectively on the basis of price and production and
more quickly develop new products.&#160; In
addition, there are low barriers of entry into this industry and new companies
may enter the markets in which we compete, further increasing competition in
the industry.&#160; Our branded retail stores
compete with many other retailers, including department stores, some of whom
are our major wholesale customers.&#160; We
believe that our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of
factors, including the style and quality of our products and the strength of
our brand name, as well as many factors beyond our control.&#160; We may not be able to compete successfully in
the future, and increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced
profit margins, loss of market share and an inability to generate cash flows
that are sufficient to maintain or expand our development and marketing of new
products, which would adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.</font></p>

fabrics used in our business are cotton, blends, synthetics and wools.&#160; The prices we pay our suppliers for our
products are dependent in part on the market price for raw materials&#151;primarily
cotton&#151;used to produce them.&#160; The price
and availability of cotton may fluctuate substantially, depending on a variety
of factors, including demand, crop yields, weather, supply conditions,
transportation costs, work stoppages, government regulation, economic climates
and other unpredictable factors. Increases in raw material costs, together with
other factors, will make it difficult for us to sustain the wholesale gross
margin level we have achieved in recent years and result in a decrease of our
profitability unless we are able to pass higher prices on to our wholesale and
retail customers. Moreover, any decrease in the availability of cotton could
impair our ability to meet our production requirements in a timely manner.</font></p>

our brand image, the market success of our current and future products, the success

future growth.&#160; Future growth may place a
significant strain on our management and operations.&#160; As we continue to grow in our operations, our
operational, administrative, financial and legal procedures and controls will
need to be expanded.&#160; As a result, we may

maintain an inventory of certain products that we anticipate will be in greater
demand.&#160; However, we may be unable to
sell the products we have ordered in advance from manufacturers or that we have

excess of customer demand may result in inventory write-downs, and the sale of
excess inventory at discounted prices could significantly impair our brand
image and have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial

upon, among other factors, the identification of suitable markets and sites for
store locations, the negotiation of acceptable lease terms, the hiring,
training and retention of competent sales personnel, and making capital
expenditures for these stores.&#160; We must
also offer a broad product assortment, appropriately manage retail inventory
levels, install and operate effective retail systems, execute effective pricing
strategies and integrate our stores into our overall business mix.&#160; An increase in the number of branded
company-operated stores will place increased demands on our operational,
managerial and administrative resources and require us to further develop our
retailing skills and capabilities.&#160; These
increased demands could cause us to operate our business less effectively,
which in turn could cause deterioration in the financial performance of our
existing stores.&#160; The commitments
associated with our expansion will increase our operating expenses and may be
costly to terminate, and these investments may be difficult to recapture if we
decide to close a store or change our strategy.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our dependence on
contract manufacturing could subject us to difficulty in obtaining timely
delivery of products of acceptable quality.&#160;
A manufacturer&#146;s failure to ship products to us in a timely manner or to
meet our quality standards could cause us to miss the delivery date
requirements of our wholesale customers.&#160;
In addition, any interference with our ability to receive shipments from
those manufacturers, such as conditions at ports or issues that otherwise
affect transportation and warehousing providers, could cause delayed delivery
of product.&#160; Additionally, if we
experience a significant increase in demand, or if we need to replace any of
the manufacturers that we currently use, we may have to expand our third party
manufacturing capacity.&#160; We cannot assure
you that this capacity will be available to us, or available on terms that are
acceptable to us.&#160; Failing to make timely
deliveries may cause our customers to cancel orders, refuse to accept
deliveries, impose non-compliance charges through invoice deductions or other
charge-backs, demand reduced prices or reduce future orders, any of which could
harm our sales and margins.</font></p>

property rights on a worldwide basis.&#160;
Despite any precautions we may take to protect our intellectual

expensive and time consuming, and we may be unable to adequately protect our
intellectual property or determine the extent of any unauthorized use,
particularly in those foreign countries where the laws do not protect
proprietary rights as fully as in the United States.&#160; Our efforts to establish and protect our

adequate to prevent imitation or counterfeiting of our products by others or to
prevent others from seeking to block sales of our products for violating their

copying of our products or unauthorized use of our trademarks or other
proprietary rights may not only erode sales of our products but may also cause
significant damage to our brand names and our ability to effectively represent
ourselves to our customers.&#160; Also, we
cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of,
trademarks and other proprietary rights of True Religion, that our proprietary
rights would be upheld if challenged or that we would, in that event, not be
prevented from using our trademarks, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.&#160; Further, we could incur substantial costs in
legal actions relating to our use of intellectual property or the use of our

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our quarterly sales and operating results
have varied significantly in the past and can be expected to fluctuate in the
future due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control.&#160; For example, sales of our products have
historically been somewhat seasonal in nature with the largest sales generally
occurring in the second half of the year.&#160;
Delays in scheduling or pickup of products by our wholesale customers could
negatively impact our net sales and results of operations for any given
quarter.&#160; The timing of new store
openings and the amount of sales contributed by new stores could also impact
our net sales and results of operations for any given quarter.&#160; We have granted restricted stock awards with
a portion that immediately vested or vested in the near future in the first
quarter of 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the fourth quarter of 2006.&#160; The compensation expense for the awards that
vest immediately caused an increase in our selling, general and administrative
expenses and reduced our net income and earnings per share in our quarterly
income statements.&#160; Also, our annualized
tax rate is based on projections of our operating results for the year, which
we review and revise as necessary at the end of each quarter.&#160; Any quarterly fluctuations in our annualized
tax rate that may occur could have a material impact on our quarterly operating
results.&#160; As a result of these specific
and other general factors, our operating results will likely vary from quarter
to quarter and the results for any particular quarter may not be necessarily
indicative of results for the full year.&#160;
Any shortfall in sales or net income from levels expected by securities
analysts and investors could cause a decrease in the trading price of our
common stock.</font></p>

public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

than the payment by the registrant 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
registrant 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.</font></p>

This registration
statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") is (i) a new
registration statement, and (ii) a Post-Effective Amendment No. 4 to
True Religion Apparel, Inc.'s (the "Registrant") registration statement on
Form S-8 (File No. 333-128663), as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on September 29, 2005, as amended
(the "Prior Registration Statement"). 
Pursuant to the Prior Registration Statement, shares of the Registrant's
Common Stock were registered for issuance under the True Religion Apparel, Inc.
2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan").
(1)
Estimated solely for the purpose of determining the
  registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) and (h) under the
  Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on average of the high and low
  price of Registrant's common stock reported on the NASDAQ Global Market on
  July 23, 2009.
(2)
This Registration Statement registers 1,000,000
  shares of Common Stock issuable under the Registrant's Amended and Restated
  2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan"). In addition, this Registration
  Statement registers up to 601,360 shares of Common Stock which were
  previously registered under the Prior Registration Statement for offer or
  sale under the Prior Plan and which may be offered or sold under the 2009
  Plan (the "Carried Forward Shares"). In addition, pursuant to
  Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this
  Registration Statement registers such indeterminate number of additional
  shares of Registrant's common stock that become issuable under the 2009 Plan
  by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other
  similar transaction.
(3)
The Carried Forward Shares were previously
  registered under the Prior Registration Statement. As a result, no filing fee
  with respect to those shares is required in accordance with Interpretation 89
  under Section G of the Securities and Exchange Commission Division of
  Corporate Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations
  (July 1997) ("Interpretation 89"). The Post-Effective Amendment to the
  Prior Registration Statement is filed here to reallocate the Carried Forward
  Shares from the Prior Registration Statement and to carry over the
  registration fees paid for the Carried Forward Shares from the Prior
  Registration Statement. In accordance with Interpretation 89, the
  registration fee allocable to the Carried Forward Shares paid in connection
  with the Prior Registration Statement of $1,058.20 is carried over in this
  Registration Statement.

PROSPECTUS
1,601,360 Shares of Common Stock
This reoffer prospectus relates to 1,601,360
shares of common stock (the "Shares") of True Religion Apparel, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), which may be offered for sale from time
to time by stockholders who may acquire Shares under the Amended and Restated
2009 Equity Incentive Plan.  The Company
will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock pursuant
to this reoffer prospectus.
You should carefully read this reoffer
prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement before you make your
investment decision.  The Shares offered
hereby may be sold from time to time directly by, or on behalf of, each selling
stockholder in one or more transactions on the Nasdaq Global Market or on any
stock exchange on which our common stock may be listed at the time of sale, in
privately negotiated transactions, or through a combination of such methods, at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing
market prices, at fixed prices (which may be changed) or at negotiated
prices.  We are paying the expenses
incurred in registering the selling stockholders' Shares, but all selling and
other expenses incurred by each of the selling stockholders will be borne by
that stockholder.
Each selling stockholder and any broker
executing selling orders on behalf of a selling stockholder may be deemed to be
an underwriter as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").  Any commissions paid to
broker-dealers and, if broker-dealers purchase any of the Shares as principals,
any profits received by such broker-dealers on the resale of the Shares, may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. In
addition, any profits realized by the selling stockholders may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions.
Our common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share, is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "TRLG."  The
last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on July 23,
2009, was $23.70 per share.
The common stock offered pursuant to this
prospectus involves risk.  For more
information please see the section of this prospectus titled "Risk Factors,"
beginning on page 3.

COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF

prospectus, including "Risk Factors," and the information incorporated by
reference in this prospectus, including our financial statements and related
notes thereto, before you decide whether to invest in our common stock.  Unless otherwise indicated in this prospectus
or the context otherwise requires, all references in this prospectus to "True
Religion," the "Company," "us," "our" or "we" are to True Religion Apparel, Inc.
and its consolidated subsidiaries.
TRUE RELIGION APPAREL, INC.
We were first incorporated in
Nevada in 2001 under the name Gusana Explorations Inc.  In June of 2003, our Company acquired
Guru Denim, Inc. (Guru Denim), a private, California corporation.  Following the acquisition of Guru Denim, we
changed our name to True Religion Apparel, Inc. and reincorporated in
Delaware in 2005.  We currently design,
market, distribute, and sell apparel under the brand name "True Religion Brand
Jeans" to fashion-conscious consumers on six continents, including North
America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and South America.  We seek to be a trend setting leader in the
design, marketing, distribution and sale of fashion jeans and related
sportswear apparel.  Our products can be
categorized as denim, knit and non-denim, and most come in 'tops' and 'bottoms'.  Knit styles include hoodies, t-shirts and sweats,
and non-denim fabrics include corduroy and twill.  Tops range from shirts to jackets, and
bottoms encompass pants, shorts and skirts. 
We operate in four distinct but integrated segments: U.S. Wholesale,
International, Consumer Direct and Other, which includes licensing
activity.  Our Consumer Direct segment
consists of branded retail stores and e-commerce sales.  The business segments share product design,
manufacturing and marketing resources. 
During the past six years we have developed a recognizable brand,
expanded vertically into the Consumer Direct segment, expanded our product
offerings, and initiated a strategy to leverage our brand by entering into
product licensing agreements.
We market and distribute our
products into the U.S. Wholesale and International segments by attendance at
industry trade shows and by entering into sales agency or distribution
agreements with independent agents, each of whom is granted rights to market
and sell our products in a defined market or territory.  We have agreements with international
distributors and sales agents covering more than 50 countries on six
continents.
Our products are sold in the
United States in leading national premium stores, including Bloomingdale's,
Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and in approximately 706 boutique
and specialty stores.  Our U.S. sales
agent, L'Atelier, presents our collections at their showrooms in Los Angeles
and New York.  Through our network of
international distributors and sales agents, our products are sold
internationally at boutiques and specialty stores in major cities throughout
Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East.
We also sell our products
through our Consumer Direct division in our own branded retail stores and
through our True Religion Brand Jeans website, which is operated for us by a
third party.
Our common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share, which we refer to in this prospectus as the common stock,
trades on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "TRLG."  Our
principal offices are located at 2263 E. Vernon Avenue, Vernon,
California 90058.  Our phone number at that address is
(323) 266-3072.  Our Internet address is

RISK FACTORS
Risks
Relating to Our Industry
Our business may be negatively impacted by general economic
conditions and the current global financial crisis.
Our performance is subject to worldwide
economic conditions and their impact on levels of consumer spending that affect
not only the ultimate consumer, but also retailers, our largest direct
customers.  Consumer spending recently
has deteriorated significantly and may remain depressed, or be subject to
further deterioration for the foreseeable future.  The worldwide apparel industry is heavily
influenced by general economic cycles. 
Purchases of high-fashion apparel and accessories tend to decline in
periods of recession or uncertainty regarding future economic prospects, as
disposable income declines.  Many factors
affect the level of consumer spending in the apparel industries, including,
among others: prevailing economic conditions, levels of employment, salaries
and wage rates, energy costs, interest rates, the availability of consumer
credit, taxation and consumer confidence in future economic conditions.  During periods of recession or economic
uncertainty, we may not be able to maintain or increase our sales to existing
customers, make sales to new customers, open and operate new retail stores, maintain
sales levels at our existing stores, maintain or increase our international
operations on a profitable basis, or maintain our earnings from operations as a
percentage of net sales.  As a result,
our operating results may be adversely and materially affected by downward
trends in the United States or global economy. 
Furthermore, in anticipation of continued increases in net sales, we
have significantly expanded our infrastructure and workforce.  Because these expenses are fixed in the short
term, our operating results and margins will be adversely impacted if we do not
continue to grow as anticipated.
Our continued operations depend on current fashion trends.
If our designs and products do not continue to be fashionable, our business
could be adversely affected.
Our success depends in large part on our
ability to develop, market and deliver innovative and stylish products that are
consistent with and build on our brand and image at a pace and intensity
competitive with our competition.  The
novelty and the design of our True Religion Brand Jeans apparel is critical to
our success and competitive position. 
The apparel industry is subject to rapidly evolving fashion trends and
shifting consumer demands. If we are unable to continue to develop and offer
unique products to our customers, our sales and margins will decline and we may
be faced with a significant amount of unsold finished goods inventory.  We cannot be certain that high-fashion denim
and related apparel will continue to be fashionable.  Should the trend steer away from high-fashion
denim and related apparel, our sales could decrease and our business could be
adversely affected. In addition, our future designs and plans to expand our
product offerings may not be successful, and any unsuccessful designs or
product offerings could adversely affect our business.

Our business and the success of our products could be harmed
if we are unable to maintain our brand image.
Our success to
date has been due in large part to the growth of our brand image.  If we are unable to timely and appropriately
respond to changing consumer demand, our brand name and brand image may be
impaired.  Even if we react appropriately
to changes in consumer preferences, consumers may consider our brand image to
be outdated or associate our brand with styles that are no longer popular.  In the past, many apparel companies have
experienced periods of rapid growth in sales and earnings followed by periods
of declining sales and losses.  Our
business may be similarly affected in the future.
We face intense competition, including competition from
companies with significantly greater resources than ours, and if we are unable
to compete effectively with these companies, our market share may decline and
our business could be harmed.
We face intense
competition in the apparel industry from other established companies.  A number of our competitors may have
significantly greater financial, technological, manufacturing, sales, marketing
and distribution resources than we do. Their greater capabilities in these
areas may enable them to better withstand periodic downturns in the apparel
industry, compete more effectively on the basis of price and production and
more quickly develop new products.  In
addition, there are low barriers of entry into this industry and new companies
may enter the markets in which we compete, further increasing competition in
the industry.  Our branded retail stores
compete with many other retailers, including department stores, some of whom
are our major wholesale customers.  We
believe that our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of
factors, including the style and quality of our products and the strength of
our brand name, as well as many factors beyond our control.  We may not be able to compete successfully in
the future, and increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced
profit margins, loss of market share and an inability to generate cash flows
that are sufficient to maintain or expand our development and marketing of new
products, which would adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
Increases in the price of raw materials or their reduced
availability could increase our cost of goods and decrease our profitability.
The principal
fabrics used in our business are cotton, blends, synthetics and wools.  The prices we pay our suppliers for our
products are dependent in part on the market price for raw materials—primarily
cotton—used to produce them.  The price
and availability of cotton may fluctuate substantially, depending on a variety
of factors, including demand, crop yields, weather, supply conditions,
transportation costs, work stoppages, government regulation, economic climates
and other unpredictable factors. Increases in raw material costs, together with
other factors, will make it difficult for us to sustain the wholesale gross
margin level we have achieved in recent years and result in a decrease of our
profitability unless we are able to pass higher prices on to our wholesale and
retail customers. Moreover, any decrease in the availability of cotton could
impair our ability to meet our production requirements in a timely manner.
Risks
Related to Our Business
We may be unable to sustain our past growth or manage our
future growth, which may have a material adverse effect on our future operating
results.
We have
experienced rapid growth since our inception, and have increased our net sales
from $27.7 million in 2004 to $270.0 million in 2008. We anticipate that our
future growth rate will depend upon various factors, including the strength of
our brand image, the market success of our current and future products, the success
or our growth strategies, competitive conditions and our ability to manage our
future growth.  Future growth may place a
significant strain on our management and operations.  As we continue to grow in our operations, our
operational, administrative, financial and legal procedures and controls will
need to be expanded.  As a result, we may
need to train and manage an increasing number of employees, which could
distract our management team from our business. Our future success will depend
substantially on the ability of our management team to manage our anticipated
growth.  If we are unable to anticipate
or manage our growth effectively, our future operating results could be
adversely affected.

Our business could be harmed if we fail to maintain proper
inventory levels.
We place orders
with our manufacturers for some of our products prior to the time we receive
all of our customers' orders.  We do this
to minimize purchasing costs, the time necessary to fill customer orders and
the risk of non-delivery.  We also
maintain an inventory of certain products that we anticipate will be in greater
demand.  However, we may be unable to
sell the products we have ordered in advance from manufacturers or that we have
in our inventory.  Inventory levels in
excess of customer demand may result in inventory write-downs, and the sale of
excess inventory at discounted prices could significantly impair our brand
image and have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial
condition.  Conversely, if we
underestimate consumer demand for our products or if our manufacturers fail to
supply the quality products that we require at the time we need them, we may
experience inventory shortages. 
Inventory shortages might delay shipments to customers, negatively
impact retailer and distributor relationships, and diminish brand loyalty.
Increasing the number of branded company-operated stores
will require us to develop new capabilities and increase our expenditures.
Our growth
strategy is dependent in part on our ability to open and operate new stores and
the availability of suitable store locations on acceptable terms.  Although we operated 42 branded retail stores
as of December 31, 2008, we historically have been primarily a
wholesaler.  We plan to open
approximately 25 company-operated branded retail and outlet stores in
2009.  The success of this strategy is dependent
upon, among other factors, the identification of suitable markets and sites for
store locations, the negotiation of acceptable lease terms, the hiring,
training and retention of competent sales personnel, and making capital
expenditures for these stores.  We must
also offer a broad product assortment, appropriately manage retail inventory
levels, install and operate effective retail systems, execute effective pricing
strategies and integrate our stores into our overall business mix.  An increase in the number of branded
company-operated stores will place increased demands on our operational,
managerial and administrative resources and require us to further develop our
retailing skills and capabilities.  These
increased demands could cause us to operate our business less effectively,
which in turn could cause deterioration in the financial performance of our
existing stores.  The commitments
associated with our expansion will increase our operating expenses and may be
costly to terminate, and these investments may be difficult to recapture if we
decide to close a store or change our strategy.
We must successfully maintain and/or upgrade our information
technology systems.
We rely on various
information technology systems to manage our operations, which subjects us to
inherent costs and risks associated with maintaining, upgrading, replacing and
changing these systems, including impairment of our ability to fulfill customer
orders, potential disruption of our internal control structure, substantial capital
expenditures, demands on management time and other risks of delays or
difficulties in upgrading, transitioning to new systems or of integrating new
systems into our current systems.
We are in the
process of replacing our current wholesale merchandise and financial management
information systems with a system that is intended to improve integration,
efficiency and operations of our expanding business model.  We are aware of inherent risks associated
with replacing these systems, including accurately capturing data and system
disruptions, and believe we are taking appropriate action to mitigate the risks
through testing, training and staging implementation as well as ensuring
appropriate commercial contracts with third-party vendors supplying replacement
technologies are in place.  We cannot
assure you that we will be able to successfully implement this new system, as
planned or that they will occur without disruptions to operations. Information
technology system disruptions, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated,
could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
We rely on contract manufacturing of our products. Our
inability to secure production sources meeting our quality, cost, working
conditions and other requirements, or failures by our contractors to perform,
could harm our sales, service levels and reputation.
We source our
products from independent manufacturers who purchase fabric and other raw
materials.  As a result, we must locate
and secure production capacity.  We
depend on independent manufacturers to maintain adequate financial resources,
secure a sufficient supply of raw materials, and maintain sufficient
development and
5
Table

manufacturing capacity in
an environment characterized by continuing cost pressure and demands for
product innovation and speed-to-market. 
In addition, we do not have material long-term contracts with any of our
independent manufacturers, and these manufacturers generally may unilaterally
terminate their relationship with us at any time.
Our dependence on
contract manufacturing could subject us to difficulty in obtaining timely
delivery of products of acceptable quality. 
A manufacturer's failure to ship products to us in a timely manner or to
meet our quality standards could cause us to miss the delivery date
requirements of our wholesale customers. 
In addition, any interference with our ability to receive shipments from
those manufacturers, such as conditions at ports or issues that otherwise
affect transportation and warehousing providers, could cause delayed delivery
of product.  Additionally, if we
experience a significant increase in demand, or if we need to replace any of
the manufacturers that we currently use, we may have to expand our third party
manufacturing capacity.  We cannot assure
you that this capacity will be available to us, or available on terms that are
acceptable to us.  Failing to make timely
deliveries may cause our customers to cancel orders, refuse to accept
deliveries, impose non-compliance charges through invoice deductions or other
charge-backs, demand reduced prices or reduce future orders, any of which could
harm our sales and margins.
Our success depends on the continued protection of our
trademark and other proprietary intellectual property rights.
Our trademark and
other intellectual property rights are important to our success and competitive
position, and the loss of or inability to enforce trademark and other
proprietary intellectual property rights could harm our business.  We devote substantial resources to the
establishment and protection of our trademark and other proprietary intellectual
property rights on a worldwide basis. 
Despite any precautions we may take to protect our intellectual
property, policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult,
expensive and time consuming, and we may be unable to adequately protect our
intellectual property or determine the extent of any unauthorized use,
particularly in those foreign countries where the laws do not protect
proprietary rights as fully as in the United States.  Our efforts to establish and protect our
trademark and other proprietary intellectual property rights may not be
adequate to prevent imitation or counterfeiting of our products by others or to
prevent others from seeking to block sales of our products for violating their
trademarks and proprietary rights.  Unauthorized
copying of our products or unauthorized use of our trademarks or other
proprietary rights may not only erode sales of our products but may also cause
significant damage to our brand names and our ability to effectively represent
ourselves to our customers.  Also, we
cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of,
trademarks and other proprietary rights of True Religion, that our proprietary
rights would be upheld if challenged or that we would, in that event, not be
prevented from using our trademarks, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  Further, we could incur substantial costs in
legal actions relating to our use of intellectual property or the use of our
intellectual property by others.  Even if
we are successful in these actions, the costs we incur could have a material
adverse effect on us.
Our business could suffer from the financial instability of
our customers.
In the United
States, we sell our products to certain retail companies on open account with
30 to 60 day payment terms.  We prefer a
standby letter of credit or wire transfer before shipment to our foreign
distributors, but these arrangements are not always possible.  Customer financial difficulties could result
in losses to us.
A significant disruption at our distribution center could
have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results
.
We primarily rely on a single distribution
center located at our corporate offices in Vernon, California to receive, store
and distribute merchandise to all of our stores and wholesale customers.  Any significant interruption in the operation
of our Vernon distribution center due to natural disasters, accidents, system
failures or other unforeseen causes could have a material adverse effect on our
business and operating results.

Our ability to conduct business in international markets may
be affected by legal, regulatory, political and economic risks.
We expect our
international operations to increase, and consequently we may face the
possibility of lower profits or future losses from a number of risks inherent
in doing business in international markets and from a number of factors which
are beyond our control.  These factors
include, among other things:
·
political instability or acts of
terrorism, which disrupt trade with the countries in which our contractors,
suppliers or customers are located;
·
difficulties in managing our foreign
operations;
·
adoption of additional or revised quotas,
restrictions or regulations relating to imports or exports;
·
additional or increased customs duties,
tariffs, taxes and other charges on imports;
·
increased difficulty in protecting our
intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions;
·
social, legal or economic instability in
the foreign markets in which we do business, which could influence our ability
to sell our products in these international markets; and
·
restrictions on the transfer of funds
between the United States and foreign jurisdictions.
Foreign currency fluctuations could adversely impact our
financial condition and results of operations
.
We generally purchase our products in U.S.
dollars.  However, we may source more of
our products overseas.  As a result, the
cost of these products may be affected by changes in the value of the
applicable currencies.  Changes in
currency exchange rates may also affect the U.S. dollar value of the foreign
currency denominated prices at which our international business will sell
products.  Furthermore, our international
sales and some of our licensing revenue are generally derived from sales in
foreign currencies.  This revenue, when
translated into U.S. dollars for consolidated reporting purposes, could be
materially affected by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, negatively
impacting our results of operations and our ability to generate revenue growth.
The loss of our Chief Executive Officer or other key
management personnel would have an adverse impact on our future development and
could impair our ability to succeed.
Our performance is
substantially dependent upon the expertise of our Chief Executive Officer,
Jeffrey Lubell, and other key management personnel.  Mr. Lubell spends all of his working
time on our Company's business.  It may
be difficult to find qualified individuals to replace Mr. Lubell or other
key management personnel if we were to lose any one or more of them.  The loss of Mr. Lubell or any of our key
management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business,
development, financial condition, and operating results.  We do not maintain "key man" insurance with
respect to Mr. Lubell or any of our other key management personnel, and
any of them may leave us at any time, which could severely disrupt our business
and future operating results.
Our licensees may not comply with our product quality,
manufacturing standards, marketing and other requirements.
We license our
trademarks to third parties for manufacturing, marketing and distribution of
various products.  While we enter into
agreements with our licensees covering product design, product quality,
sourcing, manufacturing, marketing and other requirements, our licensees may
not comply fully with those agreements. 
Non-compliance could include marketing products under our brand names
that do not meet our quality and other requirements or engaging in
manufacturing practices that do not meet our standards.  These activities could harm our brand equity,
our reputation and our business.

Table
of Contents
Violation of labor laws and practices by our licensees or
suppliers could harm our business.
We require our
suppliers and licensing partners to operate in compliance with applicable laws
and regulations. While our code of conduct promotes ethical business practices,
we do not control our suppliers or licensees or their labor practices.  The violation of labor or other laws by any
of our suppliers or licensees, or divergence of a supplier's or licensee's
labor practices from those generally accepted as ethical in the United States,
could interrupt or otherwise disrupt the shipment of our products, harm the
value of our trademarks, damage our reputation or expose us to potential
liability for their wrongdoings.
Our quarterly sales and operating results fluctuate as a
result of a variety of factors, including seasonal fluctuations in demand for
premium denim and related apparel, and accessories, delivery date delays,
timing of new store openings, recognition of stock-based compensation and
potential fluctuations in our annualized tax rate, which may result in
volatility of our stock price.
Our quarterly sales and operating results
have varied significantly in the past and can be expected to fluctuate in the
future due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control.  For example, sales of our products have
historically been somewhat seasonal in nature with the largest sales generally
occurring in the second half of the year. 
Delays in scheduling or pickup of products by our wholesale customers could
negatively impact our net sales and results of operations for any given
quarter.  The timing of new store
openings and the amount of sales contributed by new stores could also impact
our net sales and results of operations for any given quarter.  We have granted restricted stock awards with
a portion that immediately vested or vested in the near future in the first
quarter of 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and the fourth quarter of 2006.  The compensation expense for the awards that
vest immediately caused an increase in our selling, general and administrative
expenses and reduced our net income and earnings per share in our quarterly
income statements.  Also, our annualized
tax rate is based on projections of our operating results for the year, which
we review and revise as necessary at the end of each quarter.  Any quarterly fluctuations in our annualized
tax rate that may occur could have a material impact on our quarterly operating
results.  As a result of these specific
and other general factors, our operating results will likely vary from quarter
to quarter and the results for any particular quarter may not be necessarily
indicative of results for the full year. 
Any shortfall in sales or net income from levels expected by securities
analysts and investors could cause a decrease in the trading price of our
common stock.

Indemnification of Directors and

Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") empowers a corporation to indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against

expenses (including attorneys' fees)
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he
or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of
the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
he or she acted in any of the capacities set forth in the paragraph above,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the
court in which action or suit was brought will determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court will deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that to the extent that a present or
former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he or she will be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection therewith; that indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 will not be deemed exclusive of
any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of
expenses may be entitled, both as to action in his or her official capacity and
as to action in another capacity while holding such office; and empowers the
corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him
or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her
against such liabilities under Section 145.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a certificate of
incorporation may include a provision which eliminates or limits the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the company or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174
of the DGCL, relating to prohibited dividends or the unlawful purchase or
redemption of stock, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derives an improper personal benefit.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws (i) eliminate the
personal liability of our directors and (ii) provide for the indemnification
of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
In addition, we have purchased insurance pursuant to which our
directors and officers are insured against liability which they may incur in
their capacity as such.

Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
registration statement.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424 (b) if, in the aggregate, the changes
in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however
, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
II-3
Table
of Contents
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of this offering; and
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration
statement will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers or controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant 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 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the registrant 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
registrant 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
