To Our Clients:

     Enclosed is a Prospectus, dated          , 2003, of V.F. Corporation, a
Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"), and a related Letter of Transmittal
(which together constitute the "Exchange Offer") relating to the offer by the
Company to exchange its 6% Notes due October 15, 2033 (the "New Notes"),
pursuant to an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), for a like principal amount of its issued and
outstanding 6% Notes due October 15, 2033 (the "Old Notes") upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer.

     Please note that the Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on             , 2003, unless extended.

     The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum number of Old Notes
being tendered.

     We are the holder of record and/or participant in the book-entry transfer
facility of Old Notes held by us for your account. A tender of such Old Notes
can be made only by us as the record holder and/or participant in the
book-entry transfer facility and pursuant to your instructions. The Letter of
Transmittal is furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used by
you to tender Old Notes held by us for your account.

     We request instructions as to whether you wish to tender any or all of the
Old Notes held by us for your account pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the Exchange Offer. We also request that you confirm that we may on your behalf
make the representations contained in the Letter of Transmittal.




     Pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal, each holder of Old Notes will
represent to the Company that (i) the holder is not an "affiliate" of the
Company, (ii) any New Notes to be received by the holder are being acquired in
the ordinary course of its business, and (iii) the holder has no arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate in a distribution (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) of such New Notes. If the tendering holder is a
broker-dealer that will receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for
Old Notes, we will represent on behalf of such broker-dealer that the Old Notes
to be exchanged for the New Notes were acquired by it as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities, and acknowledge on behalf
of such broker-dealer that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such New
Notes. By acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus
meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of
such New Notes, such broker-dealer is not deemed to admit that it is an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.



                               Very truly yours,
