POWER OF ATTORNEY

     Know all by these presents, that I, RAE F. EVANS, hereby constitute
and appoint each of David M. Tehle, John Feray, Marc W. Joseph and Steven D.
Davidson, signing singly, as my true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:
(1)  Execute for me and on my behalf, in my capacity as an officer and/or
     director of Haggar Corp. (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4, and 5 with
     respect to the beneficial ownership of securities of the Company in
     accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
     and the rules thereunder;

(2)  Do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
     which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such
     Form 3, 4, or 5, complete and execute any amendment or amendments
     thereto, and timely file such form with the United States Securities
     and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

(3)  Take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
     foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of
     benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required by the
     undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by such
     attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power of
     Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
     conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
     attorney-in-fact's discretion.

     The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power
and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever
requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the
rights and powers granted above, as fully to all intents and purposes as the
undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power of
substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such
attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes,
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this power of attorney
and the rights and powers herein granted. The undersigned acknowledges that
the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request
of the undersigned, are not assuming any of the undersigned's
responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.

     This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to
the beneficial ownership of securities of the Company, unless earlier
revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing
attorneys-in-fact and the Company.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney
to be executed as of this 2nd of April, 2003.

                                        /s/ Rae F. Evans
