Exhibit 2


Letterhead of Holtzman Opportunity Fund



VIA FEDERAL EXPRESS
September 6, 2007
Mr. Chris Ryan
President & Chief Executive Officer
Lakeland Industries, Inc.
701 Koehler Avenue, Suite 7
Ronkonkoma, NY  11779


Dear Mr. Ryan:


The Holtzman Opportunity Fund, L.P. ("Fund") and I own, collectively, 395,661
shares of common stock of Lakeland Industries, Inc. (the "Company").  This
ownership represents approximately 7.2% of the common shares outstanding.
I have reviewed the operating and financial results of the Company for 2006
as well as the first two quarters of 2007.  Although the Company has
maintained a dominant position in its business niche, in my opinion,
the financial results have been extremely disappointing.  This year, the
Company's stock price is down approximately 14% while the NASDAQ is up 7.5%.
Furthermore, by its own admission, the Company's growth initiatives will
take years to be financially meaningful.

While I am disappointed in the results, I continue to believe that the
Company's assets are valuable and under-utilized.  It was for this reason
that I arranged the meeting for you this past May with a prominent investment
banking firm.  At that time, the investment banker indicated a "takeout value"
of $17-$22 per share.  To my knowledge, you have not even had the courtesy
to return a call to the investment banker.  As far as I am concerned, this
s empirical evidence that you do not intend to pursue an alternative that
may substantially increase shareholder value.

I believe that I speak for concerned shareholders when I urge you to hire
an investment banker to explore strategic alternatives.  Unfortunately, I
have no faith in the current Board of Directors' ability to oversee such a
process.  Previously, you refused our request to have a seat on the Board,
despite the fact that collectively, the Fund and I represent one of the largest
holdings in the Company.


Sincerely,



Seymour Holtzman
Fund Manager
