FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

West New York, NJ, November 13, 2003..............JACLYN, INC. (AMEX:JLN) today
reported financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2003.

Net Sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 were $29,896,000
compared to $29,945,000 for last year's first fiscal quarter. The Company
reported net earnings of $358,000, or $.13 per diluted share for the first

$.12 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2002.

Allan Ginsburg, Chairman of the Board reported, "This year's first fiscal
quarter reflects improvement in operating results compared to the same period
last year, primarily due to additional sales and profitability in our women's
sleepwear business." Mr. Ginsburg also stated, "In addition, we look forward to
another positive performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. While sales
in the second half of fiscal 2004 should be similar to the last six months of
fiscal 2003, as previously announced we anticipate a profitable fiscal year."
