            JACLYN, INC. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER
            --------------------------------------------------------


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
---------------------

West New York, NJ, November 14, 2005.....................JACLYN, INC. (AMEX:JLN)
today reported financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2005.

Net Sales for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 were $29,248,000
compared to $35,805,000 for last year's first fiscal quarter. The Company
reported net earnings of $146,000, or $.06 per diluted share, for the first
quarter ended September 30, 2005. This compares to net earnings of $865,000, or
$.32 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2004.

Allan Ginsburg, Chairman of the Board, reported "As anticipated and previously
reported, this year's first fiscal quarter reflects lower sales and earnings
results compared to the same period last year, primarily due to several programs
which were not repeated this year by one of our larger women's sleepwear
customers, and partly attributable to the timing of certain shipments." Mr.
Ginsburg also stated, "While we look forward to a positive performance for the
second fiscal quarter, we anticipate that the second half of fiscal 2006 will be
challenging in light of a number of factors, including the unknown impact of
higher energy costs on consumer spending."

Note: This press release contains forward-looking statements that are being made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. The Company's actual performance and results may vary as a
result of a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, both foreseen and
unforeseen, including general economic and business conditions, competition in
the accessories and apparel markets, continuing favorable sales patterns,
pricing and consumer buying trends. Additional uncertainty exists for the
potential negative impact that a recurrence of Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome
("SARS") may have on our business relative to production in the Far East and
other countries in which we operate.
