                              FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

            HAMPSHIRE GROUP, LIMITED ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

         Anderson, SC, August 8, 2003...Hampshire Group, Limited (Nasdaq: HAMP)
today announced results for the quarter ended June 28, 2003. Net sales were
$31,961,000 compared with $31,536,000 for the same period last year. The Company
had a net loss of $952,000 or $0.20 per fully diluted share, compared with a net
loss of $523,000 or $0.11 per fully diluted share in the same period in 2002.

         For the six months ended June 28, 2003, net sales were $83,128,000
compared with $74,395,000 for the same period last year. Net income was $150,000
or $0.03 per fully diluted share, compared with a net income of $573,000 or
$0.12 per fully diluted share in the same period in 2002.

         Although the Company's sales were in line with expectations, gross
margin was negatively impacted by higher allowances granted to customers as a
result of a difficult and highly promotional retail market.

         Ludwig Kuttner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated "We are
entering what has consistently been the strongest part of our year with a
healthy open order position. While we remain encouraged about the balance of the
year, we are sensitive to the uncertain economic climate and difficult retail
environment and the impact they could have on our results. We continue to stay
focused on long-term goals and on maintaining our excellent relationships with
our retail partners."

        Hampshire Group, Limited is an apparel company whose principal products
are men's and women's sweaters and related separates. The Company's investment
subsidiary invests principally in commercial real estate, both domestically and
internationally.
