                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Participants and Administrator of the
VF Corporation Tax-Advantaged Savings Plan for Salaried Employees

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the VF Corporation Tax-Advantaged Savings Plan for Salaried Employees (the
"Plan") at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the three years in the period ended December
31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets
(held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management.
The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

        VF CORPORATION TAX-ADVANTAGED SAVINGS PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A -- DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

VF Corporation (the Corporation) sponsors the VF Corporation Tax-Advantaged
Savings Plan for Salaried Employees (the Plan), which is a cash or deferred plan
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Plan, certain
salaried employees of specified subsidiaries may elect to contribute between 2%
and 15% of their compensation to the Plan (highly compensated employees are
limited to 10%). The Corporation matches employee contributions by 50% for up to
6% of compensation contributed by the employee. Employees remain fully vested in
their contributions to the Plan. The Corporation's matching contributions are
vested monthly on a pro rata basis, with full vesting after five years of
service or upon normal retirement, disability or death.

The Plan includes an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). In 1990, the ESOP
purchased 2,105,263 shares of VF Corporation 6.75% Series B ESOP Convertible
Preferred Stock (ESOP Preferred Stock) for $65.0 million. Each share of ESOP
Preferred Stock, which has a redemption value of $30.875 plus cumulative accrued
dividends, is convertible into 1.6 shares of VF Corporation Common Stock and is
entitled to two votes. The trustee for the ESOP may convert the ESOP Preferred
Stock to Common Stock at any time or may cause the Corporation to redeem the
ESOP Preferred Stock under certain circumstances. The ESOP Preferred Stock also
has preference in liquidation over all other stock issues. The Corporation's
matching contributions, all of which go into the ESOP, are allocated to
employees in shares of ESOP Preferred Stock. Of the shares of ESOP Preferred
Stock owned by the ESOP, 1,420,338 shares in 2001 and 1,312,345 shares in 2000
have been allocated to employees.

The ESOP's purchase of the ESOP Preferred Stock was funded by a loan of $65.0
million from the Corporation that bears interest at 9.8%. The loan will be
repaid in increasing installments through 2002 from future minimum Corporation
matching contributions to the ESOP and dividends on the ESOP Preferred Stock.
The Corporation's minimum required matching contributions and dividends are $3.0
million in 2002. The loan will be repaid in 2002.

 NOTE A -- DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)


Individual accounts are maintained for each participant; each account includes
the individual's contributions, Corporation matching contributions and
investment funds' earnings. Accounts become payable upon retirement, disability,
death or termination of employment. Participants may also withdraw all or a
portion of their accounts by filing a written request that demonstrates
financial hardship. Participants may elect to receive distributions in a lump
sum or in an annuity, or accounts may be rolled over into another IRS-approved
tax deferral vehicle. Forfeitures are used to reduce VF Corporation's obligation
to pay plan expenses.

The transfers of applicable participant balances from the Bestform Savings Plan,
Todd Uniform and Horace Small Savings Plans, which were merged into the Plan in
2000, have been disclosed separately in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Benefits.

Participants may borrow from their individual account. Participants are charged
interest at the Morgan Guaranty "Published" prime rate at the time of the loan
and repay the principal within 60 months, or 120 months if the loan is for the
purchase of their primary residence. Participants may borrow up to 50% of the
participant's total vested account balance, but may not borrow from the
Corporation matching portion. Payment in full is required at termination of
employment. There were 3,152 loans outstanding at December 31, 2001.

Although it has no intent to do so, the Corporation may terminate the Plan in
whole or in part at any time. In the event of termination, participants become
fully vested in their accounts.

NOTE B -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Investments are stated at fair value. Securities traded on a national securities
exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of
the plan year. The ESOP Preferred Stock is stated at fair value, based on the
greater of 160% of the fair value of the Corporation's Common Stock or the
preferred stock's stated redemption price of $30.875 per share. The fair value
of the participation units owned by the Plan in mutual funds and bank common
trust funds is based on quoted redemption values on the last business day of the
Plan year. Purchases and sales of securities, including gains and losses
thereon, are recorded as of the trade date. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its
investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on those investments. Realized gains or losses are
calculated on an average cost basis.

Administrative expenses consisting primarily of fees for legal, accounting and
other services are paid by the Corporation in accordance with the Plan.

Payment of Benefits: Benefits are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates: In preparing financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that
affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties: The Plan provides for various mutual fund investment
options in stocks, bonds and fixed income securities. Investments are exposed to
various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of
risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty
related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least
reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially
affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statements
of net assets available for plan benefits and the statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits.

NOTE C -- INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has issued a Favorable Determination Letter dated
January 16, 1996 stating that the Plan qualifies under the appropriate sections
of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is, therefore, not subject to tax under
present income tax law. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in
conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The VF Corporation
Pension Plan Committee is not aware of any action or series of events that have
occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status. The Plan has
been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan
administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently
designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the IRC.
