This study provides trended information based on a similar survey fielded in 2001and 2003. The survey was administered to a nationally representative sample of NPD online panelists age 13+ from February 1 to February 14, 2006, reflecting the annual 2005 recall period. Individuals who indicated that their household never purchased men’s casual sportswear were excluded from the study. Because so many women are involved in purchasing men’s clothing, both men and women were asked about their awareness, purchase and perceptions of key men’s sportswear brands. In order to acquire a readable sample base of upper income households, the survey was also administered to a nationally representative sample of NPD panelists age 13+ with household incomes of $100,000 or more. Both sample groups were weighted individually to match current U.S. Census projections. Charts for the upper income and big & tall buyer groups are provided but are not analyzed against the general population in this report. 3 Background & Methodology Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 Summary of Sample Returns by Group Panel members were instructed to visit the NPD Online Research survey site in order to complete and submit the survey about men’s casual sportswear purchasing. As an incentive to complete this survey, five $100 drawings were included. Panelists were initially asked a screening question: “How often does your household purchase men’s casual sportswear (excluding tailored clothing and underwear)?” Possible response selections were: once a month/every 4 weeks or more often, once every two to three months, once every four to six months, once or twice a year, less often than once a year or never. Individuals who indicated that their household “never” purchased men’s casual sportswear were excluded from the study. The following is a summary of category purchase incidences and final usable sample bases by group: Total Rep Upper Income % Purchasing category Final sample base 80% 1,536 89% 362 Key Definitions Aided Awareness Percent of all respondents who have heard of the brand Purchase Percent of all respondents who report purchasing in the past 12 months Conversion Percent of all aware respondents who have purchased the brand in the past 12 months Retention Percent of all past 12 month purchasers who plan to repurchase the brand in the future Prospects Percent of aware non-purchasers who plan to purchase the brand in the future Relevance Among males aware of a brand, the percent who rate the brand a 5, 6 or 7, where 7=Extremely Appropriate for self Brand Momentum Measures brand popularity by asking those aware of a brand whether they consider the brand to be “in” or “hot” 4 Executive Summary Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 5 Executive Summary Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 Men’s casual sportswear, as a category, is showing both unit and dollar growth versus last year – driven by knits, jeans and outerwear. Despite concerns about the economy, men’s casual sportswear is one category that continues to grow. This category saw a 4% growth in dollars from 2004 to 2005 for a total $36.6 billion in sales. Growing at almost the same rate, unit volume showed a 3% increase to 2.1 billion in 2005. Within the men’s casual sportswear category some specific apparel items show increases in sales while others have declined over the past year. Knits, jeans, and outerwear showed the greatest unit and dollar volume growth from 2004 to 2005. Additionally, the average retail prices for both knits and jeans also remained stable while in the outerwear category, average retail prices dropped 2%. Specialty Stores continue to drive the men’s casual sportswear dollar volume, generating 30% of all dollar sales. Department Stores generated another 18% of the dollar volume followed by National Chain stores at 16%. In terms of unit volume, Specialty Stores and Mass Merchants are the leading channels. Combined, they generated over half of all men’s casual sportswear units sold in 2005. The men’s casual sportswear category’s brand composition has largely remained unchanged versus 2004. Of all the men’s casual sportswear units and dollars sold in 2005, national brands accounted for 42% of the market. Meanwhile, private label brands accounted for another 32% of the market share. When consumers think about men’s casual sportswear, most think of national players who are known for “basics” (such as jeans or casual tees) or activewear. Levi’s, Old Navy, Nike and Fruit of the Loom rank #1 - #4 respectively on aided awareness, grabbing the top rankings– each with over 6 in 10 reporting recognition of the brand when thinking about men’s casual sportswear. These brands have awareness levels similar to those reported two years ago - and appear to be “leveling off” after seeing significant declines in the 2001 to 2003 tracking period. The only brand in the Top 20 to increase its aided recall in 2005 versus 2003 was Dickies (+3 percentage points to 50%). Dickies, a brand that has been around since 1922, has a history focused on work wear (hence the tagline “A Legend in Workwear™”). However, the brand is also popular among younger men, gaining the spotlight as a brand worn by rappers and hip hop artists such as Trick Daddy at the BET Spring Event and Kevin Federline seen in People and Us Weekly wearing a Dickies Logo T. Many brands continue to show a decline in the level of aided awareness; brands such as Docker’s, Gap, Polo by Ralph Lauren, Lee, Eddie Bauer and Bugle Boy. Outside of the Top 20 ranking, several other men’s casual sportswear brands evaluated are making progress in terms of aided recognition as men’s casual sportswear brands, including American Eagle Outfitter (+8 vs. 2001 levels), Champion (+7), Croft and Barrow (+7), Cherokee (+5 vs. 2003 levels), Kenneth Cole and Columbia (both at +6). 6 Executive Summary Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 Levi’s held its #1 ranking for past 12 month purchasing with about 3 in 10 consumers reporting they had purchased the brand in the past year. This reflects a gain of 5 percentage points over 2003 for Levi’s and is similar to levels seen in 2001 for this brand. The majority of brands with high aided awareness levels also appear on the Top 20 for reported purchasing in the past year. However, ck/Calvin Klein, Bugle Boy and Banana Republic which appear in the Top 20 for aided brand awareness fail to make the Top 20 for reported past 12 month purchasing. Younger men, however, do show some differences in brand preferences – with vertical specialty retailer brands and Nike moving up in the rankings when it comes to purchasing. Among the Top 10 brands reportedly purchased in the past year there are some differences by age, although brands like Levi’s, Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, Nike, and Old Navy clearly appeal across all age segments and are represented as part of the Top 10 list across all age groups. The men’s casual sportswear buyer who is under the age of 35 is more likely than older consumers to report purchasing Nike. In fact Nike ranks as the #1 reported men’s casual sportswear brand purchased by those in the Under 25 and 25-34 year old age segments. Among those under age 25, American Eagle Outfitters also appears in the Top 10 ranking for past year purchasing, with reported levels comparable to Levi’s (14%). Abercrombie & Fitch makes it on the Top 10 list of brands purchased in the past year among 25-34 year olds -- 13% of men’s casual sportswear buyers in this age range reported purchasing this brand. In terms of what is important to buyers, its still about comfort. But certain brands have shown some gains in terms of consumers thinking of them as “quality” men’s casual sportswear, “a fashion leader” and as “value” brands. Consistent with previous waves, comfort is still one of the top cited dimensions across all brands, demonstrating the importance that consumers place on comfort when purchasing men’s casual sportswear. Overall, however, the average comfort ratings across the brands included in the survey continued to decline slightly, at 47% (down from 48% in 2003 and 50% in 2001). Brand Perception Fast Facts: The North Face was the only brand in the Top 20 to show increases in perceptions of quality versus reported 2003 levels. This 38 year old brand is known for performance apparel and technically advanced products, many of which are targeted at specific outdoor specialty sports such as mountaineering, camping and skiing. Fruit of the Loom continues to hold the #1 slot for being thought of as an “excellent value” among men’s casual sportswear buyers who know the brand. Express Men’s, a brand that had not made the Top 20 before, showed the largest gain, +8 percentage points versus 2003 for “a fashion leader”. Launched in 1987 and then re-created in 2002 as Limited Brands when Limited Brands converted Structure stores to Express Men’s stores, this brand touts an international influence with modern appeal. Many stores have been closed and reopened as dual gender outlets. 7 Executive Summary Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 Columbia Sportswear continues to show steady gains for “a brand I’m willing to pay a little more for” and The North Face saw a +4 percentage point gain versus 2003 for this attribute. Columbia Sportswear was founded in 1938 and went public in 1998. Recent advertising spots featured Gert Boyle, the 80 year old Chairman, testing Columbia’s performance outerwear products on her son (president of Columbia Sportswear) in humorous situations. Only two brands showed an increase versus 2003 for “sold in a store where I prefer to shop” -- Croft & Barrow (+2 percentage points) and Arrow (+3 percentage points). Champion, Fruit Of The Loom, adidas, and Hanes continue to be the top rated brands on “clothing that is comfortable to wear”. “Value-added” features, such as special fabrics and rinses, are more likely to be on consumers’ radar than they were two years ago – and many say they would buy men’s casual sportswear items that offer these special product advances. Some fabrics/rinses have been around for awhile, and have fairly high recognition levels – such as wrinkle-free (about 9 in 10) and stain resistance (about 3 in 4) fabric treatments. Recognition of other fabric treatments, however, has increased versus just two years ago such as awareness for Stain Release, UV Protection and Cooling/Moisture Wicking. Consumers reporting aided awareness of UV Protection showed the largest increase - up 9 percentage points to 30%. Almost as many consumers (29%) say they’ve heard of Cooling/Moisture Wicking as a product attribute available in men’s casual sportswear items (up 7 percentage points from 2003). Stain Release also showed a hefty increase, up 6 percentage points to 43% having heard of this fabric feature. Not only are consumers more aware of these features, but over half also say they definitely/probably would buy men’s casual sportswear items that have Cooling/Moisture Wicking, and 1 in 3 have a positive purchase interest for UV Protection. Three new fabric treatments were added to the survey this year, Fade Resistance, Anti-Microbial, and Anti-Bacterial. Fade Resistance scored relatively high in awareness with 61% of men’s casual sportswear buyers indicating they had heard of this treatment. Anti-Microbial and Anti-Bacterial each had 15% of all buyers aware of this treatment for men’s casual sportswear, with the highest concentration of those aware being in the 25-34 age range. Although these have significantly lower awareness levels overall than other treatments, about 3 in 10 men’s casual sportswear buyers who know about them say they would definitely/probably purchase items with these special fabrics/rinses. 8 Market Overview/Category Dynamics Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 9 Market Overview Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 How big is the men’s casual sportswear market and how does it trend? Dollar sales of men’s casual sportswear, which includes all apparel except tailored clothing, underwear, and swimwear, totaled $36.6 billion for annual 2005. This represents 4% growth versus annual 2004. Unit volume grew 3% to 2.1 billion in 2005. Average retail prices increased 1% to $12.39.

The knits, jeans and outerwear categories showed the greatest unit and dollar volume growth from 2004 to 2005. Average retail prices for knits and jeans remained stable, leading the trends within each category to be the same for both dollar and unit volume. It is interesting to note that increased popularity of “premium” Men’s denim brands did not affect the average price of the jeans market as a whole. In outerwear, average retail prices dropped 2%, causing the category’s dollar volume growth to be slightly less aggressive than its unit volume growth.

Only 5% report shopping on a monthly basis for men’s casual sportswear. Overall, six in ten buyers of men’s casual sportswear reported purchasing these apparel items once a quarter or less often. •Just over one in ten shoppers under age 25 reported shopping every month. In general, those under age 35 are more frequent buyers, while those age 55 and older are most likely to shop once a year or less often for men’s casual sportswear. •Although women may shop more frequently when buying items for themselves, men and women’s purchase frequencies for men’s casual sportswear items are similar. No significant differences were seen by gender.

And consumer reporting of how purchase decisions are made regarding men’s casual sportswear are now beginning to reflect a shift in this direction as well. Consistent with survey findings from 2001 and 2003, the majority of men surveyed reported having at least some involvement in the purchasing of men’s casual sportswear for their household. However, almost 6 in 10 men (59%) reported that they shop for and purchase casual sportswear clothing themselves, up 4 percentage points from 2003 while about one in four men (27%) state they shop with the female in their household for clothing, declining 3 percentage points from two years ago. Similar to the reporting dynamic seen since tracking started in 2001, women are less likely to report that men are involved in the purchase decision process for men’s casual wear purchasing than are men themselves. • Only 14% of women surveyed reported that the male shops and makes the purchase himself (compared to 59% of males), while the number of women saying they made the purchase decision independently rose versus 2 years ago (+3 percentage points to 32%). This dichotomy reflects the perceptual difference between males and females about who in the household is most involved with men’s casual sportswear purchasing. Despite this difference in opinions, women do appear to continue to play a key role in the purchasing of men’s casual sportswear for at least a portion of men. Therefore, it is important for marketers to include women in their evaluations of consumer awareness and appeal of brands in this category.

Those under age 35 continued to be the least likely to report that they make most of their men’s causal sportswear purchases on sale/discounted.

Note: As in 2001 and 2003 studies, the definition of men’s casual sportswear was intentionally left open for interpretation by consumers with only tailored clothing and underwear excluded from the explanation of the category. The average aided awareness across the Top 20 brands dropped from 64% in 2001 to 60% in 2003 and continued to decline to 57% in 2005. As noted in 2003, this could be a reflection of: • Increasing fragmentation in the marketplace as more and more brands compete for consumers’ attention. • Shifts in advertising spending for men’s casual sportswear brands overall. • The growing competition in advertising of apparel versus other categories, such as entertainment, electronics and telecommunications. Levi’s, Old Navy, Nike and Fruit of the Loom rank #1 - #4 respectively based on aided awareness. All brands in the Top 4 show awareness levels similar to those reported two years ago – each “leveling off” after seeing significant declines in the 2001 to 2003 tracking period. • Docker’s aided awareness fell another 6 percentage points in 2005, losing a cumulative 9 percentage points versus 2001 levels (59% versus 68%). • Gap and Lee were down -5 and -4 percentage points respectively versus 2003, also losing a cumulative 9 percentage points versus 2001 levels. • Bugle Boy experienced one of the most significant declines among brands in the Top 20 – losing 7 percentage points versus 2003 awareness levels and down 12 points versus 2001 (50% versus 62% respectively). • About 7 in 10 men’s casual sportswear category purchasers say they have heard of Levi’s for men’s casual sportswear (69%), edging past Old Navy (68%). • About 2 in 3 men’s casual sportswear category purchasers say they have heard of Nike for men’s casual sportswear (66%), while Fruit of the Loom, a brand more known for casualwear ‘basics’ such as t-shirts and sweats, follows at 64% aided awareness. The only brand in the Top 20 to increase its aided recall in 2005 versus 2003 was Dickies, +3 percentage points to 50%. Abercrombie & Fitch remained stable at 51% for the past 3 tracking waves. Wrangler, ranked 5th for aided awareness in terms of men’s casual sportswear, showed a continued decline, dropping 3 percentage points versus 2003 levels to 62%, and down 10 percentage points versus 2001. Looking beyond the Top 20, men’s casual sportswear brands that have seen increases in aided awareness over the past 2-4 years include American Eagle Outfitter (+8 percentage points vs 2001), Champion and Croft and Barrow (each +7 percentage points vs 2001), Cherokee (+5 percentage points vs 2003), and Kenneth Cole and Columbia (each +6 percentage points vs 2001). Within the Top 20 ranking for aided awareness when thinking of men’s casual sportswear, Docker’s, Gap, Polo by Ralph Lauren, Lee, Eddie Bauer and Bugle Boy also show continued declines in aided awareness versus the prior two waves. Mossimo was also added to the survey for 2005, and came in with 20% aided awareness for men’s casual sportswear. 18 Top 20 Brands: Aided Awareness Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 General Market (Rep Men and Women Age 13+) Aided Brand Awareness Brand Rank (% of respondents aware of brand) 2005 1 69 70 Levi's 2 Old Navy 3 Nike 4 Fruit Of The Loom 5 Wrangler 6 Hanes 7 Tommy Hilfiger 7 Dockers 9 Reebok 10 adidas 11 Gap 11 Calvin Klein/CK 13 Polo By Ralph Lauren 13 Lee 15 L.L.

Old Navy, ranks 4th among buyers aged 35-44, 4554, and 55+ when looking at awareness by age group. Bugle Boy appears to have stronger recognition levels among those in the 25-44 and 55+ age segments. Other differences in brand recognition levels by age segment include: Van Heusen shows up in the Top 10 for older men (age 55+). Lee does not make it in the Top 15 among men under age 25, however it’s awareness level is highest among men aged 45-54. Wrangler does not appear on the Top 10 ranking for aided awareness among men’s casual sportswear buyers under the age of 35, but ranks as one of the top 3 brands for those aged 35-44, 45-54 and 55+. Recent Wrangler advertising has focused on male sports venues and male-oriented magazines. Touching back on its promotions of the 80’s, Wrangler selected Dale Earnhardt Jr., following in the footsteps of his late father, as spokesperson for the brand. L.L. Bean shows a similar pattern, with Top 10 aided awareness for older men (over 35) but absent from the top rankings for those under 35. Nautica, Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle Outfitters, however, appears in the Top 10 for brand awareness for younger men’s casual sportswear buyers (Under 35) while failing to make the Top 10 for their older counterparts. adidas’ recognition levels are driven by those under 45. The higher awareness levels among younger men’s casual sportswear buyers for American Eagle is reflective of its target – as the mall-based retailer focuses on 15-25 year olds at its 850+ locations across the US and Canada. Formerly known for more outdoor-wear, it has shifted its product mix focus to more casual products and accessories. American Eagle publishes its own lifestyle magazine, which doubles as a catalog. Abercrombie & Fitch, also positioned to attract younger shoppers, continues to feature models with “ripped” muscular torsos and what they define as “casual luxury”. 21 Aided Awareness by Age Segment Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 General Market (Rep Men and Women Age 13+) Top 15 Brands Aided Awareness Among MCS Buyers Under 25 Rank 1 2 3 4 4 6 7 7 9 10 11 11 13 14 15 Old Navy Nike adidas Levi's Fruit Of The Loom American Eagle Gap Hanes Abercrombie & Fitch Tommy Hilfiger Calvin Klein/CK Reebok Dickies Wrangler Nautica % 67 65 60 58 58 57 53 53 52 52 50 50 48 47 46 Top 15 Brands Aided Awareness Among MCS Buyers 45-54 Rank 1 1 2 3 4 5 5 7 7 9 10 10 11 11 13 13 13 Top 15 Brands Aided Awareness Among MCS Buyers 25-34 Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 9 9 11 12 13 14 14 14 17 17 17 Old Navy Nike Levi's adidas Reebok Tommy Hilfiger Gap Polo By Ralph Lauren Fruit Of The Loom Abercrombie & Fitch Hanes Calvin Klein/CK Dockers Eddie Bauer Bugle Boy Lee Nautica American Eagle Champion % 75 73 67 63 62 60 58 58 56 56 54 53 52 51 51 51 50 50 50 Levi's Wrangler Nike Fruit Of The Loom Old Navy Hanes Tommy Hilfiger Dockers Reebok adidas Lee Gap Polo By Ralph Lauren Calvin Klein/CK L.L.

As seen over the past several years, men’s casual sportswear is a fragmented category with few brands garnering over a 10% share of reported purchasing. Most of the brands that have high aided awareness levels also appear on the Top 20 for reported purchasing in the past year with the exception of ck/Calvin Klein, Bugle Boy and Banana Republic – which appear in the Top 20 for aided brand awareness but fail to make the Top 20 for reported past 12 month purchasing. American Eagle Outfitters saw an increase in reported purchasing versus 2003, up 4 percentage points to 10%. Dickies, Lands’ End, Reebok, and Champion also saw small up-ticks in reported purchasing, +2 percentage points versus 2003 levels. Route 66, a brand that garnered 10% reported purchasing in 2001, remains low at 4% after falling to 5% in 2003. Levi’s maintained its #1 ranking for past 12 month purchasing, with almost 3 in 10 consumers saying they had bought the brand in the past year – a gain of 5 percentage points over 2003 and back to levels seen in 2001. While still staying true to their core customer, Levi's has made strides to become more of a player in the premium market. Levi’s new RedWire DLX iPod jeans, which will be available worldwide Fall 2006, will help breathe new life into the Levi's brand and attract not only new customers but also the 'young and hip' crowd. Fruit of the Loom, Nike, Wrangler, and adidas also showed a re-bounding in reported past year purchasing versus 2003 levels. 23 Top 20 Brands: Purchased Past 12 Months Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 General Market (Rep Men and Women Age 13+) Purchased Past 12 Months Brand Rank 2005 1 2 (% of respondents who purchased brand in past 12 months) Hanes 4 Nike 4 Old Navy 7 20 21 Fruit Of The Loom 3 6 22 23 Levi's 18 15 15 Dockers 8 9 American Eagle 6 6 10 Dickies 6 6 10 Gap 10 10 14 Champion 14 Columbia Sportsw ear 14 Faded Glory 14 Joe Boxer 14 Polo By Ralph Lauren 14 Tommy Hilfiger 18 17 18 6 3 3 20 19 20 22 11 Top 20 Average 2005 13 7 8 11 7 7 Reebok 20 21 8 7 Lee 2001 11 8 adidas 2003 27 17 16 15 Wrangler 2005 27 10 7 8 6 6 6 6 6 4 7 9 All Brand Average 2005 6 6 6 6 8 10 9 13 Note: Because past 12-month purchasing is based on self-reported recall, at times it can vary from actual in-market data. 24 All Brands: Purchased Past 12 Months Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 General Market (Rep Men and Women Age 13+) Men's Casual Sportswear Quickview - Ranked Listing of all Brands (% of all respondents who have purchased brand in past 12 months) 2005 2005 2003 2001 % Rank % % Levi's Fruit Of The Loom Hanes Nike Old Navy Wrangler Dockers adidas American Eagle Dickies Gap Lee Reebok Champion Columbia Sportswear Faded Glory Joe Boxer Polo By Ralph Lauren Tommy Hilfiger Abercrombie & Fitch Arizona Calvin Klein/CK Eddie Bauer L.L.

Under Age 25 and 25-34 Age 45-54 Nike is the #1 men’s casual sportswear brand reported by those Under 25 and 25-34, with 25% and 30% of buyers respectively saying they have bought the activewear brand in the past year. Columbia Sportswear shows up in the Top 10 for past 12 month purchasing among men’s casual sportswear buyers aged 45-54, with 1 in 10 buyers in this age range saying they have bought the brand in the past year. Age 55+ For those in the youngest age segment (Under 25) American Eagle Outfitters appears in the Top 10 ranking for past year purchasing – at levels comparable to Levi’s (14%). Older consumers have a somewhat different Top 10 for brands purchased in the past year than do consumers in other age segments – with brands such as Rustler, Haggar, Polo Ralph Lauren, Lands’ End and L.L. Bean showing up in the Top 10 rankings. Abercrombie & Fitch makes it into the Top 10 brands purchased in the past year for those 2534, reported by 13% of men’s casual sportswear buyers. Age 35-44 Eddie Bauer only shows up in the Top 10 brands for the 35-44 age group with about 1 in 10 buyers indicated they had purchased this brand of men’s sportswear in the past year. 26 Purchased Past 12 Months by Age Segment Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 General Market (Rep Men and Women Age 13+) Top 10 Brands: Purchased Past 12 Months Among MCS Buyers Under Age 25 Rank 1 2 2 4 5 6 6 7 9 9 Nike adidas Old Navy Hanes Fruit Of The Loom American Eagle Levi's Gap Reebok Wrangler % 25 23 23 16 15 14 14 8 7 7 Top 10 Brands: Purchased Past 12 Months Among MCS Buyers Age 35-44 Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 10 10 Levi's Wrangler Hanes Fruit Of The Loom Old Navy Nike Dockers adidas American Eagle Lee Reebok Eddie Bauer Gap Top 10 Brands: Purchased Past 12 Months Among MCS Buyers Age 25-34 Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6 6 6 9 10 % 30 27 24 21 18 13 13 13 12 10 Top 10 Brands: Purchased Past 12 Months Among MCS Buyers Age 45-54 % 29 22 20 19 18 17 16 11 9 9 9 9 9 Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 7 10 Fruit Of The Loom Levi's Wrangler Dockers Hanes Nike Columbia Sportswear Old Navy Lee Faded Glory % 27 21 20 18 17 12 10 10 10 9 Top 10 Brands: Purchased Past 12 Months Among MCS Buyers Age 55+ Rank 1 2 2 4 4 6 7 8 8 8 8 8 8 Note: MCS = Men’s Casual Sportswear Nike Old Navy Levi's Fruit Of The Loom Hanes Abercrombie & Fitch adidas Dockers Gap Faded Glory 27 Wrangler Dockers Levi's Fruit Of The Loom Hanes Haggar Old Navy Polo By Ralph Lauren Rustler Dickies L.L.

While some brands have relatively low awareness overall, they may be doing a great job of convincing this smaller target audience to buy their brand – resulting in high conversion levels. About half of the brands that had high awareness levels (in the Top 20 ranking) also make it into the Top 20 for conversion. For these brands – Levi’s, Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, Wrangler, Nike, Dockers, Old Navy, adidas, Dickies, and Gap - it appears that not only do a lot of consumers know about the brand, but they are capturing a large proportion of them as buyers as well. Columbia Sportswear continues to climb in the rankings for conversion – ranking #8 and increasing its conversion to over 1 in 5, +6 percentage points over 2003 levels.

Retention, therefore, is a measure of how well a brand is doing at keeping current brand buyers in the franchise. Note: Because this measure is based on respondents who made a purchase of the brand in the past year, many brands have fairly small base sizes. Small base sizes can result in what appear to be significant shifts year to year due to their inherent instability, and may not necessarily indicate large improvements or declines in the actual retention levels. Brands that have dropped out of the Top 20 versus 2003 based on retention include Gap (-11 percentage points, 59% 2005 vs. 70% 2003), Wrangler (-7 points), and Dockers (-10 points). FUBU, Banana Republic, Abercrombie & Fitch, Kenneth Cole and Perry Ellis all increased retention versus 2003 levels and rank in the Top 20 – however each have low base sizes that can contribute to instability in the data from year to year and should be viewed with caution.

The number of “prospects” (those that who are aware of a brand, have not yet purchased, but plan to in the next year) can therefore be thought of as a leading indicator of a brand’s growth potential. Brands with large groups of prospects can be poised for market share growth, if they can persuade the consumer to buy. Similar to the past two waves of tracking, most brands have low prospect scores, demonstrating how difficult it is to break through to consumers. Levi’s, Hanes and Fruit of the Loom remain in the top 3 ranking on this dimension, although Hanes and Fruit of the Loom swapped positions – with Hanes prospects declining 2 percentage points versus 2003 and Fruit gaining 3 points. Within the Top 20, Savane, American Eagle, Dickies and Old Navy also show increases in the number of prospects versus 2003.

Therefore there are many brands that have fairly high awareness levels, but are perceived as brands that are not appropriate for them personally. Across all brands in the study, the average “relevance” score is only 37% - or about one in three men who identify a brand they have heard of as being “appropriate for me”. Levi’s, Hanes and Fruit of the Loom top the rankings for relevance again this year, showing that not only do these brands have broad awareness, but also seem to offer up a positioning that resonates with most men who have heard of them. Savane shows a significant increase in relevance – although it has a fairly small base of consumers who know the brand (6%). Russell and John Henry show similar trends, with smaller awareness levels but increasing relevance among those who do know the brand. Rustler appears to have rebounded somewhat in relevance after a dip in 2003, and more activewear-oriented brands such as adidas, The North Face and Reebok show increases versus 2003.

Although ranked #2, Tommy Hilfiger does show a fairly significant decline in momentum ratings, down 6 percentage points versus 2003 levels and -16 percentage points versus 2001. Overall, the average “in or hot” rating fell across all brands included in the survey as did the average across the Top 20 brands – indicating that what is considered “in” or “hot” may be diverging across different age segments and buyer groups – resulting in an overall lower rate when evaluated in total. Brands seeing increases in momentum in the Top 20 include American Eagle, The North Face Express Men’s. and Conversely, FUBU, shows a significant slide in terms of being thought of as an “in or hot” brand (-21 percentage points versus 2001), as does Levi’s (-13), Old Navy (-11), Gap (-12), Dockers (-16) and Eddie Bauer (-14), as well as several of the designer brands (cK, Polo, DKNY, and Nautica).

Nike appears in the Top 10 for 4 of the 5 age segments based on being considered “in or hot” (absent from those 35-44). Under Age 25 Versus 2003, the Top 10 brands that men’s casual sportswear buyers consider “in or hot” has changed, with only 5 brands appearing in both 2003 and 2005. Abercrombie & Fitch continues to rank #1 with younger men when it comes to this dimension – with almost 2 in 3 buyers under 25 citing the brand as “in or hot”. American Eagle moves up the ranking, at #2 and increasing 4 percentage points versus 2003. Express Men’s also moves up in the Top 10 to #3, +3 points versus 2003 levels while Nike drops from #2 to #4 (-7 points). Tommy Hilfiger, Polo, Nautica, Dickies and Grand Slam fall out of the Top 10 rankings for those 25 and younger, while The North Face, adidas, Old Navy, Banana Republic and Calvin Klein/cK replaces them. Age 25-34 Men’s casual sportswear buyers aged 25-34 cite many of the same brands noted in 2003 among the Top 10 for “in and Hot”, including A&F, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo, Nike, Gap, FUBU, Nautica and Kenneth Cole – although the specific rankings within the Top 10 have shifted slightly across the brands. Timberland and Perry Ellis show up for the first time in 2005 in the Top 10 for this age segment, while Old Navy drops out. Age 35-44 Those aged 35-44 are the youngest age segment to cite Levi’s in the Top 10 as being thought of as an “in or hot” brand (ranked #7). Top 10 rankings on this dimension are similar to those seen in 2003, with the exception of FUBU, Dockers and Eddie Bauer as brands that fall out of the Top 10 in 2005, replaced by Banana Republic, Calvin Klein/cK and Express Men’s. JNCO also appears on the Top 10 for momentum for this age segment, a brand absent from the top rankings for both younger and older age groups. Age 45-54/55+ Express Men’s ranks #1 among men’s casual sportswear buyers 45-54 as being “in or hot”, while Levi’s Silvertab also makes the Top 10 among this age segment. Among men’s casual sportswear buyers aged 55+, the Top 10 for brands thought of as “in or hot” is a mix of designer brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Polo By Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein/CK, Nautica, and performancewear such as Columbia Sportswear and The North Face as well as more established national brands such as Dockers and Levi’s. A & F and American Eagle also make the Top 10 ranking for this age segment. 38 Momentum by Age Segment Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 General Market (Rep Men and Women Age 13+) Top 10 Brands: Momentum Among MCS Buyers Age 25-34 Rank % 1 Abercrombie & Fitch 66 2 Tommy Hilfiger 61 3 Nike 54 4 Polo By Ralph Lauren 49 5 Perry Ellis 45 6 Calvin Klein/CK 43 7 Kenneth Cole 41 8 Gap 39 8 FUBU 39 10 Timberland 37 10 Nautica 37 Top 10 Brands: Momentum Among MCS Buyers Under Age 25 Rank % 1 Abercrombie & Fitch 65 2 American Eagle 61 3 Express Men's 54 4 Nike 53 5 The North Face 50 5 adidas 50 7 Old Navy 44 8 Banana Republic 43 8 Calvin Klein/CK 43 10 Gap 42 Top 10 Brands: Momentum Among MCS Buyers 45-54 Top 10 Brands: Momentum Among MCS Buyers 35-44 Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8 10 Abercrombie & Fitch Nike Tommy Hilfiger American Eagle JNCO Old Navy Levi's Banana Republic Calvin Klein/CK Express Men's Top 10 Brands: Momentum Among MCS Buyers 55+ Rank 1 Tommy Hilfiger 2 Polo By Ralph Lauren 3 Dockers 4 Abercrombie & Fitch 5 Calvin Klein/CK 5 Columbia Sportswear 7 Nautica 7 The North Face 9 American Eagle 9 Levi's Rank 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 9 10 10 % 56 46 45 41 39 38 36 33 33 32 % 48 41 39 38 35 35 33 33 31 31 Note: MCS = Men’s Casual Sportswear 39 Express Men's Tommy Hilfiger Abercrombie & Fitch Polo By Ralph Lauren Old Navy Nike FUBU Levi's Calvin Klein/CK Silver Tab Banana Republic % 44 42 41 40 39 37 36 36 35 34 34 Top 20 Brands: Ratings Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 General Market (Rep Men and Women Age 13+) Brand Ratings Among Past 12-Month Buyers of a Brand How a consumers perceives a brand hopefully reflects the marketer’s intended brand positioning. In this section of the survey, consumers were asked to provide specific feedback on each brand they were aware of. Specifically, consumers were asked which statements listed below (if any) described each brand. Consistent with previous waves, comfort is still one of the top cited dimensions across all brands, demonstrating the importance that consumers place on comfort when purchasing men’s casual sportswear. Overall, however, the average comfort ratings across the brands included in the survey continued to decline slightly to 47% (down from 48% in 2003 and 50% in 2001). As would be expected, certain brands resonate with consumers as “high quality” while others capitalize on their “value” positioning.

In general, ratings on the seven dimensions among those aware of each brand are somewhat lower for all brands compared to the ratings given among brand buyers only, which were outlined on the previous pages of this report. 41 Top 20 Brands: High Quality Men’s Casual Sportswear 2005 General Market (Rep Men and Women Age 13+) Abercrombie & Fitch and Polo Ralph Lauren retained their #1 and #2 rankings respectively as “high quality” brands, posting quality ratings comparable to 2003 after both saw a significant decline from 2001 to 2003. The North Face was the only brand in the Top 20 to show increases in perceptions of quality versus reported 2003 levels. Bill Blass, Calvin Klein/cK and Kenneth Cole all maintained their quality ratings versus 2003 with just over 1 in 3 men’s casual sportswear buyers rating each brand as “high quality”, and moved up in the rankings given that many other brands experienced declines versus two years ago. Claiborne, a brand that made the Top 20 for “high quality” in both 2001 and 2003 dropped off this years Top 20, while Hugo Boss and Patagonia make the list for 2005.
