       HANOVER DIRECT SIGNS MULTI-YEAR STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH AMAZON.COM

EDGEWATER, NJ, November 7, 2002 - Hanover Direct has signed a multi-year
strategic alliance with Amazon.com, a leading online retailer with tens of
millions of visitors a month. Amazon.com today launched an Apparel & Accessories
Store at www.amazon.com/apparel, where Hanover's Silhouettes(R), International
Male(R) and Undergear(R) merchandise will be sold.

The alliance leverages the Hanover Direct portfolio of strong brands and the
world-class e-commerce platform of Amazon.com, in a relationship where Hanover
Direct merchandises and fulfills its products purchased through Amazon.com.

Customers will have access to Hanover's product offerings, order processing, and
customer service. In addition, customers visiting the new store will benefit
from Amazon.com's helpful information, easy navigation, and demonstrated
strength in cross-selling and up-selling relevant product.

"As more shoppers choose the web as their channel of choice, we think our
proprietary product will do very well on Amazon.com," said Tom Shull, CEO of
Hanover Direct. "This alliance brings in prospective customers that we may have
never reached profitably through our catalog circulation strategy."

The brands can be accessed individually at www.amazon.com/silhouettes,
www.amazon.com/internationalmale, and www.amazon.com/undergear. Their respective
products can also be found within the Amazon.com browse and search
functionality.

             LOCAL COMPANIES INTERNATIONAL MALE(R) AND UNDERGEAR(R)
                   JOIN FORCES WITH INTERNET GIANT AMAZON.COM

Amazon.com, a leading online retailer, debuts their brand new Apparel &
Accessories Store (www.amazon.com/apparel) today. San Diego-based companies
Undergear(R) and International Male(R) are among the companies forming a
strategic alliance with Amazon.com to feature their brands in the new Apparel &
Accessories store at Amazon.com.

International Male(R) and Undergear(R) have had shopping websites on the
internet since 1996, but the addition of these two homegrown brands to the site
of the leading online retailer is expected to bring International Male(R) and
Undergear(R) greater visibility with Amazon.com's tens of millions of visitors a
month.

With over 25 years of experience in the print catalog business, the Undergear
catalog and its website, undergear.com, offer what may be one of the largest
selections of men's underwear and swimwear in the world. "We couldn't be more
pleased with our new relationship with Amazon.com and we are tremendously
excited about being included in their Apparel & Accessories Store," said
International Male(R) President, Steve Seymour.

In addition to the large underwear collection that Undergear(R) offers,
International Male(R) will bring its own brand of men's trend-setting fashion.
Amazon.com's new store will include all the finest that International Male(R)
has to offer, from their best-selling leather to cool club wear to dressy
evening wear and even 9-5 workweek clothing. This agreement with Amazon.com may
help the catalog company with a whole new level of brand awareness.
