This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the joint statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the common stock, par value $1 per share, of R.G. Barry Corporation, an Ohio corporation, filed by the undersigned on January 29, 2009 (the “Schedule 13D”), amends the Schedule 13D as follows:

1. The first paragraph of Item 3 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“The Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 529,136 shares of Common Stock for $3,376,253.26 using working capital from the Fund and the proceeds of margin loans under margin loan facilities maintained in the ordinary course of business by the Fund with a broker on customary terms and conditions.”

2. The first paragraph of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D shall be amended and restated in full as follows:

“The Reporting Persons acquired shares of the Common Stock based on their belief that the Common Stock represents an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons further believe that the Issuer would be better able to realize its full value as a private entity. Accordingly, in a letter dated January 28, 2009, attached hereto as Exhibit 5, the Fund submitted an offer to acquire all outstanding shares of the Issuer that it does not own. On March 16, 2009, the Issuer responded that its board of directors had determined not to pursue the Fund’s offer. On April 2, 2009, the Fund transmitted a letter to Gordon Zacks, chairman of the Issuer’s board of directors, attached hereto as Exhibit 6, in which the Fund formally withdrew its offer. The rejection by the Issuer’s board of directors of the Fund’s offer has caused the Fund to reconsider its continuing ownership of shares of the Common Stock.”

3. Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“(a) In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially own, as of April 1, 2009, 529,136 shares of the Common Stock, representing approximately 5.0% of such class of securities. The Fund, the GP, as the sole general partner of the Fund, and each Manager, as a management committee director of the GP, each beneficially owns, as of April 1, 2009, 529,136 shares of the Common Stock, representing approximately 5.0% of such class of securities. These percentages of beneficial ownership are based on a total of 10,585,086 shares of the Common Stock outstanding as of January 28, 2009, as reported in the most recent quarterly report of the Issuer on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 27, 2008.”

4. Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“(c) No Reporting Person effected any transaction in shares of the Common Stock from February 1, 2009 (the date 60 days prior to the event which requires the filing of this statement) to April 2, 2009.”

5. Item 5(e) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“The Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own in the aggregate, and the Fund, the GP, as the sole general partner of the Fund, and each Manager, as a management committee director of the GP, ceased to beneficially own, 5.0% of the class of shares of Common Stock as a result of the increase in the total of shares of Common Stock outstanding reported in the quarterly report of the Issuer on Form 10-Q filed on February 3, 2009.”

6. Item 7 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended by adding an Exhibit 6 as follows:

“Exhibit 6 Letter from Mill Road Capital, L.P. to Gordon Zacks dated April 2, 2009.”

7. Except as expressly modified hereby, all provisions of the Schedule 13D shall continue in full force and effect.
