Item 8.  Change in Fiscal Year


At its November 4, 1997 Board meeting, the Board of
Directors of OshKosh B'Gosh, Inc. approved a change in its
fiscal year from a calendar year to a 52-53 week year ending
on the Saturday closest to December 31, beginning in 1998.

Each quarter will consist of a 13-week period ending on a
Saturday.  For 1998, the quarter end dates will be April 4,
July 4, October 3, and January 2, 1999.  Since this change
in fiscal year consists only of a change from the last day
of December to a 52-53 week year ending in the same month,
additional filing of financial information on Form 10-Q for
a transition period is not required.
                              

                         SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly
