Exhibit 10.37

                       In re:  Casual Male Corp., et al.
                               Retention Program

     This Retention Program has been adopted by Casual Male Corp. and the
entities described on Exhibit A hereto, each of which is operating as a debtor-
in-possession under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
(collectively, the "Debtors"). The Board of Directors of the Debtors, in
consultation with the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Debtors'
bankruptcy cases, has concluded that it is in the best interest of a successful
reorganization of the Debtors' businesses that certain members of management be
provided with monetary incentives to remain employed by the Debtors during the
reorganization process. Accordingly, the Debtors have adopted the following
retention program:

1.   Certain employees of the Debtors (the "Participants") shall be entitled to
     receive a retention bonus ("Retention Bonus") subject to the terms,
     provisions and conditions of this Retention Program.

2.   Except as described in the next sentence, Participants in the Retention
     Program who have successfully met each of the conditions set forth herein
     shall receive Retention Bonus payments in the amounts described on Exhibit
     B in three installments as described below:

          First Installment:   Three months after filing of bankruptcy petition
                               (i.e., August 18, 2001)
          Second Installment:  Nine months after filing of bankruptcy petition
                               (i.e., February 18, 2002)
          Third Installment:   Upon Emergence
                               (as defined in paragraph 3 below)

     Notwithstanding the above, in the event that Emergence occurs prior to
     February 18, 2002, each participant shall be entitled to receive his or her
     second and third Retention Bonus installment payments upon Emergence.

3.   For the purposes of this document, the term "Emergence" shall mean the
     confirmation of a plan of reorganization pursuant to United States
     Bankruptcy Code (which plan shall not provide for the liquidation of all or
     substantially all of the Debtors' assets other than as a "going concern")
     or the consummation of a transaction involving the sale of the stock or
     substantially all of the assets of the Debtors (on a consolidated basis) as
     a going concern.

4.   No Participant shall be entitled to receive any installment payment in
     respect of his or her Retention Bonus unless: (i) he or she is employed by
     the respective Debtor on the date that such installment is due and payable,
     (ii) such Participant has performed his or her employment functions in a
     manner that is consistent with past performance, in accordance with
     established performance standards and to the satisfaction of the Company
     and (iii) he or she has complied with all material policies of the Debtors
     including, without limitation, all obligations of 4. confidentiality.
     Notwithstanding the above, a Participant shall be entitled to a pro rata
     portion of the next Retention Bonus installment otherwise due to such
     Participant in


     the event that the Participant is terminated by the Debtor without cause
     prior to the date that such installment is due and payable.

5.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that (i) any Debtor
     is sold and (ii) a Participant entitled to a Retention Bonus hereunder is
     also entitled to receive a "success bonus" or other consideration as a
     result of such sale, such Participant's Retention Bonus shall be reduced
     dollar for dollar by the amount of such "success bonus" or other
     consideration.

6.   The aggregate amount of Retention Bonuses paid or payable under the
     Retention Program shall not exceed $,4,121,634.00, provided that any
     Retention Bonus that is cancelled, forfeited or otherwise not paid shall be
     available for new awards under the Retention Program.
