Casual Male Retail Group, Inc.
Announces Intention to Adopt 10b5-1 Plan;
Provides Mid-Quarter Sales Update

CANTON, MA, October 18, 2007, -- Casual Male Retail Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ: "CMRG"), retail brand operator of Casual Male XL, Rochester

program and will adopt a new Securities Exchange Commission Rule 10b5-1

"Similar to what has been reported by other retailers, sales in the
quarter have been hampered by unseasonably warm weather in September,
which has negatively impacted traffic and our overall quarterly sales
trend.  Comparable sales for the third quarter through yesterday were
up 0.2% when compared to the 13% comparable sales increase reported in
the third quarter of 2006.  Our previously issued earnings guidance of
$0.45-$0.50 per diluted share for the year may be negatively impacted
unless our sales trends improve dramatically over the balance of the
year."

29, 2007 prior to the market open and will hold its earnings conference
call and web cast at 9:00 AM ET.  In the future, the Company will now
hold its conference calls and web casts at 9:00 AM ET.
