 Item 1.  Security and Issuer

This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $.10 per share (the “common stock”) of Hampshire Group, Limited, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 114 W. 41st Street, New York, New York, 10036.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

Benjamin C. Yogel (“Yogel”) is an individual and citizen of the United States.  Yogel is the Managing Director of MRC Capital Group. The business address for Yogel and MRC Capital Group is 2300 Glades Road, Suite 320W, Boca Raton, FL 33431. Yogel is also the lead director of the Issuer.

During the last five years, Yogel (i) has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding, and (ii) was not a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction the result of such proceeding being that Yogel was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Yogel acquired the shares of common stock with respect to which he has sole voting and dispositive power pursuant to the Issuer’s Non-Employee Directors Stock Fee Election Program (the “Program”). Under the Program, a non-employee director may elect in advance to have all or a portion of their quarterly cash retainer used to purchase common stock at a price per share equal to the weighted average of the sale prices of the common stock, as reported on the OTC Market for the last ten (10) trading days of the calendar quarter preceding the quarter when director fees are paid. Effective as of August 10, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Issuer amended the Program to limit the number of shares that can be issued to a director for any calendar quarter to 0.1% of the outstanding stock of the Issuer.

Mr. Yogel is the manager of each of YIH III, LLC (“YIH III”) and YIH IV, LLC (“YIH IV”), each of which is Delaware limited liability company engaged in private equity investment, and in such capacity shares the power to vote or dispose of the shares of the Issuer owned by such entities.   YIH III received 113,441 shares of common stock and, at the direction of YIH III, YIH IV received 114,149 shares of common stock from BGY II, LLC on December 29, 2014 in connection with a distribution of shares to the Equityholders (as defined below). The shares were originally issued to BGY II, LLC, in its capacity as representative of the equityholders of Rio Garment S. de R.L. (“Rio”) (consisting of Paul Buxbaum, David Gren and YIH III, referred to collectively as the “Equityholders”), in connection with the acquisition of Rio by the Issuer in August 2011 (the “Rio Acquisition”). For more information, see the Schedule 13D of BGY, Paul Buxbaum, David Gren and YIH III filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 6, 2011, as amended.

Prior to such distribution, YIH IV had acquired a total of 108,920 shares of the Issuer from time to time in market transactions.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

Yogel acquired the shares, including the shares acquired in the Rio Acquisition, for investment purposes.

Yogel Option Shares

On March 30, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer granted a total of 13,500 non-qualified options to purchase common stock to Mr. Yogel in his capacity as a director of the Issuer, under the Issuer’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) pursuant to an Option Grant Notice and Agreement. The options are exercisable at an exercise price of $2.05 per share. Options to purchase 10,125 shares of common stock are exercisable within 60 days of the date of this filing. The balance of the options will vest and become exercisable on December 31, 2015.

After giving effect to such acquisition, Yogel was the beneficial owner of 446,413 shares of common stock, which represented 5.1% of the outstanding common stock of the Issuer (based on 8,742,994 shares of common stock outstanding as of July 1, 2015 and an additional 10,125 shares of common stock that would be outstanding upon the exercise by Yogel of stock options exercisable within 60 days of July 1, 2015).

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings, or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

In connection with the Rio Acquisition, BGY and the Equityholders (collectively, the “Stockholders”) entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”).  The Voting Agreement was amended and restated as of April 5, 2013 (the “Amended and Restated Voting Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Voting Agreement provided that, for as long as the Stockholders have a right to designate a nominee to the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”) pursuant to the Stockholders Rights Agreement, as amended (as defined and more fully described below), the Stockholders are required to vote the Covered Subject Shares (as defined below) in favor of each other nominee to the Board nominated for election by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board.  In addition, the Amended and Restated Voting Agreement provides that, if requested by the Issuer, the Stockholders are obligated to vote the Covered Subject Shares in favor of certain amendments to the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation. “Covered Subject Shares” means (i) two-thirds of the Shares received in the Rio Acquisition held by the Stockholders (and any shares subsequently acquired) through August 24, 2014 and (ii) one-third of the Shares received in the Rio Acquisition held by the Stockholders (and any shares subsequently acquired) from August 25, 2014 through August 24, 2015. The Amended and Restated Voting Agreement terminated in accordance with its terms on August 25, 2015.

In connection with the Rio Acquisition, the Equityholders also entered into a stockholder rights agreement, as amended (the “Stockholder Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Equityholders have the right to designate two members to the Board (subject to reduction upon the occurrence of certain events as provided therein).  

Pursuant to the Stockholder Rights Agreement, the Equityholders are entitled to certain “piggy-back” registration rights with the respect to the shares received in the Rio Acquisition.

The descriptions of the Amended and Restated Voting Agreement and the Stockholder Rights Agreement contained in this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Voting Agreement and the Stockholder Rights Agreement, and amendment, copies of which have been disclosed in the Issuer’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 17, 2011 and April 9, 2013.
