Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 31, 2009, Hartmarx Corporation (the “Company”), fifty of its wholly-owned United States subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Sellers”) and Coppley Apparel Group Limited, the Company’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary (“Coppley”), entered into the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with Emerisque Brands UK Limited and SKNL North America, B.V.

The First Amendment amended the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) to, among other things, (i) increase the purchase price for the sale to Purchasers of substantially all of Sellers’ assets to an amount equal to the balance of outstanding obligations under the Sellers’ and Coppley’s loan and security agreement with Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Central), in its capacity as agent, and the lenders party thereto, on the business day immediately preceding the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, (ii) increase the amount of certain liabilities to be assumed by Purchasers and (iii) provide for the payment of $335,000 to Sellers by Purchasers in order to assist with the administration and wind down of Sellers’ bankruptcy estates following closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The foregoing description of the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
