Part III - - Narrative

         The annual report on Form 10-K of Hartmarx Corporation (the
"Company") for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2002 cannot be timely filed
without unreasonable effort or expense due to the circumstances described in
the Company's Form 8-K of February 6, 2003, which is incorporated by reference
herein, and as disclosed in the Company's press release issued on February 6,
2003. The Company will file the subject annual report on Form 10-K no later
than 15th calendar day following the prescribed due date.

Part IV - - Other Information

      notification.

      312 372-6300

(2)   Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 of 15(d) of
      the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
      Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter
      period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been
      filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).

                  [X]  Yes                  [ ] No

(3)   Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
      from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected
      by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or
      portion thereof?

                  [X]  Yes                  [ ] No

      If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
      and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a
      reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

      As reported in the registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated
      February 6, 2003, which is incorporated by reference herein, the
      registrant continues to expect to report positive pre-tax earnings for
      2002 before consideration of extraordinary charges of approximately $4.2
      million pre-tax, or $2.5 million, net of tax benefit, associated with
      the refinancing of high cost debt. At this time, the registrant is
      unable to make a more specific estimate of anticipated changes to
      results of operations from the corresponding period for the prior fiscal
      years.
