Administrative Committee of the Plan

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation

Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes ex­amining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of investments held at year end at fair value as of December 31, 2007, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION ASSOCIATES INVESTMENT PLAN FOR HOURLY ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

1.

Description of the Plan

The following description of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (the “Company”) Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

Change in Trustee and Recordkeeper

Effective November 3, 2006, the Plan’s Trustee changed from Wells Fargo Bank to Nationwide Trust Company, and the Plan’s “Recordkeeper” changed from Wells Fargo Retirement Plan Solutions to The 401(k) Company. Effective May 14, 2007, the Plan’s Trustee changed from Nationwide Trust Company to The Charles Schwab Trust Company (the “Trustee”).

Master Trust

The Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plans Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) was established for the investment of the Phillips-Van Heusen Stock Fund (the “PVH Stock Fund”). Effective with the change in Recordkeeper and Trustee on November 3, 2006, all of the investments of the Company’s Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Employees and the Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Employees were combined into the new Master Trust held by the Nationwide Trust Company.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering hourly production, warehouse, distribution and U.S. retail field employees of the Company, who are at least age 21 or older, have completed at least three consecutive months of service and are regularly scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

F-4

PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION ASSOCIATES INVESTMENT PLAN FOR HOURLY ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Contributions

Participants may contribute up to 25% of pre-tax annual compensation, limited to $15,500 and $15,000 per annum in 2007 and 2006 respectively. In addition, pursuant to EGTRRA of 2001, all participants who have attained the age of 50 before the close of the plan year are eligible to make “catch-up” contributions up to $5,000 for each plan year. The Company matches 100% of the first 2% of eligible compensation that a participant contributed to the Plan plus 25% of the next 4% of eligible compensation contributed by the participant.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and allocations of (a) the Company’s contributions and (b) Plan earnings. Forfeited balances of terminated participants’ nonvested accounts are used to reduce future Company contributions.

Vesting

Amounts attributable to employee contributions and the allocated earnings thereon are immediately vested. Participants become 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% vested in Company contributions and the allocated earnings thereon after two, three, four and five years of service, respectively. Upon death, permanent disability or reaching age 65, participants or their beneficiaries become 100% vested in Company contributions.

Investment Options

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee or Company contributions into any one of four pre-mixed asset allocation models or any of 10 individual investment options. A participant may contribute a maximum of 25% of employee contributions into the PVH Stock Fund.

F-5

PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION ASSOCIATES INVESTMENT PLAN FOR HOURLY ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Participant Loans Receivable

Participants may borrow from the Plan, with certain restrictions, using their vested account balance as collateral. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced by the participant’s highest outstanding loan balance during the previous 12 months, or (ii) 50% of the vested value of the participant’s account. Interest is fixed for the term of the loan at the prime rate plus 1%. Loan repayments are made through payroll deductions which may be specified for a term of 1 to 5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence.

At December 31, 2007, total outstanding participant loans outstanding totaled $373,212, with maturity dates through 2012 at interest rates ranging from 5% to 9.25%.

Forfeitures

Contributions made on behalf of non-vested or partially vested employees who have terminated are retained by the Plan and are used to reduce the Company’s future matching contributions. In 2007, forfeitures of $23,885 were used by the Plan to reduce the Company’s matching contributions.

Payment of Benefits

Participants electing final distributions will receive payment in the form of a lump sum amount equal to the value of their vested account unless the participant notifies the Company of their intent to receive all or a portion of their balance attributable to the PVH Stock Fund paid in the form of shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

2.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.

Substantially all administrative expenses are paid by the Company.

In accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Labor, investments are included in the accompanying financial statements at market value as determined by quoted market prices or at fair value as determined by the trustee. Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade date basis.

All assets of the Plan are held by the Trustee in the Master Trust and are segregated from the assets of the Company. The Plan shares in the Master Trust interest and investment income based upon its participants’ shares of the Master Trust net assets available for benefits.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In December 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, “Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans” (FSP). This FSP requires investments in benefit-responsive investment contracts be presented at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan invests in investment contracts though a common/collective trust. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investments in the common/collective trust as well as the adjustment of the investment in the common/collective trust from fair value to contract value relating to the investment contracts. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

F-7

PHILLIPS-VAN HEUSEN CORPORATION ASSOCIATES INVESTMENT PLAN FOR HOURLY ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In September, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. It applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Plan’s financial statements.

3.

Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Master Trust purchased 50,218 and 53,146 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock and received $127,428 and $138,106, respectively, from the Company as payment of dividends on its common stock. The AIP Master Trust also sold 74,684 and 152,495 shares of the Company’s common stock during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Income Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated September 2, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.

Participants become 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% vested in Company contributions and the allocated earnings thereon after two, three, four and five years of service, respectively. Upon death, permanent disability, or reaching age 65, participants or their beneficiaries become 100% vested in Company contributions.

Investment Options

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee or Company contributions into any one of four pre-mixed asset allocation models or any of 10 individual investment options. A participant may contribute a maximum of 25% of employee contributions into the PVH Stock Fund.

Participant Loans Receivable

Participants may borrow from the Plan, with certain restrictions, using their vested account balance as collateral. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of (i) $50,000 reduced by the participant’s highest outstanding loan balance during the previous 12 months, or (ii) 50% of the vested value of the participant’s account. Interest is fixed for the term of the loan at the prime rate plus 1%. Loan repayments are made through payroll deductions, which may be specified for a term of 1 to 5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence.

At December 31, 2007, participant loans outstanding totaled $2,533,372, with maturity dates through 2022 at interest rates ranging from 5% to 10.5%.

Forfeitures

Contributions made on behalf of non-vested or partially vested employees who have terminated are retained by the Plan and are used to reduce the Company’s future matching contributions. In 2007, forfeitures of $101,173 were used by the Plan to reduce the Company’s matching contributions.

Payment of Benefits

Participants electing final distributions will receive payment in the form of a lump sum amount equal to the value of their vested account unless the participant notifies the Company of their intent to receive all or a portion of their balance attributable to the PVH Stock Fund paid in the form of shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.

Substantially all administrative expenses are paid by the Company.

In accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Labor, investments are included in the accompanying financial statements at market value as determined by quoted market price or at fair value as determined by the trustee. Purchase and sales of securities are reflected on a trade date basis.

All assets of the Plan are held by the Trustee and are segregated from the assets of the Company. The Master Trust holds the investments in The PVH Stock Fund. The Plan shares in the Master Trust interest and investment income based upon its participants’ shares of the Master Trust net assets available for benefits.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In December 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, “Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans” (FSP). This FSP requires investments in benefit-responsive investment contracts be presented at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan invests in investment contracts though a common/collective trust. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investments in the common/collective trust as well as the adjustment of the investment in the common/collective trust from fair value to contract value relating to the investment contracts. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In September, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. It applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Plan’s financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from the 2007 financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation.

Income Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated September 2, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
