SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS To Be Held on April 28, 2009

This proxy statement supplement, dated April 3, 2009, supplements the proxy statement (which we refer to as the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 23, 2009 relating to the annual meeting of shareholders of V.F. Corporation (VF) to be held on Tuesday, April 28, 2009, at 10:30 a.m. at the O.Henry Hotel, Caldwell Room, 624 Green Valley Road, Greensboro, North Carolina. The purpose of this supplement is to provide information about a recent change in VF’s policy relating to personal use of corporate aircraft. Except as described in this supplement, the information provided in the Proxy Statement continues to apply. To the extent that information in this supplement differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information in this supplement is more current.

On April 3, 2009, VF changed its practice regarding the personal use of corporate aircraft so that VF will no longer provide its executive officers with a gross-up to cover the individual income tax incurred when corporate aircraft are used for personal purposes. Previously, VF’s executive officers would receive a gross-up for the tax associated with the value of personal usage during each fiscal year.
