hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining
unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of
such documents.
The Registrant will furnish to each person, including any beneficial owner,
to whom this prospectus is delivered, without charge, a copy of any or all
of the information that has been incorporated by reference (including any
exhibits that are specifically incorporated by reference in that information)
upon oral or written request to:

Attn: Chief Financial Officer
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the
"Certificate of Incorporation"), provides that no director of the Registrant
shall be personally liable to the Registrant or to any of its stockholders for
monetary damages arising out of such director's breach of fiduciary duty,
except to the extent that the elimination or limitation of liability is not
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Delaware General
Corporation Law, as currently in effect, permits charter provisions
eliminating the liability of directors for breach of fiduciary duty, except
that directors remain liable for (i) any breach of the directors' duty of
loyalty to a company or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) any payment of a dividend or approval of a stock repurchase that is
illegal under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv)
any transaction from which the directors derived an improper personal
benefit. The effect of this provision of the Certificate of Incorporation
is that directors cannot be held liable for monetary damages arising from
breaches of their duty of care, unless the breach involves one of the four
exceptions described in the preceding sentence. The provision does not
prevent stockholders from obtaining injunctive or other equitable relief
against directors, nor does it shield directors from liability under federal
or state securities laws.
The Certificate of Incorporation and the Registrant's By-Laws further
provide for indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers to
the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, including circumstances in which indemnification is
otherwise discretionary.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
Exhibit Number Description
------------- --------------------------------------------------
5.1 Opinion of counsel as to legality of the shares of
the Registrant's Common Stock covered by this
Registration Statement.
23.1 Consent of Ernst & Young LLP.
23.2 Consent of counsel (included in Exhibit 5.1 above).
24.1 Power of Attorney (contained in Signature Page hereto).
Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and an deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished
to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference
in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining an liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant

requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly

Casual Male Retail Group, Inc.
555 Turnpike Road
Canton, Massachusetts 02021
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am Vice President and General Counsel of Casual Male Retail Group,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and have acted as counsel
to the Company in connection with its Registration Statement on
Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") filed pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating
to the registration of 500,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's
common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), that may
be purchased by the participants of the Casual Male Retail Group, Inc.
401(k) Salaried Savings Plan and the Casual Male Retail Group, Inc.
401(k) Hourly Savings Plan (together, as the same may be amended
or supplemented from time to time, the "Plans").
For purposes of the opinion expressed in this letter, I have examined
copies of the Registration Statement, the Plans, the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, records of
the corporate proceedings of the Company and such other documents and
records of the Company as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a
basis for such opinion. In making my examination, I have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and the
conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me as
photostatic or conformed copies.
I am a member of the Bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and,
for purposes of the opinion expressed in this letter, do not hold
myself out as expert on, nor am I in rendering the opinion expressed
herein passing on, the laws of any jurisdiction other than the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
Based on the foregoing, and having regard to such legal considerations
as I have deemed relevant, I am of the opinion that, upon the issuance
and purchase of the Shares in accordance with the terms and provisions
of the respective Plans, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable.
I hold options to purchase 5,000 shares of CMRG Common Stock.
I hereby consent to the inclusion of this letter as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. In giving such consent I do not thereby
concede that I am within the category of persons whose consent is
required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Arlene Feldman
