EXPLANATORY NOTE

Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8 under the Securities Act, this Registration Statement is filed by G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (the ‘‘Company’’) for the purpose of registering additional shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the ‘‘Common Stock’’) under the G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the ‘‘Plan’’), as amended, which are the same class of securities as those registered under the currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-125804), filed on June 14, 2005 (the ‘‘Prior Registration Statement’’), relating to the Plan, and the contents of such Prior Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto or filings incorporated therein, are incorporated herein by this reference. 750,000 shares (after taking into effect a three-for-two split of our Common Stock effected on March 28, 2006) of Common Stock were registered for issuance under the Plan pursuant to the Prior Registration Statement.

Pursuant to Section 3 of the Plan, as amended, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan is subject to an automatic annual increase on each January 31 during the term of the Plan equal to six percent (6%) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on each such date (excluding any shares held in treasury) (the ‘‘evergreen provision’’). On June 7, 2007, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Plan that, among other things, increased the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan from 849,771 to 1,449,771. This Registration Statement registers (i) the 99,771 additional shares of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to the evergreen provision as of January 31, 2007 and (ii) 600,000 additional shares (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and other extraordinary corporate events) of Common Stock authorized for issuance pursuant to awards made under the Plan as a result of the recent amendment to the Plan.

Item 9.    Undertakings.

(a)    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 any 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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 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 any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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.

	(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.

	(5)	That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

	(ii)	If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be

		deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(b)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each fling of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act f 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.

(h)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised 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 and 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 of 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.
