Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with my request that you sell for my account, under Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, securities of Delta Apparel, Inc. (the “Company”), I represent to you that:
1.   At least one year has elapsed since I acquired the securities from the Company. If I purchased the securities, they have been fully paid for at least one year.
 
2.   I have provided you with a Form 144 Notice of Proposed Sale of Securities pursuant to rule 144, which you will file on my behalf with the SEC before or when you place any order to sell. All statements that I have made and information on the form are true and correct in all respects.
 
3.   I will not make any payment except to you in connection with the execution of an order to sell, and you will receive from me normal brokers’ commission.
 
4.   I have not directly or indirectly pursued orders to buy in connection with the proposed sale, and I will not do so.
 
5.   I do not intend to sell additional securities of the same class through any other means, either individually or as part of a group.
 
6.   During the past three months, the amount of securities of the same class sold by all “persons,” as defined in Rule 144, whose sales are required to be taken into consideration was 0. This amount does not exceed the greater of either (a) or (b) below:
  a.   One percent (1%) of the total outstanding class of shares of the Company’s stock.
 
  b.   The average weekly trading volume of the Company’s stock on all national securities exchanges (Nasdaq included) during the four weeks preceding the filing of my Form 144 notice with the SEC.
7.   I believe that the Company has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144.
 
8.   I understand that the transfer agent’s delay in transferring the securities may delay the payment of the proceeds of the sale.
 
9.   I consent to First Clearing, LLC communicating and conferring with the Company, its attorney, and its transfer agent in connection with my order, and I understand that the proceeds of sale may not be paid until the securities have been transferred into the name of First Clearing, LLC.
 
10.   I understand that in effecting the sale of securities in this manner, you are relying on the truth and accuracy of the information in this letter and in my Form 144 notice. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless you and your affiliates, including your respective officers, directors, employees, agents and assigns, against any claims (including legal fees) incurred by you or your affiliates arising out of the sale and transfer of the securities.
