SCHEDULE TO
     This Final Amendment amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO-I filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 20, 2005 by Blair Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Blair” or the “Company”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO-I/A filed with the SEC on August 8, 2005 and Amendment No. 2 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO-I/A filed with the SEC on August 15, 2005, pursuant to Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in connection with an offer by Blair to purchase up to 4,400,000 shares of common stock, without nominal or par value, or such lesser number of shares as are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, at a price of $42.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest. Blair’s offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 20, 2005 and in the related Letter of Transmittal which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constituted the offer. This Final Amendment is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(4) of the Exchange Act. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal were previously filed with the Schedule TO-I as exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii), respectively.
All information in the Offer to Purchase, Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 is incorporated in this Final Amendment by reference in response to all of the items in Schedule TO-I, except that such information is hereby amended to the extent specifically provided herein.
The Offer to Purchase is amended and supplemented as follows:
1.   In Item 14. Extension of the Tender Offer; Termination; Amendment, on page 43 of the Offer to Purchase, the following paragraph is hereby inserted at the end of Item 14,
 
    “The tender offer expired at 12:00 midnight, Eastern Daylight Time, on Tuesday, August 16, 2005, and was not extended. We have accepted for purchase 4,400,000 shares at $42.00 per share. Due to over-subscription, Blair is purchasing 69.78 percent of each stockholder’s total shares tendered and will return to each stockholder 30.22 percent of those shares tendered.”
On August 23, 2005 Blair issued a press release announcing the final results of the tender offer. A copy of the press release is filed with this Final Amendment as Exhibit (a)(5)(vii) and is incorporated herein by reference.
