Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and Administrator of the
VF Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly Employees

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the VF Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly Employees as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan Administrator. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the VF Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly Employees as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) at December 31, 2007 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

VF CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

VF Corporation (“VF”) sponsors the VF Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly Employees (the “Plan”), which is a cash or deferred plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). The Plan is comprised of two parts: a contributory “Compensation Deferral” part and a noncontributory “Retirement Contribution” part.

Under the Compensation Deferral part of the Plan, hourly employees of specified subsidiaries may elect to contribute between 2% and 50% of their compensation to the Plan.

Effective January 1, 2005, VF added a noncontributory retirement contribution feature for employees hired after December 31, 2004 and certain other eligible employees. Eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Retirement Contribution feature. VF makes quarterly retirement contributions to the Plan in an amount equal to a percentage of eligible employee earnings based on each employee’s continuous service with VF since January 1, 2005. The VF contribution ranges from 2% of earnings for participants with less than 10 years of VF service (which is all current participants) to 5% of earnings for participants with 20 or more years of VF service. Employees immediately vest in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Employees vest in the retirement contribution feature plus actual earnings thereon ratably by month and are fully vested after 5 years of service or normal retirement, disability or death.

Plan investments (excluding participant loans) are held in the VF Corporation Tax-Advantaged Savings Plan Master Trust (“VF Master Trust”) administered by Fidelity Management Trust Company (“Fidelity”). Fidelity provides unified investment management for certain retirement savings plans of VF Corporation. Employee contributions under the Compensation Deferral feature are invested at the direction of the employee in one or more funds administered by the Plan’s trustees. All Plan investments in the VF Master Trust are trusteed by Fidelity, with the exception of one fund trusteed by UMB Bank, n.a. (“UMB Bank”). VF contributions in the Retirement Contribution feature are invested in the same investment selections as a participant has chosen for his Compensation Deferral balance, except that contributions cannot be invested in VF Common Stock. VF contributions for the Retirement Contribution feature for those not participating in the Compensation Deferral feature are invested as directed by those individual participants.

Individual accounts are maintained for each participant; each account includes the individual’s contributions, VF retirement contributions and investment funds’ earnings, reduced by administrative expenses. Accounts become payable upon retirement, disability, death or termination of employment. Participants may also withdraw all or a portion of their Compensation Deferral account balance by filing a written request that demonstrates financial hardship as defined by the Plan. Participants may elect to receive distributions in a lump sum, or accounts may be rolled over into another IRS-approved tax deferral account.

Forfeitures are used to reduce future retirement contributions or Plan expenses. Unused forfeitures at December 31, 2007 and 2006 available to reduce future retirement contributions or expenses totaled $113,146 and $33,951, respectively. In 2007, no forfeitures were used to reduce retirement contributions or Plan expenses.

Participants may borrow up to 50% or $50,000 of the participant’s total account balance in the Compensation Deferral portion of the Plan. Participants are charged interest at the Morgan Guaranty “Published” prime rate at the time of the loan and repay the principal within 60 months, or 120 months if the loan is for the purchase of their primary residence. Payments are made through payroll deduction. Payment in full is required at termination of employment.

Although it has no intent to do so, VF may terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time. In the event of termination of the Plan, participants became fully vested in their accounts.

NOTE B — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Plan’s allocated share of the VF Master Trust’s net assets and investment income is based on the total of each individual participant’s share of the VF Master Trust. The investments of the VF Master Trust are valued at fair value. Investments in registered investment companies and the common collective trust are valued on the basis of the relative interest of each participating investor (including each participant) in the fair value of the underlying net assets of the respective investment company or common collective trust. Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the last day of the year; listed securities for which no sale was

reported on that date are recorded at the last reported bid price. Securities that are not listed on an exchange are generally traded in active markets and valued at quoted market prices. Government and agency bonds are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities, including gains and losses thereon, are recorded on the trade date. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date; interest is recorded as earned on the accrual basis.

Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximates fair value.

Administrative expenses consisting primarily of fees for legal, accounting and other services are paid by VF in accordance with the Plan. Other administrative expenses are paid by the Plan.

Benefits are recorded when paid.

In preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The Plan provides for various mutual fund investment options in stocks, bonds and fixed income securities. The Plan also provides for investment in VF Common Stock. Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

NOTE C — INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has issued a favorable determination letter dated September 23, 2002 stating that the Plan qualifies under the appropriate sections of the IRC and is, therefore, not subject to tax under present income tax law. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The VF Corporation Pension Plan Committee is not aware of any action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan’s qualified status. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

NOTE D — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related parties to the Plan include VF (the Plan sponsor) and Fidelity and UMB Bank (the Plan’s trustees). Certain investments in the VF Master Trust are funds managed by Fidelity and UMB Bank, and therefore transactions in these investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The Plan also invests in the common stock of the Plan Sponsor. These transactions also qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

NOTE E— INVESTMENTS IN THE VF MASTER TRUST

Except for participant loans, all the Plan’s investments are included in the VF Master Trust, which was established for the investment of assets of this Plan and the VF Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees. Each participating retirement plan has an undivided interest in the VF Master Trust. At December 31, 2007, and 2006, the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the VF Master Trust was approximately 2.1% and 2.3%, respectively.

The following represents investments and net appreciation in fair value of investments, interest and dividend income and other receipts of the VF Master Trust:

NOTE F – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“Statement 157”). Statement 157 clarified the definition of fair value, established a framework and a hierarchy based on the level of observability and judgment associated with inputs used in measuring fair value, and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not require any new fair value measurements. Statement 157 is effective for the Plan’s 2008 year.
