RICHMOND, Va., April 7  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- S&K Famous Brands, Inc. (Pink
Sheets: SKFB)(http://www.skmenswear.com/) today announced sales for the five
weeks ended April 2, 2005. Total sales for the month were up 23.3% to $24.0
million compared with $19.5 million last year. Same-store sales were up 22.4%.

Sales for the nine-week period ended April 2, 2005 were up 16.6% to $40.6
million compared with $34.8 million for the same period last year.  Same-store
sales were up 15.5%.

The Company's comparable store sales for the months of March and April 2005
should be more appropriately measured on a combined nine-week basis due to a
calendar shift which moved Easter into March this year from April last year.
Historically, the Company experiences significant sales increases in the weeks
prior to Easter.

Beginning with April's sales results, to be announced on May 5, 2005, the
Company expects to begin posting all financial information only on its website
at http://www.skmenswear.com/.
