FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund made the following comment about G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (NASDAQ:GIII) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:

G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (NASDAQ:GIII) is an apparel manufacturer that licenses the Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein women’s and other categories in the U.S. and owns the Donna Karan, Karl Lagerfeld and a stable of smaller brands globally. Shares collapsed after a third quarter 2022 earnings report when the company announced that Tommy and Calvin’s owner, PVH (which the Fund also owns), was in-sourcing the licensing arrangement.20 We had considered this possibility and owned G-III in smaller size. G-III remains cheap relative to its peers but with lingering questions about the license transition, bloated inventory and the quality of the fully owned brands.”
