HanesBrands has struggled recently. Saddled with $3.6 billion in debt, the company has floated the idea of selling its Champion brand after activist investor Barington Capital urged the manufacturer to trim its financial obligations. And after reporting a 16.8 percent dip in sales to $383.6 million this quarter, HanesBrands received an additional blow as competitor Gildan reported flat sales numbers at $744 million.
