Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted, in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, these interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The consolidated balance sheet as of February 3, 2018 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The unaudited results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of future results or results to be expected for the full year ending February 2, 2019. You should read these statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 2018.

Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of adopting Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) are discussed below in “Significant Accounting Policies Update” and Note 3.

Recently Adopted Accounting Policies, Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Significant Accounting Policies Update

Recently Adopted Accounting Policies

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605 – Revenue Recognition. The new guidance established principles for reporting revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and related amendments, collectively known as Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“Topic 606”) as of February 4, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. See “Significant Accounting Policies Update” and Note 3 for a discussion of our updated policies related to revenue recognition and disclosures related to the impact of this standard.

In October 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-16 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This update is intended to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Under the new guidance, an entity would recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences of an intra-entity asset transfer when the transfer occurs. Intra-entity inventory transfers would still be an exception. The provisions of ASU 2016-16 were adopted as of February 4, 2018 under the modified retrospective method with no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 – Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard was retrospectively adopted as of February 4, 2018 and did not have an impact on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09 – Codification Improvements, which facilitates amendments to a variety of topics to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the accounting standards codification. The effective date of the standard is dependent on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon the issuance of this standard. A majority of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 will be effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We will be required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.This standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2018, The FASB issued ASU 2018-07 – Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The provisions of ASU 2018-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company plans to adopt these standards beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2018-07 will have on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect that impact to be material.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 – Leases. The amendments in this update include a new FASB ASC Topic 842, which supersedes Topic 840. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of interim or annual reporting periods. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 – Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. The amendments are intended to address narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments in ASU 2016-02. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 – Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides an additional (and optional) transition method by allowing entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. These provisions are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2016-02 and related amendments will have on its consolidated financial statements and expects to raise significant “Right of Use” assets and significant, offsetting lease liabilities. These amounts have not yet been quantified. The Company plans to adopt these standards beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

Significant Accounting Policies Update

Adoption of ASC Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

On February 4, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts which were not completed as of February 4, 2018. As part of the adoption of Topic 606, Topic 340-20 – Capitalized Advertising Costs was superseded and therefore, the Company transitioned to ASC 720-35 – Advertising Costs for reporting on costs of advertising. Results for reporting periods beginning after February 4, 2018 are presented under Topic 606 and Topic 720, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605 and Topic 340.

The Company recorded a cumulative reduction to opening retained earnings of $0.3 million. The impact on opening retained earnings was a $0.8 million decrease from the acceleration of prepaid catalog expenses offset by a $0.5 million increase from the recognition of direct revenues previously deferred under Topic 605.

Effective February 4, 2018, the Company changed its consolidated balance sheet presentation for expected sales returns and recorded a $5.0 million return asset and a corresponding increase to the return liability to present our sales reserve gross in accordance with Topic 606. In addition, as of the date of adoption of Topic 606, the Company will present reimbursements of costs of marketing programs related to the private label credit card gross in the consolidated statement of operations with no impact to opening retained earnings.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is primarily derived from the sale of apparel and accessory merchandise through our retail channel and direct channel, which includes website and catalog phone orders. Revenue also includes shipping and handling fees collected from customers. Topic 606 requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.  Revenue from our retail channel is recognized at the time of sale and revenue from our direct channel is recognized upon shipment of merchandise to the customer.

The Company has a return policy where merchandise returns will be accepted within 90 days of the original purchase date.  At the time of sale, the Company records an estimated sales reserve for merchandise returns based on historical prior returns experience and expected future returns. The estimated sales reserve is recorded as a return asset (and corresponding adjustment to cost of goods sold) for the cost of inventory and a return liability for the amount to settle the return with a customer (and a corresponding adjustment to revenue). The return asset and return liability are recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company collects and remits sales and use taxes in all states in which retail and direct sales occur and taxes are applicable. These taxes are reported on a net basis and are thereby excluded from revenue.

The Company sells gift cards without expiration dates to customers. The Company does not charge administrative fees on unused gift cards. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are recorded as a contract liability until the customer redeems the gift card or when the likelihood of redemption is remote. Based on historical experience, the Company estimates the value of outstanding gift cards that will ultimately not be redeemed (“gift card breakage”) and will not be escheated under statutory unclaimed property laws. This gift card breakage is recognized as revenue over the time period established by the Company’s historical gift card redemption pattern.

The Company recognizes revenues from shipments to customers before the shipping and handling activities occur and will accrue those related costs. Shipping and handling costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. There is no change to the Company’s comparative reporting of shipping and handling costs as a result of adopting of Topic 606.

Credit Card Agreement

Credit Card Agreement

The Company has an arrangement with a third party to provide a private label credit card to its customers through August 2023, and will automatically renew thereafter for successive two year terms. The Company does not bear the credit risk associated with the private label credit card at any point prior to the termination of the agreement, at which point the Company is obligated to purchase the receivables. If the arrangement is terminated prior to September 7, 2021 and other criteria are met, the Company is obligated to pay a purchase price premium. The potential impact of the purchase obligation cannot be reasonably estimated, and therefore, has not been recorded.

The Company receives royalty payments through its private label credit card agreement. The royalty payments are recognized as revenue when they are received. Royalty payments recognized in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018 were $1.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2017 were $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

The Company also receives reimbursements for costs of marketing programs related to the private label credit card, which are recorded as revenue as earned and the costs incurred are recorded as operating expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Reimbursements for costs of marketing programs of $0.4 million and $1.5 million were recognized in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018, respectively.

The credit card agreement provides a signing bonus to the Company, which is recognized into revenue over the life of the agreement.

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs

The Company incurs costs to produce, print, and distribute its catalogs. Catalog costs are considered direct response advertising, which are capitalized as incurred, and expensed when the catalog is mailed to the customer (the first time the advertising occurs). Advertising expenses were $8.6 million and $18.7 million in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018, respectively, and $8.8 million and $18.0 million in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2017, respectively. The costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Other advertising costs are recorded as incurred. Other advertising costs recorded were $5.4 million and $11.2 million in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2018, respectively, and $5.6 million and $10.5 million in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2017, respectively. The costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
