Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	Fair Value Measurement The Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s own judgments about the assumptions market participation would use in pricing and asset or liability. The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, foreign currency derivatives, accounts receivable, accounts payable and its variable rate long-term debt approximated book value at both February 29, 2016 and August 31, 2015 due to their short-term nature and the fact that the interest rates approximated market rates. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding Senior Notes was $291.7 million and $287.3 million at February 29, 2016 and August 31, 2015, respectively. The fair value of the Senior Notes was based on quoted inactive market prices and is therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. At February 29, 2016, goodwill in the Cortland, Viking and maximatecc reporting units, as well as the indefinite lived intangible assets (tradenames) and Viking amortizable intangible assets and fixed assets were adjusted to estimated fair value, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge (as discussed in Note 3, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"). In order to arrive at the implied fair value of goodwill, the Company assigned the fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The indefinite lived intangible assets were valued using the relief of royalty income approach. Fixed assets and amortizable intangible assets were also tested for recoverability using an undiscounted cash flow analysis based upon current sales projections and profitability for each asset group. Management measured the impairment loss of the Viking fixed assets and amortizable intangible assets as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded their fair value. These represent Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.
