Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012 were 3.3% and 21.2%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2013 and October 28, 2012 were 15.5% and 24.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2013 were lower than the United States statutory rate due to the impact of the benefit of lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns. In addition, the effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2013 was positively impacted by the recognition of foreign tax credits, which were generated from Warnaco integration activities and discrete items related to uncertain tax positions. Partially offsetting these benefits are the impact of state and local taxes. The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2012 were lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns and, to a lesser extent, discrete items related to uncertain tax positions. Also contributing to the rate differential in 2012 was a benefit resulting from previously unrecognized tax credits. Partially offsetting these benefits are the impact of state and local taxes.
