Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended August 3, 2014 and August 4, 2013 were (0.8)% and 113.8%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2014 and August 4, 2013 were 4.5% and 244.3%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2014 were lower than the United States statutory rate due primarily to the favorable resolution in the second quarter of 2014 of uncertain tax positions approximating $24.0 million in international jurisdictions, and the favorable resolution for $6.0 million of an uncertain tax position related to European and United States transfer pricing arrangements. In addition, the rate is lower due to the impact of the benefit of lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns. With respect to the uncertain tax position on European and United States transfer pricing arrangements, on May 14, 2014, the Company resolved the position, for which it had previously recorded a liability of approximately $185.0 million, for approximately $179.0 million, which will be settled over three years. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2014, in addition to recognizing a tax benefit of approximately $6.0 million, the Company recorded a reduction of approximately $185.0 million in its liability for uncertain tax positions. The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2013 were higher than the United States statutory rate due principally to non-recurring discrete expense items related to the Warnaco integration, partially offset by the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns.
