Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	P. SUBSEQUENT EVENT Towards the end of December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged globally. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2019, and in response to this pandemic, on March 17, 2020, the Company temporarily closed all of its retail locations through at least March 28, 2020. The Company’s direct business through www.dxl.com remains operational. The Company’s current contingency plans include the reduction of operating expenses, capital expenditure spending, and the cancellation of inventory receipts in an effort to preserve liquidity. Although it is not possible to reliably estimate the length or severity of this outbreak and hence its financial impact, any prolonged closing of the Company’s retail stores and/or its distribution center would result in a loss of sales and profits and other material adverse effects.

The entire disclosure for significant events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Examples include: the sale of a capital stock issue, purchase of a business, settlement of litigation, catastrophic loss, significant foreign exchange rate changes, loans to insiders or affiliates, and transactions not in the ordinary course of business.
