Significant Accounting Policies	1. Significant Accounting Policies *Basis of Presentation —* The condensed consolidated financial statements herein include the accounts of The Men’s Wearhouse, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). As applicable under such regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading, and the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all elimination entries and normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2013. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. *Recent Accounting Pronouncements —* In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance regarding the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The update requires disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. As this update only affects disclosure requirements its adoption at the beginning of fiscal 2013 had no impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In July 2012, the FASB issued updated guidance regarding testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amendments in this update will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The adoption of this update at the beginning of our 2013 fiscal year had no impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows but may change the way we perform our testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment.
