(a) | Stores net sales represent all Full-line Store sales. Direct Marketing net sales represent catalog call center and Internet sales. Net sales from operating segments below the GAAP quantitative thresholds are attributable primarily to our two other operating segments — Factory stores and Franchise stores. These operating segments have never met any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments and are included in “Corporate and Other.” |
(b) | Operating income (loss) for the Stores and Direct Marketing segments represents profit before allocations of overhead from the corporate office and the distribution centers (except order fulfillment costs which are allocated to Direct Marketing), interest and income taxes (“four wall” contribution). Total Company shipping costs to customers of approximately $5.0 million and $5.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal years 2012 and 2013 , respectively, and approximately $7.8 million and $8.5 million for the first six months of fiscal years 2012 and 2013, respectively, were recorded to “Sales and marketing, including occupancy costs” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Operating income (loss) for “Corporate and Other” consists primarily of costs included in general and administrative costs and operating income or loss related to the Factory stores and the Franchise stores operating segments. Total operating income represents profit before interest and income taxes. |
(c) | Capital expenditures include payments for property, plant and equipment made for the reportable segment. |

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
• | 10.7% decrease in net sales, driven by a 13.2% decrease in the Stores segment sales, which includes the impact of new stores opened, and a 1.9% decrease in the Direct Marketing segment sales; |
• | 15.9% decrease in comparable store sales and a 15.5% decrease in combined comparable store and Internet sales. |
• | 40 basis point increase in gross profit margins (gross profit as a percent of net sales) primarily due to higher net average selling prices; |
• | 470 basis point increase in sales and marketing costs as a percentage of net sales driven primarily by higher occupancy, Store and Direct marketing payroll and other variable selling costs as a percentage of net sales, partially offset by lower advertising and marketing costs as a percentage of net sales; and |
• | 10 basis point increase in general and administrative costs as a percentage of net sales driven primarily by higher corporate overhead, distribution center costs and professional services costs, partially offset by lower corporate compensation (which includes total company performance based incentive compensation other than commissions) as a percentage of net sales. |

SEGMENT REPORTING | SEGMENT REPORTING We have two reportable segments: Stores and Direct Marketing. The Stores segment includes all Company-owned stores excluding Factory stores (“Full-line Stores”). The Direct Marketing segment includes our catalog call center and Internet operations. While each segment offers a similar mix of men’s clothing to the retail customer, the Stores segment also provides complete alterations, while the Direct Marketing segment provides certain limited alterations. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. We evaluate performance of the segments based on “four wall” contribution, which excludes any allocation of overhead from the corporate office and the distribution centers (except order fulfillment costs, which are allocated to Direct Marketing), interest and income taxes. Our segments are strategic business units that offer similar products to retail customers by two distinctively different methods. Stores segment customers travel to Company stores to purchase merchandise and/or alterations and typically take their purchases with them from the Stores. Most of our Direct Marketing segment customers visit one or more of our Internet web sites and order online. Some of our Direct Marketing customers order through our catalog by phone, mail or fax. Direct Marketing purchases are shipped to the customer. Segment data is presented in the following tables: Three months ended August 3, 2013

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include bank deposit accounts, money market accounts and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. At August 3, 2013, substantially all of the cash and cash equivalents were invested in U.S. Treasury bills with original maturities of 90 days or less and overnight federally-sponsored agency notes. Short-term Investments - Short-term investments consist of investments in securities with remaining maturities of less than one year, excluding investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. At August 3, 2013, short-term investments consisted solely of U.S. Treasury bills with remaining maturities ranging from less than one month to six months. These investments are classified as held-to-maturity and their market values approximate their carrying values. Inventories - We record inventory at the lower of cost or market (“LCM”). Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. We capitalize into inventory certain warehousing and freight delivery costs associated with shipping our merchandise to the point of sale. We periodically review quantities of inventories on hand and compare these amounts to the expected sales of each product. We record a charge to cost of goods sold for the amount required to reduce the carrying value of inventory to estimated net realizable value. Landlord Contributions - We typically receive reimbursement from landlords for a portion of the cost of leasehold improvements for new stores and, occasionally, for renovations and relocations. These landlord contributions are initially accounted for as an increase to deferred rent and as an increase to prepaid expenses and other current assets when the related store is opened. When collected, we record cash and reduce the prepaid expenses and other current assets account. The collection of landlord contributions is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as an operating activity. The deferred rent is amortized over the lease term in a manner that is consistent with our policy to straight-line rent expense over the term of the lease. The amortization is recorded as a reduction to sales and marketing expense, which is consistent with the classification of lease expense. Gift Cards and Certificates - We sell gift cards and gift certificates to individuals and companies. Our incentive gift certificates are used by various companies as a reward for achievement for their employees. We also redeem proprietary gift cards and gift certificates marketed by third-party premium/incentive companies. We record a liability when a gift card/certificate is purchased. As the gift card/certificate is redeemed, we reduce the liability and record revenue. Substantially all of our gift cards/certificates do not have expiration dates and they are all subject to state escheatment laws. Based on historical experience, gift cards/certificates redemptions after the escheatment due date are remote and we recognize any income (also referred to as “breakage”) on these unredeemed gift cards/certificates on a specific identification basis on the escheatment due date. Tuxedo Rental Products - Revenues from tuxedo rental products are recognized on a gross basis upon delivery of rental products to customers. When a customer orders a tuxedo rental from us, we place an order with a national distributor who delivers the product to our stores, typically within several days prior to the intended use. The national distributor owns the rental product and charges the Company a rental cost for each rental and delivery which is recorded to "Costs of goods sold". Equity Compensation -We account for our equity awards in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment” (“ASC 718”), which requires the compensation cost resulting from all share-based awards to be recognized in the financial statements. The amount of compensation is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and is recognized over the vesting period of the awards. The vesting of awards to both the officers and directors is subject to service conditions being met, currently ranging from one to three years. Additionally, the vesting of awards to officers is subject to performance conditions being met in the fiscal year that the awards are granted such as, among other things, the attainment of certain annual earnings and performance goals. For these officer awards, we estimate the probability that such goals will be attained based on results-to-date at each interim quarter-end and record compensation cost to "General and administrative expense" for these awards based on the awards projected to vest. Share-based compensation expense recognized for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2013 related to equity awards issued under the Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Incentive Plan”) was $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and the tax benefit recognized related to this compensation for each of the second quarter and the first six months was $0.2 million and $0.4 million. Share based compensation expense for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2012 was $0.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and the tax benefit recognized related to this compensation was $0.3 million and $0.5 million. Recently Proposed Amendments to Accounting Standards - In May 2013, the FASB issued an updated exposure draft, “Leases” (the “Exposure Draft”), which would replace the existing guidance in ASC 840, “Leases.” Under the Exposure Draft, a lessee's rights and obligations under all leases, including existing and new arrangements, would be recognized as assets and liabilities, respectively, on the balance sheet. A final standard is expected to be issued in 2014 and is expected to be effective no earlier than our fiscal year 2017 annual reporting period. If this lease guidance becomes effective on the terms currently proposed by FASB, it will likely have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. However, as the standard-setting process is still ongoing, we are unable to determine at this time the impact this proposed change in accounting may have on our consolidated financial statements. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
EARNINGS PER SHARE | EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the diluted weighted average common shares, which reflects the potential dilution related to common stock equivalents. The weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted EPS are as follows:
We use the treasury method for calculating the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. For the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal years 2012 and 2013, there were no anti-dilutive common stock equivalents. |

Loss Contingency, Information about Litigation Matters [Abstract] | |
LEGAL MATTERS | LEGAL MATTERS On March 16, 2012, Neil Holmes, a former employee of the Company, individually and on behalf of all those similarly situated, filed a Complaint (the "Holmes Complaint") against the Company in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, Case No. 112CV220780, alleging various violations of California wage and labor laws. The Holmes Complaint seeks, among other relief, certification of the case as a class action, injunctive relief, monetary damages, penalties, restitution, other equitable relief, interest, attorney's fees and costs. On December 21, 2012, the parties accepted a mediator's proposal to settle this case. The proposed settlement has been recorded by the Company. The parties entered into a settlement agreement on April 19, 2013. On or about June 14, 2013, the said Superior Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement agreement, scheduled a final approval hearing and took certain other action in furtherance of the settlement. Although we expect the Superior Court to finally approve the settlement agreement, we cannot provide any assurance that it will do so. On August 29, 2012, Patrick Edward Camasta, individually and as the representative of a class of similarly situated persons, filed a putative class action complaint (the “Original Camasta Complaint”) against the Company in the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, Lake County, Illinois (Case No. 12CH4405). The Company removed the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (Case No. 12 CV 7782). The Original Camasta Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company's pattern and practice of advertising its normal retail prices as temporary price reductions violate the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act and the Illinois Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The Original Camasta Complaint seeks, among other relief, certification of the case as a class action, actual and punitive damages, attorney fees and costs and injunctive relief. On February 7, 2013, upon the motion of the Company, the said U.S. District Court issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order dismissing the Original Camasta Complaint in its entirety, without prejudice. On March 1, 2013, Camasta filed a First Amended Class Action Complaint in the said United States District Court making substantially the same allegations as in the Original Camasta Complaint. On July 25, 2013, upon the motion of the Company, the said U.S. District Court issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order dismissing the First Amended Class Action Complaint in its entirety, with prejudice. Camasta has appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. On July 30, 2013, Matthew B. Johnson, et al., on behalf of themselves and all Ohio residents similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint (the “Johnson Complaint”) against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern District (Case No. 2:13-cv-756). The Johnson Complaint alleges, among other things, deceptive sales and marketing practices by the Company relating to its use of the words “free” and “regular price”. The Johnson Complaint seeks, among other relief, class certification, compensatory damages, declaratory relief, injunctive relief and costs and disbursements (including attorneys' fees). We intend to defend this lawsuit vigorously. (The law firm which filed the Johnson Complaint on behalf of the plaintiffs is one of the law firms which filed the “Schneider Complaint,” which is discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 4, 2013. On July 24, 2013, the Schneider Complaint was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Approximately one week later, the substantially similar Johnson Complaint was filed in United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.) In addition to the litigation discussed above, we are a party to routine litigation matters that are incidental to our business and are currently not expected to be material. From time to time, additional legal matters in which we may be named as a defendant are expected to arise in the normal course of our business activities. The resolution of our litigation matters cannot be accurately predicted and we have not estimated the costs or potential losses, if any, associated with these matters. Accordingly, we cannot determine whether our insurance coverage, if any, would be sufficient to cover such costs or potential losses, if any, and we have not recorded any provision for cost or loss associated with these actions. It is possible that our consolidated financial statements could be materially impacted in a particular fiscal quarter or year by an unfavorable outcome or settlement of any of these actions. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date. We account for uncertainties in income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements. We recognize tax liabilities for uncertain income tax positions (“unrecognized tax benefits”) where an evaluation has indicated that it is more likely than not that the tax positions will not be sustained in an audit. We estimate the unrecognized tax benefits as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. We re-evaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis or when new information becomes available to management. The re-evaluations are based on many factors, including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, settled issues as a result of audits, expirations due to statutes of limitations, and new federal or state audit activity. We also recognize accrued interest and penalties related to these unrecognized tax benefits. Changes in these accrued items are included in the provision for income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was 38.6% as compared with 37.8% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. For the first six months of fiscal year 2013, the effective tax rate was 38.5% as compared with 38.4% for the same period in fiscal year 2012. The increase in the rate for the first six months of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the same period of fiscal year 2012 was driven by higher state income taxes, partially offset by lower expense related to the liability for unrecognized benefits in fiscal year 2013 compared to fiscal year 2012. Significant changes to U.S. federal or state income tax rules could occur as part of future legislation. Such changes could influence our future income tax expense and/or the timing of income tax deductions. The impact of such changes on our business operations and financial statements remains uncertain. However, as the possibility of any enactment progresses, we will continue to monitor current developments and assess the potential implications of these tax law changes on our business and consolidated financial statements. We file a federal income tax return and state and local income tax returns in various jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has audited our tax returns through fiscal year 2008, including its examination of the tax returns for fiscal years 2007 and 2008, which was finalized in October 2010. No material adjustments were required to these tax returns as a result of the examination by the IRS. For the years before fiscal year 2009, the majority of our state and local income tax returns are no longer subject to examinations by taxing authorities |
