Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
DERIVATIVES DERIVATIVES
Derivative financial instruments are principally used in the management of foreign currency risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the cash flow risk from the forecasted purchase and sale of inventory denominated in foreign currencies, and designated as a cash flow hedge. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Colombian Pesos, Euros, Japanese Yen, Mexican Pesos, Pound Sterling, or U.S. Dollars. The fair value of effective hedges are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") and as a derivative asset or liability, as applicable, until the purchase or sale is recognized, or otherwise determined to be ineffective or discontinued, at which point the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified to earnings.
Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedge. The Company periodically enters into forward contracts to economically hedge a portion of risk from intercompany balances denominated in foreign currencies. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Czech Koruna, Euros, Japanese Yen, Polish Zloty, Pound Sterling, or U.S. Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of related intercompany balances with the gain or loss on the derivative instruments recorded in earnings offsetting the change in value of the related intercompany balance.

There was no gain or loss realized from cash flow hedges due to the ineffectiveness or discontinuation of the cash flow hedge because it was not considered probable that the original forecasted transaction would not occur. See Note 11 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for unrealized gains and losses initially recognized as other comprehensive income and the accumulated unrealized gain (loss) associated with cash flow hedges recognized in AOCI. As of March 29, 2026, the net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings associated with cash flow hedges over the next 12 months is $1.6 million, net of tax.
