Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation:
Basis of Presentation:  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial reporting and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  We believe the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented.  Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for our full fiscal year.  The significant accounting policies applied during the interim periods presented are consistent with the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2016.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references to assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in these financial statements reflect continuing operations and exclude any amounts related to our former Ben Sherman operating group, which is classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

In order to conform to current period classification, certain gift with purchase amounts totaling $0.7 million previously reported as SG&A have been reclassified to cost of goods sold for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2016. This reclassification resulted in a decrease in SG&A and a corresponding increase in cost of goods sold in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2016, with no impact on previously reported net earnings.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Applicable to Future Periods
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance which provides a single, comprehensive accounting model for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This guidance has been revised and clarified through supplemental adoption guidance subsequent to May 2014. This new revenue recognition guidance supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance which specifies that revenue is recognized when risks and rewards transfer to a customer. Under the new guidance, revenue will be recognized pursuant to a five-step approach: (1) identify the contracts with the customer; (2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contracts; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The new guidance is effective for us beginning in Fiscal 2018, and may be applied via the full retrospective method to all prior periods presented or through the modified retrospective method as a cumulative adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at the date of initial adoption. We have not finalized our determination of our adoption method. We have initiated a review of our revenue streams including retail, e-commerce, wholesale and royalty income to evaluate the impact of the adoption of the revised guidance on our consolidated financial statements, but have not completed the assessment of the impact of adopting the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard on leasing. The new standard will require companies to record most leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. For these leases, we will be required to recognize a right to use asset and lease liability for the obligation created by the leases. This guidance will be effective in Fiscal 2019 with early adoption permitted. The guidance requires the use of the modified retrospective transition approach. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements, but considering our in-place operating leases, we anticipate that the new lease guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated balance sheet for the recognition of lease-related assets and liabilities.
In June 2016, the FASB issued revised guidance on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, which amends the impairment model by requiring companies to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain financial instruments, including trade receivables. This guidance will be effective in Fiscal 2020 with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued revised guidance on the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for intra-entity asset transfers. The revised guidance requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset (other than inventory) when the transfer occurs. This guidance will be effective in Fiscal 2018 with early adoption permitted. The guidance requires the use of the modified retrospective method of adoption which results in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued revised guidance on the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the second step from the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The single quantitative step test requires companies to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and record an impairment charge for the amount that the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance will be effective in 2020 with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017.
In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance that provides a more narrow framework to be used in evaluating whether a set of assets and activities constitute a business. The guidance will be effective in Fiscal 2018 with early adoption permitted. We expect that we will apply this guidance to any future business combination. The impact on our consolidated financial statements will depend on the facts and circumstances of any specific future transactions.
