Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Note A Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business: VF Corporation (and its subsidiaries, collectively known as VF) is a global apparel company based in the United States. VF designs and manufactures or sources from independent contractors a variety of apparel and footwear for all ages. Products are marketed primarily under VF-owned brand names. VF has significant market shares in outdoor and action sports apparel, jeanswear and sportswear. VF is also a leader in daypacks, backpacks and technical outdoor equipment and in occupational apparel. VF markets these products to a broad customer base throughout the world. Products having various price points are sold through multiple channels of distribution, including specialty stores, department stores, national chains, mass merchants and VF-operated retail stores. VFs ten largest customers, all U.S.-based retailers, accounted for 27% of 2009 total revenues. Sales are made on an unsecured basis under customary terms that may vary by product, channel of distribution or geographic region. VF continuously monitors the creditworthiness of its customers and has established internal policies regarding customer credit limits. The breadth of product offerings, combined with the large number and geographic diversity of its customers, limits VFs concentration of risks. Basis of Presentation: All financial statements and related disclosures are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VF and its majority-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. For consolidated subsidiaries that are not wholly owned, the minority owners interests (noncontrolling interests) in net income, comprehensive income and stockholders equity are separately presented in the financial statements. Investments in entities that VF does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence (generally 20-50% owned companies) are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity method investments are recorded initially at cost in Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Those amounts are adjusted to recognize VFs proportional share of the investees earnings and dividends after the date of investment. VFs share of net income of these investments, totaling $0.8 million in 2009, $7.3 million in 2008 and $4.2 million in 2007, is included in Marketing, Administrative and General Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In April 2007, VF sold its intimate apparel business consisting of its domestic and international womens intimate apparel business units. Accordingly, the 2007 Consolidated Statement of Income and the 2008 and 2007 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows present the intimate apparel businesses as discontinued operations. Interest expense was not allocated to the discontinued operations. Amounts presented herein, unless otherwise stated, relate to continuing operations. See Note C.

Acquisitions [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | Note B Acquisitions On March 11, 2009, VF completed the acquisition of Mo Industries Holdings, Inc. ("Mo Industries"), owner of the Splendid and Ella Moss brands of premium sportswear marketed to upscale department and specialty stores. This transaction resulted in VF acquiring the remaining two-thirds equity of Mo Industries for a purchase price of $160.8 million (consisting of $156.1 million of cash and $4.7 million of notes) and payment of $52.3 million of debt. In June 2008, VF had acquired one-third of the outstanding equity of Mo Industries for $77.4 million. The agreement included put/call rights to acquire the remaining equity during the first half of 2009 at a price based on the acquired companys earnings. The initial investment was recorded in Other Assets and was accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of the investment was $80.5 million at the time of the March 2009 acquisition, consisting of the initial cost of the investment, plus the equity in net income of the investment to the date of acquisition. In accordance with authoritative guidance, VF recognized a gain in the first quarter of $0.3 million from remeasuring its one-third interest in Mo Industries to fair value. The gain was included in Miscellaneous Income in VFs Consolidated Statement of Income. This acquisition contributed $61.2 million to revenues and $12.0 million to operating earnings in 2009. Acquisition-related expenses were not significant. Operating results are reported as part of the Contemporary Brands Coalition. On July 31, 2008, VF acquired 100% ownership of its former 50%-owned joint venture that markets Lee branded products in Spain and Portugal (Lee Spain). The cost of the additional investment was $25.4 million, consisting of $14.9 million in cash, plus the transfer of certain nonmonetary assets held by the former joint venture. The joint venture was accounted for using the equity method of accounting through July 2008, and Lee Spain is accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary subsequent to that date. Operating results are reported as part of the Jeanswear Coalition. On February 28, 2007, VF acquired substantially all the operating assets of Majestic Athletic, Inc. (Majestic) for a cost of $131.5 million. Majestic holds exclusive on-field uniform rights for all 30 major league baseball teams, including supplying each team with on-field MLB Authentic Collection outerwear, batting practice jerseys, T-shirts, shorts and fleece. Majestic also markets Majestic brand baseball-related consumer apparel to wholesale accounts. On August 27, 2007, VF acquired lucy activewear, inc. (lucy activewear), a chain of retail stores marketing lucy brand womens activewear, for a cost of $114.1 million. On August 31, 2007, VF acquired Seven For All Mankind, LLC (Seven For All Mankind), marketer of the 7 For All Mankind brand of womens and mens premium denim jeanswear and related apparel products in the United States and Europe, for a cost of $773.1 million.

On April 1, 2007, VF sold the net assets of this business (except for an investment in marketable securities of an intimate apparel supplier) for $348.7 million, plus $28.8 million related to the business units Cash and Equivalents. The transaction was consistent with VFs stated objective of focusing on lifestyle businesses having high growth and profit potential. The results of operations and cash flows of the intimate apparel business are separately presented as discontinued operations. VF recorded a charge of $42.2 million in 2006 for the difference between the recorded book value of the intimate apparel business and the expected net sales proceeds. In 2007, VF recorded an additional loss on disposal of $24.6 million due to changes in noncore assets sold, final determination of the sales price and income tax adjustments. Summarized 2007 operating results for the discontinued intimate apparel business prior to its sale were as follows (in thousands): Total revenues $ 196,167 Income from operations, net of income taxes of $3,851 $ 2,929 Loss on disposal (no income tax benefit) (24,554) Loss from discontinued operations $ (21,625) Sale of H.I.S Brand: VF sold its H.I.S trademarks and related intellectual property for $11.5 million in 2007.

The sale proceeds and recognition of the deferred foreign currency translation gains, less employee termination and other exit costs, resulted in a $5.7 million pretax gain, which was recorded as $2.6 million of additional expense in Cost of Goods Sold and a reduction of $8.3 million in Marketing, Administrative and General Expenses. Revenues of the H.I.S brand totaled $25 million in 2007. |

VF completed its annual impairment testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2009. Based on (i) assessment of current and expected future economic conditions, (ii) trends, strategies and forecasted cash flows at each business unit and (iii) assumptions similar to those that market participants would make in valuing VFs business units, VF management determined that the carrying values of goodwill and trademark intangible assets at its Reef, Nautica and lucy business units exceeded their fair value. Accordingly, VF recorded noncash impairment charges totaling $122.0 million in the Consolidated Statement of Income. These impairment charges consisted of $31.1 million, $58.5 million and $12.3 million to reduce goodwill at its Reef, Nautica and lucy business units to their respective implied fair values and $5.6 million and $14.5 million to reduce the Reef and lucy trademark assets to their respective fair values. The Reef business unit is a component of the Outdoor Action Sports Coalition, the Nautica business unit is a component of the Sportswear Coalition, and the lucy business unit is a component of the Contemporary Brands Coalition.

Short-term Borrowings [Abstract] | |
Short-term Borrowings | Note J Short-term Borrowings Short-term borrowings consist of international bank borrowings with a weighted average interest rate of 7.6% at the end of 2009 and 15.0% at the end of 2008. VF has a $1.0 billion senior domestic unsecured committed revolving bank credit agreement that supports issuance of up to $1.0 billion in commercial paper, with any unused portion available for general corporate purposes. This agreement, which expires in October 2012, has a facility fee of 0.06% per year. The agreement contains a financial covenant requiring VFs ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated capitalization, as defined, remain below 60%. The agreement contains other covenants and events of default, including limitations on liens, subsidiary indebtedness, sales of assets, and a cross-acceleration event of default if more than $100.0 million of other debt is in default and has been accelerated by the lenders. If VF fails in the performance of any covenant under this agreement, the banks may terminate their obligation to lend, and any bank borrowings outstanding under this agreement may become due and payable. At the end of 2009, VF was in compliance with all covenants, and the entire amount of the credit agreement was available for borrowing, except for $14.8 million related to standby letters of credit issued under the agreement on behalf of VF. In addition, certain international subsidiaries, with VF Corporation as guarantor, have a 250.0 million (U.S. dollar equivalent of $358.3 million at December 2009) senior international unsecured committed revolving bank credit agreement, which expires in October 2012. The terms and conditions of the international bank credit agreement are substantially the same as those of VFs $1.0 billion domestic credit agreement. At the end of 2009, VF was in compliance with all covenants, and the entire amount of the credit agreement was available for borrowing. |

All notes contain customary covenants and events of default, including limitations on liens and sale-leaseback transactions and a cross-acceleration event of default. The cross-acceleration provision of the 2010 and 2033 notes is triggered if more than $50.0 million of other debt is in default and has been accelerated by the lenders. For the 2017 and 2037 notes, the cross-acceleration trigger is $100.0 million. If VF fails in the performance of any covenant under the indenture that governs the respective notes, the trustee or lenders may declare the principal due and payable immediately. At the end of 2009, VF was in compliance with all covenants. Existing long-term debt agreements do not contain acceleration of maturity clauses based solely on changes in credit ratings. However, for the 2017 and 2037 notes, if there were a change in control of VF and, as a result of the change in control, those notes were rated below investment grade by recognized rating agencies, then VF would be obligated to repurchase those notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. VF may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to (i) 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, and (ii) a premium for any excess of the U.S. Treasury rate over the stated rate for the notes, plus an additional 20 basis points for the 2017 notes and 25 basis points for the 2037 notes. The 6.00% notes, having a principal balance of $300.0 million, are recorded net of unamortized original issue discount. Interest Expense on these notes is recorded at an effective annual interest rate of 6.19%, including amortization of the original issue discount, deferred gain on an interest rate hedging contract (Note U) and debt issuance costs. Capital leases and other included capital lease obligations of $37.3 million at the end of 2009 and $40.0 million at the end of 2008 at an effective interest rate of 5.1%.

Retirement and Savings Benefit Plans | Note N Retirement and Savings Benefit Plans VF has several retirement and savings benefit plans covering eligible employees. VF retains the right to amend any aspect of the plans, or to curtail or discontinue any of the plans, subject to local regulations. Defined Benefit Pension Plans: VF sponsors a noncontributory qualified defined benefit pension plan covering most full-time domestic employees initially employed before 2005 and an unfunded supplemental defined benefit pension plan thatcovers benefits earned that exceed limitations imposed by income tax regulations. VF also sponsors contributory defined benefit plans covering selected international employees. The defined benefit plans provide pension benefits based on compensation and years of service. The effect of these pension plans on income was as follows: Dollars in thousands 2009 2008 2007 Service cost benefits earned during the year $ 14,904 $16,473 $ 21,701 Interest cost on projected benefit obligations 71,799 69,043 67,653 Expected return on plan assets (53,515) (83,360) (82,611) Settlement charge - 4,383 - Amortization of deferred amounts: Actuarial losses 60,525 1,562 5,296 Prior service costs 4,266 2,691 2,691 Total pension expense 97,979 10,792 14,730 Amount allocable to discontinued operations - - 1,651 Pension expense continuing operations $ 97,979 $ 10,792 $ 13,079 Assumptions used to determine pension expense: Discount rate 6.50% 6.40% 5.95% Expected long-term return on plan assets 8.00% 8.00% 8.25% Rate of compensation increase 4.00% 4.00% 4.00% The following provides a reconciliation of the changes in fair value of the pension plans assets and projected benefit obligations, and the plans funded status, at the end of each year: Dollars in thousands 2009* 2008 Fair value of plan assets, beginning of year $ 692,749 $ 1,066,980 Foreign plans 50,018 Actual return on plan assets 132,295 (319,889) VF contributions 212,128 15,579 Participant contribution 265 Benefits paid (58,653) (69,921) Currency translation 5,566 - Fair value of plan assets, end of year 1,034,368 692,749 Projected benefit obligations, beginning of year 1,107,666 1,117,048 Foreign plans 51,661 Service cost 17,200 16,473 Interest cost 75,242 69,043 Participant contribution 265 Actuarial (gain) loss 73,569 (24,977) Plan amendment 13,024 - Benefits paid (58,652) (69,921) Currency translation 5,278 - Projected benefit obligations, end of year 1,285,253 1,107,666 Funded status, end of year $ (250,885) $ (414,917) Amounts included in Consolidated Balance Sheets: Current liabilities (Note K) $ (3,302) $ (9,400) Noncurrent liabilities (Note M) (247,583) (405,517) Funded status $ (250,885) $ (414 |

Stock-based Compensation [Abstract] | |
Stock-based Compensation | Note P Stock-based Compensation VF may grant nonqualified stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and restricted stock to officers, key employees and nonemployee members of VFs Board of Directors under the amended and restated 1996 Stock Compensation Plan approved by stockholders. All stock-based compensation awards are classified as equity awards, which are accounted for in Stockholders Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Compensation cost for all awards expected to vest is recognized over the shorter of the requisite service period or the vesting period. Awards that do not vest are forfeited. Compensation cost for stock option awards, which vest in equal annual installments over three years of continuous service, is recognized during each individual vesting period. Income tax benefits associated with stock option awards are computed under the short form method. Total compensation cost and the related income tax benefits for those awards recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income were $36.0 million and $13.3 million for 2009, $31.6 million and $11.6 million for 2008 and $62.4 million and $23.0 million for 2007, respectively. Stock-based compensation cost capitalized as part of inventory was $0.2 million at December 2009 and $0.4 million at December 2008. At the end of 2009, there was $24.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation arrangements, of which $17.2 million, $5.4 million, $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million are expected to be recognized in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. At the end of 2009, there were 4,656,854 shares available for future grants of stock options and stock awards under the 1996 Stock Compensation Plan. VF has a practice of repurchasing shares of Common Stock in the open market to offset, on a long-term basis, dilution caused by awards under equity compensation plans. Stock Options: Stock options are granted at a price equal to the average of the high and low price of VF Common Stock on the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant. The fair value on the date of grant of each option award is calculated using a lattice option-pricing valuation model, which incorporates a range of assumptions for inputs between the grant date of the options and the date of expiration. The assumptions used and the resulting weighted average fair value of stock options granted are summarized below: 2009 2008 2007 Expected volatility 48% to 33% 23% to 36% 22% to 30% Weighted average volatility 38% 27% 24% Expected term (in years) 4.9 to 7.4 4.8 to 7.3 4.7 to 7.3 Dividend yield 3.5% 2.8% 3.2% Risk-free interest rate 0.5% to 2.9% 2.1% to 3.6% 5.2% to 4.8% Weighted average fair value at date of grant $ 15.39 $ 18.58 $ 16.80 Volatility is a measure of the amount that the market price of VF Common Stock has varied or is expected to vary from period to period.

Business Segment Information [Abstract] | |
Business Segment Information | Note R Business Segment Information For internal management and reporting purposes, VFs businesses are grouped principally by product categories, and by brands within those product categories. These groupings of businesses are referred to as coalitions. These coalitions represent VFs reportable segments, as described below: Outdoor Action Sports Outerwear, action sports apparel and footwear, daypacks and bags, and technical equipment Jeanswear Jeanswear and related products Imagewear Occupational apparel and licensed apparel Sportswear Fashion sportswear Contemporary Brands Premium lifestyle apparel Other Primarily VF Outlets Operating results of the John Varvatos business unit have been reclassified from the Sportswear Coalition to the Contemporary Brands Coalition consistent with a change in internal management reporting beginning in 2009. Management at each of the coalitions has direct control over and responsibility for its revenues, operating income and assets, hereinafter termed Coalition Revenues, Coalition Profit and Coalition Assets, respectively. VF management evaluates operating performance and makes investment and other decisions based on Coalition Revenues and Coalition Profit. Accounting policies used for internal management reporting at the individual coalitions are consistent with those in Note A, except as stated below and except that inventories are valued on a FIFO basis. Common costs such as information systems processing, retirement benefits and insurance are allocated to the coalitions based on appropriate metrics such as usage or employment. Corporate costs, other than costs directly related to the coalitions, impairment charges and net interest expense are not controlled by coalition management and therefore are excluded from the Coalition Profit performance measure used for internal management reporting. Corporate and Other Expenses (presented separately in the following table) consists of corporate headquarters expenses that are not allocated to the coalitions (including compensation and benefits of corporate management and staff, certain legal and professional fees, and administrative and general) and other expenses related to but not allocated to the coalitions for internal management reporting (including a portion of defined benefit pension costs, development costs for management information systems, costs of maintaining and enforcing certain of VFs trademarks, adjustments for the LIFO method of inventory valuation and miscellaneous consolidating adjustments). Defined benefit pension plans in the United States are centrally managed. The current year service cost component of pension cost is allocated to the coalitions, while other cost components (primarily amortization of deferred actuarial losses of $83.1 million in 2009 and insignificant amounts in prior years) are reported in Corporate and Other. Coalition Assets, for internal management purposes, are those used directly in or resulting from the operations of each business unit, such as accounts receivable, inventories and property, plant and equipment. Corporate assets include investments held in trust for deferred |

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note U Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. In determining fair value, the accounting standards established a three-level hierarchy that distinguishes between (i) market data obtained or developed from independent sources (i.e., observable data inputs) and (ii) a reporting entitys own data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (i.e., unobservable data inputs). Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in one of the following categories, in order of priority of observability and objectivity of pricing inputs: Level 1 Fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Fair value based on significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Fair value based on prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. Inputs would normally be a reporting entitys own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair value measurement level for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Recurring Fair Value Measurements: The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: In thousands Fair Value Measurement Using: Quoted Prices Significant in Active Other Significant Total Markets for Observable Unobservable Fair Identical Assets Inputs Inputs Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) December 2009 Financial assets: Cash equivalents $ 454,070 $ 454,070 $ - $ - Derivative instruments 8,536 - 8,536 - Investment securities 182,306 140,872 41,434 - Financial liabilities: Derivative instruments 13,587 - 13,587 - Deferred compensation 199,831 - 199,831 - December 2008 Financial assets: Cash equivalents $ 156,900 $ 156,900 $ - $ - Derivative instruments 1,089 - 1,089 - Investment securities 157,651 114,778 42,873 - Financial liabilities: Derivative instruments 26,034 - 26,034 - Deferred comp |

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities | Note V Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities VF is exposed to risks in its ongoing business operations. Some of these risks are managed by using derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are contracts whose value is based on, or derived from, changes in the value of an underlying currency exchange rate, interest rate or other financial asset or index. VF conducts business in many foreign countries and therefore is subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Exchange rate fluctuations can have a significant effect on the translated U.S. dollar value of operating results and net assets denominated in foreign currencies. VF does not attempt to manage translation risk but does use derivative contracts to manage the exchange rate risk of specified cash flows or transactions denominated in various foreign currencies. VF manages exchange rate risk on a consolidated basis, which allows exposures to be netted. Use of derivative financial instruments allows VF to reduce the overall exposure to risks in its cash flows and earnings, since gains and losses in the value of the derivative contracts offset losses and gains in the value of the underlying hedged exposures. In addition, in prior years VF had used derivatives in limited instances to hedge interest rate risk. Accounting for derivative instruments: All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities at their fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains and losses) of derivative instruments depends on whether a derivative has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and on the type of hedging relationship. The criteria used to determine if a derivative instrument qualifies for hedge accounting treatment are (i) whether an appropriate hedging instrument has been identified and designated to reduce a specific exposure and (ii) whether there is a high correlation between changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the identified exposure. A qualifying derivative is designated for accounting purposes, based on the nature of the hedging relationship, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or hedge of a net investment in a foreign business. VFs hedging practices and related accounting policies are described in separate sections below. Hedging cash flows are classified in the statements of cash flows in the same category as the items being hedged. VF considers its foreign businesses to be long-term investments and, accordingly, does not hedge those net investments. VF does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. VF formally documents hedging instruments and hedging relationships at the inception of each contract. Further, VF assesses, both at the inception of a contract and on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are effective in offsetting the risk of the hedged transactions. Occasionally, a portion of a derivative instrument will be considered ineffective in hedging the originally identified exposure due to a decline in amount or a change in timing of the hedged exposure. In those cases, hedge accounting treatmen |
