Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation J.Crew Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Group”) were acquired (the “Acquisition”) on March 7, 2011 through a merger with a subsidiary of Chinos Holdings, Inc. (the “Parent”). The Parent was formed by investment funds affiliated with TPG Capital, L.P. (“TPG”) and Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. (“LGP” and together with TPG, the “Sponsors”). Subsequent to the Acquisition, Group became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, which is owned by affiliates of the Sponsors, co-investors and members of management. Prior to March 7, 2011, the Company operated as a public company with its common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. All references to “fiscal 2016” represent the 52-week fiscal year that will end on January 28, 2017, and to “fiscal 2015” represent the 52-week fiscal year that ended January 30, 2016. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly in all material respects the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the applicable interim periods. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Specifically, the Company adopted an accounting standard which requires certain deferred financing costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a reduction of the carrying amount of that debt liability. The adoption of this pronouncement resulted in the reclassification of $16,301 from long-term assets to long-term liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at January 30, 2016. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year as a whole. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions about future events in preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of loss contingencies at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. While management believes that past estimates and assumptions have been materially accurate, current estimates are subject to change if different assumptions as to the outcome of future events are made. Management evaluates estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and predicates those estimates and judgments on historical experience and on reasonable factors. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The carrying value of the intangible asset for the J.Crew and Madewell trade names was $380.0 million and $58.8 million, respectively, at October 29, 2016. If operating results decline below the Company’s expectations, additional impairment charges may be recorded in the future.

Share-Based Compensation	4. Share-Based Compensation Chinos Holdings, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan On March 4, 2011, the Parent adopted the Chinos Holdings, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), which authorizes equity awards to be granted for up to 91,740,627 shares of the common stock of the Parent. The types of equity awards issued from the 2011 Plan include: (i) stock options that become exercisable over the requisite service period, (ii) stock options that only become exercisable when certain owners of the Parent receive a specified level of cash proceeds, as defined in the equity incentive plan, from the sale of their initial investment, (iii) restricted stock that vests over the requisite service period, and (iv) restricted stock that vests when certain performance conditions are met. Accounting for Option Exchange In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Parent completed an option exchange program (the “Option Exchange”) which allowed eligible associates of the Company to exchange outstanding options for options with an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The new awards will vest over a four year period. The Option Exchange resulted in no incremental fair value of the options when comparing the value of the options immediately before and immediately after the exchange. Therefore, no additional expense will be recorded in connection with the Option Exchange. A summary of share-based compensation recorded in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss is as follows: For the Thirteen Weeks Ended For the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 Share-based compensation $ 211 $ 455 $ 818 $ 2,145 A summary of shares available for grant as stock options or other share-based awards is as follows: Shares Available for grant at January 30, 2016 15,225,070 Granted (66,476,962 ) Cancelled 51,386,962 Forfeited and available for reissuance 4,967,500 Available for grant at October 29, 2016 5,102,570

The ABL Facility includes borrowing capacity in the form of letters of credit up to $300 million, and up to $25 million in U.S. dollars for loans on same-day notice, referred to as swingline loans, and is available in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars and Euros. Any amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility are due and payable in full on December 10, 2019. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the ABL Facility was amended to extend the scheduled maturity date from December 10, 2019 to November 17, 2021. For more information related to this subsequent event, see note 12. On October 29, 2016, standby letters of credit were $21.0 million, excess availability, as defined, was $329.0 million, and there were no borrowings outstanding. Average short-term borrowings under the ABL Facility were $11.3 million and $18.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively. Demand Letter of Credit Facility The Company has unsecured, demand letter of credit facilities with HSBC and Bank of America which provide for the issuance of up to $50 million and $20 million, respectively, of documentary letters of credit on a no fee basis. On October 29, 2016, outstanding documentary letters of credit were $16.8 million, and aggregate availability under these facilities was $53.2 million. Term Loan Facility Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at Group’s option, either (a) LIBOR determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs (subject to a floor) or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A., (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (3) a LIBOR determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month adjusted for certain additional costs, plus 1.00%. The Company is required to make principal repayments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, or $3.9 million, on the last business day of January, April, July, and October. The Company is also required to repay the term loan based on an annual calculation of excess cash flow, as defined in the agreement. The maturity date of the Term Loan Facility is March 5, 2021. The interest rate on the borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility was 4.00% on October 29, 2016. The applicable margin in effect for base rate borrowings was 2.00% and the LIBOR Floor and applicable margin with respect to LIBOR borrowings were 1.00% and 3.00%, respectively, at October 29, 2016.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	6. Derivative Financial Instruments In August 2014, the Company entered into interest rate cap and swap agreements that limit exposure to interest rate increases on a portion of the Company’s floating rate indebtedness. The interest rate cap agreements covered notional amounts of $400 million and capped LIBOR at 2.00% from March 2015 to March 2016. The interest rate swap agreements cover a notional amount of $800 million from March 2016 to March 2019 and carry a fixed rate of 2.56% plus the applicable margin. The Company designated the interest rate cap and swap agreements as cash flow hedges. As cash flow hedges, unrealized gains are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. The effective portion of such gains or losses is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, while the ineffective portion of such gains or losses is recorded as a component of interest expense. Future realized gains and losses in connection with each required interest payment will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss to interest expense. The fair values of the interest rate cap and swap agreements are estimated using industry standard valuation models using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves (level 2 inputs). Liabilities for interest rate swaps, included in other liabilities, were $26.5 million and $31.1 million at October 29, 2016 and January 30, 2016, respectively

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	7. Fair Value Measurements The Company uses a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 – Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities The fair value of the Company’s debt was $1,176 million and $1,051 million at October 29, 2016 and January 30, 2016 based on quoted market prices of the debt (level 1 inputs). The Company’s interest rate cap and swap agreements are measured in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis. See note 6 for more information regarding the fair value of this financial liability. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. Non-financial assets and liabilities Certain non-financial assets, including goodwill, the intangible asset for the J.Crew trade name, and certain long-lived assets have been written down and measured in the financial statements at fair value. The Company does not have any other non-financial assets or liabilities as of October 29, 2016 or January 30, 2016 that are measured in the financial statements at fair value. The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets whenever there are indicators of impairment, or at least annually in the fourth quarter. If the recorded carrying value of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the Company records a charge to write down the intangible asset to its fair value. Impairment charges of goodwill are based on fair value measurements derived using a combination of an income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow, a market approach, and a transaction approach. Impairment charges of intangible assets are based on fair value measurements derived using a relief from royalty method, which considers projected revenue and an estimated royalty rate. The valuation methodologies incorporate unobservable inputs reflecting significant estimates and assumptions made by management (level 3 inputs). For more information related to goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, see note 3. The Company performs impairment tests of long-lived assets whenever there are indicators of impairment. These tests typically contemplate assets at a store level (e.g. leasehold improvements). The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable in light of the undiscounted future cash flows and measures an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset based on discounted future cash flows. The Company has determined that the future cash flow approach (level 3 inputs) provides the most relevant and reliable means by which to determine fair value in this circumstance. A summary of the impact of the impairment of certain long-lived assets on financial condition and results of operations is as follows: For the Thirteen Weeks Ended For the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 October 29, 2016 October 31, 2015 Carrying value of long-term assets written down to fair value $ — $ — $ — $ 1,349 Impairment charge $ 1,333 $ — $ 6,729 $ 3,204

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	8. Income Taxes The Parent files a consolidated federal income tax return, which includes Group and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. Each subsidiary files separate, or combined where required, state or local tax returns in required jurisdictions. The financial statements of the Company reflect a provision (benefit) for income taxes at the Group level. The federal tax return, however, is filed at the Parent level. The difference between the entity at which the provision is calculated and the entity which files the tax return gives rise to intercompany balances. A summary of the components of the income taxes-related payable is as follows: Refundable income taxes of Parent $ 31,340 $ 10,196 Due to Parent (35,432 ) (17,282 ) Income taxes-related payable $ (4,092 ) $ (7,086 ) In the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Parent filed its federal income tax return for the tax year ended January 2016, which reflected a taxable loss of $66 million. The loss was carried back to the tax year ended January 2014 and gave rise to refundable income taxes of $23 million, which the Company expects to collect by the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets. In making that assessment, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on a weighing process of available evidence, whether it is more-likely-than-not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized. In that weighing process, the Company assigns significant weight to the negative evidence of its cumulative losses in recent years. As a result, in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company determined that the negative evidence outweighed the positive evidence as of October 29, 2016, and recorded a non-cash charge to income tax expense of $6.8 million to record a valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets balance. This accounting treatment has no effect on the Company’s ability to utilize deferred tax assets to reduce future cash tax payments. The Company will continue to assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be realizable at the end of each reporting period and the valuation allowance will be adjusted accordingly. The federal tax returns for the periods ended January 2012 and January 2013 are currently under examination. Various state and local jurisdiction tax authorities are in the process of examining income tax returns or hearing appeals for certain tax years ranging from 2009 to 2013. The results of these audits and appeals are not expected to have a significant effect on the results of operations or financial position. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2016 was 4%. Items driving differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% and the effective rate include (i) the recognition of domestic and foreign valuation allowances, (ii) lower rates in certain foreign jurisdictions, and (iii) reserves for uncertain tax positions. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was 10%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% and the effective rate was driven primarily by the non-cash impairment charge related to the write off of goodwill, which is not tax deductible, and therefore has no tax benefit. Other items impacting the effective rate include state and local income taxes and the recognition of certain foreign valuation allowances. While the Company expects the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change in the next 12 months, the change is not expected to have a significant effect on the results of operations or financial position. However, the outcome of tax matters is uncertain and unforeseen results can occur.

Related Party Transaction	10. Related Party Transaction On November 4, 2013, Chinos Intermediate Holdings A, Inc. (the “Issuer”), an indirect parent holding company of Group, issued $500 million aggregate principal of 7.75/8.50% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due May 1, 2019 (the “PIK Notes”). The PIK Notes are (i) senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer, (ii) structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of the Issuer’s subsidiaries, and (iii) not guaranteed by any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries, and therefore are not recorded in the financial statements of the Company. On October 28, 2016, the Issuer delivered notice to U.S. Bank N.A., as trustee, under the indenture governing the PIK Notes, that with respect to the interest that will be due on such notes on the May 1, 2017 interest payment date, the Issuer will make such interest payment by paying in kind at the PIK interest rate of 8.50% instead of paying in cash. The PIK election will increase the outstanding principal balance of the PIK Notes by $23.1 million to $566.5 million. Therefore, the Company will not pay a dividend to the Issuer in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 to fund a semi-annual interest payment. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the PIK Notes, the Issuer intends to evaluate this option prior to the beginning of each interest period based on relevant factors at that time.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, a pronouncement was issued that clarified the principles of revenue recognition, which standardizes a comprehensive model for recognizing revenue arising from contracts with customers. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, a pronouncement was issued that more closely aligns the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards by requiring companies using the first-in, first-out and average costs methods to measure inventory using the lower of cost and net realizable value. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of the new pronouncement is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with accounting lease terms of more than 12 months. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements, the adoption is expected to have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Certain non-financial assets, including goodwill, the intangible asset for the J.Crew trade name, and certain long-lived assets have been written down and measured in the financial statements at fair value. The Company does not have any other non-financial assets or liabilities as of October 29, 2016 or January 30, 2016 that are measured in the financial statements at fair value. The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets whenever there are indicators of impairment, or at least annually in the fourth quarter. If the recorded carrying value of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the Company records a charge to write down the intangible asset to its fair value. Impairment charges of goodwill are based on fair value measurements derived using a combination of an income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow, a market approach, and a transaction approach. Impairment charges of intangible assets are based on fair value measurements derived using a relief from royalty method, which considers projected revenue and an estimated royalty rate. The valuation methodologies incorporate unobservable inputs reflecting significant estimates and assumptions made by management (level 3 inputs). For more information related to goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, see note 3.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy	The Company performs impairment tests of long-lived assets whenever there are indicators of impairment. These tests typically contemplate assets at a store level (e.g. leasehold improvements). The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable in light of the undiscounted future cash flows and measures an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset based on discounted future cash flows. The Company has determined that the future cash flow approach (level 3 inputs) provides the most relevant and reliable means by which to determine fair value in this circumstance.
