Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Operations [Text Block]	1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Weyco Group, Inc. designs and markets quality and innovative footwear for men, women and children under a portfolio of well-recognized brand names including: “Florsheim,” “Nunn Bush,” “Stacy Adams,” “BOGS,” “Rafters,” and “Umi.” Inventory is purchased from third-party overseas manufacturers. The majority of foreign-sourced purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company has two reportable segments, North American wholesale operations (“wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“retail”). In the wholesale segment, the Company’s products are sold to leading footwear, department and specialty stores primarily in the United States and Canada. The Company also has licensing agreements with third parties who sell its branded apparel, accessories and specialty footwear in the United States, as well as its footwear in Mexico and certain markets overseas. Licensing revenues are included in the Company’s wholesale segment. The Company’s retail segment consisted of 13 Company-owned retail stores and an internet business in the United States as of December 31, 2016. Sales in retail outlets are made directly to consumers by Company employees. The Company’s “other” operations include the Company’s wholesale and retail operations in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”) and Europe (“Florsheim Europe”). The majority of the Company’s operations are in the United States, and its results are primarily affected by the economic conditions and retail environment in the United States.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Investments — Debt and Equity Securities Property, Plant and Equipment The Company’s policy related to interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within interest expense and income tax expense, respectively. See Note 12. Consolidation In accordance with the subscription agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of Florsheim Australia in January 2009, the Company’s equity interest in Florsheim Australia decreases from 60% to 51% of equity issued under the subscription agreement as intercompany loans are paid in accordance with their terms. To date, the Company’s equity interest in Florsheim Australia has decreased from 60% to 55% and the noncontrolling shareholder’s interest has increased from 40% to 45%. This change is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Equity. — Foreign Currency Matters Foreign Currency Transactions — The foreign currency transaction gains recognized in 2016 resulted mainly from unrealized gains on foreign exchange contracts entered into by Florsheim Australia. The foreign currency transaction losses recognized in 2015 resulted mainly from unrealized losses on foreign exchange contracts entered into by Florsheim Australia, as well as losses from the revaluation of intercompany loans between the Company’s wholesale segment and Florsheim Australia. The foreign currency transaction losses recognized in 2014 resulted mainly from the revaluation of intercompany loans between the Company’s wholesale segment and Florsheim Australia Realized gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts are related to the purchase and sale of inventory and therefore are included in the Company’s net sales or cost of sales. In 2016, there were no significant realized gains or losses on foreign exchange contracts. In 2015, the Company recognized realized gains of $1.4 million related to foreign exchange contracts, and in 2014, there were no significant realized gains or losses related to foreign exchange contracts. The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss as recorded on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows: 2016 2015 (Dollars in thousands) Foreign currency translation adjustments $ (5,489) $ (5,691 ) Pension liability, net of tax (11,080 ) (12,776 ) Total accumulated other comprehensive loss $ (16,569) $ (18,467 ) The noncontrolling interest as recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015, included foreign currency translation adjustments of approximately ($1,065,000) and ($1,061,000), respectively. Foreign Defined Total Balance, December 31, 2014 $ (2,894 ) $ (15,136 ) $ (18,030 ) Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications (2,797 ) 1,285 (1,512 ) Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss — 1,075 1,075 Net current period other comprehensive (loss) income (2,797 ) 2,360 (437 ) Balance, December 31, 2015 $ (5,691 ) $ (12,776 ) $ (18,467 ) Other comprehensive income before reclassifications 202 765 967 Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss — 931 931 Net current period other comprehensive income 202 1,696 1,898 Balance, December 31, 2016 $ (5,489 ) $ (11,080 ) $ (16,569 ) Amounts reclassified from Affected line 2016 2015 Amortization of defined benefit pension items Prior service cost $ (262) $ (112 ) (1) Actuarial losses 1,789 1,874 (1) Total before tax 1,527 1,762 Tax benefit (596 ) (687 ) Net of tax $ 931 $ 1,075 (1) These amounts were included in the computation of net periodic pension cost. See Note 11 for additional details. Stock-Based Compensation — Compensation — Stock Compensation In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “ Leases (Topic 842). In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.” The Company has begun its initial assessment of the new revenue standard, with a focus on identifying the contracts with customers and assessing whether and what performance obligations exist. Based on our preliminary assessment to date, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company currently plans to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify other impacts.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Level 1 — unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are publicly accessible. Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 — unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. The carrying amounts of all short-term financial instruments, except marketable securities and foreign exchange contracts, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. Marketable securities are carried at amortized cost. The fair value disclosures of marketable securities are Level 2 valuations as defined by ASC 820, consisting of quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active. See Note 4. Foreign exchange contracts are carried at fair value. The fair value measurements of foreign exchange contracts are based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates, and thus represent level 2 valuations as defined by ASC 820. The Company’s contingent consideration was measured at fair value. See Note 10.

To determine whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, the Company considers all available evidence, including the issuer’s financial condition, the severity and duration of the decline in fair value, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for any forecasted recovery. If a decline in value is deemed other-than-temporary, the Company records a reduction in the carrying value to the estimated fair value. The Company determined that no other-than-temporary impairment exists for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014.

During 2016, there were liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities which resulted in immaterial decreases in cost of sales in 2016. During 2015, there were no liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared to the cost of fiscal 2015 purchases. During 2014, there were liquidations of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared to the cost of fiscal 2014 purchases. The effect of the liquidation decreased cost of sales by $151,000 in 2014.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Impairment Net Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Impairment Net (Dollars in thousands) (Dollars in thousands) Indefinite-lived intangible assets Goodwill $ 11,112 $ — $ 11,112 $ 11,112 $ — $ 11,112 Trademarks 34,748 (1,770 ) 32,978 34,748 — 34,748 Total indefinite-lived intangible assets $ 45,860 $ (1,770 ) $ 44,090 $ 45,860 $ — $ 45,860 The Company performs impairment tests for goodwill and trademarks on an annual basis and more frequently if an event or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Conditions that would trigger an impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of the asset. The Company’s goodwill resulted from the 2011 acquisition of the BOGS/Rafters brands. The Company uses a two-step process to test this goodwill for impairment. The first step is to compare the applicable reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. The Company determined that the applicable reporting unit is its wholesale segment. If the fair value of the wholesale segment is greater than its carrying value, there is no impairment. If the carrying value is greater than the fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any. The second step calculates the implied fair value of the goodwill, which is compared to its carrying value. If the implied fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference. In 2016, the testing determined that the estimated fair value of the wholesale segment exceeded its carrying value, therefore there was no impairment of goodwill. The Company has never recorded an impairment charge on this goodwill. The Company tests its trademarks for impairment annually by comparing the fair value of each trademark to its related carrying value. Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company evaluated the current state of the Umi business and determined the brand did not fit the long-term strategic objectives of the Company. As a result, the Company recorded a $1,770,000 impairment charge to write off the majority of the value of the Umi trademark. The Company is currently looking into different strategic alternatives for the Umi brand. Other than this write-off, the Company did not record any other trademark impairment charges in 2016.

Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]	10. CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION Contingent consideration was comprised of two earn-out payments that the Company was obligated to pay the former shareholders of The Combs Company (“Bogs”) in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Bogs in 2011. The estimate of contingent consideration was formula-driven and was based on Bogs achieving certain levels of gross margin dollars between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2015. The first earn-out payment was paid on March 28, 2013 in the amount of $1,270,000. The second and final earn-out payment was paid on March 23, 2016 in the amount of $5,217,000. In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations 2016 2015 Beginning balance $ 5,217 $ 5,675 Net gain on remeasurement of contingent consideration — (458 ) Payment of contingent consideration (5,217 ) — Ending balance $ — $ 5,217 The second and final earn-out payment was recorded within accrued liabilities at December 31, 2015. The gain on remeasurement of contingent consideration was recorded within selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2015. The total contingent consideration was reflected in the Company’s wholesale segment. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration was based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represented a level 3 valuation as defined by ASC 820.

EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS

EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS	12 Months Ended

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block]	11. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees, as well as an unfunded supplemental pension plan for key executives. Retirement benefits are provided based on employees’ years of credited service and average earnings or stated amounts for years of service. Normal retirement age is 65 with provisions for earlier retirement. The plan also has provisions for disability and death benefits. The plan closed to new participants as of August 1, 2011. Additionally, benefit accruals under the plan were frozen effective December 31, 2016. The Company’s funding policy for the defined benefit pension plan is to make contributions to the plan such that all employees’ benefits will be fully provided by the time they retire. Plan assets are stated at market value and consist primarily of equity securities and fixed income securities, mainly U.S. government and corporate obligations. The Company follows ASC 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits Plan Assets at December 2016 2015 Asset Category: Equity Securities 54 % 52 % Fixed Income Securities 38 % 40 % Other 8 % 8 % Total 100 % 100 % The Company has a Retirement Plan Committee, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to manage the operations and administration of all benefit plans and related trusts. The committee has an investment policy for the pension plan assets that establishes target asset allocation ranges for the above listed asset classes as follows: equity securities: 20% – 80%; fixed income securities: 20% – 80%; and other, principally cash: 0% – 20%. On a semi-annual basis, the committee reviews progress towards achieving the pension plan’s performance objectives. To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This resulted in the selection of the 7.50% long-term rate of return on assets assumption for 2016. 2016 2015 Discount rate 4.35 % 4.62 % Rate of compensation increase 4.00 % 4.00 % Defined Benefit Supplemental 2016 2015 2016 2015 (Dollars in thousands) Change in projected benefit obligation Projected benefit obligation, beginning of year $ 48,677 $ 50,932 $ 14,261 $ 14,841 Service cost 1,328 1,345 310 291 Interest cost 1,833 2,051 616 614 Plan curtailment (5,098 ) — (919 ) — Actuarial loss (gain) 2,282 (3,806 ) 1,527 (1,135 ) Benefits paid (3,943 ) (1,845 ) (386 ) (350 ) Projected benefit obligation, end of year $ 45,079 $ 48,677 $ 15,409 $ 14,261 Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets, beginning of year 32,345 32,027 — — Actual return on plan assets 1,791 (320 ) — — Administrative expenses (315 ) (150 ) — — Contributions 2,400 2,633 386 350 Benefits paid (3,943 ) (1,845 ) (386 ) (350 ) Fair value of plan assets, end of year $ 32,278 $ 32,345 $ — $ — Funded status of plan $ (12,801 ) $ (16,332 ) $ (15,409 ) $ (14,261 ) Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets consist of: Accrued liabilities – other $ — $ — $ (409 ) $ (405 ) Long-term pension liability (12,801 ) (16,332 ) (15,000 ) (13,856 ) Net amount recognized $ (12,801 ) $ (16,332 ) $ (15,409 ) $ (14,261 ) Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss consist of: Accumulated loss, net of income tax benefit of $5,373, $6,631, $1,802 and $1,808, respectively $ 8,403 $ 10,371 $ 2,820 $ 2,828 Prior service cost, net of income tax liability of $0, $0, ($91) and ($270), respectively — — (143 ) (423 ) Net amount recognized $ 8,403 $ 10,371 $ 2,677 $ 2,405 On September 15, 2016, the pension plan was amended to offer an immediate pension payout either as a one-time lump sum or annuity payment to certain former employees who had not yet commenced benefits under the plan. Benefits were calculated as of December 1, 2016, with lump sum payments being paid in December 2016 and annuity payments beginning January 1, 2017. As of December 31, 2016, $1.9 million in lump sum payments were paid as a result of this amendment. These lump sum payments are included in the “Benefits paid” line item in the above table. On November 7, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the freezing of the pension plan, whereby benefit accruals would be frozen effective December 31, 2016. The effect of the freeze was a reduction of the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) to the amount of the plans’ accumulated benefit obligations. The decrease in the PBO reduced the unrecognized net actuarial loss of the plan, which is reported on an after-tax basis in accumulated other comprehensive loss within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. No curtailment gain was recognized in earnings. These plan changes will reduce the service and interest cost of the plan for periods subsequent to the curtailment. As noted above, the accumulated benefit obligations for the defined benefit pension plan and the supplemental pension plan were equal to the respective plans’ projected benefit obligations as of December 31, 2016, due to the pension plan curtailment. As of December 31, 2015, the accumulated benefit obligations for the defined benefit pension plan and the supplemental pension plan were $43.7 million and $14.2 million, respectively.

Under the spot-rate approach, the interest cost is calculated by applying interest to the discounted cash flow expected at each payment date. The interest is determined using the same spot rate along the yield curve that was used to determine the present value of the associated payment. Prior to 2016, the Company used a single weighted-average rate in the determination of pension expense. The Company considered the adoption of the spot rate approach a change in accounting estimate and recognized the effects of the change on a prospective basis. The effects of adopting the spot rate approach reduced net pension expense by approximately $522,000 in 2016, primarily due to a reduction in interest cost. The components of net pension expense for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, were: 2016 2015 2014 (Dollars in thousands) Benefits earned during the period $ 1,638 $ 1,636 $ 1,263 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation (1) 2,449 2,665 2,586 Expected return on plan assets (2,430 ) (2,364 ) (2,343 ) Net amortization and deferral 1,527 1,762 706 Net pension expense $ 3,184 $ 3,699 $ 2,212 (1) The decrease in interest cost in 2016 was primarily due to the adoption of the spot-rate approach, as described above. Due to the pension plan amendments described above, the Company expects net pension expense to decrease by approximately $2.1 million in 2017. The Company expects to recognize expense of $544,000 due to the amortization of unrecognized loss and income of $63,000 due to the amortization of prior service credit as components of net periodic expense in 2017, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2016. It is the Company’s intention to satisfy the minimum funding requirements and maintain at least an 80% funding percentage in its defined benefit retirement plan in future years. At this time, the Company expects that any cash contributions necessary to satisfy these requirements would not be material in 2017.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company amended its defined contribution plan to increase the Company match formula for all plan participants. With this amendment, the Company estimates that total match contributions will increase by approximately $450,000 in 2017.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	12.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company reviewed its liquidity needs and sources of capital, including evaluating whether it would need the cash available under corporate-owned life insurance policies on two former executives. It was determined that the chances were remote that the Company would need to surrender the policies to satisfy liquidity needs, and, as a result, the Company reversed the $3.1 million deferred tax liability related to the policies. The foreign component of pretax net earnings was $2.7 million, $1.3 million and $5.0 million for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the total amount of unremitted foreign earnings was $7.3 million. A deferred tax liability has not been recorded on these unremitted earnings because the Company intends to permanently reinvest such earnings outside of the U.S. Future dividends, if any, would be paid only out of current year earnings. If the remaining unremitted foreign earnings at December 31, 2016 were to be repatriated in the future, the related deferred tax liability would not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The components of deferred taxes as of December 31, 2016, and 2015 were as follows: 2016 2015 (Dollars in thousands) Deferred income tax assets: Accounts receivable reserves $ 341 $ 422 Pension liability 11,002 11,931 Accrued liabilities 2,648 2,383 Carryfoward losses 129 — Foreign currency losses on intercompany loans 53 148 14,173 14,884 Deferred income tax liabilities: Inventory and related reserves (3,744 ) (3,552 ) Cash value of life insurance (441 ) (3,517 ) Property, plant and equipment (1,483 ) (1,420 ) Intangible assets (8,284 ) (7,753 ) Prepaid expenses and other assets (264 ) (249 ) (14,216 ) (16,491 ) Net deferred income tax liabilities $ (43) $ (1,607 ) The net deferred tax liabilities are classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: 2016 2015 (Dollars in thousands) Current deferred income tax liabilities $ — $ (1,537 ) Non-current deferred income tax benefits 660 — Non-current deferred income tax liabilities (703 ) (70 ) Net deferred income tax liabilities $ (43) $ (1,607 ) In 2015, the FASB issued guidance which simplified the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2016 on a prospective basis. Prior period balances were not adjusted. Uncertain Tax Positions The Company accounts for its uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes . 2016 2015 2014 (Dollars in thousands) Unrecognized tax benefits balance at January 1, $ 284 $ — $ 124 Increases related to current year tax positions 239 284 — Decreases related to prior period positions — — (69 ) Decreases due to settlements of tax positions (248 ) — (55 ) Unrecognized tax benefits balance at December 31, $ 275 $ 284 $ — The unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2016 and 2015, include $70,000 and $108,000, respectively, of interest related to such positions. The unrecognized tax benefits, if ultimately recognized, would reduce the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The liabilities for potential interest are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return, various U.S. state income tax returns and several foreign returns. In general, the 2014 through 2016 tax years remain subject to examination by those taxing authorities.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	16. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has two reportable segments: North American wholesale operations (“wholesale”) and North American retail operations (“retail”). The chief operating decision maker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments based on earnings from operations. Therefore, interest income or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes are not allocated to the segments. The “other” category in the table below includes the Company’s wholesale and retail operations in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific and Europe, which do not meet the criteria for separate reportable segment classification. In the wholesale segment, shoes are marketed through more than 10,000 footwear, department and specialty stores, primarily in the United States and Canada. Licensing revenues are also included in the Company’s wholesale segment. The Company has licensing agreements with third parties who sell its branded apparel, accessories and specialty footwear in the United States, as well as its footwear in Mexico and certain markets overseas. In 2016, 2015 and 2014, there was no single customer with sales above 10% of the Company’s total sales. In the retail segment, the Company operated 13 Company-owned stores in principal cities and an internet business in the United States as of December 31, 2016. Sales in retail outlets are made directly to the consumer by Company employees.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS At December 31, 2016, the Company had two stock-based compensation plans: the 2011 Incentive Plan and the 2014 Incentive Plan (collectively, “the Plans”). Under the Plans, options to purchase common stock were granted to officers and key employees at exercise prices not less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The Company issues new common stock to satisfy stock option exercises and the issuance of restricted stock awards. Awards are no longer granted under the 2011 plan. Stock options and restricted stock awards were granted on August 25, 2016, August 25, 2015, and on August 26, 2014. Under the Plans, stock options and restricted stock awards are valued at fair market value based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. The stock options and restricted stock awards granted in 2016, 2015 and 2014 vest ratably over four years. As of December 31, 2016, there were 17,100 shares remaining available for stock-based awards under the 2014 Incentive Plan. In accordance with ASC 718, stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the 2016, 2015 and 2014 consolidated financial statements for stock options and restricted stock awards granted since 2010. An estimate of forfeitures, based on historical data, was included in the calculation of stock-based compensation, and the estimate was adjusted quarterly to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to materially differ, from such estimates. The effect of applying the expense recognition provisions of ASC 718 decreased Earnings Before Provision For Income Taxes by $1,559,000 in each of the years 2016 and 2015, and $1,465,000 in 2014. As of December 31, 2016, there was $1.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted in the years 2013 through 2016 which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.7 years. As of December 31, 2016, there was $1.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards granted in the years 2013 through 2016 which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.7 years. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine compensation expense related to stock options in 2016, 2015 and 2014: 2016 2015 2014 Risk-free interest rate 1.09 % 1.36 % 1.45 % Expected dividend yield 3.29 % 3.12 % 2.81 % Expected term 4.3 years 4.3 years 4.3 years Expected volatility 21.3 % 21.6 % 17.8 % The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the award. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s expected annual dividend as a percentage of the market value of the Company’s common stock in the year of grant. The expected term of the stock options is determined using historical experience. The expected volatility is based upon historical stock prices over the most recent period equal to the expected term of the award. The following tables summarize stock option activity under the Company’s plans: Stock Options Years ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Stock Options Shares Weighted Shares Weighted Shares Weighted Outstanding at beginning of year 1,351,826 $ 26.09 1,355,416 $ 25.36 1,260,866 $ 24.41 Granted 277,800 25.51 299,700 25.64 331,600 27.04 Exercised (123,294 ) 24.28 (279,090 ) 22.02 (218,150 ) 22.37 Forfeited or expired (20,075 ) 26.52 (24,200 ) 26.58 (18,900 ) 25.71 Outstanding at end of year 1,486,257 $ 26.13 1,351,826 $ 26.09 1,355,416 $ 25.36 Exercisable at end of year 762,132 $ 26.07 594,906 $ 25.55 603,834 $ 23.66 Weighted average fair market value of options granted $ 3.05 $ 3.30 $ 2.93 Weighted Average Aggregate Outstanding – December 31, 2016 3.6 $ 7,686,000 Exercisable – December 31, 2016 2.6 $ 3,989,000 The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable stock options is defined as the difference between the market value of the Company’s stock on December 30, 2016 of $31.30 and the exercise price multiplied by the number of in-the-money outstanding and exercisable stock options.
