Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Operations [Text Block]	1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Weyco Group, Inc. (the “Company”) designs and markets quality and innovative footwear principally for men, but also for women and children, under a portfolio of well-recognized brand names including: Florsheim, Nunn Bush, Stacy Adams, BOGS, and Rafters. 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 nine brick and mortar stores and internet businesses in the United States as of December 31, 2018. Sales in retail outlets are made directly to consumers by Company employees. The Company’s “other” operations include the Company’s wholesale and retail businesses in Australia, South Africa, Asia Pacific (collectively, “Florsheim Australia”) and Europe (“Florsheim Europe”). In 2018, there was a change in the Company’s ownership in Florsheim Australia. See Note 2 for additional information. 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.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Noncontrolling Interest Disclosure [Text Block]	2. ACQUISITION OF NONCONTROLLING INTEREST During 2018, David Venner, Director of Seraneuse Pty Ltd, the former minority interest shareholder of Florsheim Australia Pty Ltd, which owns 100% of Florsheim Australia, provided notice and tendered to the Company his shares, which represented a 45% equity interest in Florsheim Australia Pty Ltd, in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement dated January 23, 2009. The Shareholders Agreement allowed him to tender the shares, at his discretion, anytime on or after January 23, 2014. Accordingly, the Company purchased the minority interest in Florsheim Australia Pty Ltd for $3.7 million on August 30, 2018, and the Company now owns 100% of Florsheim Australia Pty Ltd. This transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, as an equity transaction. Therefore, no gain or loss was recognized in consolidated net earnings or comprehensive income. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest was adjusted to zero, and the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the balance of the noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date was recognized within equity.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include all of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents included investments in U.S. treasury bills, money market accounts, and cash deposits at various banks. The Company periodically has cash balances in excess of insured amounts. The Company has not experienced any losses on deposits in excess of insured amounts. Investments - All of the Company’s municipal bond investments are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost pursuant to ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, as the Company has the intent and ability to hold all investments to maturity. See Note 5. Accounts Receivable – Trade accounts receivable arise from the sale of products on unsecured trade credit terms. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews all significant accounts with past due balances, as well as the collectability of other outstanding trade accounts receivable for possible write-off. It is the Company’s policy to write-off accounts receivable against the allowance account when receivables are deemed to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses in the accounts receivable balances. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other evidence currently available. Inventories Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment are depreciated using primarily the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows: buildings and improvements, 10 to 39 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 5 years; furniture and fixtures, 5 to 7 years. For income tax reporting purposes, depreciation is calculated using applicable methods. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset. In 2018, an impairment charge of $246,000 was Goodwill - The Company’s goodwill resulted from the 2011 acquisition of the BOGS and Rafters brands. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if indicators of impairment are present. The applicable reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing is the wholesale segment. The Company has the option to assess goodwill for impairment by performing either a qualitative assessment or quantitative test. The qualitative assessment is the first step and determines whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the assessment indicates the fair value exceeds the carrying value, then there is no impairment and the quantitative test is not required. However, if the assessment indicates the fair value is less than the carrying value, then the quantitative test is required. The quantitative test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its book value including goodwill, and if the fair value is less than the book value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference, limited to the value of the goodwill. The Company performed the required annual impairment tests for goodwill in 2018 and 2017, and found no impairment. There has never been an impairment recorded on this goodwill. Intangible Assets (excluding Goodwill) - Other intangible assets consist of customer relationships and trademarks. Customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Trademarks are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable. In 2018, an impairment charge of $110,000 was recorded to write off the remaining value of the Umi trademark, as the Company continues to wind down operations of this brand. No other impairment was recorded on the Company’s trademarks in 2018 or 2017. Life Insurance – Life insurance policies are recorded at the amount that could be realized under the insurance contracts as of the balance sheet date. These assets are included within other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 9. Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences arising from differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates in effect. Tax rate changes affecting deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in income at the enactment date. 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 13. Noncontrolling Interest - The Company’s former noncontrolling interest, which was accounted for under ASC 810, represented the minority shareholder’s ownership interest in the wholesale and retail businesses of Florsheim Australia. In accordance with ASC 810, the Company reported its noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and reported both net earnings (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest and net earnings attributable to the Company’s common shareholders on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. On August 30, 2018, the Company acquired the minority interest in Florsheim Australia for $3.7 million, and the Company now owns 100% of Florsheim Australia. Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenue contracts represent a single performance obligation to sell its products to its customers. Sales are recorded at the time control of the product is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the products. Wholesale revenue is generally recognized upon shipment of the product, as that is when the customer obtains control of the promised goods. Shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the product transfers to the customer are treated as fulfillment activities, not as a separate performance obligation. Retail revenue is generated primarily from the sale of footwear to customers at retail locations or through the Company’s websites. For in-store sales, the Company recognizes revenue at the point of sale. For sales made through the Company’s websites, revenue is recognized upon shipment to the customer. Sales taxes collected from website or retail sales are excluded from the Company’s reported net sales. Revenue from third-party licensing agreements is recognized in the period earned. Licensing revenues were $2.5 million in both 2018 and 2017. All revenue is recorded net of estimated allowances for returns and discounts; these revenue offsets are accrued for at the time of sale. The Company’s estimates of allowances for returns and discounts are based on such factors as specific customer situations, historical experience, and current and expected economic conditions. The Company evaluates the reserves and the estimation process and makes adjustments when appropriate. Generally, payments from customers are received within 90 days following the sale. The Company’s contracts with customers do not have significant financing components or significant prepayments from customers, and there is no non-cash consideration. The Company does not have unbilled revenue, and there are no contract assets and liabilities. Shipping and Handling Fees - The Company classifies shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues. Shipping and handling expenses incurred by the Company are included in selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See “ Selling and Administrative Expenses ” below. Cost of Sales - The Company’s cost of sales includes the cost of products and inbound freight and duty costs. Selling and Administrative Expenses - Selling and administrative expenses primarily include salaries and commissions, advertising costs, employee benefit costs, distribution costs (e.g., receiving, inspection, warehousing, shipping, and handling costs), rent and depreciation. Consolidated distribution costs were $15.7 million in 2018 and $14.4 million in 2017. Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs were $11.8 million and $10.4 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively. Advertising expenses are primarily included in selling and administrative expenses. Foreign Currency Translations - The Company accounts for currency translations in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters . The Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries’ local currencies are the functional currencies under which the balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at fiscal year-end and income and expense accounts are translated at the weighted average rates of exchange in effect during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recognized as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a component of equity. Foreign Currency Transactions - Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other expense, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses totaled ($459,000) of losses in 2018 and $146,000 of gains in 2017. These gains and losses resulted mainly from the revaluation of intercompany loans between the Company’s wholesale segment and Florsheim Australia. Financial Instruments – At December 31, 2018, the Company had a foreign exchange contract outstanding to sell $3.0 million Canadian dollars at a price of approximately $2.3 million U.S. dollars. This contract expires in 2019. 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 2018 and 2017, realized gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts were immaterial to the Company’s financial statements. Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock. Diluted earnings per share includes any dilutive effects of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock. See Note 16. Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income includes net earnings and changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Comprehensive income is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. See Note 12 for more details regarding changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Share-Based Compensation - At December 31, 2018, the Company had three share-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 18. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation . The Company’s policy is to estimate the fair market value of each option award granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates the fair value of each restricted stock award based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock price on the grant date. The resulting compensation cost for both the options and restricted stock is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the respective awards. Concentration of Credit Risk – There was one individual customer accounts receivable balance outstanding that was 10% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2018. The Company had no single customer that represented more than 10% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2017. Additionally, there were no individual customers with sales above 10% of the Company’s total sales in 2018 and 2017. New Accounting Pronouncements – Recently Adopted On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all related amendments, which were together codified into ASC 606. This guidance was adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company did not restate prior period information for the effects of the new standard, nor did the Company adjust the opening balance of retained earnings to account for the implementation of the new requirements of this standard. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on the results of operations in future periods. In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . This new standard allows entities to reclassify certain tax effects related to the enactment of the TCJA from accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) to retained earnings. Prior to the issuance of the new guidance, a portion of the previously recognized deferred tax effects recorded in AOCL was “left stranded” in AOCL, as the effect of remeasuring the deferred taxes using the reduced U.S. federal corporate income tax rate was required to be recorded through income. The new guidance allows these stranded tax effects to be reclassified from AOCL to retained earnings. The new guidance was adopted effective January 1, 2018, and resulted in a reclassification of approximately $2.4 million from AOCL to retained earnings. Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases Targeted Improvements Leases $25 million and $30 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes the following three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the sources of data and assumptions used to develop the fair value measurements: · 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 5. 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.

Retirement Benefits [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, and 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 which requires employers to recognize the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans as an asset or liability in their statements of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur as a component of comprehensive income. In addition, ASC 715 requires employers to measure the funded status of their plans as of the date of their year-end statements of financial position. ASC 715 also requires additional disclosures regarding amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company’s pension plan’s weighted average asset allocation at December 31, 2018 and 2017, by asset category, was as follows: Plan Assets at December 31, 2018 2017 Asset Category: Equity Securities 53 % 55 % Fixed Income Securities 40 % 39 % Other 7 % 6 % 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 7.00% long-term rate of return on assets assumption for both 2018 and 2017. To determine the funded status of the Plan at December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company used a weighted average discount rate of 4.39% and 3.71% in 2018 and 2017, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of the change in benefit obligation and plan assets of both the defined benefit pension plan and the unfunded supplemental pension plan for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017: Defined Benefit Pension Plan Supplemental Pension Plan 2018 2017 2018 2017 (Dollars in thousands) Change in projected benefit obligation Projected benefit obligation, beginning of year $ 49,375 $ 45,079 $ 17,176 $ 15,409 Service cost 360 378 209 185 Interest cost 1,608 1,616 595 591 Actuarial (gain) loss (4,039 ) 4,423 (1,601 ) 1,519 Benefits paid (2,294 ) (2,121 ) (488 ) (528 ) Projected benefit obligation, end of year $ 45,010 $ 49,375 $ 15,891 $ 17,176 Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets, beginning of year 38,369 32,278 - - Actual return on plan assets (1,362 ) 4,590 - - Administrative expenses (360 ) (378 ) - - Contributions 3,000 4,000 488 528 Benefits paid (2,294 ) (2,121 ) (488 ) (528 ) Fair value of plan assets, end of year $ 37,353 $ 38,369 $ - $ - Funded status of plan $ (7,657 ) $ (11,006 ) $ (15,891 ) $ (17,176 ) Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets consist of: Accrued liabilities - other $ - $ - $ (436 ) $ (416 ) Long-term pension liability (7,657 ) (11,006 ) (15,455 ) (16,760 ) Net amount recognized $ (7,657 ) $ (11,006 ) $ (15,891 ) $ (17,176 ) Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss consist of: Accumulated loss, net of income tax benefit of $4,082, $5,904, $1,102 and $2,166, respectively $ 11,616 $ 9,916 $ 3,136 $ 3,854 Prior service cost, net of income tax liability of $0, $0, ($28) and ($75), respectively - - (81 ) (97 ) Net amount recognized $ 11,616 $ 9,916 $ 3,055 $ 3,757 As noted above, benefit accruals under the plan were frozen, effective December 31, 2016. Therefore, the accumulated benefit obligation of the defined benefit pension plan and supplemental pension plan were equal to the respective plans’ projected benefit obligations, as shown in the above table, at December 31, 2018 and 2017. Assumptions used in determining net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were: Defined Benefit Pension Plan Supplemental Pension Plan 2018 2017 2018 2017 Discount rate for determining projected benefit obligation 3.70 % 4.33 % 3.75 % 4.41 % Discount rate in effect for determining service cost - - 3.83 % 4.62 % Discount rate in effect for determining interest cost 3.33 % 3.63 % 3.51 % 3.92 % Long-term rate of return on plan assets 7.00 % 7.00 % - - The components of net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, were: 2018 2017 (Dollars in thousands) Service cost $ 569 $ 563 Interest cost 2,204 2,207 Expected return on plan assets (2,711 ) (2,301 ) Net amortization and deferral 634 526 Net periodic pension cost $ 696 $ 995 The components of net periodic pension cost other than the service cost component were included in “other expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company expects to recognize expense of $647,000 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 pension cost in 2019 which are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2018. 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 2018. Projected benefit payments for the plans at December 31, 2018, were estimated as follows: Defined Benefit Pension Plan Supplemental Pension Plan (Dollars in thousands) 2019 $ 2,698 $ 436 2020 $ 2,713 $ 470 2021 $ 2,726 $ 504 2022 $ 2,714 $ 551 2023 $ 2,755 $ 702 2024 - 2028 $ 14,016 $ 4,750 The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2018, by asset category within the fair value hierarchy (for further level information, see Note 4): December 31, 2018 Quoted Prices Significant Significant in Active Markets Observable Inputs Unobservable Inputs Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in thousands) Common stocks $ 13,556 $ 1,604 $ - $ 15,160 Preferred stocks 279 28 - 307 Exchange traded funds 4,454 - - 4,454 Corporate obligations - 4,568 - 4,568 State and municipal obligations - 1,046 - 1,046 Pooled fixed income funds 7,767 - - 7,767 U.S. government securities - 286 - 286 Marketable CD's - 911 - 911 Cash and cash equivalents 2,748 - - 2,748 Subtotal $ 28,804 $ 8,443 $ - $ 37,247 Other assets (1) 106 Total $ 37,353 (1) The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2017, by asset category within the fair value hierarchy (for further level information, see Note 4): December 31, 2017 Quoted Prices Significant Significant in Active Markets Observable Inputs Unobservable Inputs Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in thousands) Common stocks $ 13,855 $ 1,628 $ - $ 15,483 Preferred stocks 290 57 - 347 Exchange traded funds 5,546 - - 5,546 Corporate obligations - 5,867 - 5,867 State and municipal obligations - 1,313 - 1,313 Pooled fixed income funds 6,895 - - 6,895 U.S. government securities - 381 - 381 Cash and cash equivalents 2,444 - - 2,444 Subtotal $ 29,030 $ 9,246 $ - $ 38,276 Other assets (1) 93 Total $ 38,369 (1) The Company also has a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	13. INCOME TAXES On December 22, 2017, the TCJA was enacted. The TCJA made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code including, among other things, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate, and (2) requiring a one-time transition tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The TCJA reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. The impact of the lower U.S. federal tax rate in 2018 reduced the Company’s 2018 tax provision by $3.2 million. The Company estimated the one-time transition tax by analyzing the current earnings and profits of its foreign subsidiaries and concluded the transition tax is not a material component of its 2018 tax provision. In 2017, the Company remeasured its deferred tax balances to reflect the new lower federal tax rate, which resulted in a one-time adjustment that reduced its 2017 tax provision by $1.5 million. The provision for income taxes included the following components for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017: 2018 2017 (Dollars in thousands) Current: Federal $ 3,358 $ 3,904 State 1,048 499 Foreign 749 633 Total 5,155 5,036 Deferred 643 2,187 Total provision $ 5,798 $ 7,223 The differences between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017: 2018 2017 U.S. federal statutory income tax rate 21.0 % 35.0 % State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit 3.6 2.9 Non-taxable municipal bond interest (0.5 ) (0.9 ) Foreign income tax rate differences 0.8 0.1 Impact of tax rate change on deferred taxes - (5.8 ) Share-based compensation (2.5 ) 0.3 Other 0.1 (1.4 ) Effective tax rate 22.5 % 30.2 % The foreign component of pretax net earnings was $262,000 and $1.9 million for 2018 and 2017, respectively. The components of deferred taxes at December 31, 2018, and 2017 were as follows: 2018 2017 (Dollars in thousands) Deferred income tax assets: Accounts receivable reserves $ 192 $ 199 Pension liability 6,122 7,307 Accrued liabilities 1,779 1,975 Carryfoward losses 637 250 Foreign currency losses on intercompany loans 81 (46 ) 8,811 9,685 Deferred income tax liabilities: Inventory and related reserves (2,832 ) (2,989 ) Cash value of life insurance (382 ) (337 ) Property, plant and equipment (1,145 ) (1,373 ) Intangible assets (6,702 ) (6,125 ) Prepaid expenses and other assets (197 ) (180 ) (11,258 ) (11,004 ) Net deferred income tax liabilities $ (2,447 ) $ (1,319 ) The net deferred tax liabilities are classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: 2018 2017 (Dollars in thousands) Non-current deferred income tax benefits $ 1,277 $ 750 Non-current deferred income tax liabilities (3,724 ) (2,069 ) Net deferred income tax liabilities $ (2,447 ) $ (1,319 ) Uncertain Tax Positions The Company accounts for its uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) . ASC 740 provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits: 2018 2017 (Dollars in thousands) Unrecognized tax benefits balance at January 1, $ 412 $ 275 Increases related to current year tax positions 399 144 Decreases due to settlements of tax positions - (7 ) Decreases due to lapsing of statute of limitations (39 ) - Unrecognized tax benefits balance at December 31, $ 772 $ 412 The unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2018 and 2017, include $255,000 and $72,000, 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, 2018 and 2017. The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return, various U.S. state income tax returns and several foreign returns. In general, the 2015 through 2018 tax years remain subject to examination by those taxing authorities.

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 2018 and 2017, there was no single customer with sales above 10% of the Company’s total sales. In the retail segment, the Company operated nine brick and mortar retail stores and internet businesses in the United States at December 31, 2018. Sales in retail outlets are made directly to the consumer by Company employees. In addition to the sale of the Company’s brands of footwear in these retail outlets, other branded footwear and accessories are also sold. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Summarized segment data for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows: Wholesale Retail Other Total (Dollars in thousands) 2018 Product sales $ 230,831 $ 22,683 $ 42,330 $ 295,844 Licensing revenues 2,531 - - 2,531 Net sales 233,362 22,683 42,330 298,375 Depreciation 2,425 331 956 3,712 Earnings from operations 23,106 2,732 (379 ) 25,459 Total assets 239,119 4,440 26,485 270,044 Capital expenditures 648 76 686 1,410 2017 Product sales $ 214,733 $ 20,860 $ 45,613 $ 281,206 Licensing revenues 2,543 - - 2,543 Net sales 217,276 20,860 45,613 283,749 Depreciation 2,606 412 938 3,956 Earnings from operations 20,224 1,374 1,814 23,412 Total assets 228,738 4,548 29,546 262,832 Capital expenditures 735 338 505 1,578 All North American corporate office assets are included in the wholesale segment.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	18. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS At December 31, 2018, the Company had three share-based compensation plans: the 2011 Incentive Plan, the 2014 Incentive Plan, and the 2017 Incentive Plan (collectively, “the Plans”). Awards are no longer granted under the 2011 and 2014 plans; however, awards previously granted under such plans continue in accordance with their terms. 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, and the Company also grants restricted stock awards. The Company issues new common stock to satisfy stock option exercises as well as the issuance of restricted stock awards. Stock options and restricted stock awards were granted in the third quarters of both 2018 and 2017. 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. Stock options granted in 2018 and 2017 vest ratably over five years and expire 10 years from the grant date. Restricted stock granted in 2018 and 2017 vests ratably over four years. As of December 31, 2018, there were approximately 1.1 million shares remaining available for share-based awards under the 2017 Incentive Plan. Stock option exercises can be net share settled such that the Company withholds shares with value equivalent to the exercise price of the stock option awards plus the employees’ minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes. Total shares withheld were approximately 204,000 and 120,000 in 2018 and 2017, respectively, and were based on the value of the stock on the exercise dates. The net share settlement has the effect of share repurchases by the Company as they reduce the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued. Total payments made by the Company for the employees’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities were $699,000 and $154,000 in 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are reflected as a financing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows. In accordance with ASC 718, share-based compensation expense was recognized in the 2018 and 2017 consolidated financial statements for stock options and restricted stock awards granted since 2013. An estimate of forfeitures, based on historical data, was included in the calculation of share-based compensation. The effect of applying the expense recognition provisions of ASC 718 decreased Earnings before Provision for Income Taxes by $1,513,000 in 2018, and by $1,622,000 in 2017. At December 31, 2018, there was $1.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted in the years 2015 through 2018 which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.9 years. At December 31, 2018, there was $1.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards granted in the years 2015 through 2018 which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.9 years. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine compensation expense related to stock options in 2018 and 2017: 2018 2017 Risk-free interest rate 2.80 % 2.04 % Expected dividend yield 2.47 % 3.15 % Expected term 8.0 8.0 Expected volatility 19.9 % 19.7 % 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, 2018 2017 Stock Options Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding at beginning of year 1,502,493 $ 26.57 1,486,257 $ 26.13 Granted 129,200 37.22 211,200 27.94 Exercised (429,047 ) 25.96 (174,989 ) 24.48 Forfeited or expired (29,026 ) 26.67 (19,975 ) 26.53 Outstanding at end of year 1,173,620 $ 27.96 1,502,493 $ 26.57 Exercisable at end of year 692,007 $ 26.92 877,131 $ 26.59 Weighted average fair market value of options granted $ 7.07 $ 4.05 Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding - December 31, 2018 4.2 $ 2,452,000 Exercisable - December 31, 2018 2.3 $ 1,560,000 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 31, 2018 of $29.17 and the exercise price multiplied by the number of in-the-money outstanding and exercisable stock options.

These shares had an aggregate intrinsic value of $1.8 million at December 31, 2018. The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated using the market value of the Company’s stock on December 31, 2018 of $29.17 multiplied by the number of non-vested restricted shares outstanding. The income tax benefit from the vesting of restricted stock for the years ended December 31 was $249,000 in 2018 and $167,000 in 2017.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include all of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents included investments in U.S. treasury bills, money market accounts, and cash deposits at various banks. The Company periodically has cash balances in excess of insured amounts. The Company has not experienced any losses on deposits in excess of insured amounts.
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Investments - All of the Company’s municipal bond investments are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost pursuant to ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, as the Company has the intent and ability to hold all investments to maturity. See Note 5.
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounts Receivable – Trade accounts receivable arise from the sale of products on unsecured trade credit terms. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews all significant accounts with past due balances, as well as the collectability of other outstanding trade accounts receivable for possible write-off. It is the Company’s policy to write-off accounts receivable against the allowance account when receivables are deemed to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses in the accounts receivable balances. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other evidence currently available.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Inventories
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment are depreciated using primarily the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows: buildings and improvements, 10 to 39 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 5 years; furniture and fixtures, 5 to 7 years. For income tax reporting purposes, depreciation is calculated using applicable methods.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset. In 2018, an impairment charge of $246,000 was
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill - The Company’s goodwill resulted from the 2011 acquisition of the BOGS and Rafters brands. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if indicators of impairment are present. The applicable reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing is the wholesale segment. The Company has the option to assess goodwill for impairment by performing either a qualitative assessment or quantitative test. The qualitative assessment is the first step and determines whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the assessment indicates the fair value exceeds the carrying value, then there is no impairment and the quantitative test is not required. However, if the assessment indicates the fair value is less than the carrying value, then the quantitative test is required. The quantitative test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its book value including goodwill, and if the fair value is less than the book value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference, limited to the value of the goodwill. The Company performed the required annual impairment tests for goodwill in 2018 and 2017, and found no impairment. There has never been an impairment recorded on this goodwill.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Intangible Assets (excluding Goodwill) - Other intangible assets consist of customer relationships and trademarks. Customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Trademarks are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable. In 2018, an impairment charge of $110,000 was recorded to write off the remaining value of the Umi trademark, as the Company continues to wind down operations of this brand. No other impairment was recorded on the Company’s trademarks in 2018 or 2017.
Life Settlement Contracts, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Life Insurance – Life insurance policies are recorded at the amount that could be realized under the insurance contracts as of the balance sheet date. These assets are included within other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 9.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences arising from differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates in effect. Tax rate changes affecting deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in income at the enactment date. 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 13.
Noncontrolling Interest Policy [Policy Text Block]	Noncontrolling Interest - The Company’s former noncontrolling interest, which was accounted for under ASC 810, represented the minority shareholder’s ownership interest in the wholesale and retail businesses of Florsheim Australia. In accordance with ASC 810, the Company reported its noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and reported both net earnings (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest and net earnings attributable to the Company’s common shareholders on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. On August 30, 2018, the Company acquired the minority interest in Florsheim Australia for $3.7 million, and the Company now owns 100% of Florsheim Australia.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenue contracts represent a single performance obligation to sell its products to its customers. Sales are recorded at the time control of the product is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the products. Wholesale revenue is generally recognized upon shipment of the product, as that is when the customer obtains control of the promised goods. Shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the product transfers to the customer are treated as fulfillment activities, not as a separate performance obligation. Retail revenue is generated primarily from the sale of footwear to customers at retail locations or through the Company’s websites. For in-store sales, the Company recognizes revenue at the point of sale. For sales made through the Company’s websites, revenue is recognized upon shipment to the customer. Sales taxes collected from website or retail sales are excluded from the Company’s reported net sales. Revenue from third-party licensing agreements is recognized in the period earned. Licensing revenues were $2.5 million in both 2018 and 2017. All revenue is recorded net of estimated allowances for returns and discounts; these revenue offsets are accrued for at the time of sale. The Company’s estimates of allowances for returns and discounts are based on such factors as specific customer situations, historical experience, and current and expected economic conditions. The Company evaluates the reserves and the estimation process and makes adjustments when appropriate. Generally, payments from customers are received within 90 days following the sale. The Company’s contracts with customers do not have significant financing components or significant prepayments from customers, and there is no non-cash consideration. The Company does not have unbilled revenue, and there are no contract assets and liabilities.
Shipping and Handling Fees, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Shipping and Handling Fees - The Company classifies shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenues. Shipping and handling expenses incurred by the Company are included in selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See “ Selling and Administrative Expenses ” below.
Cost of Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cost of Sales - The Company’s cost of sales includes the cost of products and inbound freight and duty costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Selling and Administrative Expenses - Selling and administrative expenses primarily include salaries and commissions, advertising costs, employee benefit costs, distribution costs (e.g., receiving, inspection, warehousing, shipping, and handling costs), rent and depreciation. Consolidated distribution costs were $15.7 million in 2018 and $14.4 million in 2017.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs were $11.8 million and $10.4 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively. Advertising expenses are primarily included in selling and administrative expenses.
Foreign Currency Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	Foreign Currency Translations - The Company accounts for currency translations in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters . The Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries’ local currencies are the functional currencies under which the balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at fiscal year-end and income and expense accounts are translated at the weighted average rates of exchange in effect during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recognized as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a component of equity.
Foreign Currency Transactions Policy [Policy Text Block]	Foreign Currency Transactions - Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other expense, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses totaled ($459,000) of losses in 2018 and $146,000 of gains in 2017. These gains and losses resulted mainly from the revaluation of intercompany loans between the Company’s wholesale segment and Florsheim Australia.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Financial Instruments – At December 31, 2018, the Company had a foreign exchange contract outstanding to sell $3.0 million Canadian dollars at a price of approximately $2.3 million U.S. dollars. This contract expires in 2019. 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 2018 and 2017, realized gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts were immaterial to the Company’s financial statements.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock. Diluted earnings per share includes any dilutive effects of restricted stock and options to purchase common stock. See Note 16.
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income includes net earnings and changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Comprehensive income is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. See Note 12 for more details regarding changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Share-Based Compensation - At December 31, 2018, the Company had three share-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 18. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation . The Company’s policy is to estimate the fair market value of each option award granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates the fair value of each restricted stock award based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock price on the grant date. The resulting compensation cost for both the options and restricted stock is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the respective awards.
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Concentration of Credit Risk – There was one individual customer accounts receivable balance outstanding that was 10% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2018. The Company had no single customer that represented more than 10% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2017. Additionally, there were no individual customers with sales above 10% of the Company’s total sales in 2018 and 2017.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	New Accounting Pronouncements – Recently Adopted On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all related amendments, which were together codified into ASC 606. This guidance was adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company did not restate prior period information for the effects of the new standard, nor did the Company adjust the opening balance of retained earnings to account for the implementation of the new requirements of this standard. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on the results of operations in future periods. In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . This new standard allows entities to reclassify certain tax effects related to the enactment of the TCJA from accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) to retained earnings. Prior to the issuance of the new guidance, a portion of the previously recognized deferred tax effects recorded in AOCL was “left stranded” in AOCL, as the effect of remeasuring the deferred taxes using the reduced U.S. federal corporate income tax rate was required to be recorded through income. The new guidance allows these stranded tax effects to be reclassified from AOCL to retained earnings. The new guidance was adopted effective January 1, 2018, and resulted in a reclassification of approximately $2.4 million from AOCL to retained earnings. Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases Targeted Improvements Leases $25 million and $30 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans
