Background	Hanesbrands Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), is a consumer goods company with a portfolio of leading apparel brands, including Hanes, Champion, Maidenform, DIM, Playtex, Bali, JMS/Just My Size, Nur Die/Nur Der, L’eggs, Lovable, Wonderbra, Flexees, Lilyette, Gear for Sports, Bonds, Berlei, Shock Absorber, Abanderado, Rinbros and Zorba . The Company designs, manufactures, sources and sells a broad range of basic apparel such as T-shirts, bras, panties, men’s underwear, children’s underwear, activewear, socks and hosiery. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company began to separately report the results of its Dunlop Flooring and Tontine Pillow businesses as discontinued operations in its Consolidated Statements of Income, and to present the related assets and liabilities as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Unless otherwise noted, discussion within these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. See note “Discontinued Operations” for additional information on discontinued operations. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. All references to “ 2016 ”, “ 2015 ” and “ 2014 ” relate to the 52 week fiscal years ended on December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 and the 53 week fiscal year ended on January 3, 2015 , respectively. Three subsidiaries of the Company close on the calendar month-end. As the Company’s fiscal year end is on December 31, 2016, there is no difference in reporting of financial information for these subsidiaries in the 2016 fiscal year. The difference in reporting of comparative financial information did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. A significant subsidiary of the Company, Hanes Holdings Lux S.à.r.l. (formerly named DBA Lux Holding S.A.) (“Hanes Europe Innerwear”), had a 53 week fiscal year ended January 2, 2016 as a result of aligning Hanes Europe Innerwear’s year end with the Company in the year after acquisition. The 53rd week of financial information for Hanes Europe Innerwear did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Text Block [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, certain financial statement disclosures at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may vary from these estimates. (c) Foreign Currency Translation Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) within stockholders’ equity. The Company translates the results of operations of its foreign operations at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. (d) Sales Recognition and Incentives The Company recognizes revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) title and the risks of ownership have been transferred to the customer and (iv) collection of the receivable is reasonably assured, which occurs primarily upon shipment. The Company records a sales reduction for returns and allowances based upon historical return experience. The Company earns royalty revenues through license agreements with manufacturers of other consumer products that incorporate certain of the Company’s brands. The Company accrues revenue earned under these contracts based upon reported sales from the licensee. The Company offers a variety of sales incentives to resellers and consumers of its products, and the policies regarding the recognition and display of these incentives within the Consolidated Statements of Income are as follows: Discounts, Coupons, and Rebates The Company recognizes the cost of these incentives at the later of the date at which the related sale is recognized or the date at which the incentive is offered. The cost of these incentives is estimated using a number of factors, including historical utilization and redemption rates. All cash incentives of this type are included in the determination of net sales. The Company includes incentives offered in the form of free products in the determination of cost of sales. Volume-Based Incentives These incentives typically involve rebates or refunds of cash that are redeemable only if the reseller completes a specified number of sales transactions. Under these incentive programs, the Company estimates the anticipated rebate to be paid and allocates a portion of the estimated cost of the rebate to each underlying sales transaction with the customer. The Company includes these amounts in the determination of net sales. Cooperative Advertising Under these arrangements, the Company agrees to reimburse the reseller for a portion of the costs incurred by the reseller to advertise and promote certain of the Company’s products. The Company recognizes the cost of cooperative advertising programs in the period in which the advertising and promotional activity first takes place. The Company includes these amounts in the determination of net sales. Fixtures and Racks Store fixtures and racks are periodically used by resellers to display Company products. The Company expenses the cost of these fixtures and racks in the period in which they are delivered to the resellers. The Company includes the costs of fixtures and racks incurred by resellers and charged back to the Company in the determination of net sales. Fixtures and racks purchased by the Company and provided to resellers are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. (e) Advertising Expense Advertising costs, which include the development and production of advertising materials and the communication of these materials through various forms of media, are expensed in the period the advertising first takes place. The Company recognized advertising expense in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” caption in the Consolidated Statements of Income of $168,701 , $181,956 and $183,333 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. (f) Shipping and Handling Costs Revenue received for shipping and handling costs is included in net sales and was $19,446 , $19,710 and $22,903 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Shipping costs, which comprise payments to third party shippers, and handling costs, which consist of warehousing costs in the Company’s various distribution facilities, were $324,845 , $332,678 and $295,280 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company recognizes shipping, handling and distribution costs in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. (g) Catalog Expenses The Company incurs expenses for printing catalogs for products to aid in the Company’s sales efforts. The Company initially records these expenses as a prepaid item and charges it against selling, general and administrative expenses over time as the catalog is used. Expenses are recognized at a rate that approximates historical experience with regard to the timing and amount of sales attributable to a catalog distribution. The Company discontinued its’ catalog business during 2016. (h) Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Research and development includes expenditures for new product, technological improvements for existing products and process innovation, which primarily consist of salaries, consulting and supplies attributable to time spent on research and development activities. Additional costs include depreciation and maintenance for research and development equipment and facilities. Research and development expense was $70,096 , $62,324 and $63,268 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. (i) Defined Contribution Benefit Plans The Company sponsors 401(k) plans as well as other defined contribution benefit plans. Expense for these plans was $26,434 , $21,972 and $22,898 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. (j) Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. (k) Accounts Receivable Valuation Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, aging of trade receivables, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information. (l) Inventory Valuation Inventories are stated at the estimated lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out, or “FIFO,” method for inventories. Obsolete, damaged, and excess inventory is carried at the net realizable value, which is determined by assessing historical recovery rates, current market conditions and future marketing and sales plans. Rebates, discounts and other cash consideration received from a vendor related to inventory purchases are reflected as reductions in the cost of the related inventory item, and are therefore reflected in cost of sales when the related inventory item is sold. (m) Property Property is stated at historical cost and depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from three to 15 years and buildings and building improvements over periods of up to 40 years. A change in the depreciable life is treated as a change in accounting estimate and the accelerated depreciation is accounted for in the period of change and future periods. Additions and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset and interest costs incurred during the construction period of major properties are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or disposition of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Property is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events include significant adverse changes in the business climate, several periods of operating or cash flow losses, forecasted continuing losses or a current expectation that an asset or an asset group will be disposed of before the end of its useful life. Recoverability of property is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value. When an impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used, the adjusted carrying amount of those assets is depreciated over its remaining useful life. Restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is not permitted under U.S. GAAP. (n) Trademarks and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets The primary identifiable intangible assets of the Company are trademarks, licensing agreements, customer and distributor relationships and computer software. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized and those with indefinite lives are not amortized. The estimated useful life of a finite-lived intangible asset is based upon a number of factors, including the effects of demand, competition, expected changes in distribution channels and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain future cash flows. Trademarks with finite lives are being amortized over periods ranging from seven to 20 years , license agreements are being amortized over periods ranging from three to 17 years , customer and distributor relationships are being amortized over periods ranging from two to 15 years and computer software and other intangibles are being amortized over periods ranging from one to seven years . Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used in evaluating elements of property. Identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually, as of the first day of the third fiscal quarter, and as triggering events occur. The impairment test for identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization consists of comparing the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying amount. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess. In assessing fair value, management relies on a number of factors to discount anticipated future cash flows including operating results, business plans and present value techniques. Rates used to discount cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of intangible asset impairment. The Company capitalizes internal software development costs incurred during the application development stage, which include the actual costs to purchase software from vendors and generally include personnel and related costs for employees who were directly associated with the enhancement and implementation of purchased computer software. Additions to computer software are included in purchases of property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. (o) Goodwill Goodwill is the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. When a business combination is completed, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned to the reporting unit or units of the Company given responsibility for managing, controlling and generating returns on these assets and liabilities. In many instances, all of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are assigned to a single reporting unit and in these cases all of the goodwill is assigned to the same reporting unit. In those situations in which the acquired assets and liabilities are allocated to more than one reporting unit, the goodwill to be assigned to each reporting unit is determined in a manner similar to how the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined. Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events occur. The Company’s annual measurement date is the first day of the third fiscal quarter. In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, the Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units and compares it to the carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the next step of the process involves comparing the implied fair value to the carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess. No impairment of goodwill was identified as a result of the testing conducted in 2016 . In estimating the fair values of the reporting units, management relies on a number of factors to discount anticipated future cash flows including operating results, business plans and present value techniques. Rates used to discount cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. (p) Insurance Reserves The Company is self-insured for property, workers’ compensation, medical and other casualty programs up to certain stop-loss limits. Undiscounted liabilities for self-insured exposures are accrued at the present value of the expected aggregate losses below those limits and are based on a number of assumptions, including historical trends, actuarial assumptions and economic conditions. (q) Stock-Based Compensation The Company established the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated), (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”) to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares and cash to its employees, non-employee directors and employees of its subsidiaries to promote the interests of the Company, incent performance and retention of employees. The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of those awards. (r) Income Taxes Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Given continuing losses in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates on a separate return basis, a valuation allowance has been established for the deferred tax assets in these specific locations. The Company periodically estimates the probable tax obligations using historical experience in tax jurisdictions and informed judgment. There are inherent uncertainties related to the interpretation of tax regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company transacts business. The judgments and estimates made at a point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits, as well as changes to, or further interpretations of, regulations. Income tax expense is adjusted in the period in which these events occur, and these adjustments are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. If such changes take place, there is a risk that the Company’s effective tax rate may increase or decrease in any period. A company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. (s) Financial Instruments The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the Company’s exposure to these risks with the goal of reducing the risk or cost to the Company. Depending on the nature of the underlying risk being hedged, these financial instruments are either designated as cash flow hedges or are economic hedges against changes in the value of the hedged item and therefore not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivative contracts. On the date the derivative is entered into, the Company determines whether the derivative meets the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting treatment or whether the financial instrument is serving as an economic hedge against changes in the value of the hedged item and therefore is not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. The accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instrument depends on whether the derivative has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identifying the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivatives that are designated as hedges of specific assets, liabilities, firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, or if the anticipated transaction is no longer likely to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting, and any deferred gains or losses are recorded in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and classified as current or noncurrent based on the derivatives’ maturity dates. The fair value is based upon either market quotes for actively traded instruments or independent bids for nonexchange traded instruments. Cash flows hedges are classified in the same category as the item being hedged, and cash flows from derivative contracts not designated as hedges are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company may be exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by individual counterparties or the entire group of counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts. Risk of nonperformance by counterparties is mitigated by dealing with highly rated counterparties and by diversifying across counterparties. Cash Flow Hedges The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the hedged item affects the income statement, the gain or loss included in AOCI is reported on the same line in the Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged item. In addition, both the fair value of changes excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives used as cash flow hedges are reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges For derivative contracts not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. These contracts are recorded at fair value when the hedged item is recorded as an asset or liability and then are revalued each accounting period. (t) Assets and Liabilities Acquired in Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method, which requires the Company to allocate the cost of an acquired business to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes the excess of an acquired business’ cost over the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as goodwill. Fair values are determined using the income approach based on market participant assumptions focusing on future cash flow projections and accepted industry standards. (u) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Going Concern In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)”, which requires an evaluation every reporting period, including interim periods, of whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and provide certain footnote disclosures depending on the result of such evaluation. The new rule was effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Debt Issuance Costs In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest”, which require debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The impact of adopting the new accounting guidance on classification of debt issuance costs on the Company’s 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheet is a reduction in noncurrent assets and long-term debt of $21,450 . In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements”. The guidance clarifies accounting for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The standard states that the FASB deems deferring debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as an asset and amortizing over the term of the agreement to be appropriate, which is consistent with the Company’s existing accounting treatment for these costs. Cloud Computing In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”. The guidance provides clarification on whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a software license is included, the customer should account for the license consistent with its accounting for other software licenses. If a software license is not included, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Fair Value Measurement In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)”, which removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient, and requires separate disclosure of those investments instead. These disclosures were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, however management adopted the related applicable disclosures. Refer to Note, “Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities”. Measurement Period Adjustments In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805)”, which simplify the accounting for measurement period adjustments by eliminating the requirements to restate prior period financial statements for these adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The new standard, which should be applied prospectively to measurement period adjustments that occur after the effective date, was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Stock Compensation In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which requires all excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in income as they occur. The new guidance also changes the cash flow presentation of excess tax benefits, classifying them as operating inflows or outflows. The new rules are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. The Company elected to early adopt in the second quarter of 2016, with a retrospective effective date of January 3, 2016. Periods prior to 2016 were not restated for the adoption of this accounting standard as the Company has adopted this standard on a prospective basis beginning January 3, 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Consolidation In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810)”, an update to their existing consolidation model, which changes the analysis a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”, which require inventory to be recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Revenue from Contracts with Customers In August 2015, the FASB decided to delay effective dates for the new accounting rules related to revenue recognition for contracts with customers by one year. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Principal versus Agent Considerations)”, which clarifies revenue recognition when an agent, along with the entity, is involved in providing a good or service to the customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing)”, which clarifies the principle for determining whether a good or service is “separately identifiable” and, therefore, should be accounted for separately. In May 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients)”, which clarifies the objective of the collectability criterion. A separate update issued in May 2016 clarifies the accounting for shipping and handling fees and costs as well as accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018 with retrospective application required. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Lease Accounting In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”, which will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases that are not short-term in nature. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the new rules on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Hedge Accounting In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships”, which clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative contract, in and of itself, does not require the dedesignation of a hedging relationship. The new standard, which can be adopted prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis, is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Also in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments”, which clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this Update is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. The new standard, which should be applied on a modified prospective basis, is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Statement of Cash Flows In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. Issues addressed in the new guidance that are relevant to the Company include debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. In addition, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash”. The amendment requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows. Income Taxes In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory”. The update eliminates the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory, which aligns the recognition of income tax consequences for inter-entity transfers of assets other than inventory by requiring the recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of such an asset when the transfer occurs rather than when it is sold to an external party. The new rules will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financi

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions Hanes Australasia On July 14, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Pacific Brands Limited (“Hanes Australasia”) for a total purchase price of AUD$ 1,049,360 ( $800,871 ). US dollar equivalents are based on acquisition date exchange rates. The Company funded the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand, a portion of the net proceeds from the 3.5% Senior Notes issued in June 2016 and borrowings under the Australian Term A-1 Loan Facility and the Australian Term A-2 Loan Facility. Hanes Australasia contributed net revenues from continuing operations of $281,442 and pretax earnings of $33,146 (excluding acquisition and integration related charges included in general corporate expenses of approximately $30,783 ) since the date of acquisition. The results of Hanes Australasia have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition and are reported as part of the International segment. Hanes Australasia is a leading underwear and intimate apparel company in Australia with a portfolio of strong brands including Bonds , Australia’s top brand of underwear, babywear and socks, and Berlei , a leading sports bra brand and leading seller of premium bras in department stores. The Company believes the acquisition will create growth opportunities by adding to the Company’s portfolio of leading innerwear brands supported by the Company’s global low-cost supply chain and manufacturing network. Factors that contribute to the amount of goodwill recognized for the acquisition include the value of the existing work force and expected cost savings by utilizing the Company’s low-cost supply chain and expected synergies with existing Company functions. Goodwill associated with the acquisition is not tax deductible. The Bonds, Sheridan, Explorer, Razza, Hestia and Voodoo trademarks and brand names, which management believes to have indefinite lives, have been valued at $410,541 . The perpetual license agreement associated with the Berlei brand has been valued at $38,160 . Amortizable intangible assets have been assigned values of $58,003 for distributor relationships, $3,206 for loyalty programs and customer lists and $3,740 for net unfavorable leases and an unfavorable license agreement. Distributor relationships are being amortized over 10 years . Loyalty programs, customer lists and net unfavorable leases are being amortized over 3 years . Acquired assets included in current assets of discontinued operations, which are classified as held for sale, include the Dunlop Flooring trademark, which has been valued at $12,364 and $3,511 for distributor relationships. Refer to Note, “Discontinued Operations” for further discussion on these businesses. The allocation of purchase price is preliminary and subject to change. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized are related to income taxes and residual goodwill. Accordingly, adjustments may be made to the values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances, which existed at the acquisition date. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities at the date of acquisition (July 14, 2016) include the following: Cash and cash equivalents $ 54,294 Accounts receivable, net 36,019 Inventories 104,806 Other current assets 16,588 Current assets of discontinued operations 50,839 Property, net 34,835 Trademarks and other identifiable intangibles 506,170 Deferred tax assets and other noncurrent assets 18,320 Total assets acquired 821,871 Accounts payable 89,309 Accrued liabilities and other 22,838 Current liabilities of discontinued operations 14,564 Long-term debt 41,976 Deferred tax liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities 15,817 Total liabilities assumed 184,504 Net assets acquired 637,367 Goodwill 163,504 Purchase price $ 800,871 Since July 14, 2016, goodwill decreased by $22,644 as a result of measurement period adjustments, primarily related to the valuation adjustments for the Dunlop Flooring and Tontine Pillow businesses. Champion Europe On June 30, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of Champion Europe S.p.A. (“Champion Europe”), which owns the trademark for the Champion brand in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, from certain individual shareholders in an all-cash transaction valued at €220,751 ( $245,554 ) enterprise value less working capital adjustments as defined in the purchase agreement, which includes €40,700 ( $45,277 ) in estimated contingent consideration. US dollar equivalents are based on acquisition date exchange rates. The contingent consideration is included in the “Accrued liabilities” line in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet and is based on 10 times Champion Europe’s expected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the calendar year 2016 and is payable in 2017. The Company funded the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the 3.5% Senior Notes issued in June 2016. Champion Europe contributed net revenues of $103,838 and pretax earnings of $13,895 (excluding acquisition and integration related charges included in general corporate expenses of approximately $10,972 ) since the date of acquisition. The results of Champion Europe have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition and are reported as part of the International segment. The Company believes combining the Champion business will create a unified platform to benefit from the global consumer growth trend for active apparel. Factors that contribute to the amount of goodwill recognized for the acquisition include the value of the existing work force and expected cost savings by utilizing the Company’s low-cost supply chain and expected synergies with existing Company functions. Goodwill associated with the acquisition is not tax deductible. The Champion trademark, which management believes to have an indefinite life, has been valued at $119,146 . Amortizable intangible assets have been assigned values of $15,463 for distributor relationships, $2,225 for license agreements and $1,557 for unfavorable leases. Distributor relationships are being amortized over 10 years . License agreements and unfavorable leases are being amortized over 3 years . The allocation of purchase price is preliminary and subject to change. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized are related to certain income taxes and residual goodwill. Accordingly, adjustments may be made to the values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances, which existed at the acquisition date. The contingent consideration will be revalued each reporting period until paid in 2017. At December 31, 2016 , the value of the contingent consideration remains the same as at the acquisition date. The acquired assets, contingent consideration and assumed liabilities at the date of acquisition (June 30, 2016) include the following: Cash and cash equivalents $ 14,581 Trade accounts receivable, net 27,926 Inventories 53,816 Other current assets 5,976 Property, net 24,605 Trademarks and other identifiable intangibles 135,277 Deferred tax assets and other noncurrent assets 3,777 Total assets acquired 265,958 Accounts payable 66,594 Accrued liabilities and other (including contingent consideration) 60,887 Notes payable 27,748 Deferred tax liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities 20,282 Total liabilities assumed and contingent consideration 175,511 Net assets acquired 90,447 Goodwill 109,830 Initial consideration paid 200,277 Estimated contingent consideration 45,277 Total purchase price $ 245,554 Since June 30, 2016, goodwill increased by $1,665 as a result of measurement period adjustments primarily to working capital.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued operations	Discontinued Operations As part of the Company’s acquisition of Hanes Australasia, the Company acquired Pacific Brand’s legacy Dunlop Flooring and Tontine Pillow businesses. The Company has concluded that these businesses are not a strategic fit, and therefore, the decision was made to divest the businesses. On December 15, 2016, the Company entered into two definitive agreements to sell the Dunlop Flooring business for AUD$ 34,000 to Victoria PLC and the Tontine Pillow business for AUD$ 14,000 to John Cotton Group. On February 1, 2017, the Company completed the sale of the Dunlop Flooring business, resulting in an insignificant pre-tax gain. The sale of the Tontine Pillow business is expected to close in the first quarter of 2017, pending customary closing conditions. The Company expects the gain or loss as a result of the Tontine Pillow transaction to be insignificant. As of December 31, 2016 , these two businesses have been classified as assets held for sale and qualify for discontinued operations upon the acquisition date. Therefore, the operating results and related assets and liabilities have been classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Discontinued operations does not include any allocation of corporate overhead expense or interest expense. The operating results of the discontinued operations only reflect revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to these businesses that will be eliminated from ongoing operations. The key components from discontinued operations related to the Dunlop Flooring and Tontine Pillow businesses were as follows: Year Ended December 31, Net sales $ 34,698 Cost of sales 22,554 Gross profit 12,144 Selling, general and administrative expenses 8,632 Operating profit 3,512 Other expenses 1,106 Income from discontinued operations before income tax expense 2,406 Income tax expense (49 ) Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax $ 2,455 Preliminary assets and liabilities of discontinued operations classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 consist of the following: Trade accounts receivable, net $ 10,139 Inventories 10,691 Property, net 3,630 Trademarks and other identifiable intangibles, net 14,929 Goodwill 10,479 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (8,257 ) Net other assets and liabilities (5,180 ) Net assets of discontinued operations $ 36,431 For the year ended December 31, 2016 , there were no material amounts of depreciation, amortization, capital expenditures, or significant operating or investing non-cash items related to discontinued operations.

Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) was computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS was calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock using the treasury stock method. In 2015, the Company implemented a four -for-one stock split on the Company’s common stock in the form of a 300% stock dividend. The reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares outstanding is as follows: Years Ended December 31, January 2, January 3, Basic weighted average shares outstanding 381,782 399,891 402,300 Effect of potentially dilutive securities: Stock options 1,983 2,719 4,452 Restricted stock units 756 1,009 1,292 Employee stock purchase plan and other 45 40 — Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 384,566 403,659 408,044 Restricted stock units totaling 303 , 348 and 376 units were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive for 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 , respectively. In 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , there were no anti-dilutive options to purchase shares of common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company established the Omnibus Incentive Plan to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares and cash to its employees, non-employee directors and employees of its subsidiaries to promote the interests of the Company, incent performance and retention of employees. Stock Options The exercise price of each stock option equals the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Options granted vest ratably over three years and can be exercised over a term of 10 years. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no options granted during any of the periods presented. A summary of the changes in stock options outstanding to the Company’s employees under the Omnibus Incentive Plan is presented below: Shares Weighted- Aggregate Weighted- Options outstanding at December 28, 2013 11,112 $ 5.53 $ 131,219 4.31 Exercised (3,800 ) 4.82 Forfeited (20 ) 5.59 Options outstanding at January 3, 2015 7,292 $ 5.92 $ 158,469 3.40 Exercised (4,540 ) 6.10 Options outstanding at January 2, 2016 2,752 $ 5.62 $ 65,531 2.88 Exercised (477 ) 5.90 Options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2016 2,275 $ 5.56 $ 36,438 2.20 The total intrinsic value of options that were exercised during 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $7,465 , $105,899 and $86,843 respectively. Stock Unit Awards Restricted stock units (RSUs) of the Company’s stock are granted to certain Company non-employee directors and employees to incent performance and retention over periods of one to four years, respectively. Upon vesting, the RSUs are converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis and issued to the grantees. Some RSUs which have been granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan vest upon continued future service to the Company, while others also have a performanced-based vesting feature. The cost of these awards is determined using the fair value of the shares on the date of grant, and compensation expense is recognized over the period during which the grantees provide the requisite service to the Company. A summary of the changes in the restricted stock unit awards outstanding under the Omnibus Incentive Plan is presented below: Shares Weighted- Aggregate Weighted- Nonvested share units outstanding at December 28, 2013 4,772 $ 10.06 $ 82,742 1.79 Granted — non-performanced based 490 27.26 Granted — performanced based 871 17.04 Vested (2,366 ) 7.54 Forfeited (349 ) 9.37 Nonvested share units outstanding at January 3, 2015 3,418 $ 16.12 $ 94,521 1.71 Granted — non-performanced based 516 31.06 Granted — performanced based 828 23.50 Vested (1,816 ) 11.45 Forfeited (113 ) 16.87 Nonvested share units outstanding at January 2, 2016 2,833 $ 23.99 $ 83,381 1.78 Granted — non-performanced based 748 23.44 Granted — performanced based 511 23.64 Vested (1,525 ) 19.47 Forfeited (47 ) 23.38 Nonvested share units outstanding at December 31, 2016 2,520 $ 26.46 $ 54,356 2.11 The total fair value of shares vested during 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $29,705 , $20,784 and $17,831 , respectively. Certain participants elected to defer receipt of shares earned upon vesting. In addition to granting RSUs that vest solely upon continued future service to the Company, the Company also grants performanced-based restricted stock units where the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will be received upon vesting range from 0% to 200% of the number of units granted based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance metrics. These performanced-based stock awards, which are included in the table above, represent awards that are earned based on future performance and service. As reported in the above table, the number of performanced-based restricted stock units granted each year represents the initial units granted on the date of grant plus any additional units that were earned based on the final achievement of the respective performance thresholds. For all share-based payments under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, during 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company recognized total compensation expense of $30,617 , $29,154 and $30,230 and recognized a deferred tax benefit of $11,754 , $11,382 and $11,757 , respectively. At December 31, 2016 , there was $11,027 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements, of which $7,414 , $2,678 , and $935 is expected to be recognized in 2017 , 2018 , and 2019 , respectively. The Company satisfies the requirement for common shares for share-based payments to employees pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan by issuing newly authorized shares. The Omnibus Incentive Plan authorized 63,220 shares for awards of stock options and restricted stock units, of which 10,677 were available for future grants as of December 31, 2016 .

Sales of Accounts Receivable The Company has entered into agreements to sell selected trade accounts receivable to financial institutions. After the sale, the Company does not retain any interests in the receivables and the applicable financial institution services and collects these accounts receivable directly from the customer. Net proceeds of these accounts receivable sale programs are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as part of operating cash flows. The Company recognized funding fees of $4,497 , $2,452 and $2,599 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively, for sales of accounts receivable to financial institutions in the “Other expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The outstanding balances at December 31, 2016 are reported in the “Current portion of long-term debt”, “Long-term debt” and “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility” lines of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total cash paid for interest related to debt in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $130,603 , $106,231 and $85,512 , respectively. Senior Notes Refinancing In 2016, the Company refinanced its debt structure to reduce interest rates, increase borrowing capacity, increase the proportion of fixed rate debt and to help fund the acquisitions of Champion Europe and Hanes Australasia. The refinancing consisted of: (i) issuing $900,000 aggregate principal amount of the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2026, $900,000 aggregate principal amount of the 4.625% Senior Notes due 2024, and €500,000 aggregate principal amount of the 3.5% Senior Notes due 2024; (ii) redeeming in full the Company’s 6.375% Senior Notes due 2020; and (iii) repaying a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility. The refinancing activity resulted in the incurrence of $39,523 in capitalized debt issuance costs for the new Senior Notes. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the respective lives of the debt instruments, which range from eight to 10 years . The Company recognizes charges in the “Other expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income for fees incurred in financing transactions such as refinancing and amendments and for write-offs incurred in the early extinguishment of debt. In 2016, the Company recognized charges of $47,291 for the call premium and write-off of unamortized debt costs related to the redemption of the 6.375% Senior Notes. 4.875% Senior Notes and 4.625% Senior Notes On May 6, 2016, the Company issued $900,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes and $900,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Senior Notes (collectively, the “USD Senior Notes”), with interest payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 4.875% Senior Notes will mature on May 15, 2026 and the 4.625% Senior Notes will mature on May 15, 2024. The sale of the USD Senior Notes resulted in collective net proceeds from the sale of approximately $1,773,000 , which were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the 6.375% Senior Notes and reduce the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility. On or after February 15, 2026, in the case of the 4.875% Senior Notes, and February 15, 2024, in the case of the 4.625% Senior Notes, the Company may redeem all or a portion of such notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a ny accrued and unpaid interest. The USD Senior Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all of the Company’s current domestic subsidiaries. The indenture governing the USD Senior Notes limits the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur liens, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets. The indenture also contains customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others, nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of other agreements in such indenture; failure to pay certain other indebtedness; failure to pay certain final judgments; failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. The USD Senior Notes were issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act and do not require disclosure of separate financial information for the guarantor subsidiaries. 3.5% Senior Notes On June 3, 2016, the Company issued €500,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.5% Senior Notes, with interest payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2024. The sale of the notes resulted in net proceeds of approximately €492,500 , which were used to help fund the acquisition of Champion Europe and Hanes Australasia. On or after March 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the 3.5% Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may also redeem all, but not less than all, of the notes upon the occurrence of certain changes in applicable tax law. The 3.5% Senior Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, subject to certain exceptions, by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s Euro Term Loan facility, which was paid in full in August 2016, under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. The indenture governing the 3.5% Senior Notes limits the ability of the Company and each of the guarantors of the Notes (including the Company) to incur certain liens, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets. The indenture also contains customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others, nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of other agreements in the indenture; failure to pay certain other indebtedness; certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; failure to pay certain final judgments; and failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable. The 3.5% Senior Notes were issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act and do not require disclosure of separate financial information for the guarantor subsidiaries. Senior Secured Credit Facility On April 29, 2015, the Company refinanced its senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) to extend the maturity date of the revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) to April 2020 and reduce the maximum borrowing capacity from $1,100,000 to $1,000,000 , re-price the Revolving Loan Facility at favorable rates, and add an additional $850,000 in term loan borrowings ( $425,000 for a new Term Loan A and $425,000 for a new Term Loan B). The Company incurred $10,900 in fees related to this refinancing. The proceeds of the Term Loan A and the Term Loan B were used to refinance existing revolving borrowings under the prior senior secured credit facility, pay fees and expenses in connection with the closing of the Senior Secured Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. Proceeds of the Revolving Loan Facility are used for general corporate purposes and working capital needs. On October 23, 2015, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facility to increase the principal amount of the Term Loan A by an additional $300,000 . The Company incurred $1,603 in fees related to this refinancing. All borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility must be repaid in full upon maturity. Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan A are repayable in equal quarterly installments in the following annual percentages, with the remainder of the outstanding principal to be repaid at maturity: year one, 5.0% ; year two, 7.5% ; years three and four, 10.0% ; and year five, 15.0% . Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan B are repayable in 0.25% quarterly installments, with the remainder of the outstanding principal to be repaid at maturity. If the Term Loan B is repriced or refinanced on or prior to the twelve month anniversary of its funding and as a result of such repricing or refinancing the effective interest rate of the Term Loan B decreases, the Company shall be required to pay a prepayment fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan B subject to such repricing or refinancing. A portion of the Revolving Loan Facility is available for the issuances of letters of credit and the making of swingline loans, and any such issuance of letters of credit or making of a swingline loan will reduce the amount available under the Revolving Loan Facility. At the Company’s option, it may add one or more term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the Revolving Loan Facility so long as certain conditions are satisfied, including, among others, that no default or event of default is in existence, that the Company is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants described below and that the Company’s senior secured leverage ratio is less than 3.00 to 1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had $5,914 of standby and trade letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility and $994,086 of borrowing availability. The Senior Secured Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries, with certain customary or agreed-upon exceptions for foreign subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries. The Company and each of the guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facility have granted the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility a valid and perfected first priority (subject to certain customary exceptions) lien and security interest in the following: • the equity interests of substantially all of the Company’s direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries (other than U.S. subsidiaries directly or indirectly owned by foreign subsidiaries) and 65% of the voting securities of certain first tier foreign subsidiaries; and • substantially all present and future property and assets, real and personal, tangible and intangible, of the Company and each guarantor, except for certain enumerated interests, and all proceeds and products of such property and assets. Additionally, the Euro Term Loan was guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s subsidiary MFB International Holdings S.à r.l.’s (“MFB International Holdings”) existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, with certain customary or agreed-upon exceptions for certain subsidiaries and secured by a pledge of 100% of the equity interests of MFB International Holdings and its direct subsidiaries, 100% of the equity interests owned by any subsidiary of MFB International Holdings that is domiciled in Luxembourg and substantially all present and future property and assets, real and personal, tangible and intangible, of each Luxembourg domiciled guarantor, except for certain enumerated interests, and all proceeds and products of such property and assets. The Term Loan A, the Term Loan B and the Company’s former Euro Term Loan require the Company and its subsidiary MFB International Holdings, as applicable, to prepay any outstanding Term Loans in connection with (i) the incurrence of certain indebtedness and (ii) non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions (including as a result of casualty or condemnation) that exceed certain thresholds in any period of twelve-consecutive months, with customary reinvestment provisions. The Term Loan B and the former Euro Term Loan also require the Company and MFB International Holdings, as applicable, to prepay any outstanding Term Loans under the Term Loan B and the former Euro Term Loan in connection with excess cash flow, which percentage will be based upon the Company’s leverage ratio during the relevant fiscal period. All such prepayments will be made on a pro rata basis under each of the applicable Term Loans that are subject to such prepayments. At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility, the Term Loan A and the Term Loan B bear interest based on the LIBOR rate or the “base rate” plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Revolving Loan Facility and the Term Loan A is determined by reference to a leverage-based pricing grid set forth in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, ranging from a maximum of 2.00% in the case of LIBOR-based loans and 1.00% in the case of Base Rate loans if the Company’s leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, and will step down in 0.25% increments to a minimum of 1.25% in the case of LIBOR-based loans and 0.25% in the case of Base Rate loans if the Company’s leverage ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00. The applicable margin under the Term Loan B is 2.50% in the case of LIBOR-based loans and 1.50% in the case of Base Rate loans. The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants. The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires that the Company maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total debt to EBITDA (earnings before income interest, income taxes, depreciation expense and amortization, as computed pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility), or leverage ratio. The interest coverage ratio covenant requires that the ratio of the Company’s EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters to its consolidated total interest expense for such period shall not be less than 3.0 0 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter. The leverage ratio covenant requires that the ratio of the Company’s total debt to EBITDA for the preceding four fiscal quarters will not be more than 4.0 0 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter provided that, following a permitted acquisition in which the consideration is at least $200,000 , such maximum leverage ratio covenant shall be increased to 4.5 0 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending in the succeeding 12-month period following such permitted acquisition. The method of calculating all of the components used in the covenants is included in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. In addition, the commitment fee for the unused portion of revolving loan commitments made by the Lenders is between 25 and 35 basis points based on the applicable commitment fee margin in effect from time to time. When the Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility) is greater than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, the commitment fee margin is 0.350% . When the Leverage Ratio is less than 4.00 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 3.25 to 1.00, the applicable commitment fee margin is 0.300% . When the Leverage Ratio is less than 3.25 to 1.00, the applicable commitment fee margin is 0.250% . The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal when due; nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts after stated grace period; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; any cross-default to material indebtedness; certain material judgments; certain events related to the ERISA, actual or asserted invalidity of any guarantee, security document or subordination provision or non-perfection of security interest, and a change in control (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility). As of December 31, 2016 the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. 6.375% Senior Notes On November 9, 2010, the Company issued $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% Senior Notes. The 6.375% Senior Notes were senior unsecured obligations that ranked equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness. The 6.375% Senior Notes bore interest at an annual rate equal to 6.375% . Interest was payable on the 6.375% Senior Notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 6.375% Senior Notes were scheduled to mature on December 15, 2020 . The net proceeds from the sale of the 6.375% Senior Notes were approximately $979,000 . The net proceeds were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under another loan facility, reduce the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan Facility and to pay fees and expenses relating to these transactions. The 6.375% Senior Notes were guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The indenture governing the 6.375% Senior Notes contained customary events of default which included (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others, nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of other agreements in such indenture; failure to pay certain other indebtedness; failure to pay certain final judgments; failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. During 2016, the Company redeemed these notes in full. Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility The Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility provides for up to $275,000 in funding accounted for as a secured borrowing, limited to the availability of eligible receivables, and is secured by certain domestic trade receivables. Under the terms of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, certain domestic trade receivables to HBI Receivables LLC (“Receivables LLC”), a wholly owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary that in turn uses the trade receivables to secure the borrowings, which are funded through conduits and financial institutions that are not affiliated with the Company. The commitments of any conduits party to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility are funded through the issuance of commercial paper in the short-term market or through committed bank purchasers if the conduits fail to fund. The assets and liabilities of Receivables LLC are fully reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the securitization is treated as a secured borrowing for accounting purposes, but the assets of Receivables LLC will be used first to satisfy the creditors of Receivables LLC, not the Company’s creditors. The borrowings under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility remain outstanding throughout the term of the agreement subject to the Company maintaining sufficient eligible receivables, by continuing to sell trade receivables to Receivables LLC, unless an event of default occurs. In March 2016, the Company amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility to extend the termination date to March 2017 and changed the borrowing capacity from a fixed capacity to a varying limit throughout the year, in order to minimize fees for the Company’s unused portion of the facility. Availability of funding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility depends primarily upon the eligible outstanding receivables balance. The outstanding balance under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in the line “Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility.” In the case of any creditors party to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility that are conduits, unless the conduits fail to fund, the yield on the commercial paper, which is the conduits’ cost to issue the commercial paper plus certain dealer fees, is considered a financing cost and is included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income. If the conduits fail to fund, the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility would be funded through committed bank purchasers, and the interest rate would be payable at the Company’s option at the rate announced from time to time by HSBC Bank USA, N.A. as its prime rate or at the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility) plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time. In the case of borrowings from any other creditors party to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility that are not conduits or their related committed bank purchasers, the interest rate is payable at the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility) or, if this rate is unavailable or otherwise does not accurately reflect the costs to these creditors related to the borrowings, the prime rate. These amounts are also considered financing costs and are included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income. In addition, HBI Receivables LLC is required to make certain payments to a conduit purchaser, a committed purchaser, or certain entities that provide funding to or are affiliated with them, in the event that assets and liabilities of a conduit purchaser are consolidated for financial and/or regulatory accounting purposes with certain other entities. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility contains customary events of default and requires the Company to maintain the same interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio contained from time to time in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, provided that any changes to such covenants will only be applicable for purposes of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility if approved by the Managing Agents or their affiliates. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. The total amount of receivables used as collateral for the credit facility was $353,361 at December 31, 2016 and is reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in “Trade accounts receivable, net.” Australian Term A-1, Australian Term A-2, and Australian Revolver On July 4, 2016, the Company established a floating rate AUD$ 200,000 Australian Term A-1 Loan Facility (the “Australian Term A-1”) with interest payable every three or six months. At December 31, 2016, the effective interest rate on the Australian Term A-1 was 3.28% . The Australian Term A-1 matures on July 7, 2019. In addition, on July 4, 2016 the Company established a floating rate AUD$ 200,000 Australian Term A-2 Loan Facility (the “Australian Term A-2”) with interest payable every three or six months. At December 31, 2016, the effective interest rate on the Australian Term A-2 was 3.58% . The Australian Term A-2 matures on July 7, 2021. On July 15, 2016 the Company established the Australian Revolving Facility (the “Australian Revolver”) in the amount of AUD$ 65,000 with interest payable at a variable rate. The Australian Revolver will mature on July 15, 2021. The Australian Term A-1, Australian Term A-2 and Australian Revolver interest rates are based on the Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (“BBSY”) plus an applicable margin which is driven by the Company’s debt rating. The Australian Term A-1 and the Australian Term A-2 were issued to help fund the Hanes Australasia acquisition while the Revolver will be utilized for future working capital requirements. The Australian Term A-1, Australian Term A-2, and Australian Revolver were established under the Company’s Syndicated Facility, a joinder to the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Syndicated Facility Agreement requires the Company to prepay any outstanding Term Loans in connection with (i) the incurrence of certain indebtedness and (ii) non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions (including as a result of casualty or condemnation) that exceed certain thresholds in any period of twelve-consecutive months, with customary reinvestment provisions. The Syndicated Facility Agreement also requires the Company, and certain of its subsidiary guarantors, as applicable, to prepay any outstanding Term Loans in connection with excess cash flow, which amount will be based upon the Company’s leverage ratio during the relevant fiscal period. All such prepayments will be made on a pro rata basis under each of the applicable Term Loan Facilities that are subject to such prepayments. Under the terms of the Syndicated Facility Agreement, the Company must maintain at least a 4 :1 total debt to EBITDA ratio, provided that, following an acquisition of over $200,000 , the maximum leverage multiple shall be increased to 4.5 :1 for each quarter in the following 12-month period, and a minimum 3 :1 EBITDA to interest expense ratio. There was not a balance on the Australian Revolving Loan Facility at December 31, 2016 , however the Company had $5,000 of letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Australian Revolving Loan Facility and $41,652 of borrowing availability. European Revolving Loan Facility On September 9, 2016, the Company established a €100,000 European Revolving Loan Facility. Proceeds from the European Revolving Loan Facility were used to refinance existing debt for Hanes Europe Innerwear and will be used for future working capital requirements. The maturity date of the European Revolving Loan Facility is September 9, 2017. The Company may from time to time voluntarily prepay the European Revolving Loan Facility in whole or in part without a premium or penalty provided that among other items, principal payments be made in amounts of €5,000 or in whole multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof. Any prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid. Interest under the European Revolving Credit Facility is calculated using LIBOR for Euro with a zero floor plus a 150 basis point margin. Interest is based on the outstanding principal amount for each interest period from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such interest period plus the applicable rate. Future Principal Payments Future principal payments for all of the facilities described above are as follows: $178,364 due in 2017 , $112,890 due in 2018 , $243,231 due in 2019 , $415,313 due in 2020 , $143,544 due in 2021 and $2,639,241 due in 2022 and thereafter. Debt Issuance Costs During 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred $45,065 , $12,793 and $5,560 , respectively, in capitalized debt issuance costs in connection with the amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, issuance of new Senior Notes, the Australian Revolving Loan Facility, the European Revolving Loan Facility and the Australian Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the respective lives of the debt instruments, which range from one to 10 years. As of December 31, 2016 , the net carrying value of unamortized debt issuance costs which is included in “Other Noncurrent Assets” for the revolving loan facilities was $9,742 and the net carrying value of unamortized debt issuance costs which is included in “Long-term debt” for the remainder of the Company’s debt was $46,534 in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s debt issuance cost amortization was $9,034 , $7,077 and $6,011 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company recognizes charges in the “Other expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income for fees incurred in financing transactions such as refinancing and amendments and for write-offs incurred in the early extinguishment of debt. In 2016, the Company recognized charges of $873 for acceleration of unamortized debt costs related to the Euro Term Loan, which was paid in full in August 2016. In 2016, the Company recognized charges of $47,291 for the call premium and acceleration of unamortized debt costs related to the redemption of the 6.375% Senior Notes.

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company is a party to various pending legal proceedings, claims and environmental actions by government agencies. In accordance with the accounting rules for contingencies, the Company records a provision with respect to a claim, suit, investigation or proceeding when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can reasonably be estimated. Any provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the impact and status of settlements, rulings, advice of counsel and other information pertinent to the particular matter. The recorded liabilities for these items were not material to the consolidated financial statements of the Company in any of the years presented. Although the outcome of such items cannot be determined with certainty, the Company’s legal counsel and management are of the opinion that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Purchase Commitments In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into purchase commitments for raw materials, production and finished goods. These agreements, typically with terms ending within a year, require total payments of $349,565 in 2017 and $2,805 in 2018 and $0 thereafter. Operating Leases The Company leases certain buildings and equipment under agreements that are classified as operating leases. Rental expense under operating leases was $132,128 , $103,621 and $89,569 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) are as follows: $130,971 in 2017 , $117,269 in 2018 , $93,537 in 2019 , $66,570 in 2020 , $45,723 in 2021 and $107,618 thereafter. License Agreements The Company is party to several royalty-bearing license agreements for the use of third party trademarks in certain of their products. The license agreements typically require a minimum guarantee to be paid either at the commencement of the agreement, by a designated date during the term of the agreement or by the end of the agreement period. When payments are made in advance of when they are due, the Company records a prepayment and amortizes the expense in the “Cost of sales” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income uniformly over the guaranteed period. For guarantees required to be paid at the completion of the agreement, royalties are expensed through “Cost of sales” as the related sales are made. Management has reviewed all license agreements and has concluded that there are no liabilities recorded at inception of the agreements. During 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company incurred royalty expense of approximately $95,650 , $84,733 and $57,072 , respectively. Minimum amounts due under the license agreements are approximately $29,081 in 2017 , $46,733 in 2018 , $49,365 in 2019 , $44,696 in 2020 and $1,050 in 2021 . In addition to the minimum guaranteed amounts under license agreements, the Company is a party to a partnership agreement that includes a minimum fee of $5,645 for each year ending in 2017 .

Financial Instruments and Risk Management	Financial Instruments and Risk Management The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates. As of December 31, 2016 , the notional U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell foreign currencies within the Company’s derivative portfolio were $451,355 , consisting of contracts hedging primarily exposures to the Euro, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, New Zealand dollar and Brazilian real. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company did not have any commitments to purchase foreign currencies within the Company’s derivative portfolio. As of January 2, 2016 , the notional U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell and purchase foreign currencies within the Company’s derivative portfolio were $265,136 and $6,099 consisting of contracts hedging primarily exposures to the Euro, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Mexican peso, Japanese yen, Brazilian real and South African rand. Fair Values of Derivative Instruments The fair values of derivative financial instruments related to forward foreign exchange contracts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company were as follows: Fair Value Balance Sheet Location December 31, January 2, Hedges Other current assets $ 16,729 $ 3,700 Non-hedges Other current assets 4,363 1,514 Total derivative assets $ 21,092 $ 5,214 Hedges Accrued liabilities $ (207 ) $ (330 ) Non-hedges Accrued liabilities (172 ) (775 ) Total derivative liabilities $ (379 ) $ (1,105 ) Net derivative asset $ 20,713 $ 4,109 Cash Flow Hedges The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies on short-term foreign currency-denominated transactions, foreign currency-denominated investments, and other known foreign currency exposures. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset losses and gains on the hedged transaction in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. The Company expects to reclassify into earnings during the next 12 months a net gain from AOCI of approximately $15,655 . The changes in fair value of derivatives excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives used as cash flow hedges are reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The effect of cash flow hedge derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss is as follows: Amount of Gain Recognized in December 31, January 2, January 3, Foreign exchange contracts 10,995 13,423 3,905 Location of Gain Reclassified from Amount of Gain Reclassified from December 31, January 2, January 3, Foreign exchange contracts Cost of sales 3,966 11,968 1,113 Derivative Contracts Not Designated As Hedges The Company uses foreign exchange derivative contracts as economic hedges against the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on anticipated intercompany purchase and lending transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Gains or losses on these contracts largely offset the net remeasurement gains or losses on the related assets and liabilities. The effect of derivative contracts not designated as hedges on the Consolidated Statements of Income is as follows: Location of Gain (Loss) Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in December 31, January 2, January 3, 2015 Foreign exchange contracts Selling, general and $ 12,222 $ (9,271 ) $ (1,188 )

Fair Value of Assets and Liabil

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities	12 Months Ended

Text Block [Abstract]
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities	Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Fair value is an exit price, representing 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. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, is utilized for disclosing the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques: • Market approach — prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. • Cost approach — amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost. • Income approach — techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations, including present value techniques, option-pricing and other models. The Company primarily applies the market approach for commodity derivatives and for all defined benefit plan investment assets and the income approach for interest rate and foreign currency derivatives for recurring fair value measurements and attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The determination of fair values incorporates various factors that include not only the credit standing of the counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements, but also the impact of the Company’s nonperformance risk on its liabilities. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. As of December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , the Company held certain financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These consisted of the Company’s derivative instruments related to foreign exchange rates, defined benefit pension plan investment assets, deferred compensation plan liabilities and contingent consideration resulting from the Champion Europe acquisition. The fair values of foreign exchange rate derivatives are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets and are categorized as Level 2. The fair value of deferred compensation plans is based on readily available current market data and is categorized as Level 2. The fair value of the contingent consideration obligation is determined by applying an option pricing model using Champion Europe’s expected EBITDA for calendar year 2016, as further described in Note, “Acquisitions,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and is categorized as Level 3. The contingent consideration obligation is required to be revalued each reporting period until the related contingencies are resolved, with any adjustments to the fair value recognized in earnings. The fair values of defined benefit pension plan investments include: certain U.S. equity securities, certain foreign equity securities and debt securities that are determined based on quoted prices in public markets categorized as Level 1, certain foreign equity securities, certain U.S. equity securities, debt securities, insurance contracts and commodity investments that are determined based on inputs readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets categorized as Level 2 and investments in hedge funds of funds and real estate investments that are based on unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists and are measured at a net asset value are not required to be classified within the fair value hierarchy. There were no changes during 2016 to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

The fair value amounts presented in the tables above are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets. (2) The fair value of the Champion Europe contingent consideration has not changed since the date of acquisition, other than from the foreign exchange translation impact between periods.

The fair value amounts presented in the tables above are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, notes receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 . The fair value of debt, which is classified as a Level 2 liability, was $3,729,270 and $2,537,640 as of December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 and had a carrying value of $3,732,583 and $2,506,981 , respectively. In the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted new accounting rules, which require debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The carrying value of debt reflected on the face of the balance sheet reflects the adoption of the new accounting rules. However, the carrying value of debt reflected in this footnote disclosure reflects the gross amount owed to creditors. The fair values were estimated using quoted market prices as provided in secondary markets, which consider the Company’s credit risk and market related conditions. The carrying amounts of the Company’s notes payable, which is classified as a Level 2 liability, approximated fair value as of December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans	Defined Benefit Pension Plans At December 31, 2016 , the Company’s pension plans consisted of the Hanesbrands Inc. Pension Plan, various nonqualified retirement plans and international plans, which include certain defined benefit plans acquired in connection with the purchases of Hanes Europe Innerwear and Hanes Australasia. Benefits under the Hanesbrands Inc. Pension Plan were frozen effective December 31, 2005. The components of net periodic benefit cost and other amounts recognized in other comprehensive income of the Company’s noncontributory defined benefit pension plans were as follows: Years Ended December 31, January 2, January 3, Service cost $ 1,856 $ 2,478 $ 1,903 Interest cost 42,061 49,202 48,768 Expected return on assets (47,621 ) (55,127 ) (52,515 ) Curtailments (489 ) — — Settlement cost 115 25 130 Amortization of: Prior service cost 9 22 40 Net actuarial loss 17,052 14,551 10,377 Net periodic benefit cost $ 12,983 $ 11,151 $ 8,703 Other Changes in Plan Assets and Benefit Obligations Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income Net loss $ 41,921 $ 3,813 $ 206,756 Prior service credit (cost) (9 ) 22 (40 ) Total loss recognized in other comprehensive income 41,912 3,835 206,716 Total recognized in net periodic benefit cost and other comprehensive income $ 54,895 $ 14,986 $ 215,419 The estimated net loss and prior service cost for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from AOCI into net periodic benefit cost in 2017 are $19,028 and $9 , respectively. The funded status of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans at the respective year ends was as follows: December 31, January 2, Benefit obligation: Beginning of year $ 1,172,267 $ 1,255,216 Service cost 1,856 2,478 Interest cost 42,061 49,202 Benefits paid (56,576 ) (55,019 ) Curtailments (1,053 ) — Settlements (2,360 ) (1,147 ) Impact of exchange rate change (1,976 ) (11,468 ) Business combination 4,547 — Actuarial loss (gain) 36,671 (66,995 ) Other 1,752 — End of year 1,197,189 1,172,267 Fair value of plan assets: Beginning of year 809,217 787,998 Actual return on plan assets 24,758 (24,496 ) Employer contributions 47,203 106,693 Benefits paid (56,576 ) (55,019 ) Settlements (2,360 ) (1,147 ) Business combination 4,776 — Impact of exchange rate change 178 (4,812 ) Other (27 ) — End of year 827,169 809,217 Funded status $ (370,020 ) $ (363,050 ) As most of the Company’s pension plans are frozen, the accumulated benefit obligation (“ABO”) approximates the benefit obligation. The total benefit obligation and the benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for the Company’s pension plans with benefit obligations in excess of plan assets are as follows: December 31, January 2, Benefit obligation $ 1,197,189 $ 1,172,267 Plans with benefit obligation in excess of plan assets: Benefit obligation 1,167,871 1,147,028 Fair value of plan assets 799,191 784,681 Amounts recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of: December 31, January 2, Current liabilities $ (3,605 ) $ (6,262 ) Noncurrent liabilities (366,822 ) (356,788 ) Accumulated other comprehensive loss (603,610 ) (561,699 ) Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss consist of: December 31, January 2, Prior service cost $ 216 $ 226 Actuarial loss 603,394 561,473 $ 603,610 $ 561,699 Accrued benefit costs related to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans are reported in the “Accrued liabilities — Payroll and employee benefits” and “Pension and postretirement benefits” lines of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. (a) Measurement Date and Assumptions A December 31 measurement date is used to value plan assets and obligations for the pension plans. In determining the discount rate in the prior years, the Company utilized, as a general benchmark, the single discount rate equivalent to discount the expected cash flows from each plan using the yields at each duration from a published yield curve as of the measurement date. Beginning in 2016, the Company changed the method utilized to estimate primarily the interest cost component of net periodic benefit costs for the Company’s U.S. defined benefit plans from using a single discount rate as discussed above. The Company elected to use a full yield curve approach in the estimation of the interest component of benefit costs by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligations to the relevant projected cash flows. The Company made this change to improve the correlation between projected benefit cash flows and the corresponding yield curve spot rates and to provide a more precise measurement of interest costs. This change will not affect the measurement of the total benefit obligations as the change in interest costs is completely offset by the actuarial gain or loss reported. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was based on the Company’s investment policy target allocation of the asset portfolio between various asset classes and the expected real returns of each asset class over various periods of time. The weighted average actuarial assumptions used in measuring the net periodic benefit cost and plan obligations for the periods presented were as follows: December 31, January 2, January 3, Net periodic benefit cost: Discount rate 4.43 % 4.43 % 4.96 % Long-term rate of return on plan assets 5.80 5.61 6.90 Rate of compensation increase (1) 3.51 3.51 3.74 Plan obligations: Discount rate 4.15 % 4.04 % 4.04 % Rate of compensation increase (1) 3.84 3.51 3.50 (1) The compensation increase assumption applies to the international plans and portions of the nonqualified retirement plans, as benefits under these plans were not frozen at December 31, 2016 , January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015 . (b) Plan Assets, Expected Benefit Payments, and Funding The allocation of pension plan assets as of the respective period end measurement dates is as follows: December 31, January 2, Asset category: Hedge fund of funds 39 % 41 % U.S. equity securities 20 17 Foreign equity securities 15 15 Debt securities 17 18 Real estate 5 5 Commodities 2 2 Insurance contracts 1 1 Cash and other 1 1 The Company’s asset strategy and primary investment objective are to maximize the principal value of the plan assets to meet current and future benefit obligations to plan participants and their beneficiaries. To accomplish this goal, the assets of the plan are broadly diversified to protect against large investment losses and to reduce the likelihood of excessive volatility of returns. Diversification of assets is achieved through strategic allocations to various asset classes, as well as various investment styles within these asset classes, and by retaining multiple, third party investment management firms with complementary investment styles and philosophies to implement these allocations. The Company has established a target asset allocation based upon analysis of risk/return tradeoffs and correlations of asset mixes given long-term historical data, prospective capital market returns and forecasted liabilities of the plans. The target asset allocation approximates the actual asset allocation as of December 31, 2016 . In addition to volatility protection, diversification enables the assets of the plan the best opportunity to provide adequate returns in order to meet the Company’s investment return objectives. These objectives include, over a rolling 5 -year period, to achieve a total return that exceeds the required actuarial rate of return for the plan and to outperform a passive portfolio, consisting of a similar asset allocation. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the pension plan assets. At December 31, 2016 , the Company had $232,575 classified as Level 1 assets, $225,427 classified as Level 2 assets and no assets classified as Level 3. At January 2, 2016 , the Company had $ 167,069 classified as Level 1 assets, $ 260,323 classified as Level 2 assets and no assets classified as Level 3. The Level 1 assets consisted primarily of certain U.S. equity securities, certain debt securities, certain foreign equity securities and cash and cash equivalents, Level 2 assets consisted primarily of certain debt securities, certain U.S. equity securities, commodity investments, insurance contracts and certain foreign equity securities. Investments in hedge funds of funds and real estate investments that are based on unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists and are measured at a net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient shall not be categorized within the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note, “Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities,” for the Company’s complete disclosure of the fair value of pension plan assets. Expected benefit payments are as follows: $59,735 in 2017 , $61,466 in 2018 , $65,172 in 2019 , $66,020 in 2020 , $71,575 in 2021 and $363,085 thereafter. (c) Nonretirement Postemployment Benefit Plans Certain of the international plans, specifically those acquired in connection with the purchases of Hanes Europe Innerwear and Champion Europe, are in substance nonretirement postemployment benefit plans, which are future liabilities funded through future operational results of the Company. However, for purposes of consolidation, the Company is including these plans within the defined benefit reporting. At December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , the total amounts accrued for these plans were $48,330 and $49,646 , respectively and the total gain for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $1,824 , while the total expense at January 2, 2016 was $499 .

Income Taxes	Income Taxes The provision for income tax computed by applying the U.S. statutory rate to income before taxes as reconciled to the actual provisions were: Years Ended December 31, January 2, January 3, Income before income tax expense: Domestic (10.2 )% 5.6 % 13.6 % Foreign 110.2 94.4 86.4 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Tax expense at U.S. statutory rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % State income tax (0.7 ) 1.1 0.6 Tax on remittance of foreign earnings 9.9 9.1 0.8 Foreign taxes less than U.S. statutory rate (38.5 ) (30.8 ) (24.0 ) Employee benefits (0.7 ) 0.4 0.5 Change in valuation allowance 1.2 2.6 2.1 Release of unrecognized tax benefit reserves (0.4 ) (9.8 ) (1.7 ) State tax rate change 0.6 2.3 — Other, net (0.4 ) (0.4 ) (0.3 ) Taxes at effective worldwide tax rates 6.0 % 9.5 % 13.0 % The Company has been granted income tax rates lower than statutory rates in two foreign jurisdictions through 2019. These lower rates, when compared with the countries’ statutory rates, resulted in an income tax reduction of approximately $1,300 (negligible impact per diluted share) in 2016, $2,200 ($0.01 per diluted share) in 2015 and $5,000 ($0.01 per diluted share) in 2014. Current and deferred tax provisions (benefits) were: Current Deferred Total Year ended December 31, 2016 Domestic $ 2,768 $ 34,590 $ 37,358 Foreign 38,257 (34,232 ) 4,025 State 2,083 (9,194 ) (7,111 ) $ 43,108 $ (8,836 ) $ 34,272 Year ended January 2, 2016 Domestic $ (2,294 ) $ 9,437 $ 7,143 Foreign 32,067 (10,235 ) 21,832 State 4,395 11,648 16,043 $ 34,168 $ 10,850 $ 45,018 Year ended January 3, 2015 Domestic $ 41,608 $ (10,517 ) $ 31,067 Foreign 24,290 3,663 27,977 State 6,951 (5,546 ) 1,405 $ 72,849 $ (12,400 ) $ 60,449 Years Ended December 31, January 2, January 3, Cash payments for income taxes $ 39,655 $ 23,045 $ 19,126 Cash payments above represent cash tax payments made by the Company primarily in foreign jurisdictions. The deferred tax assets and liabilities at the respective year-ends were as follows: December 31, January 2, Deferred tax assets: Nondeductible reserves $ 1,962 $ 7,267 Inventories 123,507 112,286 Property and equipment 3,322 — Bad debt allowance 6,965 7,600 Accrued expenses 20,351 17,068 Employee benefits 181,148 176,307 Tax credits 22,567 34,051 Net operating loss and other tax carryforwards 124,052 94,975 Other 20,355 13,372 Gross deferred tax assets 504,229 462,926 Less valuation allowances (67,451 ) (61,358 ) Deferred tax assets 436,778 401,568 Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment — 439 Derivatives 5,103 3,612 Intangibles 12,226 17,751 Prepaids 5,728 5,316 Deferred tax liabilities 23,057 27,118 Net deferred tax assets $ 413,721 $ 374,450 In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances. The changes in the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets are as follows: Balance at December 28, 2013 $ 32,131 Charge to expenses 9,741 Charged to other accounts (1) 1,885 Balance at January 3, 2015 $ 43,757 Charge to expenses 12,224 Charged to other accounts (1) 5,377 Balance at January 2, 2016 $ 61,358 Charge to expenses 6,859 Charged to other accounts (1) (766 ) Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 67,451 (1) Charges to other accounts include the effects of foreign currency translation and purchase accounting adjustments. As of December 31, 2016 , the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $67,451 , made up of $45,350 for foreign loss carryforwards, $6,466 for other foreign deferred tax assets, $15,635 for federal and state operating loss carryforwards and other federal deferred tax assets. The net change in the total valuation allowance for 2016 was $6,093 related to an increase of $3,069 for foreign loss carryforwards and other foreign deferred tax assets and $3,024 for federal and state operating loss carryforwards and other domestic deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2016 , the Company has total net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $292,708 for foreign jurisdictions, which will expire as follows: Fiscal Year: 2017 $ 28,455 2018 16,069 2019 32,757 2020 31,012 2021 19,419 Thereafter 164,996 At December 31, 2016 , the Company had tax credit carryforwards totaling $22,567 , which expire beginning after 2020 . At December 31, 2016 , the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,769 and $673,488 , respectively, which expire beginning after 2018 . At December 31, 2016 , applicable U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on the accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are expected to be permanently reinvested. If these earnings had not been permanently reinvested, deferred taxes of approximately $929,000 would have been recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. In 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized a benefit related to the realization of unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitations of $4,146 and $3,587 , respectively. Although it is not reasonably possible to estimate the amount by which unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease within the next 12 months due to uncertainties regarding the timing of examinations and the amount of settlements that may be paid, if any, to tax authorities, the Company currently expects a reduction of approximately $8,081 for unrecognized tax benefits accrued at December 31, 2016 within the next 12 months. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: Balance at January 3, 2015 (gross balance of $66,207) $ 63,110 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 2,732 Additions for tax positions of prior years 49 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (46,111 ) Balance at January 2, 2016 (gross balance of $20,085) $ 19,780 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 4,648 Additions for tax positions of prior years 106 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (4,838 ) Balance at December 31, 2016 (gross balance of $20,688) $ 19,696 At December 31, 2016 , the balance of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, which would, if recognized, affect the Company’s annual effective tax rate was $19,696 . The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company recognized $549 in 2016 for interest and penalties classified as income tax expense and $3,669 and $636 , respectively in 2015 and 2014 , for interest and penalties classified as income tax benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Income. At December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , the Company had a total of $3,251 and $2,702 , respectively, of interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as separate and combined income tax returns in numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. In the United States, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) began an examination of the Company’s 2011 tax year during the fourth quarter of 2013 and of the Company’s 2012 tax year during the third quarter of 2014, both of which were completed during the third quarter of 2015. As a result in 2015, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $56,427 due to the remeasurement of certain unrecognized tax benefits. The Company is also subject to examination by various state and international tax authorities. The tax years subject to examination vary by jurisdiction. The Company regularly assesses the outcomes of both ongoing and future examinations for the current or prior years to ensure the Company’s provision for income taxes is sufficient. The Company recognizes liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due and believes its reserves are adequate in relation to any potential assessments. The outcome of any one examination, some of which may conclude during the next 12 months, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Stockholders' Equity	Stockholders’ Equity The Company is authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and up to 50,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, and the Company’s Board of Directors may, without stockholder approval, increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the Company is authorized to issue. At December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 , 378,687 and 391,653 shares, respectively, of common stock were issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding. On April 27, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program for up to 40,000 shares to be repurchased in open market transactions, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. The new program replaced the Company’s previous share repurchase program for up to 40,000 shares that was originally approved in 2007. Additionally, management has been granted authority to establish a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act in connection with share repurchases, which will allow the Company to repurchase shares in the open market during periods in which the stock trading window is otherwise closed for the Company and certain of the Company’s officers and employees pursuant to the Company’s insider trading policy. During 2016 , under the previous repurchase program, the Company purchased 14,243 shares of the Company’s common stock at a cost of $379,901 (average price of $26.65 ). During 2015, under the previous repurchase program, the Company purchased 12,148 shares of the Company’s common stock at a cost of $351,495 (average price of $28.91 ). The Company has not purchased any shares of the Company’s common stock under the new share repurchase program approved in 2016. The primary objective of the share repurchase program is to utilize excess cash to generate shareholder value. Preferred Stock Purchase Rights On October 27, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Rights Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to the original Rights Agreement dated as of September 1, 2006 and previously amended on March 26, 2015 (the “Rights Agreement”) between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent, one preferred stock purchase right (a “Right”) was distributed with and attached to each share of the Company’s common stock. Each Right entitled its holder, under certain circumstances, to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The Second Amendment accelerated the expiration of the Rights from September 1, 2016 to November 10, 2015 and had the effect of terminating the Rights Agreement on November 10, 2015. At the time of the termination of the Rights Agreement, all of the Rights distributed to holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Rights Agreement expired. In connection with the termination of the Rights Agreement, on November 10, 2015, the Company eliminated the Series A Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights and reclassified the Series A Preferred Stock as authorized but undesignated shares of the Company’s preferred stock. Dividends In 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized regular quarterly dividends of $0.075 per share, which were paid in 2014. In 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized regular quarterly dividends of $0.10 per share, which were paid in 2015. On March 3, 2015, the Company effected a four -for-one stock split in the form of a 300% stock dividend to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 9, 2015. In January 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the regular quarterly dividend rate to $0.11 per share on outstanding common stock. During the Company’s 2016 fiscal year, regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.11 per share were paid on March 8, 2016, June 7, 2016, September 7, 2016 and December 6, 2016. In January 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share on outstanding common stock to be paid on March 7, 2017 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 14, 2017.

Business Segment Information

Business Segment Information	12 Months Ended

Text Block [Abstract]
Business Segment Information	Business Segment Information The Company’s operations are managed and reported in four operating segments, each of which is a reportable segment for financial reporting purposes: Innerwear, Activewear, Direct to Consumer and International. These segments are organized principally by product category, geographic location and distribution channel. Each segment has its own management that is responsible for the operations of the segment’s businesses, but the segments share a common supply chain and media and marketing platforms. As a result of a shift in management responsibilities, the Company decided in the first quarter of 2016 to move its wholesale e-commerce business, which sells products directly to retailers, from its Direct to Consumer segment into the respective Innerwear and Activewear segments. Prior year segment sales and operating profit results have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. The types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues are as follows: • Innerwear sells basic branded products that are replenishment in nature under the product categories of men’s underwear, women’s panties, children’s underwear, socks, hosiery and intimate apparel, which includes bras and shapewear. • Activewear sells basic branded products that are primarily seasonal in nature under the product categories of branded printwear and retail activewear, as well as licensed logo apparel in collegiate bookstores, mass retail and other channels. • Direct to Consumer includes the Company’s value-based (“outlet”) stores and retail Internet operations that sell products from the Company’s portfolio of leading brands directly to consumers. • International primarily relates to the Europe, Australia, Asia, Latin America and Canada geographic locations that sell products that primarily span across the Innerwear and Activewear reportable segments. The Company evaluates the operating performance of its segments based upon segment operating profit, which is defined as operating profit before general corporate expenses and amortization of intangibles. The Company decided in the first quarter of 2016 to revise the manner in which the Company allocates certain selling, general and administrative expenses. Certain prior year segment operating profit disclosures have been revised to conform to current year presentation. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Years Ended December 31, January 2, January 3, Net sales: Innerwear $ 2,609,754 $ 2,680,981 $ 2,735,268 Activewear 1,570,972 1,576,724 1,423,068 Direct to Consumer 315,560 341,207 368,202 International 1,531,913 1,132,637 798,208 Total net sales $ 6,028,199 $ 5,731,549 $ 5,324,746 Years Ended December 31, January 2, January 3, Segment operating profit: Innerwear $ 588,265 $ 623,412 $ 579,882 Activewear 227,535 246,508 197,218 Direct to Consumer 5,564 15,859 28,468 International 179,917 105,515 92,496 Total segment operating profit 1,001,281 991,294 898,064 Items not included in segment operating profit: General corporate expenses (64,995 ) (106,379 ) (112,952 ) Acquisition, integration and other action related charges (138,519 ) (266,060 ) (198,933 ) Amortization of intangibles (22,118 ) (23,737 ) (22,225 ) Total operating profit 775,649 595,118 563,954 Other expenses (51,758 ) (3,210 ) (2,599 ) Interest expense, net (152,692 ) (118,035 ) (96,387 ) Income from continuing operations before income tax expense $ 571,199 $ 473,873 $ 464,968 For the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company incurred acquisition, integration and other action related charges of $185,810 , of which $39,379 is reported in the “Cost of sales” line, and $99,140 is reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line and $47,291 is reported in the “Other” line in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Summary of Significant Accoun31

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Text Block [Abstract]
Consolidation	Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, certain financial statement disclosures at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) within stockholders’ equity. The Company translates the results of operations of its foreign operations at the average exchange rates during the respective periods. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Sales Recognition and Incentives	Sales Recognition and Incentives The Company recognizes revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) title and the risks of ownership have been transferred to the customer and (iv) collection of the receivable is reasonably assured, which occurs primarily upon shipment. The Company records a sales reduction for returns and allowances based upon historical return experience. The Company earns royalty revenues through license agreements with manufacturers of other consumer products that incorporate certain of the Company’s brands. The Company accrues revenue earned under these contracts based upon reported sales from the licensee. The Company offers a variety of sales incentives to resellers and consumers of its products, and the policies regarding the recognition and display of these incentives within the Consolidated Statements of Income are as follows: Discounts, Coupons, and Rebates The Company recognizes the cost of these incentives at the later of the date at which the related sale is recognized or the date at which the incentive is offered. The cost of these incentives is estimated using a number of factors, including historical utilization and redemption rates. All cash incentives of this type are included in the determination of net sales. The Company includes incentives offered in the form of free products in the determination of cost of sales. Volume-Based Incentives These incentives typically involve rebates or refunds of cash that are redeemable only if the reseller completes a specified number of sales transactions. Under these incentive programs, the Company estimates the anticipated rebate to be paid and allocates a portion of the estimated cost of the rebate to each underlying sales transaction with the customer. The Company includes these amounts in the determination of net sales. Cooperative Advertising Under these arrangements, the Company agrees to reimburse the reseller for a portion of the costs incurred by the reseller to advertise and promote certain of the Company’s products. The Company recognizes the cost of cooperative advertising programs in the period in which the advertising and promotional activity first takes place. The Company includes these amounts in the determination of net sales. Fixtures and Racks Store fixtures and racks are periodically used by resellers to display Company products. The Company expenses the cost of these fixtures and racks in the period in which they are delivered to the resellers. The Company includes the costs of fixtures and racks incurred by resellers and charged back to the Company in the determination of net sales. Fixtures and racks purchased by the Company and provided to resellers are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Advertising Expense	Advertising Expense Advertising costs, which include the development and production of advertising materials and the communication of these materials through various forms of media, are expensed in the period the advertising first takes place. The Company recognized advertising expense in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” caption in the Consolidated Statements of Income of $168,701 , $181,956 and $183,333 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs	Shipping and Handling Costs Revenue received for shipping and handling costs is included in net sales and was $19,446 , $19,710 and $22,903 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Shipping costs, which comprise payments to third party shippers, and handling costs, which consist of warehousing costs in the Company’s various distribution facilities, were $324,845 , $332,678 and $295,280 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company recognizes shipping, handling and distribution costs in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Catalog Expenses	Catalog Expenses The Company incurs expenses for printing catalogs for products to aid in the Company’s sales efforts. The Company initially records these expenses as a prepaid item and charges it against selling, general and administrative expenses over time as the catalog is used. Expenses are recognized at a rate that approximates historical experience with regard to the timing and amount of sales attributable to a catalog distribution. The Company discontinued its’ catalog business during 2016.
Research and Development	Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Research and development includes expenditures for new product, technological improvements for existing products and process innovation, which primarily consist of salaries, consulting and supplies attributable to time spent on research and development activities. Additional costs include depreciation and maintenance for research and development equipment and facilities. Research and development expense was $70,096 , $62,324 and $63,268 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.
Defined Contribution Benefit Plans	Defined Contribution Benefit Plans The Company sponsors 401(k) plans as well as other defined contribution benefit plans. Expense for these plans was $26,434 , $21,972 and $22,898 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable Valuation	Accounts Receivable Valuation Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, aging of trade receivables, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information.
Inventory Valuation	Inventory Valuation Inventories are stated at the estimated lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out, or “FIFO,” method for inventories. Obsolete, damaged, and excess inventory is carried at the net realizable value, which is determined by assessing historical recovery rates, current market conditions and future marketing and sales plans. Rebates, discounts and other cash consideration received from a vendor related to inventory purchases are reflected as reductions in the cost of the related inventory item, and are therefore reflected in cost of sales when the related inventory item is sold.
Property	Property Property is stated at historical cost and depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from three to 15 years and buildings and building improvements over periods of up to 40 years. A change in the depreciable life is treated as a change in accounting estimate and the accelerated depreciation is accounted for in the period of change and future periods. Additions and improvements that substantially extend the useful life of a particular asset and interest costs incurred during the construction period of major properties are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or disposition of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Property is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. Such events include significant adverse changes in the business climate, several periods of operating or cash flow losses, forecasted continuing losses or a current expectation that an asset or an asset group will be disposed of before the end of its useful life. Recoverability of property is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value. When an impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used, the adjusted carrying amount of those assets is depreciated over its remaining useful life. Restoration of a previously recognized impairment loss is not permitted under U.S. GAAP.
Trademarks and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets	Trademarks and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets The primary identifiable intangible assets of the Company are trademarks, licensing agreements, customer and distributor relationships and computer software. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized and those with indefinite lives are not amortized. The estimated useful life of a finite-lived intangible asset is based upon a number of factors, including the effects of demand, competition, expected changes in distribution channels and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain future cash flows. Trademarks with finite lives are being amortized over periods ranging from seven to 20 years , license agreements are being amortized over periods ranging from three to 17 years , customer and distributor relationships are being amortized over periods ranging from two to 15 years and computer software and other intangibles are being amortized over periods ranging from one to seven years . Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used in evaluating elements of property. Identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually, as of the first day of the third fiscal quarter, and as triggering events occur. The impairment test for identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization consists of comparing the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying amount. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess. In assessing fair value, management relies on a number of factors to discount anticipated future cash flows including operating results, business plans and present value techniques. Rates used to discount cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of intangible asset impairment. The Company capitalizes internal software development costs incurred during the application development stage, which include the actual costs to purchase software from vendors and generally include personnel and related costs for employees who were directly associated with the enhancement and implementation of purchased computer software. Additions to computer software are included in purchases of property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill is the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. When a business combination is completed, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are assigned to the reporting unit or units of the Company given responsibility for managing, controlling and generating returns on these assets and liabilities. In many instances, all of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are assigned to a single reporting unit and in these cases all of the goodwill is assigned to the same reporting unit. In those situations in which the acquired assets and liabilities are allocated to more than one reporting unit, the goodwill to be assigned to each reporting unit is determined in a manner similar to how the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination is determined. Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events occur. The Company’s annual measurement date is the first day of the third fiscal quarter. In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, the Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units and compares it to the carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the next step of the process involves comparing the implied fair value to the carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to such excess. No impairment of goodwill was identified as a result of the testing conducted in 2016 . In estimating the fair values of the reporting units, management relies on a number of factors to discount anticipated future cash flows including operating results, business plans and present value techniques. Rates used to discount cash flows are dependent upon interest rates and the cost of capital at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.
Insurance Reserves	Insurance Reserves The Company is self-insured for property, workers’ compensation, medical and other casualty programs up to certain stop-loss limits. Undiscounted liabilities for self-insured exposures are accrued at the present value of the expected aggregate losses below those limits and are based on a number of assumptions, including historical trends, actuarial assumptions and economic conditions.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company established the Hanesbrands Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated), (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”) to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares and cash to its employees, non-employee directors and employees of its subsidiaries to promote the interests of the Company, incent performance and retention of employees. The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of those awards.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Given continuing losses in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates on a separate return basis, a valuation allowance has been established for the deferred tax assets in these specific locations. The Company periodically estimates the probable tax obligations using historical experience in tax jurisdictions and informed judgment. There are inherent uncertainties related to the interpretation of tax regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company transacts business. The judgments and estimates made at a point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits, as well as changes to, or further interpretations of, regulations. Income tax expense is adjusted in the period in which these events occur, and these adjustments are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. If such changes take place, there is a risk that the Company’s effective tax rate may increase or decrease in any period. A company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments The Company uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the Company’s exposure to these risks with the goal of reducing the risk or cost to the Company. Depending on the nature of the underlying risk being hedged, these financial instruments are either designated as cash flow hedges or are economic hedges against changes in the value of the hedged item and therefore not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivative contracts. On the date the derivative is entered into, the Company determines whether the derivative meets the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting treatment or whether the financial instrument is serving as an economic hedge against changes in the value of the hedged item and therefore is not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. The accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instrument depends on whether the derivative has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identifying the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivatives that are designated as hedges of specific assets, liabilities, firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, or if the anticipated transaction is no longer likely to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting, and any deferred gains or losses are recorded in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. Derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and classified as current or noncurrent based on the derivatives’ maturity dates. The fair value is based upon either market quotes for actively traded instruments or independent bids for nonexchange traded instruments. Cash flows hedges are classified in the same category as the item being hedged, and cash flows from derivative contracts not designated as hedges are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company may be exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by individual counterparties or the entire group of counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts. Risk of nonperformance by counterparties is mitigated by dealing with highly rated counterparties and by diversifying across counterparties. Cash Flow Hedges The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the hedged item affects the income statement, the gain or loss included in AOCI is reported on the same line in the Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged item. In addition, both the fair value of changes excluded from the Company’s effectiveness assessments and the ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives used as cash flow hedges are reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges For derivative contracts not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are reported in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. These contracts are recorded at fair value when the hedged item is recorded as an asset or liability and then are revalued each accounting period.
Assets and Liabilities Acquired in Business Combinations	Assets and Liabilities Acquired in Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method, which requires the Company to allocate the cost of an acquired business to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognizes the excess of an acquired business’ cost over the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as goodwill. Fair values are determined using the income approach based on market participant assumptions focusing on future cash flow projections and accepted industry standards.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Going Concern In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)”, which requires an evaluation every reporting period, including interim periods, of whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and provide certain footnote disclosures depending on the result of such evaluation. The new rule was effective for the Company in the fourth quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Debt Issuance Costs In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest”, which require debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The impact of adopting the new accounting guidance on classification of debt issuance costs on the Company’s 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheet is a reduction in noncurrent assets and long-term debt of $21,450 . In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements”. The guidance clarifies accounting for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The standard states that the FASB deems deferring debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as an asset and amortizing over the term of the agreement to be appropriate, which is consistent with the Company’s existing accounting treatment for these costs. Cloud Computing In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”. The guidance provides clarification on whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a software license is included, the customer should account for the license consistent with its accounting for other software licenses. If a software license is not included, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Fair Value Measurement In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)”, which removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient, and requires separate disclosure of those investments instead. These disclosures were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, however management adopted the related applicable disclosures. Refer to Note, “Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities”. Measurement Period Adjustments In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805)”, which simplify the accounting for measurement period adjustments by eliminating the requirements to restate prior period financial statements for these adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The new standard, which should be applied prospectively to measurement period adjustments that occur after the effective date, was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Stock Compensation In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which requires all excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized in income as they occur. The new guidance also changes the cash flow presentation of excess tax benefits, classifying them as operating inflows or outflows. The new rules are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. The Company elected to early adopt in the second quarter of 2016, with a retrospective effective date of January 3, 2016. Periods prior to 2016 were not restated for the adoption of this accounting standard as the Company has adopted this standard on a prospective basis beginning January 3, 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Consolidation In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810)”, an update to their existing consolidation model, which changes the analysis a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The new rules were effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”, which require inventory to be recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new accounting rules to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Revenue from Contracts with Customers In August 2015, the FASB decided to delay effective dates for the new accounting rules related to revenue recognition for contracts with customers by one year. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Principal versus Agent Considerations)”, which clarifies revenue recognition when an agent, along with the entity, is involved in providing a good or service to the customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing)”, which clarifies the principle for determining whether a good or service is “separately identifiable” and, therefore, should be accounted for separately. In May 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients)”, which clarifies the objective of the collectability criterion.
