SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Description of Business — PVH Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) constitute a global apparel company whose brand portfolio consists of nationally and internationally recognized brand names, including Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga and Eagle, which are owned, and Speedo, Geoffrey Beene, Kenneth Cole New York, Kenneth Cole Reaction, Sean John, MICHAEL Michael Kors, Michael Kors Collection, Chaps, Donald J. Trump Signature Collection, DKNY, Elie Tahari, Nautica, Ted Baker, J. Garcia, Claiborne, Robert Graham, U.S. POLO ASSN., Ike Behar, Axcess, Jones New York and John Varvatos, which are licensed, as well as various other licensed and private label brands. In addition, through the end of the third quarter of 2013, the Company owned, and operated businesses under, the G.H. Bass & Co. and Bass trademarks. The Company designs and markets branded dress shirts, neckwear, sportswear, jeanswear, intimate apparel, swim products and, to a lesser extent, handbags, footwear and other related products and licenses its owned brands over a broad range of products.
	Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities that the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s Consolidated Income Statements include its proportionate share of the net income or loss of these entities. Please see Note 5, “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates,” for a further discussion. As a result of the acquisition of The Warnaco Group, Inc. (“Warnaco”), the Company owns a majority interest in a joint venture in India that, as of February 2, 2014, was consolidated and accounted for as a redeemable non-controlling interest. Please see Note 6, “Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest,” for a further discussion. The redeemable non-controlling interest represents the minority shareholders’ proportionate share (49%) of the equity in that entity.
	Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates.
	Fiscal Year — The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to February 1. References to a year are to the Company’s fiscal year, unless the context requires otherwise. Results for 2013, 2012 and 2011 represent the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2014, 53 weeks ended February 3, 2013 and 52 weeks ended January 29, 2012, respectively.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company’s balances of cash and cash equivalents at February 2, 2014 consisted principally of bank deposits and investments in money market funds.
	Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable, as presented on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, is net of allowances. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined through an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable and assessments of collectibility based on historic trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers and an evaluation of economic conditions. The Company writes off uncollectible trade receivables once collection efforts have been exhausted and third parties confirm the balance is not recoverable. Costs associated with allowable customer markdowns and operational chargebacks, net of the expected recoveries, are part of the provision for allowances included in accounts receivable. These provisions result from seasonal negotiations, as well as historic deduction trends net of expected recoveries, and the evaluation of current market conditions.
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill annually, at the beginning of the third quarter of each fiscal year, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that fair value of the reporting unit may have been reduced below its carrying amount. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets, a reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment, called a component. However, two or more components of an operating segment will be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. In 2012, the Company adopted new authoritative accounting guidance that allows it to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the more detailed two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company performs the quantitative test if its qualitative assessment determined it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test for any reporting unit. When performing the quantitative test, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill is determined to exceed the implied fair value of that goodwill. The estimated fair value of a reporting unit is calculated using a discounted cash flow model.
	Indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually, at the beginning of the third quarter of each fiscal year, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. In 2012, the Company also adopted new authoritative accounting guidance that allows it to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a more detailed quantitative impairment test for its indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company performs the quantitative test if its qualitative assessment determined it was more likely than not that the assets are impaired. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test. When performing the quantitative test, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is determined using the estimated discounted cash flows associated with the asset’s use. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment along with other long-lived assets as described below.
	The Company performed its required annual impairment tests for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets at the beginning of the third quarters of 2013, 2012 and 2011. No impairment of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets resulted from any of these tests.
	Asset Impairments — The Company reviews for and records impairment losses on long-lived assets (excluding goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets) in accordance with FASB guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company records impairment losses when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the related assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Please see Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements” for a further discussion.
	Inventories — Inventories are comprised principally of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for principally all wholesale apparel inventories in North America and certain wholesale and retail apparel inventories in Asia and Latin America is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost for all other inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company reviews current business trends, inventory agings and discontinued merchandise categories to determine adjustments, which it estimates will be needed to liquidate existing clearance inventories and reduce inventories to the lower of cost or market.
	Inventory held on consignment by third parties totaled $9,722 at February 2, 2014 and $9,417 at February 3, 2013.
	Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is generally provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a straight-line basis. The range of useful lives is principally as follows:  Buildings and building improvements: 15-40 years; machinery, software and equipment: 2-10 years; furniture and fixtures: 2-10 years; and fixtures located in third party customer locations (“shop-in-shops”) and their related costs: 3-5 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. In certain circumstances, contractual renewal options are considered when determining the term of the related lease. Major additions and betterments are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance are charged to operations in the period incurred. Depreciation expense totaled $189,675, $122,424 and $112,495 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Leases — The Company leases retail locations, warehouses, showrooms, office space and equipment. Assets held under capital leases are included in property, plant and equipment and are amortized over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. The Company accounts for rent expense under non-cancelable operating leases with scheduled rent increases and rent holidays on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company determines the lease term at the inception of a lease by assuming the exercise of those renewal options that are reasonably assured because of the significant economic penalty that exists for not exercising those options. The excess of straight-line rent expense over scheduled payments is recorded as a deferred liability. In addition, the Company receives build out contributions from landlords primarily as an incentive for the Company to lease retail store space from the landlords. Such amounts are amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the life of the related lease.
	Revenue Recognition — Revenue from the Company’s wholesale operations is recognized at the time title to the goods passes and the risk of loss is transferred to customers. For sales by the Company’s retail stores, revenue is recognized when goods are sold to consumers. Allowances for estimated returns and discounts are provided when sales are recorded. Royalty revenue for licensees whose sales exceed contractual sales minimums, including licensee contributions toward advertising, is recognized when licensed products are sold as reported by the Company’s licensees. For licensees whose sales do not exceed contractual sales minimums, royalty revenue is recognized ratably based on contractual requirements for the timing of minimum payments.
	The Company sells gift cards to customers in its retail stores. The Company does not charge administrative fees on gift cards, nor do they expire. Upon the purchase of a gift card by a customer, a liability is established for the cash value of the gift card. The liability is relieved and revenue is recognized when the gift card is redeemed by the customer or if the Company determines that the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed is remote (also known as “gift card breakage”) and that it does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of such unredeemed gift card to any jurisdiction. Gift card breakage was immaterial in each of the last three years.
	Sales Incentives — The Company uses certain sales incentive programs related to certain of the Company’s retail operations, such as customer loyalty programs and the issuance of coupons. The Company’s loyalty programs are structured such that customers receive gift cards for future use after specified levels of spending are achieved within a specified time period. Costs associated with the Company’s loyalty programs are recorded ratably as a cost of goods sold based on enrolled customers’ spending. Costs associated with coupons are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of coupon redemption.
	Cost of Goods Sold and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses — Costs associated with the production and procurement of product are included in cost of goods sold, including inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs and other product procurement related charges. All other expenses, excluding interest and income taxes, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, including warehousing and distribution expenses, as the predominant expenses associated therewith are general and administrative in nature, including rent, utilities and payroll.
	Shipping and Handling Fees — Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net sales.
	Advertising — Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Costs associated with cooperative advertising programs, under which the Company shares the cost of a customer’s advertising expenditures, are treated as a reduction of revenue. Advertising expenses totaled $392,472, $350,615 and $370,153 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Prepaid advertising expenses recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets totaled $4,670 and $3,126 at February 2, 2014 and February 3, 2013, respectively.
	Sales Taxes — The Company accounts for sales taxes and other related taxes on a net basis, excluding such taxes from revenue.
	Income Taxes — Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be realized.
	Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amount of deductible and taxable items, evaluating tax positions and in determining the income tax provision. The Company recognizes income tax benefits only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be fully sustained upon review by taxing authorities, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. If the recognition threshold is met, the Company measures the tax benefit at the largest amount with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. For tax positions that are 50 percent or less likely of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of that benefit in the financial statements. When the outcome of these tax matters changes, the change in estimate impacts the provision for income taxes in the period that such a determination is made. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Company’s income tax provision.
	Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions — The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in United States dollars. If the functional currency of a foreign subsidiary is not the United States dollar, assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the applicable balance sheet date and revenue and expenses are translated to United States dollars at the average exchange rate for the applicable period. Any adjustments resulting from such translation are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Gains and losses on the translation of intercompany loans made between foreign subsidiaries that are of a long-term investment nature are also included in AOCI. Transaction gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a particular entity are principally included in selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled a loss of $4,586, $1,911 and $5,729 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Financial Instruments — The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to certain anticipated cash flows associated with certain international inventory purchases. In addition, the Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain intercompany loans. To help manage these exposures, the Company uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The Company also has exposure to interest rate volatility related to its senior secured term loan facilities. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against this exposure. The Company had also entered into an interest rate cap agreement, which expired on September 6, 2012. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company records the foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate contracts at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets, and does not net the related assets and liabilities. The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts is measured as the total amount of currency to be purchased, multiplied by the difference between (i) the forward rate as of the period end and (ii) the settlement rate specified in each contract. The fair values of the interest rate contracts are based on observable interest rate yield curves and represent the expected discounted cash flows underlying the financial instruments. Changes in fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts associated with certain international inventory purchases and the interest rate contracts (collectively referred to as “cash flow hedges”) that are designated as effective hedging instruments are recorded in equity as a component of AOCI. Any ineffectiveness in such cash flow hedges is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company records immediately in earnings changes in the fair value of hedges that are not designated as effective hedging instruments, including all of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to intercompany loans, which are not of a long-term investment nature. Any gains and losses that are immediately recognized in earnings on such contracts related to intercompany loans are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying intercompany loan balances. Cash flows from the Company’s derivative instruments are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same category as the items being hedged.
	Balance Sheet Classification of Early Settlements of Long-Term Obligations — The Company classifies obligations settled after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements based on the contractual payment terms of the underlying agreements.
	Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — Employee pension benefits earned during the year, as well as interest on the projected benefit obligations or accumulated benefit obligations, are accrued quarterly. Prior service costs and credits resulting from changes in plan benefits are generally amortized over the average remaining service period of the employees expected to receive benefits. The expected return on plan assets is recognized quarterly and determined by applying the assumed return on assets to the actual fair value of plan assets adjusted for expected benefit payments, contributions and plan expenses. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the Company’s operating results in the year in which they occur. These gains and losses are measured at least annually at the end of the Company’s fiscal year and, as such, are generally recorded during the fourth quarter of each year. Please see Note 11, “Retirement and Benefit Plans” for a further discussion of the Company’s pension and other postretirement plans.
	Stock-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. Please see Note 13, “Stock-Based Compensation” for a further discussion.
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards — The FASB issued in February 2013 guidance that requires an entity to provide information about significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI. For amounts that are required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity must report the amounts by component and their corresponding effect on the respective line items of net income. Such information is required to be presented either on the face of the financial statements or as a separate disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statements. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified to net income in their entirety, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures. This guidance became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2013. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
	The FASB issued in March 2013 guidance that requires an entity to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income when it ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is a foreign entity if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment related to the investment should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such investment. This guidance becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
	The FASB issued in July 2013 guidance that requires an entity to present an uncertain tax positions, or a portion of an uncertain tax position, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. However, to the extent (i) a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or (ii) the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the uncertain tax position should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance becomes effective prospectively for the Company in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
	Reclassifications — Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the prior year periods to present that information on a basis consistent with the current year. Please see Note 4, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and Note 19, “Segment Data,” for discussions of changes in reporting related to these areas.

	ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
	Acquisition of Warnaco
	The Company acquired on February 13, 2013 all of the outstanding equity interests in Warnaco. The results of Warnaco’s operations since that date are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Warnaco designs, sources, markets and distributes a broad line of intimate apparel, underwear, jeanswear and swim products worldwide. Warnaco’s products are sold under the Calvin Klein, Speedo, Warner’s and Olga brand names and were also previously sold under the Chaps brand name. Ralph Lauren Corporation reacquired the Chaps license effective contemporaneously with the Company’s acquisition of Warnaco.
	The Warnaco acquisition provided the Company with complete direct global control of the Calvin Klein brand image and commercial decisions for the two largest Calvin Klein apparel categories — jeanswear and underwear. In addition, the Company believes the acquisition takes advantage of its and Warnaco’s complementary geographic platforms. Warnaco’s operations in Asia and Latin America should enhance the Company’s opportunities in those high-growth regions, and the Company has the ability to leverage its expertise and infrastructure in North America and Europe to enhance the growth and profitability of the Calvin Klein Jeans and Calvin Klein Underwear businesses in those regions.
	Fair Value of the Acquisition Consideration
	The acquisition date fair value of the acquisition consideration paid at closing totaled $3,137,056, which consisted of the following:
	Cash	$	2,179,980
	Common stock (7,674 shares, par value $1.00 per share)	926,452
	Warnaco employee replacement stock awards	39,752
	Elimination of pre-acquisition liability to Warnaco	(9,128		)
	Total fair value of the acquisition consideration	$	3,137,056
	The fair value of the 7,674 common shares issued was equal to the aggregate value of the shares at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on February 12, 2013, the day prior to the closing. The value of the replacement stock awards was determined by multiplying the estimated fair value of the Warnaco awards outstanding at the time of the acquisition, reduced by an estimated value of awards to be forfeited, by the proportionate amount of the vesting period that had lapsed as of the acquisition date. Also included in the acquisition consideration was the elimination of a $9,128 pre-acquisition liability to Warnaco.
	The Company funded the cash portion and related costs of the Warnaco acquisition, repaid all outstanding borrowings under its previously outstanding senior secured credit facilities and repaid all of Warnaco’s previously outstanding long-term debt with the net proceeds of (i) the issuance of $700,000 of 4 1/2% senior notes due 2022; and (ii) the borrowing of $3,075,000 of term loans under new senior secured credit facilities.
	Please see Note 4, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” Note 7, “Debt,” Note 12, “Stockholders’ Equity,” and Note 13, “Stock-Based Compensation,” for a further discussion of these aspects of the acquisition.
	The Company incurred certain pre-tax costs directly associated with the acquisition, including short-lived non-cash valuation adjustments and amortization, totaling approximately $170,000, of which approximately $43,000 was recorded in 2012 and approximately $127,000 was recorded during 2013. Please see Note 16, “Activity Exit Costs,” for a discussion of restructuring costs incurred during 2013 associated with the acquisition.
	The operations acquired with Warnaco had total revenue of $2,085,135 and a net loss, after non-cash valuation adjustments and amortization and integration costs, of $(45,254) for the period from the date of acquisition through February 2, 2014. These amounts are included in the Company’s results of operations for the year then ended.
	Pro Forma Impact of the Transaction
	The following table presents the Company’s pro forma consolidated results of operations for the year ended February 2, 2014 and February 3, 2013, as if the acquisition and the related financing transactions had occurred on January 30, 2012 (the first day of its fiscal year ended February 3, 2013) instead of on February 13, 2013. The pro forma results were calculated applying the Company’s accounting policies and reflect (i) the impact on revenue, cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from the elimination of intercompany transactions; (ii) the impact on depreciation and amortization expense based on fair value adjustments to Warnaco’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition; (iii) the impact on interest expense resulting from changes to the Company’s capital structure in connection with the acquisition; (iv) the impact on cost of goods sold resulting from acquisition date adjustments to the fair value of inventory; (v) the elimination of transaction costs related to the acquisition that were included in the Company’s results of operations for the years ended February 2, 2014 and February 3, 2013; and (vi) the tax effects of the above adjustments. The pro forma results do not include any realized or anticipated cost synergies or other effects of the integration of Warnaco. Accordingly, such pro forma amounts are not indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on January 30, 2012, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of the combined company.
		Pro Forma
		Year Ended
		2/2/14			2/3/13
	Total revenue	$	8,249,381		$	8,056,422
	Net income attributable to PVH Corp.	441,694			379,439
	Allocation of the Acquisition Consideration
	The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities and redeemable non-controlling interest assumed at the date of acquisition:
	Cash and cash equivalents	$	364,651
	Trade receivables	286,720
	Other receivables	46,859
	Inventories	442,926
	Prepaid expenses	38,743
	Other current assets	56,040
	Property, plant and equipment	123,257
	Goodwill	1,513,172
	Tradenames	604,600
	Other intangibles	1,023,700
	Other assets	169,332
	Total assets acquired	4,670,000
	Accounts payable	180,059
	Accrued expenses	260,482
	Short-term borrowings	26,927
	Current portion of long-term debt	2,000
	Long-term debt	195,000
	Other liabilities	862,876
	Total liabilities assumed	1,527,344
	Redeemable non-controlling interest	5,600
	Total fair value of acquisition consideration	$	3,137,056
	The Company finalized the purchase price allocation during the fourth quarter of 2013.
	During the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company received additional information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the Warnaco acquisition date. As a result of the receipt of new information, which was included in the final valuation report received from a third-party valuation firm, and considering the results of that report, the Company estimated the fair value of the order backlog acquired as part of the Warnaco acquisition to be $24,100 lower than the estimated provisional amount. As a result of this adjustment to fair value, the carrying amount of the order backlog (which was being amortized principally over six months) was retrospectively decreased as of February 13, 2013, with a corresponding increase to goodwill and other intangible assets (net of related deferred taxes), and the related order backlog amortization expense for the first and second quarters of 2013 was reduced. The Company recorded these measurement period adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2013 and applied the adjustments retrospectively in accordance with FASB guidance for business combinations. The measurement period adjustments were included in the results of the Calvin Klein International segment. Please see the section entitled “Selected Quarterly Financial Data - Unaudited” on pages F-57 and F-58 for the impacts of these adjustments on first and second quarter 2013 net income and earnings per share.
	In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $1,513,172, which was assigned to the Company’s Calvin Klein North America, Calvin Klein International, Tommy Hilfiger North America, Tommy Hilfiger International, Heritage Brands Wholesale and Heritage Brands Retail segments in the amounts of $456,032, $658,575, $5,900, $296,500, $84,265, and $11,900 respectively. In accordance with FASB guidance, the goodwill acquired in the Warnaco acquisition was assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. For those reporting units that had not been assigned any of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed in the acquisition, the amount of goodwill assigned was determined by calculating the estimated fair value of such reporting units before the acquisition and their estimated fair values after the acquisition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
	The Company also recorded other intangible assets of $1,628,300, which included reacquired license rights of $593,300, order backlog of $73,000 and customer relationships of $149,800, which are all amortizable, as well as tradenames of $604,600 and perpetual license rights of $207,600, which have indefinite lives.
	Sale of Chaps Sportswear Assets
	Contemporaneously with the Company’s acquisition of Warnaco, Ralph Lauren Corporation reacquired the Chaps license. The Chaps sportswear business was previously operated by Warnaco under such license. In connection with this transaction, the Company sold all of the assets of the Chaps sportswear business, which consisted principally of inventory, to Ralph Lauren Corporation for gross proceeds of $18,278.
	Sale of Bass Business
	On November 4, 2013, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its G.H. Bass & Co. (“Bass”) business. The decision to sell these assets was based on the Company’s strategy to drive growth through its higher-margin Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger businesses.
	The Company completed the sale of these assets for gross proceeds of $49,236 and recorded a loss of $15,997, which represents the excess of the carrying value of the assets over the proceeds received, plus costs to sell. This loss is principally included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements for the year ended February 2, 2014.
	A small number of the Company’s Bass stores were excluded from the sale and were deemed to be impaired as of the end of the third quarter of 2013. The Company recorded a loss of $1,161 related to the impaired stores. Please see Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements,” for a further discussion. In addition, the Company recorded a gain of $3,255 as a result of writing off certain liabilities in connection with the transaction. The Company also recognized costs related to severance and termination benefits for certain Bass employees, which totaled $1,952. The above-mentioned items are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements for the year ended February 2, 2014 and are included in the Heritage Brands Retail segment.
	In connection with the sale, the Company guaranteed lease payments for substantially all Bass retail stores included in the sale. The estimated fair value of these guarantee obligations at the time of the sale was $4,373, which was recorded in the Heritage Brands Retail segment and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements for the year ended February 2, 2014 and accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 2, 2014. Please see Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements,” and Note 20, “Guarantees,” for a further discussion.
	In connection with the items outlined above, the Company recorded a net pre-tax loss of $20,228 during 2013.
	Acquisition of Russia Franchisee
	During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company acquired three Tommy Hilfiger stores in Russia from a former Tommy Hilfiger franchisee. The Company paid $6,033 as consideration for this transaction. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination.
	Acquisition of Netherlands Franchisee
	During the third quarter of 2012, the Company acquired from a former Tommy Hilfiger franchisee in the Netherlands 100% of the share capital of ten affiliated companies, which operate 13 Tommy Hilfiger stores in the Netherlands. The Company paid $13,104 as consideration for this transaction, which was accounted for as a business combination.
	Reacquisition of Tommy Hilfiger Tailored Apparel License
During 2011, the Company entered into agreements to reacquire from a licensee, prior to the expiration of the license, the rights to distribute Tommy Hilfiger brand tailored apparel in Europe and acquire an outlet store from the licensee. The transfer of the rights and store ownership was effective December 31, 2012. Under these agreements, the Company made a payment of $9,641 to the licensee during the fourth quarter of 2011 and an additional payment of $24,752 to the licensee during the fourth quarter of 2012. This reacquisition was accounted for as a business combination.
Reacquisition of Perpetually Licensed Rights for Tommy Hilfiger in India
During the third quarter of 2011, the Company reacquired the rights in India to the Tommy Hilfiger trademarks that had been subject to a perpetual license previously granted to GVM International Limited (“GVM”). The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The Company paid $25,000 as consideration for this transaction. In addition, the Company is required to make annual contingent purchase price payments into 2016 (or, under certain circumstances, into 2017) based on a percentage of annual sales in excess of an agreed upon threshold of Tommy Hilfiger products in India following the acquisition date. Such payments are subject to a $25,000 aggregate maximum and are due within 60 days following each one-year period. The Company made contingent annual purchase price payments of $429 and $185 during 2013 and 2012, respectively. The estimated fair value of future payments as of February 2, 2014 is $4,237. Please see Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements,” for a further discussion.
In connection with the transaction, the Company recorded an expense of $20,709 during the third quarter of 2011 due to the settlement of an unfavorable contract as a result of a pre-existing relationship with the licensee, as the license provided favorable terms to the licensee. Such expense was included within selling, general and administrative expenses.

	REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
	As a result of the acquisition of Warnaco, the Company owns a 51% interest in a joint venture in India, Premium Garments Wholesale Trading Private Limited (“CK India”), that, as of February 2, 2014, was consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.
	The Shareholders Agreement entered into by the parties to the joint venture (the “Shareholders Agreement”) contains a put option under which the non-controlling shareholders can require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their shares in the joint venture (i) at any date with respect to one of the non-controlling shareholders, who holds a 24% interest; and (ii) after July 8, 2015, or at any date if the Company commits a material breach, as defined in the Shareholders Agreement, that is not cured, or becomes insolvent, with respect to the other non-controlling shareholder, who holds a 25% interest. The put price is the fair market value of the shares on the redemption date based upon a multiple of the joint venture’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the prior 12 months, less the joint venture’s net debt and any amounts owed to the Company by the non-controlling shareholders.
	The Shareholders Agreement also contains a call option, under which the Company can require any of the non-controlling shareholders to sell their shares to the Company (i) at any date in the event that any non-controlling shareholder commits a material breach, as defined in the Shareholders Agreement, under any of the agreements related to the joint venture, that is not cured; or (ii) at any date after July 8, 2015. The call price is determined by the same method as the put price (as described above). During the second quarter of 2013, the Company gave notice to the non-controlling shareholders that it was exercising the call option due to a continuing material breach by the non-controlling shareholders. As of February 2, 2014, the sale of the non-controlling interests had not yet been consummated.
	The fair value of the non-controlling interest as of the date of the Warnaco acquisition was $5,600. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest are recognized immediately as they occur, since a portion of the non-controlling interest is currently redeemable and it is probable that the other portion will become redeemable in the future based on the passage of time. The carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest is adjusted to equal the fair value at the end of each reporting period, provided that this amount at the end of each reporting period cannot be lower than the initial fair value. Any fair value adjustment to the carrying amount is determined after attribution of net income and other comprehensive income of the non-controlling interest. After initial measurement, the attribution of any net losses of the non-controlling interest cannot exceed the amount of any increase in fair value above the initial fair value. Any fair value adjustment to the carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest will be recognized immediately in retained earnings of the Company. After adjusting the carrying amount for the net loss and other comprehensive loss attributable to the non-controlling interest during 2013, an adjustment to the Company’s retained earnings of $2,149 was necessary to increase the fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest, as of February 2, 2014, to the initial fair value of $5,600.

	2011 Senior Secured Credit Facilities
	On May 6, 2010, the Company entered into senior secured credit facilities, which it amended and restated on March 2, 2011 (the “2011 facilities”). The 2011 facilities consisted of a Euro-denominated Term Loan A facility, a United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A facility, a Euro-denominated Term Loan B facility, a United States dollar-denominated Term Loan B facility, a United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility and two multi-currency (one United States dollar and Canadian dollar, and the other Euro, Japanese Yen and British Pound) revolving credit facilities. The 2011 facilities provided for initial borrowings of up to an aggregate of approximately $1,970,000 (based on applicable exchange rates on March 2, 2011), consisting of (i) an aggregate of approximately $1,520,000 of term loan facilities; and (ii) approximately $450,000 of revolving credit facilities.
	The Company made payments of $299,598 on its term loans under the 2011 facilities during 2012.
	On February 13, 2013, in connection with the Warnaco acquisition, the Company modified and extinguished the 2011 facilities and repaid all outstanding borrowings thereunder, as discussed in the section entitled “2013 Senior Secured Credit Facilities” below.
	2013 Senior Secured Credit Facilities
	On February 13, 2013, simultaneously with and related to the closing of the Warnaco acquisition, the Company entered into new senior secured credit facilities (the “2013 facilities”), the proceeds of which were used to fund a portion of the acquisition, repay all outstanding borrowings under the 2011 facilities and repay all of Warnaco’s previously outstanding long-term debt. The 2013 facilities consist of a $1,700,000 United States dollar-denominated Term Loan A (recorded net of an original issue discount of $7,325 as of the acquisition date), a $1,375,000 United States dollar-denominated Term Loan B (recorded net of an original issue discount of $6,875 as of the acquisition date) and senior secured revolving credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $750,000 (based on the applicable exchange rates on February 13, 2013), consisting of (a) a $475,000 United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility, (b) a $25,000 United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facility available in United States dollars or Canadian dollars and (c) a €185,850 Euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in Euro, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen and Swiss Francs. In connection with entering into the 2013 facilities and repaying all outstanding borrowings under the 2011 facilities and all of Warnaco’s previously outstanding long-term debt, the Company paid debt issuance costs of $67,370 (of which $34,638 was expensed as debt modification and extinguishment costs and $32,732 is being amortized over the term of the related debt agreement) and recorded additional debt modification and extinguishment costs of $5,757 to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs.
	The revolving credit facilities include amounts available for letters of credit. As of February 2, 2014, the Company had drawn no revolving credit borrowings and approximately $56,111 of letters of credit. A portion of both United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facilities is also available for the making of swingline loans. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swingline loan reduces the amount available under the applicable revolving credit facility. So long as certain conditions are satisfied, the Company may add one or more term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the revolving credit facilities by an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (a) $750,000 and (b) $1,250,000 as long as the ratio of the Company’s senior secured net debt to consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (in each case calculated as set forth in the documentation relating to the 2013 facilities) would not exceed 3 to 1 after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such increase, plus, in either case, an amount equal to the aggregate revolving commitments of any defaulting lender (to the extent the commitments with respect thereto have been terminated). The lenders under the 2013 facilities are not required to provide commitments with respect to such additional facilities or increased commitments.
	During 2013, the Company made payments of $500,188 on its term loans under the 2013 facilities, the majority of which was voluntary. As of February 2, 2014, the Company had total term loans outstanding of $2,563,557, net of original issue discounts. The terms of each of Term Loan A and Term Loan B contain a mandatory quarterly repayment schedule. Due to the above-mentioned voluntary payments, the Company is not required to make any additional mandatory repayments under Term Loan B prior to maturity.
	The outstanding borrowings under the 2013 facilities are prepayable at any time without penalty. The terms of the 2013 facilities require the Company to repay certain amounts outstanding thereunder with (a) net cash proceeds of the incurrence of certain indebtedness, (b) net cash proceeds of certain asset sales or other dispositions (including as a result of casualty or condemnation) that exceed certain thresholds, to the extent such proceeds are not reinvested or committed to be reinvested in the business in accordance with customary reinvestment provisions and (c) a percentage of excess cash flow, which percentage is based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio during the relevant fiscal period.
	The United States dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2013 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) a one-month adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% (provided that, in the case of Term Loan B, in no event will the base rate be deemed to be less than 1.75%) or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the new facilities (provided that, in the case of Term Loan B, in no event will the adjusted Eurocurrency rate be deemed to be less than 0.75%).
	Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings under the revolving credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the rate of interest per annum that Royal Bank of Canada establishes at its main office in Toronto, Ontario as the reference rate of interest in order to determine interest rates for loans in Canadian Dollars to its Canadian borrowers and (ii) the sum of (x) the average of the rates per annum for Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances having a term of one month that appears on the display referred to as “CDOR Page” of Reuters Monitor Money Rate Services as of 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of determination, as reported by the administrative agent (and if such screen is not available, any successor or similar service as may be selected by the administrative agent), and (y) 0.75%, or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the new facilities.
	The borrowings under the revolving credit facilities in currencies other than United States dollars or Canadian dollars bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the new facilities.
	The current applicable margins are in the case of Term Loan A and the revolving credit facilities, 2.00% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.00% for base rate loans, as applicable. The applicable margins in the case of Term Loan B are fixed at 2.50% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.50% for base rate loans, respectively. After the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements with respect to the Company’s fiscal year ending February 2, 2014, the applicable margin for borrowings under Term Loan A and the revolving credit facilities is subject to adjustment based on the Company’s year-end net leverage ratio.
	During 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a three-year term commencing on August 19, 2013. The agreement was designed with the intended effect of converting an initial notional amount of $1,228,750 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation under its United States dollar-denominated senior secured Term Loan A facility, or any replacement facility with similar terms, to fixed rate debt. As of February 2, 2014, the notional amount outstanding was $1,091,492. Under the terms of the agreement for the then-outstanding notional amount, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the one-month LIBOR is eliminated, and it will pay a fixed rate of 0.604%, plus the current applicable margin.
	During 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a three-year term commencing on June 6, 2011. The agreement was designed with the intended effect of converting an initial notional amount of $632,000 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation under its previously outstanding United States dollar-denominated senior secured Term Loan A facility, or any replacement facility with similar terms, to fixed rate debt. Such agreement remains outstanding, with a notional amount of $326,008 as of February 2, 2014, subsequent to the repayment of the Company’s previously outstanding 2011 facility and, as of February 2, 2014, is converting a portion of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation under its Term Loan A facility in the 2013 facilities to fixed rate debt. Under the terms of the agreement for the then-outstanding notional amount, the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the three-month LIBOR is eliminated, and it will pay a fixed rate of 1.197%, plus the current applicable margin.
	The outstanding notional amount of each interest rate swap will be adjusted according to pre-set schedules during the term of each swap agreement such that, based on the Company’s projections for future debt repayments, the Company’s outstanding debt under the Term Loan A facility is expected to always equal or exceed the then-outstanding combined notional amount of the interest rate swaps.
	In addition, during 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement for a 15-month term commencing on June 6, 2011. The agreement was designed with the intended effect of capping the interest rate on an initial notional amount of €165,895 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligation under its previously outstanding Euro-denominated senior secured Term Loan A and B facilities. Such cap agreement expired September 6, 2012.
	The 2013 facilities contain covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to finance future operations or capital needs, to take advantage of other business opportunities that may be in its interest or to satisfy its obligations under its other outstanding debt. These covenants restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things:
	•	incur or guarantee additional debt or extend credit;
	•	make restricted payments, including paying dividends or making distributions on, or redeeming or repurchasing, the Company’s capital stock or certain debt;
	•	make acquisitions and investments;
	•	dispose of assets;
	•	engage in transactions with affiliates;
	•	enter into agreements restricting the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends;
	•	create liens on the Company’s assets or engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and
	•	effect a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer, or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
	The 2013 facilities require the Company to comply with certain financial covenants, including minimum interest coverage and maximum net leverage. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the applicable facility. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable, which would result in acceleration of the Company’s other debt. If the Company was unable to repay any such borrowings when due, the lenders could proceed against their collateral, which also secures some of the Company’s other indebtedness.
	4 1/2% Senior Notes Due 2022
	On December 20, 2012, the Company issued $700,000 principal amount of 4 1/2% senior notes due December 15, 2022 in connection with the Warnaco acquisition. Interest on the 4 1/2% notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2013. The Company paid $16,257 of fees in the first quarter of 2013 in connection with the issuance of these notes, which will be amortized over the term of the notes.
	The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to December 15, 2017 by paying a “make whole” premium plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may also redeem up to 35% of these notes prior to December 15, 2015 with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings without having to pay a penalty or “make whole” premium. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes on or after December 15, 2017 at specified redemption prices plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends and make other restricted payments is limited, in each case, over specified amounts as defined in the indenture governing the notes.
	7 3/8% Senior Notes Due 2020
	On May 6, 2010, the Company issued $600,000 principal amount of 7 3/8% senior notes due May 15, 2020. Interest on the notes was payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company received the requisite consents from holders of these notes to amend the indenture governing the notes. Under the terms of the consent solicitation, the Company paid $5,749 during the fourth quarter of 2012 to the holders of the notes. The Company redeemed the notes in March 2014. Please see Note 22, “Subsequent Events (Unaudited),” for a further discussion.
7 3/4% Debentures Due 2023
The Company has outstanding $100,000 of debentures due on November 15, 2023 with a yield to maturity of 7.80%. The debentures accrue interest at the rate of 7 3/4%, which is payable semi-annually. Pursuant to the indenture governing the debentures, the Company must maintain a certain level of stockholders’ equity in order to pay cash dividends and make other restricted payments, as defined in the indenture governing the debentures.
Substantially all of the Company’s assets have been pledged as collateral to secure the Company’s obligations under its senior secured credit facilities, the 7 3/4% debentures due 2023 and contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein as discussed in Note 4, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”
Interest paid was $170,756, $96,687 and $111,433 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	The domestic and foreign components of income before provision for income taxes were as follows:
		2013				2012				2011
	Domestic	$	98,772			$	229,080			$	127,393
	Foreign	229,994				314,032				235,692
	Total	$	328,766			$	543,112			$	363,085
	Taxes paid were $45,813, $55,502 and $71,873 in 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	The provision (benefit) for income taxes attributable to income consisted of the following:
		2013				2012				2011
	Federal:
	Current	$	116,950			$	18,743			$	18,053

	Total	$	185,284			$	109,272			$	87,388
	The Company’s provision for income taxes for the years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was different from the amount computed by applying the statutory United States federal income tax rates to the underlying income as follows:
		2013			2012			2011
	Statutory federal tax rate	35	%		35	%		35	%
	State and local income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit	(3.0	)%		1.2	%		0.8	%

	Other, net	(1.8	)%		(0.9	)%		2.5	%
	Effective tax rate	56.4	%		20.1	%		24.1	%
	In 2013, the Company recorded $145,525 of tax expense, which increased the 2013 effective tax rate by 44.3% and is displayed in the above table as change in estimates for uncertain tax positions. The majority of this expense relates to an increase to the Company’s previously established liability for an uncertain tax position related to European and United States transfer pricing arrangements. Such liabilities are expected to continue to be adjusted as facts and circumstances change. Also in 2013, the Company recorded expense of $19,227, which increased the 2013 effective tax rate by 5.8%. The majority of this expense relates to valuation allowances recorded on deferred tax assets from the Company’s business in Japan, as well as certain domestic state and local deferred tax assets.
	Effects of international jurisdictions, including foreign tax credits, reflected in the above table for 2013, 2012 and 2011 include not only those taxes at statutory income tax rates but also taxes at special rates levied on income from certain jurisdictional activities. The Company expects to benefit from these special rates until 2023.
	The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities were as follows:
		2013				2012
	Gross deferred tax assets
	Tax loss and credit carryforwards	$	282,888			$	95,665
	Employee compensation and benefits	82,414				102,105
	Inventories	18,047				13,765
	Accounts receivable	26,698				12,751
	Accrued expenses	38,051				22,844
	Other, net	40,194				8,022
	Subtotal	488,292				255,152
	Valuation allowances	(43,553		)		(9,945		)
	Total gross deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances	$	444,739			$	245,207
	Gross deferred tax liabilities
	Intangibles	$	(1,197,118	)		$	(712,496	)
	Property, plant and equipment	(75,113		)		(22,732		)
	Total gross deferred tax liabilities	$	(1,272,231	)		$	(735,228	)
	Net deferred tax liability	$	(827,492	)		$	(490,021	)
	At the end of 2013, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,926, tax effected state tax loss carryforwards of approximately $37,984, which at current apportionment percentages would equate to approximately $1,404,744 of income (which is subject to change based upon future apportionment percentages), foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $451,085 and federal, state and local carryforwards of $183,610. The carryforwards expire principally between 2014 and 2033. The valuation allowance increase relates primarily to tax attributes (e.g., state, local and foreign net operating loss carryforwards) for which the Company currently believes it is more likely than not that a portion of these losses will be realized.
	The Company does not provide for deferred taxes on the excess of financial reporting over tax basis on its investments in all of its foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration. The earnings that are permanently reinvested were $1,723,499 as of February 2, 2014. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable if these earnings were repatriated due to the complexities associated with the hypothetical calculation.
	Uncertain tax positions activity for each of the last two years was as follows:
		2013				2012
	Balance at beginning of year	$	197,964			$	184,004
	Increase due to assumed Warnaco positions	142,778				—
	Increases related to prior year tax positions	123,396				3,775
	Decreases related to prior year tax positions	(3,194		)		(2,747		)
	Increases related to current year tax positions	64,059				22,114
	Lapses in statute of limitations	(38,290		)		(10,939		)
	Effects of foreign currency translation	(1,004		)		1,757
	Balance at end of year	$	485,709			$	197,964
	The entire amount of uncertain tax positions as of February 2, 2014, if recognized, would reduce the future effective tax rate under current accounting provisions.
Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded in the Company’s income tax provision. Interest and penalties recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements totaled an expense of $15,306 and $3,420 for 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest and penalties accrued in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 2, 2014 and February 3, 2013 totaled $67,853 and $13,997, respectively. The Company records its liabilities for uncertain tax positions principally in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the anticipated timing of relieving such liabilities.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign, state and local jurisdictions. With few exceptions, examinations have been completed by tax authorities or the statute of limitations has expired for United States federal, foreign, state and local income tax returns filed by the Company for years through 2005. It is reasonably possible that a reduction of uncertain tax positions in a range of $70,000 to $100,000 may occur within 12 months of February 2, 2014.

	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to certain anticipated cash flows associated with certain international inventory purchases. In addition, the Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain intercompany loans. To help manage these exposures, the Company periodically uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts.
	The Company also has exposure to interest rate volatility related to its senior secured term loan facilities. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against this exposure. The Company had also entered into an interest rate cap agreement, which expired on September 6, 2012. Please see Note 7, “Debt,” for a further discussion of the Company’s senior secured term loan facilities and these agreements.
	The Company records the foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate contracts at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets, and does not net the related assets and liabilities. Changes in fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts associated with certain international inventory purchases and the interest rate contracts (collectively referred to as “cash flow hedges”) that are designated as effective hedging instruments are recorded in equity as a component of AOCI. The cash flows from such hedges are presented in the same category on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged. Any ineffectiveness in such cash flow hedges is immediately recognized in earnings and no contracts were excluded from effectiveness testing. In addition, the Company records immediately in earnings changes in the fair value of hedges that are not designated as effective hedging instruments (“undesignated contracts”), including all of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to intercompany loans, which are not of a long-term investment nature. Any gains and losses that are immediately recognized in earnings on such contracts related to intercompany loans are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying intercompany loan balances. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
	The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Company’s derivative financial instruments:
		Asset Derivatives (Classified in Other Current Assets and Other Assets)								Liability Derivatives (Classified in Accrued
										Expenses and Other Liabilities)
		2013				2012				2013				2012

	At February 2, 2014, the notional amount outstanding of foreign currency forward exchange contracts for inventory purchases and intercompany loans was approximately $544,000 and $87,000, respectively. Such contracts expire between February 2014 and January 2015 for inventory purchases and between February 2014 and March 2014 for intercompany loans.
	The following table summarizes the effect of the Company’s hedges designated as cash flow hedging instruments:

	There was no ineffective portion of hedges designated as cash flow hedging instruments during 2013 or 2012.
	A net loss in AOCI on foreign currency forward exchange contracts at February 2, 2014 of $4,490 is estimated to be reclassified in the next 12 months in the Consolidated Income Statements to costs of goods sold as the underlying inventory is purchased and sold. In addition, a net loss in AOCI for interest rate contracts at February 2, 2014 of $5,706 is estimated to be reclassified to interest expense within the next 12 months.
	The following table summarizes the effect of the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange undesignated contracts:

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	'
	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	FASB guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a three level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
	Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
	Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available.
	In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis:
		2013														2012
		Level 1		Level 2				Level 3				Total				Level 1	Level 2		Level 3		Total
	Assets:
	Foreign currency forward exchange contracts	N/A		$	5,764			N/A				$	5,764			N/A	$	4,693	N/A		$	4,693

	Interest rate contracts	N/A		6,821				N/A				6,821				N/A	5,058		N/A		5,058

	Total Liabilities	N/A		$	13,044			$	4,237			$	17,281			N/A	$	18,518	$	7,003	$	25,521
	The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts is measured as the total amount of currency to be purchased, multiplied by the difference between (i) the forward rate as of the period end and (ii) the settlement rate specified in each contract. The fair values of the interest rate contracts are based on observable interest rate yield curves and represent the expected discounted cash flows underlying the financial instruments.
	Pursuant to the agreement governing the reacquisition of the rights in India to the Tommy Hilfiger trademarks, the Company is required to make annual contingent purchase price payments into 2016 (or, under certain circumstances, into 2017) based on a percentage of annual sales in excess of an agreed upon threshold of Tommy Hilfiger products in India. Such payments are subject to a $25,000 aggregate maximum and are due within 60 days following each one-year period. The Company made contingent annual purchase price payments of $429 and $185 during 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company is required to remeasure this liability at fair value on a recurring basis and classifies this as a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of such contingent purchase price payments was determined using the discounted cash flow method, based on net sales projections for the Tommy Hilfiger apparel and accessories businesses in India, and was discounted using rates of return that account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows. Excluding the initial recognition of the liability for the contingent purchase price payments and payments made to reduce the liability, changes in the fair value are included within selling, general and administrative expenses.
	The following table presents the change in the Level 3 contingent purchase price payment liability during 2013 and 2012:
		2013				2012
	Beginning Balance	$	7,003			$	9,559
	Payments	(429		)		(185		)
	Adjustments included in earnings	(2,337		)		(2,371		)
	Ending Balance	$	4,237			$	7,003
	Additional information with respect to assumptions used to value the contingent purchase price payment liability as of February 2, 2014 is as follows:
	Unobservable Inputs		Amount
	Approximate compounded annual net sales growth rate		38	%
	Approximate		20	%
	discount rate
	A five percentage point increase or decrease in the discount rate would change the liability by approximately $500.
	A five percentage point increase or decrease in the compounded annual net sales growth rate would change the liability by approximately $500.
	There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of the Company’s fair value measurements.
	The following table shows the fair value of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (consisting of property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets) during 2013 and 2012, and the total impairments recorded as a result of the remeasurement process:
		Fair Value Measurement Using								Fair Value				Total
										As Of				Impairments
		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3				Impairment Date
	2013	N/A		N/A		$	1,072			$	1,072			$	8,757
	2012	N/A		N/A		$	2,229			$	2,229			$	7,475
	Long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $8,668 were written down to a fair value of $1,072 during 2013 in connection with the financial performance in certain of the Company’s retail stores. Fair value was determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using current sales trends and market participant assumptions. The impairment charge of $7,596 was included in selling, general and administrative expenses, of which $808 was recorded in the Calvin Klein North America segment, $947 was recorded in the Calvin Klein International segment, $3,121 was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment, $2,226 was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger International segment and $494 was recorded in the Heritage Brands Retail segment.
	Long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $1,161 were written down to a fair value of zero during 2013 in connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Bass business. The impairment charge was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Heritage Brands Retail segment.
	Long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $259 were written down to a fair value of zero during 2012 in connection with the exit of a facility as part of the Company’s integration of Tommy Hilfiger. Such assets were deemed to have no future use or economic benefit based on the Company’s analysis using market participant assumptions, and therefore no expected future cash flows. The impairment charge was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in corporate expenses not allocated to any reportable segment.
	Long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $9,445 were written down to a fair value of $2,229 during 2012 in connection with the financial performance in certain of the Company’s retail stores. Fair value was determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using current sales trends and market participant assumptions. The impairment charge of $7,216 was included in selling, general and administrative expenses, of which $671 was recorded in the Heritage Brands Retail segment, $281 was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment and $6,264 was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger International segment.
	In connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Bass business in 2013, the Company guaranteed lease payments for substantially all of the business’ retail stores under the current terms of noncancelable leases expiring on various dates through 2022. These guarantees include minimum rent payments and relate to leases that commenced prior to the sale of the Bass assets. In certain instances, the Company’s guarantee may remain in effect if an option is exercised to extend the term of the lease. The estimated fair value of these guarantee obligations as of February 2, 2014 is $4,056, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company classifies this as a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of such guarantee obligations was determined using the discounted cash flow method, based on the guaranteed lease payments, the estimated probability of lease extensions and estimates of the risk of default by the buyer of the Bass assets, and was discounted using rates of return that account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows.
	The carrying amounts and the fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings and long-term debt were as follows:
		2013								2012
		Carrying				Fair				Carrying				Fair
		Amount				Value				Amount				Value
	Cash and cash equivalents	$	593,159			$	593,159			$	892,209			$	892,209
	Short-term borrowings	6,796				6,796				10,847				10,847

	RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS
	The Company has five noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees resident in the United States who meet certain age and service requirements as of February 2, 2014. As part of the Warnaco acquisition, the Company acquired a frozen noncontributory defined benefit pension plan. Such plan was merged with an existing plan during 2013. For those vested (after five years of service), the plans provide monthly benefits upon retirement based on career compensation and years of credited service. The Company refers to these five plans as its “Pension Plans.”
	The Company also has for certain members of Tommy Hilfiger’s domestic senior management a supplemental executive retirement plan, which is an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plan. Such plan is frozen and, as a result, participants do not accrue additional benefits. In addition, the Company has a capital accumulation program, which is an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit plan covering three current and 15 retired executives as of February 2, 2014. Under the individual participants’ agreements, the participants in this plan will receive a predetermined amount during the 10 years following the attainment of age 65, provided that prior to the termination of employment with the Company, the participant has been in the plan for at least 10 years and has attained age 55. The Company also has for certain employees resident in the United States who meet certain age and service requirements an unfunded non-qualified supplemental defined benefit pension plan, which provides benefits for compensation in excess of Internal Revenue Service earnings limits and requires payments to vested employees upon, or shortly after, employment termination or retirement. The Company refers to these three plans as its “SERP Plans.”
	The Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees resident in the United States. Retirees contribute to the cost of this plan, which is unfunded. During 2002, the postretirement plan was amended to eliminate the Company contribution, which partially subsidized benefits, for active participants who, as of January 1, 2003, had not attained age 55 and 10 years of service. As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Warnaco, the Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain Warnaco retirees resident in the United States. Retirees contribute to the cost of this plan, which is unfunded. This plan was frozen on January 1, 2014. The Company refers to these two plans as its “Postretirement Plans.”
	Reconciliations of the changes in the projected benefit obligation (Pension Plans and SERP Plans) and the accumulated benefit obligation (Postretirement Plans) for each of the last two years were as follows:

		Pension Plans				SERP Plans				Postretirement Plan
	Prior service (cost) credit	$	(5	)		$	68			$	775
	The assets of the Pension Plans are invested with the objective of being able to meet current and future benefit payment needs, while controlling future contributions. The assets of the Pension Plans are diversified among United States equities, international equities, fixed income investments and cash. The strategic target allocation for the majority of the Pension Plans as of February 2, 2014 was approximately 40% United States equities, 20% international equities and 40% fixed income investments. Equity securities primarily include investments in large-, mid- and small-cap companies located in the United States and abroad. Fixed income securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, municipal bonds, collective funds and United States Treasury bonds. Actual investment allocations may vary from the Company’s target investment allocations due to prevailing market conditions.
	In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described in Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements,” the following tables show the fair value of the total assets of the Company’s Pension Plans for each major category as of February 2, 2014 and February 3, 2013:

(10)	Valued at the net asset value of the fund, as determined by a pricing vendor or the fund family. The Company has the ability to redeem these investments at net asset value within the near term and therefore classifies these investments within Level 2. This fund invests primarily in equities outside the United States seeking long-term capital appreciation.
(11)	The Company uses third-party pricing services to determine the fair values of the financial instruments held by the Pension Plans. The Company obtains an understanding of the pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs and validates a sample of prices provided by the pricing services by reviewing prices from other pricing sources and analyzing pricing data in certain instances. The Company has not adjusted any prices received from the third-party pricing services.
The Company believes that there are no significant concentrations of risk within its plan assets at February 2, 2014.
In 2013, two of the Company’s Pension Plans had projected benefit obligations and accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets. In 2012, all of the Company’s Pension Plans had projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets and three of the Company’s Pension Plans had accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets. The balances were as follows:
	2013				2012
Number of plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets	2				5
Aggregate projected benefit obligation	$	27,735			$	406,395
Aggregate fair value of related plan assets	$	22,319			$	384,022

Currently, the Company expects to make contributions of approximately $2,500 to its Pension Plans in 2014. The Company’s actual contributions may differ from planned contributions due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, or significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates. The expected benefit payments associated with the Company’s Pension Plans and SERP Plans, and expected benefit payments, net of retiree contributions, associated with the Company’s Postretirement Plans are as follows:
									Postretirement Plans
	Pension Plans				SERP				Excluding Medicare				Expected Medicare
					Plans				Subsidy Receipts				Subsidy Receipts
2014	$	27,547			$	6,508			$	2,103			$	73
2015	28,358				6,436				1,981				68
2016	28,851				6,257				1,830				63
2017	29,561				5,704				1,704				58
2018	30,608				6,131				1,598				53
2019-2023	170,170				49,511				6,233				192
The medical health care cost trend rate assumed for 2014 is 6.17% and is assumed to decrease by approximately 0.14% per year through 2023. Thereafter, the rate assumed is 4.95%. If the assumed health care cost trend rate increased or decreased by 1%, the aggregate effect on the service and interest cost components of the net postretirement benefit cost for 2013 and on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at February 2, 2014 would be as follows:
	1% Increase				1% Decrease
Impact on service and interest cost	$	81			$	(69	)
Impact on year end accumulated postretirement benefit obligation	1,060				(970		)
Significant weighted average rate assumptions used in determining the projected and accumulated benefit obligations at the end of each year and benefit cost in the following year were as follows:
	2013			2012			2011
Discount rate	5.07	%		4.67	%		5.06	%
Rate of increase in compensation levels (applies to Pension Plans only)	4.33	%		4.34	%		4.31	%
Long-term rate of return on assets (applies to Pension Plans only)	7.25	%		7.25	%		7.75	%
To develop the expected weighted average long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered the historical level of the risk premium associated with the asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the portfolio.
The Company has savings and retirement plans and a supplemental savings plan for the benefit of its eligible employees who elect to participate. The Company matches a portion of employee contributions to the plans. The Company also has a defined contribution plan for certain employees associated with certain businesses acquired in the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition, whereby the Company pays a percentage of the contribution for the employee. The Company’s contributions to these plans were $21,849, $15,114 and $12,664 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	'
	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	The Company grants stock-based awards under its 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan replaced the Company’s 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”) and certain other prior stock option plans. The 2003 Plan and these other plans terminated upon the 2006 Plan’s initial stockholder approval in June 2006, other than with respect to outstanding options, which continued to be governed by the applicable prior plan. Only awards under the 2003 Plan continue to be outstanding insofar as these prior plans are concerned. Shares issued as a result of stock-based compensation transactions generally have been funded with the issuance of new shares of the Company’s common stock.
	The Company may grant the following types of incentive awards under the 2006 Plan: (i) non-qualified stock options (“NQs”); (ii) incentive stock options (“ISOs”); (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; (v) restricted stock units (“RSUs”); (vi) performance share units; and (vii) other stock-based awards. Each award granted under the 2006 Plan is subject to an award agreement that incorporates, as applicable, the exercise price, the term of the award, the periods of restriction, the number of shares to which the award pertains, applicable performance period(s) and performance measure(s), and such other terms and conditions as the plan committee determines.
	Through February 2, 2014, the Company has granted under the 2006 Plan: (i) service-based NQs, RSUs and restricted stock; (ii) contingently issuable performance share units; and (iii) RSUs that are intended to satisfy the performance-based condition for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. According to the terms of the 2006 Plan, for purposes of determining the number of shares available for grant, with the exception of the Warnaco employee replacement awards discussed below, each share underlying a stock option award reduces the number available by one share, each share underlying a restricted stock award reduces the number available by two shares and each share underlying an RSU or performance share unit award reduces the number available by three shares for awards made before April 29, 2009 and by two shares for awards made on or after April 29, 2009. Each share underlying a Warnaco employee replacement stock option, restricted stock, RSU or performance share unit award reduces the number available by one share. The per share exercise price of options granted under the 2006 Plan cannot be less than the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant (the business day prior to the date of grant for awards granted prior to September 21, 2006).
	The Company currently has service-based NQs and ISOs outstanding under the 2003 Plan. Such options were granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the business day immediately preceding the date of grant.
	Under the terms of the merger agreement in connection with the Warnaco acquisition, each outstanding award of Warnaco stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units was assumed by the Company and converted into an award of the same type, and, subject to the same terms and conditions, but payable in shares of Company common stock. The stock options are generally exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of original grant and the RSUs and restricted stock awards generally vest three years after the date of original grant, principally on a cliff basis. The Company accounted for the replacement awards as a modification of the existing awards. As such, a new fair value was assigned to the awards, a portion of which is included as part of the merger consideration. The merger consideration of $39,752 was determined by multiplying the estimated fair value of the Warnaco awards outstanding at the effective time of the Warnaco acquisition, net of the estimated value of awards to be forfeited, by the proportionate amount of the vesting period that had lapsed as of the acquisition date. The remaining fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, is being expensed on a straight-line basis over the awards’ remaining vesting periods.
	Net income for 2013, 2012 and 2011 included $57,954, $33,599 and $40,938, respectively, of pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation.
	Stock options currently outstanding, with the exception of the Warnaco employee replacement awards discussed above, are generally cumulatively exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of grant. The vesting of such options outstanding is also generally accelerated upon retirement (as defined in the applicable plan). Such options are generally granted with a 10-year term.
	The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The estimated fair value of the options, net of estimated forfeitures, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods. At February 2, 2014, there was $13,213 of unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.
	The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of service-based stock options granted during 2013 (with the exception of the Warnaco employee replacement stock options), 2012 and 2011:
		2013				2012				2011
	Weighted average risk-free interest rate	1.05		%		1.2		%		2.62		%
	Weighted average expected option term (in years)	6.22				6.25				6.25
	Weighted average Company volatility	45.2		%		45.16		%		44.35		%
	Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.15			$	0.15			$	0.15
	Weighted average grant date fair value per option	$	51.51			$	40.59			$	29.81
	The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding to the expected option term. The expected option term represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, based on vesting schedules and the contractual term of the options. Company volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period of time corresponding to the expected option term. Expected dividends are based on the Company’s common stock cash dividend rate at the date of grant.
	The Company has continued to utilize the simplified method to estimate the expected term for its “plain vanilla” stock options granted due to a lack of relevant historical data resulting, in part, from changes in the pool of employees receiving option grants, mainly due to acquisitions. The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of utilizing such method.
	The following summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Warnaco employee stock options that were replaced at the effective time of the acquisition:
	Weighted average risk-free interest rate	0.24		%
	Weighted average expected option term (in years)	1.7
	Weighted average Company volatility	29.4		%
	Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.15
	Weighted average grant date fair value per option	$	40.6
	Service-based stock option activity for the year was as follows:
		Options			Weighted Average				Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
					Price Per Option
	Outstanding at February 3, 2013	1,958			$	44.17			5.4		$	141,117

	Except for the replacement of awards for Warnaco employees, no restricted stock was granted during 2013, 2012 or 2011. At the effective time of the Warnaco acquisition, the aggregate fair value of the Warnaco employee restricted stock awards that were replaced during 2013 was $32,653. The aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock vested during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $26,014, $20,116 and $1,020, respectively.
At February 2, 2014, there was $1,275 of unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 year.
The Company granted contingently issuable performance share units to certain of the Company’s senior executives during the first quarter of each of 2012 and 2013 subject to a performance period of two years and a service period of one year beyond the performance period. The Company granted contingently issuable performance share units to certain of the Company’s senior executives during the first quarter of 2011 subject to a performance period of two years. The Company granted contingently issuable performance share units to certain of the Company’s executives during the second quarter of each of 2010 and 2013 subject to performance periods of three years each. The holders of the awards granted during the second quarter of 2010 that were subject to a performance period of three years earned an aggregate of 498 shares as a result of the Company’s performance during such three-year period. For the awards granted in the second quarter of 2013, the final number of shares that will be earned, if any, is contingent upon the Company’s achievement of goals for the performance period, of which 50 percent is based upon the Company’s absolute stock price growth during the performance period and 50 percent is based upon the Company’s total shareholder return during the performance period relative to other companies included in the S&P 500 as of the date of grant. For the awards granted in the first quarter of 2013, the final number of shares that will be earned, if any, is contingent upon the Company’s achievement of goals for the performance period based on earnings per share growth during the performance cycle. For the awards granted in the first quarter of 2012, the two year performance period has ended and the final number of shares, as determined based on both earnings per share growth and return on equity during the performance period, will vest following the additional one year service period.
For the contingently issuable performance share units granted prior to the second quarter of 2013, the Company records expense ratably over each applicable vesting period based on fair value and the Company’s current expectations of the probable number of shares that will ultimately be issued. The fair value of these contingently issuable performance share units is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced for the present value of any dividends expected to be paid on the Company’s common stock during the performance cycle, as these contingently issuable performance share units do not accrue dividends prior to the completion of the performance cycle.
For the contingently issuable performance share units granted during the second quarter of 2013, because the awards are subject to market conditions, the Company records expense ratably over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures, regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. The fair value of such awards was established on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which was based on the following assumptions:
	2013
Risk-free interest rate	0.34		%
Expected Company volatility	38.67		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.15
Grant date fair value per performance share unit	$	123.27
Performance share activity for the year was as follows:
	Performance			Weighted Average
	Shares			Grant Date
				Fair Value
Non-vested at February 3, 2013	594			$	57.08
Granted	513			122.01
Vested	498			51.07
Cancelled	61			100.24
Non-vested at February 2, 2014	548			$	118.6
Awards granted in the above table reflect performance awards subject to market conditions at the target level, which is consistent with how expense will be recorded, regardless of the number of shares actually earned. Performance awards that are not subject to market conditions are reflected at the maximum level. As of the grant date, the final number of shares that will be earned for the awards granted during 2013 ranges from zero to 833 for the awards with market conditions and from zero to 97 for the awards without market conditions. The share payout will be determined based upon the Company’s achievement of goals for each applicable performance period, as further described above.
The aggregate grant date fair value of performance shares granted during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $62,625, $8,440 and $6,644, respectively. The aggregate grant date fair value of performance shares vested during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $25,436, $5,877 and $6,043, respectively.
At February 2, 2014, based on the Company’s current estimate of the most likely number of shares that will ultimately be issued, there was $39,624 of unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to non-vested performance shares, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.
The Company receives a tax deduction for certain transactions associated with its stock plan awards. The actual income tax benefits realized from these transactions were $69,715, $24,078 and $19,415 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of those amounts, $37,639, $14,889 and $11,593, respectively, were reported as excess tax benefits. Excess tax benefits arise when the actual tax benefit resulting from a stock plan award transaction exceeds the tax benefit associated with the grant date fair value of the related stock award. The Company recognizes these excess tax benefits in additional paid in capital only if an incremental tax benefit would be realized after considering all other tax benefits presently available to the Company.
Total stock awards available for grant at February 2, 2014 amounted to 4,693 shares.

	NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
	In 2012 and 2011, the Company utilized the two-class method of calculating basic net income per common share, as holders of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock participated in dividends with holders of the Company’s common stock prior to the conversion in 2012 of such convertible preferred stock into common stock. Net losses were not allocated to holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock.
	The Company computed its basic and diluted net income per common share as follows:
		2013			2012			2011
	Net income attributable to PVH Corp.	$	143,537		$	433,840		$	275,697
	Less:
	Common stock dividends paid to holders of Series A convertible preferred stock	—			(366		)	(628		)
	Allocation of income to Series A convertible preferred stock	—			(12,179		)	(15,557		)
	Net income available to common stockholders for basic net income per common share	143,537			421,295			259,512
	Add back:
	Common stock dividends paid to holders of Series A convertible preferred stock	—			366			628
	Allocation of income to Series A convertible preferred stock	—			12,179			15,557

	Diluted net income per common share attributable to PVH Corp.	$	1.74		$	5.87		$	3.78
	Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share were as follows:
		2013		2012			2011
	Weighted average potentially dilutive securities	270		305			345
	Contingently issuable shares that have not met the necessary conditions as of the end of a reporting period are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share for that period. The Company had contingently issuable awards outstanding that did not meet the performance conditions as of February 2, 2014, February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012 and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share for each applicable year. The maximum number of potentially dilutive shares that could be issued upon vesting for such awards was 654, 100 and 590 as of February 2, 2014, February 3, 2013 and January 29, 2012, respectively. These amounts were also excluded from the computation of weighted average antidilutive securities in the table above.

	Omitted from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for 2013 were capital expenditures related to property, plant and equipment of $13,624, which will not be paid until 2014. The Company paid $4,184 in cash during 2013 related to property, plant and equipment that was acquired in 2012. This amount is omitted from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for 2012. The Company paid $5,786 in cash during 2012 related to property, plant and equipment that was acquired in 2011. This amount is omitted from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for 2011.

	The Company recorded increases to goodwill of $51,011, $51,715 and $51,309 during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to liabilities incurred for contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein. Such amounts are not due or paid in cash until 45 days subsequent to the Company’s applicable quarter end. As such, during 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company paid $52,773, $50,974 and $50,679, respectively, in cash related to contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein that were recorded as additions to goodwill during the periods the liabilities were incurred.
	During the first quarter of 2013, the Company issued 7,674 shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share (of which 416 shares were issued from treasury stock), as part of the consideration paid to the former stockholders of Warnaco in connection with the acquisition, which resulted in an increase in common stock of $7,258, an increase in additional paid in capital of $888,925 and a decrease in treasury stock of $30,269. In addition, the Company issued awards valued at $39,752 to replace outstanding stock awards made by Warnaco to its employees, which for accounting purposes are included in the total acquisition consideration. Also included in the acquisition consideration was the elimination of a $9,128 pre-acquisition liability to Warnaco.
	During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a loss of $5,757 to write-off previously capitalized debt issuance costs in connection with the modification and extinguishment of its previously outstanding senior secured credit facilities.
	During 2012, the holders of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock converted an aggregate of 8 shares of such convertible preferred stock into 4,189 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in a decrease in Series A convertible preferred stock of $188,595, an increase in common stock of $4,189, and an increase in additional paid in capital of $184,406. Please see Note 12, “Stockholders’ Equity.”
	During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a loss of $12,876 to write off previously capitalized debt issuance costs in connection with the amendment and restatement of its senior secured credit facility.
	During the third quarter of 2011, the Company reacquired the rights in India to the Tommy Hilfiger trademarks that had been subject to a perpetual license. The Company is required to make annual contingent purchase price payments into 2016 (or, under certain circumstances, into 2017) based on a percentage of annual sales over a certain threshold of Tommy Hilfiger products in India. Such payments are subject to a $25,000 aggregate maximum and are due within 60 days following each one-year period. The fair value of such contingent purchase price payments, which was recorded as a liability as of the acquisition date, was estimated to be $9,559 as of the acquisition date.

	GUARANTEES
	The Company guaranteed to a landlord the payment of rent and related costs by the tenant currently occupying space previously leased by the Company. The maximum amount guaranteed as of February 2, 2014 was approximately $3,900, which is subject to exchange rate fluctuation. The Company has the right to seek recourse of approximately $2,500 as of February 2, 2014, which is subject to exchange rate fluctuation. The guarantee expires on May 19, 2016. The estimated fair value of this guarantee obligation was immaterial as of February 2, 2014 and February 3, 2013.
	In connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of Company’s Bass business in 2013, the Company guaranteed lease payments for substantially all Bass retail stores included in the sale pursuant to the terms of noncancelable leases expiring on various dates through 2022. These guarantees include minimum rent payments and relate to leases that commenced prior to the sale of the Bass assets. In certain instances, the Company’s guarantee may remain in effect if an option is exercised to extend the term of the lease. The maximum amount guaranteed as of February 2, 2014 is approximately $78,000 and the Company has the right to seek recourse from the buyer of the Bass assets for the full amount. The estimated fair value of these guarantee obligations as of February 2, 2014 is $4,056, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

	Included in accrued expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are certain wholesale sales allowance accruals of $91,607 and $50,981 as of February 2, 2014 and February 3, 2013, respectively.
	The Company’s asset retirement obligations are included in other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and relate to the Company’s obligation to dismantle or remove leasehold improvements from leased office or retail store locations at the end of a lease term in order to restore a facility to a condition specified in the lease agreement. The Company records the fair value of the liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which it is legally or contractually incurred. Upon initial recognition of the asset retirement liability, an asset retirement cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the asset by the same amount as the liability. In periods subsequent to initial measurement, the asset retirement cost is recognized as expense through depreciation over the asset’s useful life. Changes in the liability for the asset retirement obligations are recognized for the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of estimated cash flows. Accretion expense is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses for the impacts of increasing the discounted fair value to its estimated settlement value.
	The following table presents the activity related to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for each of the last two years:
		2013			2012
	Balance at beginning of year	$	12,503		$	11,709

	Currency translation adjustment	(690		)	(1,198		)
	Balance at end of year	$	16,541		$	12,503
	The results of operations for the year ended February 2, 2014 includes income of $24,309 related to the amendment of an unfavorable contract. At the time of the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition in 2010, a liability was recorded for such unfavorable contract. The amendment executed in 2013 adjusted the contract terms thereby reducing the amount by which the contract was unfavorable and resulted in a reduction of the liability, amounting to $24,309. Please see Note 19, “Segment Data,” for a further discussion.
	The Company is a party to certain litigation which, in management’s judgment, based in part on the opinions of legal counsel, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
	On March 21, 2014 (the “Restatement Date”), the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the 2013 facilities (as amended by the Amendment, the “2014 facilities”).
	Among other things, the Amendment provides for an additional $350,000 principal amount of Term Loan A and an additional $250,000 principal amount of Term Loan B and extends the maturity of the Term Loan A and the revolving credit facilities from February 13, 2018 to February 13, 2019. The maturity of the Term Loan B remains February 13, 2020.
	On the Restatement Date, the Company borrowed the additional $350,000 principal amount of Term Loan A and the additional $250,000 principal amount of Term Loan B made available pursuant to the 2014 facilities.
	The following is a description of the material terms of the 2014 facilities:
	The 2014 facilities consist of a $1,986,250 United States Dollar-denominated Term Loan A, a $1,188,563 United States Dollar-denominated Term Loan B and senior secured revolving credit facilities consisting of (a) a $475,000 United States Dollar denominated revolving credit facility, (b) a $25,000 United States Dollar denominated revolving credit facility available in United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars and (c) a €185,850 Euro-denominated revolving credit facility available in Euro, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen and Swiss Francs.
	The Company has fully drawn the term loans under the 2014 facilities. The revolving credit facilities include amounts available for letters of credit. A portion of each of the United States dollar-denominated revolving credit facilities is also available for the making of swingline loans. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swingline loan reduces the amount available under the applicable revolving credit facility. So long as certain conditions are satisfied, the Company may add one or more term loan facilities or increase the commitments under the revolving credit facilities by an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (1) the sum of (x) $1,350,000 plus (y) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of term loans under the facilities and the revolving credit facilities (to the extent, in the case of voluntary prepayments of loans under the revolving credit facilities, there is an equivalent permanent reduction of the revolving commitments) plus (z) an amount equal to the aggregate revolving commitments of any defaulting lender (to the extent the commitments with respect thereto have been terminated) and (2) an additional unlimited amount as long as the ratio of the Company’s senior secured net debt to consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (in each case calculated as set forth in the documentation relating to the 2014 facilities) would not exceed 3 to 1 after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of such increase. The lenders under the 2014 facilities are not required to provide commitments with respect to such additional facilities or increased commitments.
	Obligations of the Company under the 2014 facilities are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect United States subsidiaries, with certain exceptions. Obligations of the European Borrower under the 2014 facilities are guaranteed by the Company, substantially all of its existing and future direct and indirect United States subsidiaries (with certain exceptions) and Tommy Hilfiger Europe B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company and its domestic subsidiary guarantors have pledged certain of their assets as security for the obligations under the 2014 facilities.
	The terms of the Term Loan A facility require the Company to repay quarterly amounts outstanding under such facility, commencing with the quarter ending June 30, 2014. Such amounts will equal 5.00% per annum of the principal amount outstanding on the Restatement Date for the first eight full calendar quarters following the Restatement Date, 7.50% per annum of the principal amount for the four quarters thereafter and 10.00% per annum of the principal amount for the remaining quarters, in each case paid in equal installments and in each case subject to certain customary adjustments, with the balance due on the maturity date of the Term Loan A facility. The terms of the Term Loan B facility require the Company to repay the outstanding principal amount thereof on the maturity date of the Term Loan B facility. (As of the Restatement Date, the Company had, through voluntary and mandatory prepayments of amounts outstanding under the Term Loan B facility prior to the Restatement Date, reduced the required quarterly principal payments under the Term Loan B facility set forth in the 2013 facilities such that the only remaining payment is the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan B facility on the maturity date of the Term Loan B facility.)
	The outstanding borrowings under the 2014 facilities are prepayable at any time without penalty (other than customary breakage costs and, solely with respect to the Term Loan B facility, any prepayment in connection with a Repricing Event (as defined in the 2014 facilities) that is consummated on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Restatement Date). The terms of the 2014 facilities require the Company to repay certain amounts outstanding thereunder with (a) net cash proceeds of the incurrence of certain indebtedness, (b) net cash proceeds of certain asset sales or other dispositions (including as a result of casualty or condemnation) that exceed certain thresholds, to the extent such proceeds are not reinvested or committed to be reinvested in the business in accordance with customary reinvestment provisions, and (c) a percentage of excess cash flow, which percentage is based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio during the relevant fiscal period.
	The United States Dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2014 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) a one-month adjusted Eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% (provided, that, with respect to the Term Loan B facility, in no event will the base rate be deemed to be less than 1.75%) or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2014 facilities (provided, that, with respect to the Term Loan B facility, in no event will the adjusted Eurocurrency rate be deemed to be less than 0.75%).
	Canadian Dollar-denominated borrowings under the 2014 facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company’s option, either (a) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the rate of interest per annum that Royal Bank of Canada establishes at its main office in Toronto, Ontario as the reference rate of interest in order to determine interest rates for loans in Canadian Dollars to its Canadian borrowers and (ii) the sum of (x) the average of the rates per annum for Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances having a term of one month that appears on the display referred to as “CDOR Page” of Reuters Monitor Money Rate Services as of 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the date of determination, as reported by the administrative agent (and if such screen is not available, any successor or similar service as may be selected by the administrative agent), and (y) 0.75%, or (b) an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2014 facilities.
	The borrowings under the 2014 facilities in currencies other than United States Dollars or Canadian Dollars bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus an adjusted Eurocurrency rate, calculated in a manner set forth in the 2014 facilities.
	The initial applicable margin with respect to the Term Loan A facility and each revolving credit facility will be 1.75% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 0.75% for base rate loans, respectively. The initial applicable margin with respect to the Term Loan B facility will be 2.50% for adjusted Eurocurrency rate loans and 1.50% for base rate loans, respectively. After the date of delivery of the compliance certificate and financial statements with respect to the Company’s fiscal quarter in which the Amendment occurred (i.e., the Company’s fiscal quarter ending May 4, 2014), the applicable margin for borrowings under the Term Loan A facility, the Term Loan B facility and the revolving credit facilities will be subject to adjustment based upon the Company’s net leverage ratio.
	The 2014 facilities require the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants. The 2014 facilities require the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum net leverage ratio. The method of calculating all of the components used in such financial covenants is set forth in the 2014 facilities.
	The 2014 facilities contain customary events of default, including but not limited to nonpayment; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; cross-default to material indebtedness; certain material judgments; certain events related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; certain events related to certain of the guarantees by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and certain pledges of its assets and those of certain of its subsidiaries, as security for the obligations under the 2014 facilities; and a change in control (as defined in the 2014 facilities).
	On March 24, 2014, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding 7 3/8% senior notes due May 15, 2020 (the “Notes”), representing an aggregate principal amount of $600,000. The redemption price of the Notes was 111.272% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. The Notes were issued and the redemption was effected pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, dated as of May 6, 2010, between the Company and U.S. National Bank Association, as trustee, as amended.

SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Feb. 02, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities that the Company does not control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s Consolidated Income Statements include its proportionate share of the net income or loss of these entities.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates.
Fiscal Period [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fiscal Year — The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to February 1. References to a year are to the Company’s fiscal year, unless the context requires otherwise. Results for 2013, 2012 and 2011 represent the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2014, 53 weeks ended February 3, 2013 and 52 weeks ended January 29, 2012, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company’s balances of cash and cash equivalents at February 2, 2014 consisted principally of bank deposits and investments in money market funds.
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable, as presented on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, is net of allowances. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined through an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable and assessments of collectibility based on historic trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers and an evaluation of economic conditions. The Company writes off uncollectible trade receivables once collection efforts have been exhausted and third parties confirm the balance is not recoverable. Costs associated with allowable customer markdowns and operational chargebacks, net of the expected recoveries, are part of the provision for allowances included in accounts receivable. These provisions result from seasonal negotiations, as well as historic deduction trends net of expected recoveries, and the evaluation of current market conditions.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill annually, at the beginning of the third quarter of each fiscal year, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that fair value of the reporting unit may have been reduced below its carrying amount. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets, a reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment, called a component. However, two or more components of an operating segment will be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. In 2012, the Company adopted new authoritative accounting guidance that allows it to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the more detailed two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company performs the quantitative test if its qualitative assessment determined it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test for any reporting unit. When performing the quantitative test, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill is determined to exceed the implied fair value of that goodwill. The estimated fair value of a reporting unit is calculated using a discounted cash flow model.
	Indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually, at the beginning of the third quarter of each fiscal year, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. In 2012, the Company also adopted new authoritative accounting guidance that allows it to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a more detailed quantitative impairment test for its indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company performs the quantitative test if its qualitative assessment determined it was more likely than not that the assets are impaired. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test. When performing the quantitative test, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is determined using the estimated discounted cash flows associated with the asset’s use. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment along with other long-lived assets as described below.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Intangible Assets, Impairment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Asset Impairments — The Company reviews for and records impairment losses on long-lived assets (excluding goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets) in accordance with FASB guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company records impairment losses when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the related assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. Please see Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements” for a further discussion.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Inventories — Inventories are comprised principally of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for principally all wholesale apparel inventories in North America and certain wholesale and retail apparel inventories in Asia and Latin America is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost for all other inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company reviews current business trends, inventory agings and discontinued merchandise categories to determine adjustments, which it estimates will be needed to liquidate existing clearance inventories and reduce inventories to the lower of cost or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is generally provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a straight-line basis. The range of useful lives is principally as follows:  Buildings and building improvements: 15-40 years; machinery, software and equipment: 2-10 years; furniture and fixtures: 2-10 years; and fixtures located in third party customer locations (“shop-in-shops”) and their related costs: 3-5 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. In certain circumstances, contractual renewal options are considered when determining the term of the related lease. Major additions and betterments are capitalized, and repairs and maintenance are charged to operations in the period incurred.
Lease, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Leases — The Company leases retail locations, warehouses, showrooms, office space and equipment. Assets held under capital leases are included in property, plant and equipment and are amortized over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. The Company accounts for rent expense under non-cancelable operating leases with scheduled rent increases and rent holidays on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company determines the lease term at the inception of a lease by assuming the exercise of those renewal options that are reasonably assured because of the significant economic penalty that exists for not exercising those options. The excess of straight-line rent expense over scheduled payments is recorded as a deferred liability. In addition, the Company receives build out contributions from landlords primarily as an incentive for the Company to lease retail store space from the landlords. Such amounts are amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the life of the related lease.
Revenue Recognition, Sales of Goods [Policy Text Block]	'
	Revenue from the Company’s wholesale operations is recognized at the time title to the goods passes and the risk of loss is transferred to customers. For sales by the Company’s retail stores, revenue is recognized when goods are sold to consumers.
Revenue Recognition, Sales Returns and Discounts [Policy Text Block]	'
	Allowances for estimated returns and discounts are provided when sales are recorded.
Revenue Recognition, Services, Royalty Fees [Policy Text Block]	'
	Royalty revenue for licensees whose sales exceed contractual sales minimums, including licensee contributions toward advertising, is recognized when licensed products are sold as reported by the Company’s licensees. For licensees whose sales do not exceed contractual sales minimums, royalty revenue is recognized ratably based on contractual requirements for the timing of minimum payments.
Revenue Recognition, Gift Cards [Policy Text Block]	'
	The Company sells gift cards to customers in its retail stores. The Company does not charge administrative fees on gift cards, nor do they expire. Upon the purchase of a gift card by a customer, a liability is established for the cash value of the gift card. The liability is relieved and revenue is recognized when the gift card is redeemed by the customer or if the Company determines that the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed is remote (also known as “gift card breakage”) and that it does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of such unredeemed gift card to any jurisdiction.
Revenue Recognition, Incentives [Policy Text Block]	'
	Sales Incentives — The Company uses certain sales incentive programs related to certain of the Company’s retail operations, such as customer loyalty programs and the issuance of coupons. The Company’s loyalty programs are structured such that customers receive gift cards for future use after specified levels of spending are achieved within a specified time period. Costs associated with the Company’s loyalty programs are recorded ratably as a cost of goods sold based on enrolled customers’ spending. Costs associated with coupons are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of coupon redemption.
Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cost of Goods Sold and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses — Costs associated with the production and procurement of product are included in cost of goods sold, including inbound freight costs, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs and other product procurement related charges. All other expenses, excluding interest and income taxes, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, including warehousing and distribution expenses, as the predominant expenses associated therewith are general and administrative in nature, including rent, utilities and payroll.
Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Shipping and Handling Fees — Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net sales.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Advertising — Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Costs associated with cooperative advertising programs, under which the Company shares the cost of a customer’s advertising expenditures, are treated as a reduction of revenue.
Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy, Gross and Net Revenue Disclosure [Policy Text Block]	'Sales Taxes b The Company accounts for sales taxes and other related taxes on a net basis, excluding such taxes from revenue.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income Taxes — Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be realized.
	Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amount of deductible and taxable items, evaluating tax positions and in determining the income tax provision. The Company recognizes income tax benefits only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be fully sustained upon review by taxing authorities, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. If the recognition threshold is met, the Company measures the tax benefit at the largest amount with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. For tax positions that are 50 percent or less likely of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of that benefit in the financial statements. When the outcome of these tax matters changes, the change in estimate impacts the provision for income taxes in the period that such a determination is made. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Company’s income tax provision.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions — The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in United States dollars. If the functional currency of a foreign subsidiary is not the United States dollar, assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the applicable balance sheet date and revenue and expenses are translated to United States dollars at the average exchange rate for the applicable period. Any adjustments resulting from such translation are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Gains and losses on the translation of intercompany loans made between foreign subsidiaries that are of a long-term investment nature are also included in AOCI. Transaction gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a particular entity are principally included in selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled a loss of $4,586, $1,911 and $5,729 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Financial Instruments — The Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to certain anticipated cash flows associated with certain international inventory purchases. In addition, the Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain intercompany loans. To help manage these exposures, the Company uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The Company also has exposure to interest rate volatility related to its senior secured term loan facilities. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against this exposure. The Company had also entered into an interest rate cap agreement, which expired on September 6, 2012. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company records the foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate contracts at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets, and does not net the related assets and liabilities. The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts is measured as the total amount of currency to be purchased, multiplied by the difference between (i) the forward rate as of the period end and (ii) the settlement rate specified in each contract. The fair values of the interest rate contracts are based on observable interest rate yield curves and represent the expected discounted cash flows underlying the financial instruments. Changes in fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts associated with certain international inventory purchases and the interest rate contracts (collectively referred to as “cash flow hedges”) that are designated as effective hedging instruments are recorded in equity as a component of AOCI. Any ineffectiveness in such cash flow hedges is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company records immediately in earnings changes in the fair value of hedges that are not designated as effective hedging instruments, including all of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to intercompany loans, which are not of a long-term investment nature. Any gains and losses that are immediately recognized in earnings on such contracts related to intercompany loans are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying intercompany loan balances. Cash flows from the Company’s derivative instruments are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same category as the items being hedged.
Debt, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Balance Sheet Classification of Early Settlements of Long-Term Obligations — The Company classifies obligations settled after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements based on the contractual payment terms of the underlying agreements.
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — Employee pension benefits earned during the year, as well as interest on the projected benefit obligations or accumulated benefit obligations, are accrued quarterly. Prior service costs and credits resulting from changes in plan benefits are generally amortized over the average remaining service period of the employees expected to receive benefits. The expected return on plan assets is recognized quarterly and determined by applying the assumed return on assets to the actual fair value of plan assets adjusted for expected benefit payments, contributions and plan expenses. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the Company’s operating results in the year in which they occur. These gains and losses are measured at least annually at the end of the Company’s fiscal year and, as such, are generally recorded during the fourth quarter of each year.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Stock-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. Please see Note 13, “Stock-Based Compensation” for a further discussion.

Business Combinations [Abstract]	'
Acquisition consideration [Table Text Block]	'
	The acquisition date fair value of the acquisition consideration paid at closing totaled $3,137,056, which consisted of the following:
	Cash	$	2,179,980
	Common stock (7,674 shares, par value $1.00 per share)	926,452
	Warnaco employee replacement stock awards	39,752
	Elimination of pre-acquisition liability to Warnaco	(9,128		)
	Total fair value of the acquisition consideration	$	3,137,056
	The fair value of the 7,674 common shares issued was equal to the aggregate value of the shares at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on February 12, 2013, the day prior to the closing. The value of the replacement stock awards was determined by multiplying the estimated fair value of the Warnaco awards outstanding at the time of the acquisition, reduced by an estimated value of awards to be forfeited, by the proportionate amount of the vesting period that had lapsed as of the acquisition date. Also included in the acquisition consideration was the elimination of a $9,128 pre-acquisition liability to Warnaco.
Business Acquisition, Pro Forma Information [Table Text Block]	'
	The following table presents the Company’s pro forma consolidated results of operations for the year ended February 2, 2014 and February 3, 2013, as if the acquisition and the related financing transactions had occurred on January 30, 2012 (the first day of its fiscal year ended February 3, 2013) instead of on February 13, 2013. The pro forma results were calculated applying the Company’s accounting policies and reflect (i) the impact on revenue, cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from the elimination of intercompany transactions; (ii) the impact on depreciation and amortization expense based on fair value adjustments to Warnaco’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition; (iii) the impact on interest expense resulting from changes to the Company’s capital structure in connection with the acquisition; (iv) the impact on cost of goods sold resulting from acquisition date adjustments to the fair value of inventory; (v) the elimination of transaction costs related to the acquisition that were included in the Company’s results of operations for the years ended February 2, 2014 and February 3, 2013; and (vi) the tax effects of the above adjustments. The pro forma results do not include any realized or anticipated cost synergies or other effects of the integration of Warnaco. Accordingly, such pro forma amounts are not indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on January 30, 2012, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of the combined company.

Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Nonrecurring Basis and Recorded Impairment [Table Text Block]	'
	The following table shows the fair value of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were required to be remeasured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (consisting of property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets) during 2013 and 2012, and the total impairments recorded as a result of the remeasurement process:

	2012	N/A		N/A		$	2,229			$	2,229			$	7,475
	Long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $8,668 were written down to a fair value of $1,072 during 2013 in connection with the financial performance in certain of the Company’s retail stores. Fair value was determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using current sales trends and market participant assumptions. The impairment charge of $7,596 was included in selling, general and administrative expenses, of which $808 was recorded in the Calvin Klein North America segment, $947 was recorded in the Calvin Klein International segment, $3,121 was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment, $2,226 was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger International segment and $494 was recorded in the Heritage Brands Retail segment.
	Long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $1,161 were written down to a fair value of zero during 2013 in connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Bass business. The impairment charge was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Heritage Brands Retail segment.
	Long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $259 were written down to a fair value of zero during 2012 in connection with the exit of a facility as part of the Company’s integration of Tommy Hilfiger. Such assets were deemed to have no future use or economic benefit based on the Company’s analysis using market participant assumptions, and therefore no expected future cash flows. The impairment charge was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in corporate expenses not allocated to any reportable segment.
	Long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $9,445 were written down to a fair value of $2,229 during 2012 in connection with the financial performance in certain of the Company’s retail stores. Fair value was determined based on the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using current sales trends and market participant assumptions. The impairment charge of $7,216 was included in selling, general and administrative expenses, of which $671 was recorded in the Heritage Brands Retail segment, $281 was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger North America segment and $6,264 was recorded in the Tommy Hilfiger International segment.
	In connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Bass business in 2013, the Company guaranteed lease payments for substantially all of the business’ retail stores under the current terms of noncancelable leases expiring on various dates through 2022. These guarantees include minimum rent payments and relate to leases that commenced prior to the sale of the Bass assets. In certain instances, the Company’s guarantee may remain in effect if an option is exercised to extend the term of the lease. The estimated fair value of these guarantee obligations as of February 2, 2014 is $4,056, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company classifies this as a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of such guarantee obligations was determined using the discounted cash flow method, based on the guaranteed lease payments, the estimated probability of lease extensions and estimates of the risk of default by the buyer of the Bass assets, and was discounted using rates of return that account for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows.
Fair Value, by Balance Sheet Grouping [Table Text Block]	'
	The carrying amounts and the fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings and long-term debt were as follows:

	The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using quoted market prices as of the last business day of the applicable year. The Company classifies the measurement of its long-term debt as a Level 1 measurement.

	The medical health care cost trend rate assumed for 2014 is 6.17% and is assumed to decrease by approximately 0.14% per year through 2023. Thereafter, the rate assumed is 4.95%. If the assumed health care cost trend rate increased or decreased by 1%, the aggregate effect on the service and interest cost components of the net postretirement benefit cost for 2013 and on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at February 2, 2014 would be as follows:
		1% Increase				1% Decrease
	Impact on service and interest cost	$	81			$	(69	)
	Impact on year end accumulated postretirement benefit obligation	1,060				(970		)
Schedule of Assumptions Used [Table Text Block]	'
	Significant weighted average rate assumptions used in determining the projected and accumulated benefit obligations at the end of each year and benefit cost in the following year were as follows:
		2013			2012			2011
	Discount rate	5.07	%		4.67	%		5.06	%
	Rate of increase in compensation levels (applies to Pension Plans only)	4.33	%		4.34	%		4.31	%
	Long-term rate of return on assets (applies to Pension Plans only)	7.25	%		7.25	%		7.75	%
	To develop the expected weighted average long-term rate of return on assets assumption, the Company considered the historical level of the risk premium associated with the asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for future returns of each asset class. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the portfolio.

	Weighted average grant date fair value per option	$	51.51			$	40.59			$	29.81
	The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding to the expected option term. The expected option term represents the weighted average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, based on vesting schedules and the contractual term of the options. Company volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period of time corresponding to the expected option term. Expected dividends are based on the Company’s common stock cash dividend rate at the date of grant.
