Disclosure Text Block [Abstract]
Nature of Operations [Text Block]	Note 1. Nature of Operations Trans World Entertainment Corporation and subsidiaries (“the Company”) operates in two reportable segments: fye and etailz. The fye segment operates a chain of retail entertainment stores and e-commerce sites, www.fye.com www.secondspin.com Liquidity and Cash Flows: The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, available cash and cash equivalents, and cash generated from operations. Management anticipates any cash requirements due to a shortfall in cash from operations will be funded by the Company’s revolving credit facility, as discussed in note 8 in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. In connection with the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated and concluded there are no conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year following the date that these financial statements are issued.

Basis of Presentation

Disclosure Text Block [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting [Text Block]	Note 2. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements consist of Trans World Entertainment Corporation, Record Town, Inc. (“Record Town”), Record Town’s subsidiaries and etailz, Inc., all of which are wholly-owned. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all normal, recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of such financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations applicable to interim financial statements. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes as of and for the year ended February 3, 2018 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed May 4, 2018. The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending February 2, 2019. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2018. There have been no material changes to the accounting policies applied to our consolidated results and footnote disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. On February 4, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this ASU impacted the timing of revenue recognition for gift card breakage. Prior to adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, gift card breakage was recognized at the point gift card redemption became remote. In accordance with this ASU, the Company will recognize gift card breakage in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer. The adoption of this ASU also impacted presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements related to sales return reserves. The cumulative effect of initially applying ASU No. 2014-09 was a $0.5 million decrease to the opening balance of retained earnings as of February 4, 2018. The comparative prior period information continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect during those periods.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”, which will replace most existing lease accounting guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of this ASU is that an entity should recognize the rights and obligations resulting from leases as assets and liabilities. The new standard requires qualitative and specific quantitative disclosures to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The new standard will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning February 3, 2019, and requires the modified retrospective method of adoption. Management is progressing with implementation and continuing to evaluate the effect to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. Given the nature of the operating leases for the Company’s home office, distribution center, and retail stores, the Company expects an increase to the carrying value of its assets and liabilities.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Our goodwill results from our acquisition of etailz and represents the excess purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired. All of our goodwill is associated with etailz, a separate reporting unit, and there is no goodwill associated with our other reporting unit, fye. Goodwill is not amortized and we are required to evaluate our goodwill for impairment at least annually or whenever indicators of impairment are present. Our annual test is completed during the fourth fiscal quarter, and interim tests are conducted when circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill or other intangible assets may not be recoverable. Estimating the fair value of reporting units requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is possible that these judgments and estimates could change in future periods. The determination of the fair value of intangible assets and liabilities acquired in a business acquisition is subject to certain estimates and assumptions. Our identifiable intangible assets that resulted from our acquisition of etailz consist of vendor relationships, technology, and trade names and trademarks. We review amortizable intangible asset groups for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Identifiable intangible assets as of November 3, 2018 consisted of the following ($ in thousands): Weighted Original Gross Accumulated Net Carrying Vendor relationships 120 $ 19,100 $ 3,918 $ 15,182 Technology 60 6,700 2,743 3,957 Trade names and trademarks 60 3,200 1,287 1,913 $ 29,000 $ 7,948 $ 21,052 The changes in net intangibles and goodwill from February 3, 2018 to November 3, 2018 were as follows: ($ in thousands) February 3, Amortization November 3, Amortized intangible assets: Vendor relationships $ 16,612 $ 1,430 $ 15,182 Technology 4,962 1,005 3,957 Trade names and trademarks 2,393 480 1,913 Net amortized intangible assets $ 23,967 $ 2,915 $ 21,052 Unamortized intangible assets: Goodwill $ 39,191 $ - $ 39,191 Total unamortized intangible assets $ 39,191 $ - $ 39,191 Amortization expense of intangible assets for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 consisted of the following: Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-nine Weeks Ended ($ in thousands) November 3, October 28, November 3, October 28, Amortized intangible assets: Vendor relationships $ 477 $ 478 $ 1,430 $ 1,432 Technology 335 335 1,005 1,005 Trade names and trademarks 160 160 480 480 Total amortization expense $ 972 $ 973 $ 2,915 $ 2,917 Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of fiscal 2018 and the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter is as follows: Year Annual ( $ in thousands) 2018 $972 2019 3,890 2020 3,890 2021 3,325 2022 1,910 2023 1,910 Thereafter 5,155

Disclosure Text Block [Abstract]
Short-term Debt [Text Block]	Note 8. Short Term Borrowings In January 2017, the Company entered into a $50 million asset based credit facility (“Credit Facility”) which amended the previous credit facility. The principal amount of all outstanding loans under the Credit Facility, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, are due and payable in January 2022, unless otherwise paid earlier pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility. Payments of amounts due under the Credit Facility are secured by the assets of the Company. The Credit Facility contains a provision to increase availability to $75 million during October to December of each year, as needed. The availability under the Credit Facility is subject to limitations based on receivables and inventory levels. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on dividends and share repurchases, incurrence of additional indebtedness and acquisitions and covenants around the net number of store closings and restrictions related to the payment of cash dividends and share repurchases, including limiting the amount of dividends and share repurchases to $5.0 million annually and not allowing borrowings under the amended facility for the six months before or six months after the dividend payment. The Credit Facility also includes customary events of default, including, among other things, material adverse effect, bankruptcy, and certain changes of control. As of November 3, 2018, the Company was compliant with all covenants. On October 29, 2018, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Wells Fargo in accordance with the Credit Facility in which Wells Fargo provided consent to the Company exceeding the permitted number of store closures and related inventory dispositions. Interest under the Credit Facility will accrue, at the election of the Company, at a Base Rate or LIBO Rate, plus, in each case, an Applicable Margin, which is determined by reference to the level of availability, with the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate loans ranging from 1.75% to 2.00% and the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate loans ranging from 0.75% to 1.00%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.25% is also payable on unused commitments. As of November 3, 2018, borrowings under the credit facility were $27.4 million compared to $5.0 million as of October 28, 2017. The Company had $22.1 million and $49.0 million available for borrowing as of November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. As of November 3, 2018, and as of October 28, 2017 the Company did not have any outstanding letters of credit. The Company records short term borrowings at cost, in which the carrying value approximates fair value due to its short term maturity.

Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans [Text Block]	Note 11. Defined Benefit Plan The Company maintains a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for a limited number of executive officers of the Company. The SERP provides eligible executives defined pension benefits that supplement benefits under other retirement arrangements. During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018, the Company did not make any cash contributions to the SERP and presently expects to pay approximately $1.2 million in benefits relating to the SERP during fiscal 2018. The measurement date for the SERP is the fiscal year end, using actuarial techniques which reflect estimates for mortality, turnover and expected retirement. In addition, management makes assumptions concerning future salary increases. Discount rates are generally established as of the measurement date using theoretical bond models that select high-grade corporate bonds with maturities or coupons that correlate to the expected payouts of the applicable liabilities. The following represents the components of the net periodic pension cost related to the Company’s SERP for the respective periods: Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-nine Weeks Ended November 3, October 28, November 3, October 28, ($ in thousands) 2018 2017 2018 2017 Service cost $14 $16 $42 $48 Interest cost 140 139 420 417 Amortization of net gain (1) (5) (5) (15) (15) Net periodic pension cost $149 $150 $447 $450 (1) The amortization of net gain is related to a director retirement plan previously provided by the Company.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	Note 12. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock (net of any assumed repurchases) that then shared in the earnings of the Company, if any. It is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average shares outstanding and additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued for the Company’s common stock awards from the Company’s Stock Award Plans. For the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, the impact of all outstanding stock awards was not considered because the Company reported a net loss and such impact would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share is the same. Total anti-dilutive stock awards for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2018 were approximately 3.1 million shares and 3.0 million shares, respectively, as compared to 2.6 million shares for both, thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 28, 2017.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 13. Income Taxes In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income. Management considers the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on available objective evidence, management concluded that a full valuation allowance should continue to be recorded against the Company’s deferred tax assets. Management will continue to assess the need for and amount of the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets by giving consideration to all available evidence to the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income in its conclusion of the need for a full valuation allowance. Any reversal of the Company’s valuation allowance will favorably impact its results of operations in the period of reversal. The Company is currently unable to determine whether or when that reversal might occur, but it will continue to assess the realizability of its deferred tax assets and will adjust the valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will become realizable in the future. The Company has significant net operating loss carry forwards and other tax attributes that are available to offset projected taxable income and current taxes payable, if any, for the year ending February 2, 2019. The deferred tax impact resulting from the utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards and other tax attributes will be offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance. As of February 3, 2018, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of $208.3 million for federal income tax purposes and approximately $273.4 million for state income tax purposes that expire at various times through 2037 and are subject to certain limitations and statutory expiration periods. The Company has also recorded $0.1 million of deferred tax liability relating to the etailz segment that relates to state income tax returns that do not allow consolidated filing. The Company has not changed its overall conclusion with respect to the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, which remain fully reserved.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of its business and have not been finally adjudicated. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate disposition of these matters, it is management’s opinion, based upon the information available at this time, that the expected outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Loyalty Memberships and Magazine Subscriptions Class Action On November 14, 2018, three consumers filed a putative class action complaint against Trans World Entertainment Corporation and Synapse Group, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts Boston Division (Case No.1:18-cv-12377-DPW) concerning enrollment in the Company’s Backstage Pass VIP loyalty program and associated magazine subscriptions. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company’s “negative option marketing” misled consumers into enrolling for membership and subscriptions without obtaining the consumers’ consent. The complaint seeks statutory and actual damages. The Company is reviewing the claims. Store Manager Class Actions Two former Store Managers filed actions alleging claims of entitlement to unpaid compensation for overtime. In one action, the plaintiff seeks to represent a class of allegedly similarly situated employees who performed the same position (Store Manager and Senior Assistant Manager) while the other plaintiff seeks to represent a class of allegedly similarly situated employees who performed the same position (Store Manager). Specifically, Carol Spack filed a complaint against Trans World Entertainment Corporation (Trans World) in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, on April 20, 2017 (Case No.: 3:17-cv-02687-BRM-LHG) alleging that she is entitled to unpaid compensation for overtime under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). She brings a nationwide collective action under the FLSA on behalf of all Store Managers and Senior Assistant Managers. She also brings class action claims under New Jersey and Pennsylvania law on behalf of all persons who worked as Store Managers in New Jersey or Senior Assistant Managers in Pennsylvania. On May 19, 2017, Natasha Roper filed a complaint against Trans World in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York (Case No.: 1:17-cv-0553-TJM-CFH) in which she also alleges that she is entitled to unpaid compensation for overtime under the FLSA Ms. Roper brings a nationwide collective action under the FLSA on behalf of all similarly situated Store Managers. Legal matters are defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. The Company has not established an accrual for the matters noted above as a loss is not considered to be probable and reasonably estimable. It is the opinion of management that facts known at the present time do not indicate that such litigation will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description	In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requiresan entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or servicesto customers. On February 4, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoptionof this ASU impacted the timing of revenue recognition for gift card breakage. Prior to adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, gift cardbreakage was recognized at the point gift card redemption became remote. In accordance with this ASU, the Company will recognizegift card breakage in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer. The adoption of this ASU also impacted presentationof our condensed consolidated financial statements related to sales return reserves. The cumulative effect of initially applyingASU No. 2014-09 was a $0.5 million decrease to the opening balance of retained earnings as of February 4, 2018.

New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description	In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”,which will replace most existing lease accounting guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of this ASU is that an entity shouldrecognize the rights and obligations resulting from leases as assets and liabilities. The new standard requires qualitative andspecific quantitative disclosures to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand moreabout the nature of an entity’s leasing activities, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The new standardwill be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning February 3, 2019, and requires the modified retrospective methodof adoption. Management is progressing with implementation and continuing to evaluate the effect to the Company’s ConsolidatedFinancial Statements and disclosures. Given the nature of the operating leases for the Company’s home office, distributioncenter, and retail stores, the Company expects an increase to the carrying value of its assets and liabilities.
