Sears Holdings Corporation distributed 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Lands’ End to its shareholders on April 4, 2014.
	A Registration Statement on Form 10 relating to the Separation was filed by the Company with the SEC, and was subsequently amended by the Company and declared effective by the SEC on March 17, 2014. The Company’s common stock began “regular way” trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market after the distribution date under the symbol “LE”.
	Prior to the completion of the Separation, Sears Holdings transferred all the remaining assets and liabilities of Lands’ End that were held by Sears Holdings to Lands’ End or its subsidiaries. Lands’ End also paid a dividend of $500.0 million to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corporation.
	Basis of Presentation
	The financial statements presented herein represent (i) periods prior to April 4, 2014 when Lands' End was a wholly owned subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corporation (referred to as “Combined Financial Statements”) and (ii) the period as of and subsequent to April 4, 2014 when Lands' End became a separate publicly-traded company (referred to as “Consolidated Financial Statements”).
	The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Lands' End, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
	The accompanying Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been reflected. Dollar amounts are reported in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise noted.
	Our historical Combined Financial Statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Sears Holdings. The Combined Financial Statements include Lands’ End, Inc. and subsidiaries and certain other items related to the Lands’ End business which were held by Sears Holdings prior to the Separation. These items were contributed by Sears Holdings to Lands’ End, Inc. prior to the Separation. These historical Combined Financial Statements reflect the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.
	The Combined Balance Sheets include the allocation of certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held by Sears Holdings but which are specifically identifiable or allocable to Lands’ End. All intracompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Prior to the Separation, all intercompany transactions between Sears Holdings and Lands’ End were considered to be effectively settled in the Combined Financial Statements at the time the transactions were recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity and in the Combined Balance Sheets as Net parent company investment.
	Through April 4, 2014, Sears Holdings Corporation’s investment in Lands’ End is shown as Net parent company investment in the Combined Balance Sheet. Upon completion of the Separation, the Company had 31,956,521 shares of common stock outstanding at a par value of $0.01 per share. After Separation adjustments were recorded, the remaining Net parent company investment, which includes all earnings prior to Separation, was transferred to Additional paid-in capital.
	As a business operation of Sears Holdings, Lands' End did not maintain its own tax and certain other corporate support functions prior to the Separation. Lands' End entered into agreements with Sears Holdings for the continuation of certain of these services, as well as to support the Lands' End Shops at Sears. These expenses had been allocated to Lands’ End based on direct usage or benefit where identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis based upon revenue, headcount, square footage or other measures. Lands’ End considers the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, the costs and allocations charged to the Company by Sears Holdings do not necessarily reflect the costs of obtaining the services from unaffiliated third parties or of the Company providing the applicable services itself. The historical Combined Financial Statements contained herein may not be indicative of the Company’s financial position, operating results, and cash flows in the future, or what they would have been if it had been a stand-alone company during all periods presented. See Note 10 - Related Party Agreements and Transactions.
	Prior to the Separation, Sears Holdings provided financing, cash management and other treasury services to Lands' End. Sears Holdings used a centralized approach to its United States domestic cash management and financing of its operations. The majority of the Company's cash was transferred to Sears Holdings on a daily basis. Sears Holdings was also the Company's only source of funding for its operating and investing activities. Upon Separation, cash and restricted cash held by Sears Holdings were not allocated to Lands’ End unless the cash or restricted cash was held by an entity that was transferred to Lands’ End. Sears Holdings’ third-party debt, and the related interest expense, was not allocated to Lands' End for any of the periods presented as it was not the legal obligor of the debt and the Sears Holdings' borrowings were not directly attributable to the Company's business.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Fiscal Year
	The Company’s fiscal year end is on the Friday preceding the Saturday closest to January 31 each year. Fiscal Years 2014 and 2013 each consisted of 52 weeks while Fiscal Year 2012 consisted of 53 weeks. Unless the context otherwise requires. The following fiscal periods are presented in this report.
	Fiscal Year		Ended		Weeks
	2014		30-Jan-15		52
	2013		31-Jan-14		52
	2012		1-Feb-13		53
	Seasonality
	The Company’s operations have historically been seasonal, with a disproportionate amount of net sales occurring in the fourth fiscal quarter, reflecting increased demand during the year-end holiday selling season. The impact of seasonality on results of operations is more pronounced since the level of certain fixed costs, such as occupancy and overhead expenses, do not vary with sales. The Company’s results of operations also may fluctuate based upon such factors as the timing of certain holiday seasons and promotions, the amount of net sales contributed by new and existing stores, the timing and level of markdowns, competitive factors, weather and general economic conditions.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportable amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Cash and cash equivalents
	The Company includes deposits in-transit from banks for payments related to third-party credit card and debit card transactions within cash.
	Restricted cash
	The Company classifies cash balances pledged as collateral for an employee benefit trust fund as Restricted cash on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets.
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on both historical experience and specific identification. Allowances for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable balances were $0.7 million and $1.0 million as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively. Accounts receivable balance is presented net of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and is comprised of various customer-related accounts receivable.
	Changes in the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows for the following years:
	(in thousands)	Fiscal 2014				Fiscal 2013				Fiscal 2012
	Beginning balance	$	1,031			$	1,316			$	1,293
	Provision	371				444				721
	Write-offs	(714		)		(729		)		(698		)
	Ending balance	$	688			$	1,031			$	1,316
	Inventory
	Inventories primarily consist of merchandise purchased for resale. For financial reporting and tax purposes, the Company’s United States inventory, primarily merchandise held for sale, is stated at last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) cost, which is lower than market. The Company accounts for its non-United States inventory on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The United States inventory accounted for using the LIFO method was 83% and 85% of total inventory as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively. If the FIFO method of accounting for inventory had been used, the effect on inventory would have been immaterial as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014.
	The Company maintains a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory. The reserve is calculated based on historical experience related to liquidation/disposal of identified inventory. The excess and obsolescence reserve balances were $18.2 million and $26.0 million January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively.
	Deferred Catalog Costs and Marketing
	Costs incurred for direct response marketing consist primarily of catalog production and mailing costs that are generally amortized within two months from the date catalogs are mailed. Unamortized marketing costs reported as prepaid assets were $20.7 million and $15.6 million as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively. The Company expenses the costs of marketing for website, magazines, newspaper, radio and other general media when the marketing takes place. Marketing expenses, including catalog costs amortization, website-related costs and other print media were $208.0 million, $198.6 million and $204.1 million for Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively. These costs are included within Selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Additions and substantial improvements are capitalized and include expenditures that materially extend the useful lives of existing facilities and equipment. Maintenance and repairs that do not materially improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. As of the balance sheet dates, Property and equipment, net consisted of the following:
	(in thousands)	Asset Lives		30-Jan-15			31-Jan-14
	Land	—		3,529			3,563
	Buildings and improvements	15-30		100,583			101,249
	Furniture, fixtures and equipment	10-Mar		76,938			75,625
	Computer hardware and software	5-Mar		73,062			65,810
	Leasehold improvements	7-Mar		12,781			12,517
	Gross property and equipment			266,893			258,764
	Accumulated depreciation			(165,670	)		(157,668	)
	Total property and equipment, net			101,223			101,096
	Depreciation expense is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the associated lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation expense included within Depreciation and amortization expense reported in the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations was $17.1 million, $19.0 million and $20.5 million for Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
	Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets (customer lists) are subject to a review for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows generated by an asset or asset group is less than its carrying amount, the Company then determines the fair value of the asset generally by using a discounted cash flow model. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value as determined based on quoted market prices or through the use of other valuation techniques. There were no impairments recognized in Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 or Fiscal 2012.
	Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment Assessments
	Goodwill, trade name and other intangible assets are tested separately for impairment on an annual basis, or are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The majority of the Company's goodwill and intangible assets relate to Kmart Holding Corporation’s acquisition of Sears Roebuck in March 2005. The calculation for an impairment loss compares the carrying value of the asset to that asset’s estimated fair value, which may be based on estimated future discounted cash flows or quoted market prices. Lands' End recognizes an impairment loss if the asset’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value.
	Frequently the Company's impairment loss calculations contain multiple uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future cash flows and asset fair values, including forecasting cash flows under different scenarios. Lands' End performs annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests on the last day of the Company's November accounting period each year and updates the tests between annual tests if events or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. However, if actual results are not consistent with the Company's estimates and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, the Company may be exposed to losses that could be material.
	Goodwill impairment assessments. The Company's goodwill resides in the Direct reporting unit. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. Lands' End estimates fair value using the best information available, using both a market approach, as well as a discounted cash flow model, commonly referred to as the income approach. The market approach determines a value of the reporting unit by deriving market multiples for the reporting unit based on assumptions potential market participants would use in establishing a bid price for the reporting unit. This approach therefore assumes strategic initiatives will result in improvements in operational performance in the event of purchase, and includes the application of a discount rate based on market participant assumptions with respect to capital structure and access to capital markets. The income approach uses a reporting unit’s projection of estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions appropriate to the Company's reporting unit. The projection uses management’s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period, including growth rates in sales, costs, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The Company's final estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is developed by weighting the fair values determined through both the market participant and income approaches, where comparable market participant information is available.
	If the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Specifically, the Company allocates the fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, the Company records an impairment charge for the difference.
	During Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value and, as such, the Company did not record any goodwill impairment charges.
	Indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessments. Lands' End reviews the Company's indefinite-lived intangible asset, the Lands’ End trade name, for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The Company considers the income approach when testing the intangible asset with indefinite life for impairment on an annual basis. Lands' End determined that the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method, was most appropriate for analyzing the Company's indefinite-lived asset. This method is based on the assumption that, in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of this asset class. The relief from royalty method involves two steps: (1) estimation of reasonable royalty rates for the assets and (2) the application of these royalty rates to a net sales stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine a value. The Company multiplied the selected royalty rate by the forecasted net sales stream to calculate the cost savings (relief from royalty payment) associated with the asset. The cash flows are then discounted to present value by the selected discount rate and compared to the carrying value of the asset.
	During Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeded its carrying value and, as such, the Company did not record any intangible asset impairment charges.
	Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
	Lands' End entered into the ABL Facility, which provides for maximum borrowings of $175.0 million for Lands' End, subject to a borrowing base, with a $30.0 million sub facility for the UK Borrower. The ABL Facility has a sub-limit of $70.0 million for domestic letters of credit and a sub-limit of $15.0 million for letters of credit for the UK Borrower. The ABL Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and was undrawn at the Separation and at January 30, 2015, other than for letters of credit. The Company had borrowing availability under the ABL Facility of $159.5 million as of January 30, 2015, net of outstanding letters of credit of $15.5 million.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with accounting standards pertaining to fair value measurements. Such standards define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP. Under fair value measurement accounting standards, fair value is considered to be the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date. The Company reports the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the fair value hierarchy prescribed by accounting standards for fair value measurements, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels.
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Total accounts receivable were $30.1 million and $33.6 million as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively. Bad debt expense was $0.4 million and $0.5 million in Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013, respectively. At January 30, 2015 accounts receivable included $5.7 million due from Sears Holdings.
	Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Accounts payable and Other current liabilities are reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
	Long-term debt is reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets at amortized cost. The fair value of debt was determined utilizing level 2 valuation techniques based on the closing inactive market bid price on January 30, 2015. See Note 8—Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities.
	Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions
	The Company translates the assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries from their respective functional currencies to United States dollars at the appropriate spot rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses of operations are translated to United States dollars using weighted average exchange rates during the year. The foreign subsidiaries use the local currency as their functional currency. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity. The Company recognized net foreign exchange transaction losses of $4.7 million, $1.8 million and $3.7 million in Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations.
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenues include sales of merchandise and delivery revenues related to merchandise sold. Revenue is recognized for the Direct segment when the merchandise is expected to be received by the customer and for the Retail segment at the time of sale in the store.
	Revenues from merchandise sales and services are reported net of estimated returns and allowances and exclude sales taxes. Estimated returns and allowances are recorded as a reduction of sales and cost of sales. The reserve for sales returns and allowances is calculated based on historical experience and future expectations and is included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets.
	Reserves for sales returns and allowances consisted of the following:
	(in thousands)	Fiscal 2014				Fiscal 2013				Fiscal 2012
Beginning balance	$	13,805			$	13,524			$	14,607
Provision	187,000				211,505				231,817
Write-offs	(186,937		)		(211,224		)		(232,900		)
Ending balance	$	13,868			$	13,805			$	13,524
The Company sells gift certificates, gift cards and e-certificates (collectively, “gift cards”) to customers through both the Direct and Retail segments. The gift cards do not have expiration dates. Revenue from gift cards are recognized when (i) the gift card is redeemed by the customer for merchandise, or (ii) after 3 years when the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote (“gift card breakage”) and the Company does not have a legal obligation to remit the value of the unredeemed gift cards to the relevant jurisdictions. Revenue recognized from gift card breakage was $1.7 million, $1.7 million and $1.5 million in Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales are comprised principally of the costs of merchandise, in-bound freight, duty, warehousing and distribution (including receiving, picking, packing, store delivery and value added costs), customer shipping and handling costs and physical inventory losses. Depreciation and amortization is not included in the Company's cost of sales.
The Company participates in Sears Holdings’ Shop Your Way Rewards member loyalty program. The expenses for this program are recorded in Cost of sales, as described in Note 10—Related Party Agreements and Transactions.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses are comprised principally of payroll and benefits costs for direct, retail and corporate employees, marketing, occupancy costs of retail stores and corporate facilities, buying, pre-opening costs and other administrative expenses. All stock-based compensation is recorded in Selling and administrative expenses. See Note 5—Stock-Based Compensation.
Prior to the Separation, expenses related to the Lands’ End Shops at Sears were allocated to the Company by Sears Holdings, as well as shared services, co-location and services costs. Subsequent to the Separation, these expenses were charged to the Company by Sears Holdings. Selling and administrative expenses included $62.3 million, $68.4 million and $75.4 million in Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively, of costs allocated or charged to the Company by Sears Holdings. See Note 10—Related Party Agreements and Transactions.
In September 2012, the Company recognized $2.5 million of restructuring expenses, primarily severance, related to an initiative to reduce the corporate cost structure. The liability on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2014 was not material.
Other Operating Expense
Other operating expense in Fiscal 2014 consisted primarily of $3.0 million in costs associated with a recall of selected styles of children's sleepwear that did not meet the federal flammability standard. See Note 15—Subsequent Event.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws. The tax balances and income tax expense recognized are based on management’s interpretation of the tax laws of multiple jurisdictions. Income tax expense also reflects best estimates and assumptions regarding, among other things, the level of future taxable income and tax planning. Future changes in tax laws, changes in projected levels of taxable income, tax planning and adoption and implementation of new accounting standards could impact the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded.
For purposes of the Combined Financial Statements, the tax provision represents the tax attributable to these operations as if the Company were required to file a separate tax return. Sears Holdings paid all United States federal, state and local taxes attributable to the Lands’ End business prior to the Separation and the related taxes payable and tax payments are reflected directly in Net parent company investment in the Combined Balance Sheets. Prior to the Separation taxes paid by Lands' End only represent taxes for its wholly owned foreign subsidiaries. Following the Separation, Lands' End is responsible for all taxes due. Taxes paid by Lands' End were $19.8 million, $4.1 million and $5.3 million for Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively.
Lands’ End and Sears Holdings Corporation entered into the Tax Sharing Agreement in connection with the Separation which governs Sears Holdings Corporation’s and Lands’ End’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to liabilities for United States federal, state, local and foreign taxes attributable to the Lands’ End business. In addition to the allocation of tax liabilities, the Tax Sharing Agreement addresses the preparation and filing of tax returns for such taxes and dispute resolution with taxing authorities regarding such taxes. Generally, Sears Holdings Corporation is liable for all pre-Separation United States federal, state and local income taxes. Lands’ End generally is liable for all other taxes attributable to its business, including all foreign income taxes.
Tax positions are recognized when they are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. The Company is subject to periodic audits by the United States Internal Revenue Service and other state and local taxing authorities. These audits may challenge certain of the Company’s tax positions such as the timing and amount of income and deductions and the allocation of taxable income to various tax jurisdictions. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance on uncertainty in income taxes. These tax uncertainties are reviewed as facts and circumstances change and are adjusted accordingly. This requires significant management judgment in estimating final outcomes. Interest and penalties are classified as Income tax expense in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations. See Note 3—Income Taxes.
Self-Insurance
The Company has a self-insured plan for health and welfare benefits and provides an accrual to cover the obligation. The accrual for the self-insured liability is based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company considers a number of factors, including historical claims information, when determining the amount of the accrual. Costs related to the administration of the plan and related claims are expensed as incurred. Total expenses were $14.1 million, $16.2 million and $15.8 million for Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively.
The Company also has a self-insured plan for certain costs related to workers’ compensation. The Company obtains third-party insurance coverage to limit exposure to this self-insured risk.
Postretirement Benefit Plan
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company decided to indefinitely suspend eligibility to the postretirement medical plan for future company retirees. In addition, the Company elected to immediately recognize all existing net actuarial losses and prior service costs. All future actuarial gains or losses were recognized in the year they occurred and were not material in Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012. At the time of the Separation the $1.5 million liability related to postretirement benefits was transferred to Sears Holdings Corporation as it assumed administration and funding of the plan after the Separation. This transaction was accounted for as an adjustment to Net parent company investment and did not result in cash flows. The net liability of the plan was $1.5 million and is included in the Combined Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2014. See Note 7—Postretirement Benefits and Retirement Plan.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Other comprehensive income (loss) encompasses all changes in equity other than those arising from transactions with stockholders, and is comprised solely of foreign currency translation adjustments and net income.
(in thousands)		Fiscal 2014				Fiscal 2013				Fiscal 2012
Beginning balance: Accumulated other comprehensive loss (net of tax of $1,211, $1,938 and $942, respectively)		$	(1,995	)		$	(3,161	)		$	(1,538	)
Other comprehensive income (loss)
Foreign currency translation adjustments (net of tax (expense) benefit of $2,720, $(727), and $996, respectively)		(5,303		)		1,166				(1,623		)
Ending balance: Accumulated other comprehensive loss (net of tax of $3,931, $1,211, and $1,938, respectively)		$	(7,298	)		$	(1,995	)		$	(3,161	)
Comprehensive income—no amounts were reclassified out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss during any of the periods presented.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units is determined based on the grant date fair value. The fair value is determined based on the Company's stock price on the date of the grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost net of estimated forfeitures and revises the estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on historical data as well as expected future behavior. Stock-based compensation is recorded in Selling and administrative expense in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations over the period in which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the restricted stock units.
Earnings per Share
The numerator for both basic and diluted EPS is net income attributable to Lands’ End. The denominator for basic EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of Lands’ End common stock outstanding during the reporting periods. The denominator for diluted EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of Lands’ End common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the reporting periods using the treasury stock method in accordance with the FASB ASC. For periods ended April 4, 2014 and prior, basic EPS is computed using the number of shares of Lands’ End common stock outstanding on April 4, 2014, the date on which the Lands’ End common stock was distributed to the stockholders of Sears Holdings Corporation. The same number of shares was used to calculate basic and diluted EPS for Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012 as there were no dilutive securities during these periods.
The following table summarizes the components of basic and diluted EPS:
(in thousands, except per share amounts)		Fiscal 2014				Fiscal 2013				Fiscal 2012
Net income		$	73,799			$	78,847			$	49,827
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		31,957				31,957				31,957
Dilutive effect of stock awards		59				—				—
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding		32,016				31,957				31,957
Basic earnings per share		$	2.31			$	2.47			$	1.56
Diluted earnings per share		$	2.31			$	2.47			$	1.56
Anti-dilutive stock awards are comprised of awards which are anti-dilutive in the application of the treasury stock method. There were no anti-dilutive securities excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. This guidance will be effective for Lands' End in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 2, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the Company's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which modifies the requirements for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and expands related disclosure requirements. This guidance will be effective for Lands' End in its fiscal year ending January 29, 2016. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the required presentation of debt issuance costs from an asset on the balance sheet to a deduction from the related debt liability. This guidance will be effective for Lands' End in its fiscal year ending January 27, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

	A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of UTBs for the fiscal years is as follows:
		Federal, State and Foreign Tax
	(in thousands)	Fiscal 2014				Fiscal 2013				Fiscal 2012
	Gross UTB balance at beginning of period	$	8,718			$	8,507			$	8,209

Gross UTB balance at end of period	$	9,082			$	8,718			$	8,507
As of January 30, 2015, the Company had UTBs of $9.1 million. Of this amount, $5.9 million would, if recognized, impact its effective tax rate. The Company does not expect that UTBs will fluctuate in the next 12 months for tax audit settlements and the expiration of the statute of limitations for certain jurisdictions. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, Sears Holdings Corporation is generally responsible for all United States federal, state and local UTBs through the date of the Separation and, as such, the UTBs are recorded in Other liabilities in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets, and an indemnification asset from Sears Holdings Corporation for the $8.8 million pre-Separation UTBs is recorded in Other assets in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets.
The Company classifies interest expense and penalties related to UTBs and interest income on tax overpayments as components of income tax expense. As of January 30, 2015, the total amount of interest expense and penalties recognized on the balance sheet was $5.5 million ($3.6 million net of federal benefit). As of January 31, 2014, the total amount of interest and penalties recognized on the balance sheet was $4.9 million ($3.2 million net of federal benefit). The total amount of net interest expense recognized in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations was $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.8 million for Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012. Sears Holdings and Lands' End files income tax returns in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service has completed its examination of all federal income tax returns of Sears Holdings through the 2009 return, and all matters arising from such examinations have been resolved. Sears Holdings and the Company are under examination by various state income tax jurisdictions for the years 2002–2012.
Impacts of Separation
Prior to the Separation, the tax provision and related tax accounts represented the tax attributable to the Company as if the Company filed a separate tax return.  However, the computed obligations were settled through Sears Holdings Corporation. Accordingly, the taxes payable and related tax payments were reflected directly in Net parent company investment in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets.
As a result of the Separation, the Company will be filing its own income tax returns and, as a result certain tax attributes previously included in Net parent company investment have been reclassified.  Specifically, subsequent to the Separation the Company reclassified (i) $30.4 million of deferred tax assets related primarily to foreign tax credits; and (ii) a $13.7 million reserve for uncertain tax positions (including penalties and interest) out of Net parent company investment and into Deferred tax liabilities and Other liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets.  In addition, pursuant to the tax sharing agreement, a $13.7 million receivable was recorded by the Company to reflect the indemnification by Sears Holdings Corporation of the pre-Separation uncertain tax positions (including penalties and interest) for which Sears Holdings is responsible.  This receivable has been included in Other assets in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets.

As of January 30, 2015, the Company leases store space in 236 Sears Holdings store locations (see Note 10—Related Party Agreements and Transactions) and 14 Lands’ End Inlet Stores. The total number of retail stores, 255, includes one Lands’ End Inlet Store that is owned by the Company and 5 international shop-in-shops which have no required minimum lease payments. All leases are accounted for as operating leases. Operating lease obligations are based upon contractual minimum rents. Certain leases include renewal options.

Stock-Based Compensation	12 Months Ended
	Jan. 30, 2015
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	Accounting standards require, among other things, that (i) the fair value of all stock awards be expensed over their respective vesting periods; (ii) the amount of cumulative compensation cost recognized at any date must at least be equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award that is vested at that date and (iii) compensation expense include a forfeiture estimate for those shares not expected to vest. Also in accordance with these provisions, for awards that only have a service requirement with multiple vest dates, the Company is required to recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
	The Company has granted time vesting stock awards ("Deferred Awards") and performance-based stock awards ("Performance Awards") to employees at management levels and above. Deferred Awards were granted in the form of restricted stock units that only require each recipient to complete a service period. Deferred Awards generally vest ratably over three years. Performance Awards were granted in the form of restricted stock units which have, in addition to a service requirement, performance criteria that must be achieved for the awards to be earned. Performance Awards have annual vesting, but due to the performance criteria, are not eligible for straight-line expensing. Therefore, Performance Awards are amortized using a graded expense process. The fair value of all awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Compensation expense is reduced for estimated forfeitures of those awards not expected to vest due to employee turnover.
	The following table summarizes the Company’s stock-based compensation expense, which is included in Selling and administrative expense in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Income:
	(in thousands)	Fiscal 2014
	Performance Awards	$	1,883
	Deferred Awards	235
	Total stock-based compensation expense	$	2,118
	Stock-based compensation costs for certain executives participating in stock-based compensation plans administered by Sears Holdings were included in Selling and administrative expenses and were not material for Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012.
	Awards Granted Year to Date January 30, 2015
	The Company granted Deferred Awards and Performance Awards to various employees during Fiscal 2014. Generally, the Deferred Awards have a three year vesting period with 25% of the award vesting in both the first and second years and 50% vesting in the third year. In general, the Performance Awards granted to executives vest over a 3-year service period and have a performance measure at the end of the first year of service. If earned, 25% of the awards vest in the first and second years and 50% vests in the third year.

	Debt Arrangements
	In connection with the Separation, Lands’ End entered into an ABL Facility, which provides for maximum borrowings of $175.0 million for Lands’ End, subject to a borrowing base, with a $30.0 million sub facility for the UK Borrower. The ABL Facility has a sub-limit of $70.0 million for domestic letters of credit and a sub-limit of $15.0 million for letters of credit for the UK Borrower. The ABL Facility is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and was undrawn at the Separation and at January 30, 2015, other than for letters of credit. The Company had borrowing availability under the ABL Facility of $159.5 million as of January 30, 2015, net of outstanding letters of credit of $15.5 million.
	Also on April 4, 2014, Lands’ End entered into a Term Loan Facility of $515.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to pay a dividend of $500.0 million to a subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corporation immediately prior to the Separation and to pay fees and expenses associated with the Facilities of approximately $11.4 million, with the remaining proceeds used for general corporate purposes. The fees were capitalized as debt issuance costs, and are included in Other assets on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets and are being amortized as an adjustment to Interest expense over the remaining life of the Facilities.
	Maturity; Amortization and Prepayments
	The ABL Facility will mature on April 4, 2019. The Term Loan Facility will mature on April 4, 2021, will amortize at a rate equal to 1% per annum, and is subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to a percentage of the borrower’s excess cash flows in each fiscal year, ranging from 0% to 50% depending on Lands’ End’s secured leverage ratio, and the proceeds from certain asset sales and casualty events. The Company’s aggregate scheduled maturities of the Term Loan Facility as of January 30, 2015 are as follows:
	(in thousands)
	Less than 1 year	$	5,150
	1 - 2 years	5,150
	2 - 3 years	5,150
	3 - 4 years	5,150
	4 - 5 years	5,150
	Thereafter	485,388
		$	511,138
	The current portion of the Term Loan Facility is included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
	Guarantees; Security
	All domestic obligations under the Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by Lands’ End and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the obligations of the UK Borrower under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by its existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries organized in the United Kingdom. The ABL Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in certain working capital of the borrowers and guarantors consisting primarily of accounts receivable and inventory. The Term Loan Facility is secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral, with certain exceptions.
	The Term Loan Facility also is secured by a first priority security interest in certain property and assets of the borrowers and guarantors, including certain fixed assets and stock of subsidiaries. The ABL Facility is secured by a second priority security interest in the same collateral.
	Interest; Fees
	The interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 4.25% at January 30, 2015. The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Facilities are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to, at the borrowers’ election, either (i) an adjusted London inter-bank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus a borrowing margin, or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a borrowing margin. The borrowing margin is fixed for the Term Loan Facility at 3.25% in the case of LIBOR loans and 2.25% in the case of base rate loans. For the Term Loan Facility, LIBOR is subject to a 1% interest rate floor. The borrowing margin for the ABL Facility is subject to adjustment based on the average excess availability under the ABL Facility for the preceding fiscal quarter, and will range from 1.50% to 2.00% in the case of LIBOR borrowings and will range from 0.50% to 1.00% in the case of base rate borrowings.
	Customary agency fees are payable in respect of both Facilities. The ABL Facility fees also include (i) commitment fees, based on a percentage ranging from approximately 0.25% to 0.375% of the daily unused portions of the ABL Facility, and (ii) customary letter of credit fees.
	Representations and Warranties; Covenants
	Subject to specified exceptions, the Facilities contain various representations and warranties and restrictive covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Lands’ End and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness (including guarantees), grant liens, make investments, make dividends or distributions with respect to capital stock, make prepayments on other indebtedness, engage in mergers or change the nature of their business. In addition, if excess availability under the ABL Facility falls below the greater of 10% of the loan cap amount or $15.0 million, Lands’ End will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. The Facilities do not otherwise contain financial maintenance covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to the Facilities as of January 30, 2015.
	The Facilities contain certain affirmative covenants, including reporting requirements such as delivery of financial statements, certificates and notices of certain events, maintaining insurance, and providing additional guarantees and collateral in certain circumstances.
	Events of Default
	The Facilities include customary events of default including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations or warranties, cross defaults related to certain other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, invalidity or impairment of guarantees or security interests, and material judgments and change of control.

Postretirement Benefits and Retirement Plan	12 Months Ended

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Postretirement Benefits and Retirement Plan	POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS AND RETIREMENT PLAN
	The Company had a plan to provide group medical benefits for eligible retired employees. The costs of these insurance benefits were previously recognized as the eligible employees render service. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company decided to indefinitely suspend eligibility to the postretirement medical plan for future company retirees. At the time of the Separation the $1.5 million liability related to postretirement benefits was transferred to Sears Holdings Corporation as it assumed administration and funding of the plan after the Separation. This transaction was accounted for as an adjustment to Net parent company investment and did not result in cash flows.
	The following table presents the change in the benefit obligation:

	Weighted-average assumption at end of year:
	Discount rate		N/A				4		%	4.2		%
	For measurement purposes, an 8.0% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2014 and beyond, moving to an ultimate downward trend rate of 5.0% for 2020 and remaining at that level thereafter. An increase or decrease of one percentage point in the assumed health care trend rate would not have a material effect on the Combined Financial Statements.
	The Company also has a 401(k) retirement plan, which covers most regular employees and allows them to make contributions. The Company also provides a matching contribution on a portion of the employee contributions. Total expense provided under this plan was $3.4 million, $3.3 million and $3.6 million for Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
	The Company determines fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels:
	Level 1 inputs—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. An active market for the asset or liability is one in which transactions for the asset or liability occurs with sufficient frequency and volume to provide ongoing pricing information.
	Level 2 inputs—inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rate curves and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, credit risk and default rates.
	Level 3 inputs—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
	Restricted cash is reflected on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets at fair value. The fair value of Restricted cash as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014 was $3.3 million, based on Level 1 inputs. Restricted cash amounts are valued based upon statements received from financial institutions.
	Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Accounts payable and Other current liabilities are reflected on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
	Carrying values and fair values of other financial instruments in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets are as follows:
		January 30, 2015
	(in thousands)	Carrying		Fair
		Amount		Value
	Long-term debt, including short-term portion	$	511,138	$	491,331
	Long-term debt was valued utilizing level 2 valuation techniques based on the closing inactive market bid price on January 30, 2015. There were no nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014.

Each of the Company’s operating segments are reportable segments and are strategic business units that offer similar products and services but are sold either directly from its warehouses (Direct) or through its retail stores (Retail). Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is the primary measure used to make decisions on allocating resources and assessing performance of each operating segment. Adjusted EBITDA is computed as Income before taxes appearing on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations net of interest expense, depreciation and amortization and other significant items that while periodically affecting the Company's results, may vary significantly from period to period and may have a disproportionate effect in a given period, which may affect comparability of results. Reportable segment assets are those directly used in or clearly allocable to an operating segment’s operations. Depreciation, amortization, and property and equipment expenditures are recognized in each respective segment. There were no material transactions between reporting segments for the years ended January 30, 2015, January 31, 2014 and February 1, 2013.

At this time, the Company is not able to either predict the outcome of these legal proceedings or reasonably estimate a potential range of loss with respect to the proceedings. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any current legal proceeding would have a material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position taken as a whole.
	Beginning in 2005, the Company initiated the first of several claims in Iowa County Circuit Court against the City of Dodgeville (the "City") to recover overpaid taxes resulting from the city’s excessive property tax assessment of the Company’s headquarters campus. As of April 7, 2015, the City has refunded, as the result of various court decisions, over $4.0 million in excessive taxes and interest to the Company in the following amounts: (1) approximately $1.6 million arising from the 2005 and 2006 tax years that was recognized in Fiscal 2009; (2) approximately $1.6 million arising from the 2007, 2009 and 2010 tax years, recognized in Fiscal 2013 within Selling and administrative costs in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations; (3) approximately $0.7 million arising from the 2008 tax year, recognized in Fiscal 2014; and (4) an additional $0.2 million also arising from the 2008 tax year, recognized in Fiscal 2014. The claims arising from 2005 and 2006 tax years are closed. The company claims pending before the circuit court arising from tax years 2007 through 2013 remain unresolved, as is the Company's administrative claim for the 2014 tax year which will soon be filed with the circuit court. The Company believes that the potential additional aggregate recovery from the City of Dodgeville arising from the 2007 to 2014 tax years will range from $2.8 million to $4.0 million, none of which has been recorded in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Jan. 30, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The financial statements presented herein represent (i) periods prior to April 4, 2014 when Lands' End was a wholly owned subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corporation (referred to as “Combined Financial Statements”) and (ii) the period as of and subsequent to April 4, 2014 when Lands' End became a separate publicly-traded company (referred to as “Consolidated Financial Statements”).
	The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Lands' End, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
	The accompanying Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been reflected. Dollar amounts are reported in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise noted.
	Our historical Combined Financial Statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Sears Holdings. The Combined Financial Statements include Lands’ End, Inc. and subsidiaries and certain other items related to the Lands’ End business which were held by Sears Holdings prior to the Separation. These items were contributed by Sears Holdings to Lands’ End, Inc. prior to the Separation. These historical Combined Financial Statements reflect the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportable amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents
	The Company includes deposits in-transit from banks for payments related to third-party credit card and debit card transactions within cash.
Restricted cash	Restricted cash
	The Company classifies cash balances pledged as collateral for an employee benefit trust fund as Restricted cash on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on both historical experience and specific identification.
Inventory	Inventory
	Inventories primarily consist of merchandise purchased for resale. For financial reporting and tax purposes, the Company’s United States inventory, primarily merchandise held for sale, is stated at last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) cost, which is lower than market. The Company accounts for its non-United States inventory on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.
Deferred Catalog Costs and Marketing	Deferred Catalog Costs and Marketing
	Costs incurred for direct response marketing consist primarily of catalog production and mailing costs that are generally amortized within two months from the date catalogs are mailed.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Additions and substantial improvements are capitalized and include expenditures that materially extend the useful lives of existing facilities and equipment. Maintenance and repairs that do not materially improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. As of the balance sheet dates, Property and equipment, net consisted of the following:
	(in thousands)	Asset Lives	30-Jan-15		31-Jan-14
	Land	—	3,529		3,563
	Buildings and improvements	15-30	100,583		101,249
	Furniture, fixtures and equipment	10-Mar	76,938		75,625
	Computer hardware and software	5-Mar	73,062		65,810
	Leasehold improvements	7-Mar	12,781		12,517
	Gross property and equipment		266,893		258,764
	Accumulated depreciation		(165,670	)	(157,668	)
	Total property and equipment, net		101,223		101,096
	Depreciation expense is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the associated lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
	Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets (customer lists) are subject to a review for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows generated by an asset or asset group is less than its carrying amount, the Company then determines the fair value of the asset generally by using a discounted cash flow model. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value as determined based on quoted market prices or through the use of other valuation techniques.
Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment Assessments	Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment Assessments
	Goodwill, trade name and other intangible assets are tested separately for impairment on an annual basis, or are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The majority of the Company's goodwill and intangible assets relate to Kmart Holding Corporation’s acquisition of Sears Roebuck in March 2005. The calculation for an impairment loss compares the carrying value of the asset to that asset’s estimated fair value, which may be based on estimated future discounted cash flows or quoted market prices. Lands' End recognizes an impairment loss if the asset’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value.
	Frequently the Company's impairment loss calculations contain multiple uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future cash flows and asset fair values, including forecasting cash flows under different scenarios. Lands' End performs annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests on the last day of the Company's November accounting period each year and updates the tests between annual tests if events or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. However, if actual results are not consistent with the Company's estimates and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, the Company may be exposed to losses that could be material.
	Goodwill impairment assessments. The Company's goodwill resides in the Direct reporting unit. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. Lands' End estimates fair value using the best information available, using both a market approach, as well as a discounted cash flow model, commonly referred to as the income approach. The market approach determines a value of the reporting unit by deriving market multiples for the reporting unit based on assumptions potential market participants would use in establishing a bid price for the reporting unit. This approach therefore assumes strategic initiatives will result in improvements in operational performance in the event of purchase, and includes the application of a discount rate based on market participant assumptions with respect to capital structure and access to capital markets. The income approach uses a reporting unit’s projection of estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions appropriate to the Company's reporting unit. The projection uses management’s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period, including growth rates in sales, costs, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The Company's final estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is developed by weighting the fair values determined through both the market participant and income approaches, where comparable market participant information is available.
	If the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Specifically, the Company allocates the fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, the Company records an impairment charge for the difference.
	During Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value and, as such, the Company did not record any goodwill impairment charges.
	Indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessments. Lands' End reviews the Company's indefinite-lived intangible asset, the Lands’ End trade name, for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The Company considers the income approach when testing the intangible asset with indefinite life for impairment on an annual basis. Lands' End determined that the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method, was most appropriate for analyzing the Company's indefinite-lived asset. This method is based on the assumption that, in lieu of ownership, a firm would be willing to pay a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of this asset class. The relief from royalty method involves two steps: (1) estimation of reasonable royalty rates for the assets and (2) the application of these royalty rates to a net sales stream and discounting the resulting cash flows to determine a value. The Company multiplied the selected royalty rate by the forecasted net sales stream to calculate the cost savings (relief from royalty payment) associated with the asset. The cash flows are then discounted to present value by the selected discount rate and compared to the carrying value of the asset.
	During Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeded its carrying value and, as such, the Company did not record any intangible asset impairment charges.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with accounting standards pertaining to fair value measurements. Such standards define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP. Under fair value measurement accounting standards, fair value is considered to be the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date. The Company reports the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the fair value hierarchy prescribed by accounting standards for fair value measurements, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels.
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Total accounts receivable were $30.1 million and $33.6 million as of January 30, 2015 and January 31, 2014, respectively. Bad debt expense was $0.4 million and $0.5 million in Fiscal 2014 and Fiscal 2013, respectively. At January 30, 2015 accounts receivable included $5.7 million due from Sears Holdings.
	Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable, Accounts payable and Other current liabilities are reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
	Long-term debt is reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets at amortized cost. The fair value of debt was determined utilizing level 2 valuation techniques based on the closing inactive market bid price on January 30, 2015. See Note 8—Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities.
Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions	Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions
	The Company translates the assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries from their respective functional currencies to United States dollars at the appropriate spot rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses of operations are translated to United States dollars using weighted average exchange rates during the year. The foreign subsidiaries use the local currency as their functional currency. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
	Revenues include sales of merchandise and delivery revenues related to merchandise sold. Revenue is recognized for the Direct segment when the merchandise is expected to be received by the customer and for the Retail segment at the time of sale in the store.
	Revenues from merchandise sales and services are reported net of estimated returns and allowances and exclude sales taxes. Estimated returns and allowances are recorded as a reduction of sales and cost of sales. The reserve for sales returns and allowances is calculated based on historical experience and future expectations and is included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets.
Cost of Sales	Cost of Sales
	Cost of sales are comprised principally of the costs of merchandise, in-bound freight, duty, warehousing and distribution (including receiving, picking, packing, store delivery and value added costs), customer shipping and handling costs and physical inventory losses. Depreciation and amortization is not included in the Company's cost of sales.
	The Company participates in Sears Holdings’ Shop Your Way Rewards member loyalty program. The expenses for this program are recorded in Cost of sales, as described in Note 10—Related Party Agreements and Transactions.
Selling and Administrative Expenses	Selling and Administrative Expenses
	Selling and administrative expenses are comprised principally of payroll and benefits costs for direct, retail and corporate employees, marketing, occupancy costs of retail stores and corporate facilities, buying, pre-opening costs and other administrative expenses. All stock-based compensation is recorded in Selling and administrative expenses
Other Operating Expense	Other Operating Expense
	Other operating expense in Fiscal 2014 consisted primarily of $3.0 million in costs associated with a recall of selected styles of children's sleepwear that did not meet the federal flammability standard.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws. The tax balances and income tax expense recognized are based on management’s interpretation of the tax laws of multiple jurisdictions. Income tax expense also reflects best estimates and assumptions regarding, among other things, the level of future taxable income and tax planning. Future changes in tax laws, changes in projected levels of taxable income, tax planning and adoption and implementation of new accounting standards could impact the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded.
	For purposes of the Combined Financial Statements, the tax provision represents the tax attributable to these operations as if the Company were required to file a separate tax return. Sears Holdings paid all United States federal, state and local taxes attributable to the Lands’ End business prior to the Separation and the related taxes payable and tax payments are reflected directly in Net parent company investment in the Combined Balance Sheets. Prior to the Separation taxes paid by Lands' End only represent taxes for its wholly owned foreign subsidiaries. Following the Separation, Lands' End is responsible for all taxes due. Taxes paid by Lands' End were $19.8 million, $4.1 million and $5.3 million for Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively.
	Lands’ End and Sears Holdings Corporation entered into the Tax Sharing Agreement in connection with the Separation which governs Sears Holdings Corporation’s and Lands’ End’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Separation with respect to liabilities for United States federal, state, local and foreign taxes attributable to the Lands’ End business. In addition to the allocation of tax liabilities, the Tax Sharing Agreement addresses the preparation and filing of tax returns for such taxes and dispute resolution with taxing authorities regarding such taxes. Generally, Sears Holdings Corporation is liable for all pre-Separation United States federal, state and local income taxes. Lands’ End generally is liable for all other taxes attributable to its business, including all foreign income taxes.
	Tax positions are recognized when they are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. The Company is subject to periodic audits by the United States Internal Revenue Service and other state and local taxing authorities. These audits may challenge certain of the Company’s tax positions such as the timing and amount of income and deductions and the allocation of taxable income to various tax jurisdictions. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance on uncertainty in income taxes. These tax uncertainties are reviewed as facts and circumstances change and are adjusted accordingly. This requires significant management judgment in estimating final outcomes. Interest and penalties are classified as Income tax expense in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations. See Note 3—Income Taxes.
Self-Insurance	Self-Insurance
	The Company has a self-insured plan for health and welfare benefits and provides an accrual to cover the obligation. The accrual for the self-insured liability is based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company considers a number of factors, including historical claims information, when determining the amount of the accrual. Costs related to the administration of the plan and related claims are expensed as incurred.
Postretirement Benefit Plan	Postretirement Benefit Plan
	Effective January 1, 2006, the Company decided to indefinitely suspend eligibility to the postretirement medical plan for future company retirees. In addition, the Company elected to immediately recognize all existing net actuarial losses and prior service costs.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	Other comprehensive income (loss) encompasses all changes in equity other than those arising from transactions with stockholders, and is comprised solely of foreign currency translation adjustments and net income.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units is determined based on the grant date fair value. The fair value is determined based on the Company's stock price on the date of the grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost net of estimated forfeitures and revises the estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on historical data as well as expected future behavior. Stock-based compensation is recorded in Selling and administrative expense in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Operations over the period in which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the restricted stock units.
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share
	The numerator for both basic and diluted EPS is net income attributable to Lands’ End. The denominator for basic EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of Lands’ End common stock outstanding during the reporting periods. The denominator for diluted EPS is based upon the number of weighted average shares of Lands’ End common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the reporting periods using the treasury stock method in accordance with the FASB ASC. For periods ended April 4, 2014 and prior, basic EPS is computed using the number of shares of Lands’ End common stock outstanding on April 4, 2014, the date on which the Lands’ End common stock was distributed to the stockholders of Sears Holdings Corporation.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements
	Revenue from Contracts with Customers
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. This guidance will be effective for Lands' End in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 2, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the Company's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
	Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which modifies the requirements for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and expands related disclosure requirements. This guidance will be effective for Lands' End in its fiscal year ending January 29, 2016. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
	Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the required presentation of debt issuance costs from an asset on the balance sheet to a deduction from the related debt liability. This guidance will be effective for Lands' End in its fiscal year ending January 27, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
