| Acquisition consideration [Table Text Block]                                         | The acquisition date fair value of the acquisition consideration paid at closing totaled $3,137.1 million, which consisted of the following:(In millions, except per share data)  Cash $2,180.0Common stock (7.7 shares, par value $1.00 per share) 926.5Warnaco employee replacement stock awards 39.8Elimination of pre-acquisition liability to Warnaco (9.2)Total fair value of the acquisition consideration $3,137.1The fair value of the 7.7 million common shares issued was equal to the aggregate value of the shares at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on February 12, 2013, the day prior to the closing. The value of the replacement stock awards was determined by multiplying the estimated fair value of the Warnaco awards outstanding at the time of the acquisition, reduced by an estimated value of awards to be forfeited, by the proportionate amount of the vesting period that had lapsed as of the acquisition date. Also included in the acquisition consideration was the elimination of a $9.2 million pre-acquisition liability to Warnaco.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| Business acquisition, pro forma information [Table Text Block]                       | The following table presents the Company’s pro forma consolidated results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks endedAugust 4, 2013, as if the acquisition and the related financing transactions had occurred at the beginning of the year prior to the acquisition date. The pro forma results were calculated applying the Company’s accounting policies and reflect (i) the impact on revenue, cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from the elimination of intercompany transactions; (ii) the impact on depreciation and amortization expense based on fair value adjustments to Warnaco’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition; (iii) the impact on interest expense resulting from changes to the Company’s capital structure in connection with the acquisition; (iv) the impact on cost of goods sold resulting from acquisition date adjustments to the fair value of inventory; (v) the elimination of transaction costs related to the acquisition that were included in the Company’s results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks endedAugust 4, 2013; and (vi) the tax effects of the above adjustments. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated cost synergies or other effects of the planned integration of Warnaco. Accordingly, such pro forma amounts are not indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the year prior to the acquisition date, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of the combined company.
