Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurement Fair Value Measurement
The accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”) requires the Company to make disclosures about the fair value of certain of its assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. ASC 820-10 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. A brief description of those three levels is as follows:
 
•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

Forward contracts are entered into to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows (see Note P - Derivative Instruments). Fair value of these instruments is based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates.
The Company's level 3 balance consists of contingent consideration related to acquisitions. The changes in the Company's level 3 liabilities for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

(1) Amount was an adjustment of $2,684 to the preliminary purchase accounting of GREATS Brand, Inc.
(2) Amount was a benefit of $3,000 to operating expenses related to the Schwartz and Benjamin acquisition.

At March 31, 2020, the liability for potential contingent consideration was $1,670 in connection with the August 9, 2019 acquisition of GREATS Brand, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out provision contained in the equity purchase agreement, between the Company and the sellers of GREATS Brand, Inc., earn-out payments are based on EBITA performance. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of the payments based on management’s projections of the financial results of GREATS Brand, Inc. during the earn-out period, utilizing a discount rate of 12.5%.

At March 31, 2020, the liability for potential contingent consideration was $4,770 in connection with the August 12, 2019 acquisition of B.B. Dakota, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of an earn-out provision contained in the equity purchase agreement, between the Company and the sellers of B.B. Dakota, Inc., earn-out payments are based on EBITDA performance. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of the payments based on management’s projections of the financial results of B.B. Dakota, Inc. during the earn-out period, utilizing a discount rate of 19.5%.

The Company recorded a liability for potential contingent consideration in connection with the January 30, 2017 acquisition of Schwartz & Benjamin. The fair value of the contingent payments was estimated using the present value of the payments based on management’s projections of the financial results of Schwartz & Benjamin during the earn-out period. An earn-out payment in the aggregate amount of $7,000 was paid to the sellers of Schwartz & Benjamin in the first quarter of 2018, leaving a remaining balance of $3,000 at December 31, 2018. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company reversed the $3,000 balance, because it did not have to be paid due to the termination of the Kate Spade license agreement held by Schwartz & Benjamin as of December 31, 2019.

The fair value of trademarks are measured on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs, including forecasted cash flows, discount rates and implied royalty rates. During the first quarter, Cejon, GREATS and Jocelyn trademarks with an aggregate carrying amount of $40,598 were written down to their fair values of $31,080, resulting in a pre-tax impairment charge of $9,518. Of the $9,518 impairment charge, $9,062 and $456 were recorded in impairment of intangibles in the Wholesale Accessories/apparel and Retail segments, respectively.
The fair values of right-of use lease assets and fixed assets related to Company-owned retail stores were determined using Level 3 inputs, including estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using sales trends and market participant assumptions. During the current period, certain right-of-use lease assets with a carrying amount of $60,661 and certain property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of $12,292 related to retail store fixed assets were written down to a fair value of $43,835 and $297, respectively, resulting in impairment charges of $28,821. The impairment charges were recorded in operating expenses in the Retail segment.

The carrying value of certain financial instruments such as accounts receivable, factor accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of their underlying terms. The fair values of investments in marketable securities available for sale are determined by reference to publicly quoted prices in an active market. Fair value of the notes receivable held by the Company approximates their carrying value based upon their imputed or actual interest rate,
which approximates applicable current market interest rates. Some assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. These assets can include long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when impaired. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.
