Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

| ACQUISITION OF BONNIE TOGS | ACQUISITION OF BONNIE TOGS: As noted above, on June 30, 2011, Northstar purchased all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Bonnie Togs for total consideration of up to CAD $95 million, of which USD $61.2 million was paid in cash at closing. The sellers may also be paid contingent consideration ranging from zero to CAD $35 million if the Canadian business meets certain earnings targets for the period beginning July 1, 2011 and ending on June 27, 2015. Sellers may receive a portion of the contingent consideration of up to CAD $25 million if interim earnings targets are met through June 2013 and June 2014, respectively. Any such payments are not recoverable by the Company in the event of any failure to meet overall targets. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had a discounted contingent consideration liability of approximately $26.8 million based upon the high probability that Bonnie Togs will attain its earnings targets and is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying audited consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the discounted contingent consideration liability as of December 31, 2011 was approximately $25.6 million. The $1.2 million change in the fair value of the liability is reflected as $0.7 million in accretion expense and $0.5 million in other comprehensive income resulting from an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration based upon a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The Company will continue to revalue the contingent consideration at each reporting date. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at June 30, 2011, the date of the Acquisition:
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company recorded total acquired intangible assets of approximately $55.9 million, including $55.0 million of Bonnie Togs goodwill, $0.6 million related to the Bonnie Togs tradename (life of two years), and $0.3 million related to non-compete agreements for certain executives (life of four years). The following unaudited pro forma summary presents information as if Bonnie Togs had been acquired on January 2, 2010 and assumes that there were no other changes in our operations. The pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the actual results that would have occurred had the Company operated the Canadian business since January 2, 2010, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of operations of the combined companies.

| Long-term Debt, Unclassified [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| LONG-TERM DEBT | LONG-TERM DEBT: Long-term debt consisted of the following:
On October 15, 2010, the Company entered into a $375 million ($130 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a swing line sub-limit of $40 million) revolving credit facility with Bank of America as sole lead arranger and administrative agent, JP Morgan Chase Bank as syndication agent, and other financial institutions. This revolving credit facility was immediately drawn upon to pay off the Company’s former term loan of $232.2 million and pay transaction fees and expenses of $3.8 million, leaving approximately $130 million available under the revolver for future borrowings (net of letters of credit of approximately $8.6 million). In connection with the repayment of the Company’s former term loan, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 the Company wrote off approximately $1.2 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. In addition, in connection with the revolving credit facility, the Company recorded $3.5 million of debt issuance costs to be amortized over the term of the revolving credit facility (five years). On December 22, 2011, the Company and lenders amended and restated the revolving credit facility to, among other things, provide a U.S. dollar revolving facility of $340 million ($130 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a swing line sub-limit of $40 million) and a $35 million multicurrency revolving facility ($15 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a swing line sub-limit of $5 million), which is available for borrowings by either TWCC or our Canadian subsidiary, in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars. The term of the revolving credit facility expires October 15, 2015. At March 31, 2012, we had approximately $236.0 million in revolver borrowings (fair value approximates book value), exclusive of $14.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, at an effective interest rate of 2.49%. The revolving credit facility provides for two pricing options for U.S. dollar facility revolving loans: (i) revolving loans on which interest is payable quarterly at a base rate equal to the highest of (x) the Federal Funds Rate plus ½ of 1%, (y) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. as its prime rate, or (z) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin initially equal to 1.25%, which may be adjusted based upon a leverage-based pricing grid ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% and (ii) revolving loans on which interest accrues for one, two, three, six or if, generally available, nine or twelve month interest periods (but is payable not less frequently than every three months) at a rate of interest per annum equal to an adjusted British Bankers Association LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin initially equal to 2.25%, which may be adjusted based upon a leverage-based pricing grid ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%. The revolving credit facility also provides for two pricing options for multicurrency facility revolving loans denominated in U.S. dollars: (i) revolving loans on which interest is payable quarterly at a base rate equal to the highest of (x) the Federal Funds Rate plus ½ of 1%, (y) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A., Canada Branch in Toronto as its reference rate for loans in U.S. dollars to its Canadian borrowers, or (z) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin initially equal to 1.25%, which may be adjusted based upon a leverage-based pricing grid ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% and (ii) revolving loans on which interest accrues for one, two, three, six or if, generally available, nine or twelve month interest periods (but is payable not less frequently than every three months) at a rate of interest per annum equal to an adjusted British Bankers Association LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin initially equal to 2.25%, which may be adjusted based upon a leverage-based pricing grid ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%. NOTE 5 – LONG-TERM DEBT: (Continued) In addition, the revolving credit facility provides for two pricing options for multicurrency facility revolving loans denominated in Canadian dollars: (i) revolving loans on which interest is payable quarterly at a base rate equal to the highest of (x) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A., Canada Branch in Toronto as its prime rate for loans in Canadian Dollars to Canadian Borrowers and (y) the rate of interest in effect for such day for Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances having a term of one month that appears on the Reuters Screen CDOR Page plus ½ of 1%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin initially equal to 1.25%, which may be adjusted based upon a leverage-based pricing grid ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%, and (ii) revolving loans on which interest accrues for one, two, three, six or if, generally available, nine or twelve month interest periods (but is payable not less frequently than every three months) at a rate of interest per annum equal to an adjusted British Bankers Association LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin initially equal to 2.25%, which may be adjusted based upon a leverage-based pricing grid ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility currently accrue interest at a LIBOR rate plus 2.25%. The revolving credit facility contains and defines financial covenants, including a lease adjusted leverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of the Company’s consolidated indebtedness plus six times rent expense to consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and rent expense (“EBITDAR”)) to exceed (x) if such period ends on or before December 31, 2014, 3.75:1.00 and (y) if such period ends after December 31, 2014, 3.50:1.00; and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (defined as, with certain adjustments, the ratio of consolidated EBITDAR to consolidated fixed charges (defined as interest plus rent expense)), for any such period to be less than 2.75:1.00. As of March 31, 2012, the Company believes it was in compliance with its financial debt covenants. Provisions in our senior credit facility currently restrict the ability of our operating subsidiary, TWCC, from paying cash dividends to our parent company, Carter’s, Inc., in excess of $15.0 million unless TWCC and its consolidated subsidiaries meet certain leverage ratio and minimum availability requirements under the credit facility, which materially restricts Carter’s, Inc. from paying cash dividends on our common stock. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future but intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the future operation and expansion of our business and related development activities. Any future decision to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, terms of financing arrangements, capital requirements, and any other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant. |

| GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS | GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS: In connection with the Acquisition, the Company recorded estimates of goodwill and other intangible assets including a Bonnie Togs tradename and non-compete agreements for certain executives of Bonnie Togs, in accordance with accounting guidance on business combinations. Goodwill as of March 31, 2012, represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition of Carter’s, Inc., which was consummated on August 15, 2001, and the acquisition of Bonnie Togs, which was consummated on June 30, 2011, over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Our goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The OshKosh tradename was recorded in connection with the acquisition of OshKosh on July 14, 2005 and adjusted in fiscal 2007 to reflect the impairment of the value. Our Carter’s and Bonnie Togs goodwill and Carter’s and OshKosh tradenames are deemed to have indefinite lives and are not being amortized. The Bonnie Togs tradename and non-compete agreements for certain executives have definite lives and are being amortized over two and four years, respectively.

| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES: The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in various states and local jurisdictions. The Company’s Canadian subsidiary, will file income tax returns in Canada and various Canadian provinces. The Internal Revenue Service completed its income tax audit for fiscal 2009 during fiscal 2011. In most cases, the Company is no longer subject to state and local tax authority examinations for years prior to fiscal 2007. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $8.9 million, $6.2 million of which, if ultimately recognized, will impact the Company’s effective tax rate in the period settled. The Company has recorded tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductions. Because of deferred tax accounting, changes in the timing of these deductions would not impact the annual effective tax rate, but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authorities. NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES: (Continued) Included in the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits are approximately $2.0 million of reserves for which the statute of limitations is expected to expire within the next fiscal year. If these tax benefits are ultimately recognized, such recognition, net of federal income taxes, may impact our annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2012 and the effective tax rate in the quarter in which the benefits are recognized. We recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized interest expense on uncertain tax positions of approximately $0.1 million. The Company had approximately $0.6 million, $0.5 million, and $0.7 million of interest accrued as of March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011, and April 2, 2011, respectively. |

| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: The Company accounts for its fair value measurements in accordance with accounting guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements is as follows:
The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: (Continued) The following summarizes the significant unobservable inputs for our Level 3 fair value measurements at March 31, 2012:
At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had approximately $50.2 million of cash invested in money market deposit accounts. At April 2, 2011, we had approximately $50.4 million of cash invested in money market deposit accounts and $125.0 million in U.S. Treasury bills. As of March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011, and April 2, 2011, the fair value of the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $236.0 million approximates book value. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company acquired open forward foreign exchange contracts which were undesignated hedges used to reduce its risk from cash flows associated with U.S. dollar denominated inventory purchases. As part of its overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, primarily exposure to changes in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar, the Company hedges a portion of its foreign currency exposures anticipated over the ensuing twelve-month period. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts that generally have maturities of up to 12 months to provide continuing coverage throughout the hedging period. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had contracts for the purchase of $18.5 million of U.S. dollars at fixed rates. The fair value of these forward contracts was a liability of $0.1 million. The Company accounts for these foreign exchange contracts as undesignated positions in accordance with accounting standards on derivatives and hedging. As such, these positions are marked to fair value through earnings at each reporting date. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company also recorded a $0.6 million loss on the mark-to-market of open foreign currency exchange contracts and a $0.3 million gain on the remeasurement of Bonnie Togs’ foreign denominated payables. The fair value of the discounted contingent consideration liability was approximately $26.8 million as of March 31, 2012 and $25.6 million as of December 31, 2011. The $1.2 million change in fair value during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, reflects accretion expense of approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income reflecting a unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration based upon a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. Changes in the estimated earnout payment, discount rate, or probability assumptions used could materially impact the fair value of the contingent consideration. NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: (Continued) The fair value of our derivative instruments in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:
The effect of undesignated derivative instruments on our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements was as follows:

| STOCK - BASED COMPENSATION | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the compensation committee of our Board of Directors may award incentive stock options (ISOs and non-ISOs), stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock deliverable on a deferred basis (including restricted stock units), and performance-based stock awards. The fair value of time-based or performance-based stock option grants are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants issued during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.
The fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively, “restricted stock awards”) is determined based on the quoted closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The following table summarizes our stock option and restricted stock awards activity during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012:
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, we granted 343,600 stock options with a weighted-average Black-Scholes fair value of $15.09 per share and a weighted-average exercise price of $42.61 per share. In connection with this grant, we recognized approximately $129,000 in stock-based compensation expense during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, we granted 323,800 restricted stock awards with a weighted-average exercise price of $42.61 per share. In connection with these grants, we recognized approximately $373,000 in stock-based compensation expense during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company granted our Chief Executive Officer 100,000 performance-based restricted shares at a fair market value of $42.61 per share. In addition, the Company granted our other executive officers 52,000 performance-based restricted shares at a fair market value of $42.61 per share. Vesting of these shares is contingent upon meeting specific performance targets and would occur, if ever, in fiscal 2015. Currently, the Company believes that these targets will be achieved and, accordingly, we will continue to record compensation expense until the restricted shares vest or the Company’s assessment of achievement of the performance criteria changes. NOTE 11 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: (Continued) Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock awards is expected to be recorded as follows:

| Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| EARNINGS PER SHARE | EARNINGS PER SHARE: The Company calculates basic and diluted net income per common share in accordance with accounting guidance which requires earnings per share to be calculated pursuant to the two-class method for unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid). Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of dilutive instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock awards, and uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of shares that are to be added to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. The following is a reconciliation of basic common shares outstanding to diluted common and common equivalent shares outstanding:
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011, anti-dilutive and performance-based restricted shares of 610,950 and 945,050, respectively, were excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share. |

| FACILITY CLOSURE [Abstract] | |
| Facility Closure | NOTE 14 – FACILITY CLOSURE: Consistent with the Company's strategy to strengthen our distribution capabilities, we decided to close our Hogansville, Georgia facility in 2013 and will open a new, larger multi-channel distribution facility in Braselton, Georgia in June 2012. On March 14, 2012, the Company announced to affected employees its plan to close the Hogansville facility. Approximately 210 employees are affected by this closure. In conjunction with the plan to close the Hogansville distribution facility, the Company recorded approximately $1.1 million in closing-related costs during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, consisting of severance of $1.0 million and $0.1 million of accelerated depreciation (included in selling, general, and administrative expenses). As of March 31, 2012, there was approximately $1.1 million of restructuring reserves included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet related to this closure. The Company expects to incur additional closure-related charges of approximately $1.8 million for one-time termination benefits ($1.1 million in fiscal 2012 and $0.7 million in fiscal 2013) and $1.6 million in accelerated depreciation ($1.1 million in fiscal 2012 and $0.5 million in fiscal 2013), and other closure costs of $1.0 million in fiscal 2013. The salvage value of this facility is estimated to be $2.0 million. When the Company determined that it was probable that the Hogansville facility would be closed, an impairment test was performed under the "held and used" model. We determined that the assets were not impaired; however, the estimated useful lives of the assets were reassessed and depreciation was accelerated over the expected remaining shutdown period. |

| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
| RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued updated accounting guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures that result in common fair value measurements and disclosures between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance includes amendments that clarify the intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosures, while other amendments change a principle or requirement for fair value measurements or disclosures. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has included the required disclosures within Note 8, Fair Value Measurements. In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the presentation of comprehensive income to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both instances, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance to indefinitely defer provisions requiring reclassification adjustments out of other comprehensive income to be presented on the face of the financial statements. The other portions of the original guidance remain unchanged. These standards are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and are to be applied retrospectively. The Company has included such disclosures within this quarterly report. In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. This guidance gives companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to first assess whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
