Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 1 — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ||||||||||
Nature of Operations | |||||||||||
Escalade, Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Escalade, the Company, we, us or our) are engaged in the manufacture and sale of sporting goods products. On June 30, 2014, the Company announced the sale of its Print Finishing business. On October 1, 2014, the Company announced the sale of its Information Security business. The divestiture of these two divisions accomplishes the Company’s complete exit from the Information Security and Print Finishing segment that is reported as discontinued operations. The Company is headquartered in Evansville, Indiana and has manufacturing facilities in the United States of America and Mexico. The Company sells products to customers primarily in North America with minimal sales throughout the remainder of the world. | |||||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Escalade, Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. | |||||||||||
Basis of Presentation | |||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The books and records of subsidiaries located in foreign countries are maintained according to generally accepted accounting principles in those countries. Upon consolidation, the Company evaluates the differences in accounting principles and determines whether adjustments are necessary to convert the foreign financial statements to the accounting principles upon which the consolidated financial statements are based. As a result of this evaluation no material adjustments were identified. | |||||||||||
Fiscal Year End | |||||||||||
The Company’s fiscal year is a 52 or 53 week period ending on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal year 2014 was 52 weeks long, ending on December 27, 2014. Fiscal year 2013 was 52 weeks long, ending on December 28, 2013. Fiscal year 2012 was 52 weeks long, ending on December 29, 2012. | |||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||
Highly liquid financial instruments with insignificant interest rate risk and with original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash and cash equivalents. | |||||||||||
Accounts Receivable | |||||||||||
Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized as products are shipped to customers and accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers. Interest and late charges billed to customers are not material and, because collection is uncertain, are not recognized until collected and are therefore not included in accounts receivable. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts which is described in Note 2 – Certain Significant Estimates. | |||||||||||
Inventories | |||||||||||
Inventory cost is computed on a currently adjusted standard cost basis (which approximates actual cost on a current average or first-in, first-out basis). Work in process and finished goods inventory are determined to be saleable based on a demand forecast within a specific time horizon, generally one year or less. Inventory in excess of saleable amounts is reserved, and the remaining inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. This inventory valuation reserve totaled $537 thousand and $469 thousand at fiscal year-end 2014 and 2013, respectively. Inventories, net of the valuation reserve, at fiscal year-ends were as follows: | |||||||||||

Additionally, the Company had inventory totaling zero and $9,366 that has been reclassified to assets held for sale at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. | |||||||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment | |||||||||||
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed for financial reporting purposes principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: buildings, 20-30 years; leasehold improvements, term of the lease; machinery and equipment, 5-15 years; and tooling, dies and molds, 2-4 years. Property, plant and equipment consist of the following: | |||||||||||

The Company evaluates the recoverability of certain long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Estimates of future cash flows used to test recoverability of long-lived assets include separately identifiable undiscounted cash flows expected to arise from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Where estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, impairment losses are recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets. No asset impairment was recognized during the years ended 2014, 2013, or 2012. | |||||||||||
Additionally, the Company had property, plant and equipment totaling zero and $4,323 that has been reclassified to assets held for sale at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. | |||||||||||
Investments | |||||||||||
Investments are composed of the following: | |||||||||||
In Thousands | 2014 | 2013 | |||||||||
Non-marketable equity investments (equity method) | $ | 18,949 | $ | 19,455 | |||||||
Non-Marketable Equity Investments: The Company has a minority equity position in a company that strategically relates to the Company’s business, but does not have control over this company. The accounting method employed is dependent on the level of ownership and degree of influence the Company can exert on operations. Where the equity interest is less than 20% and the degree of influence is not significant, the cost method of accounting is employed. Where the equity interest is greater than 20% but not more than 50%, the equity method of accounting is utilized. Under the equity method, the Company’s proportionate share of net income (loss) is recorded in other income on the consolidated statement of operations. The proportionate share of net income was $3.9 million, $2.9 million and $3.0 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total cash dividends received from these equity investments amounted to $919 thousand, $617 thousand, and $444 thousand in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company considers whether the fair value of any of its equity investments have declined below their carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that recorded values may not be recoverable. If the Company considered any such decline to be other than temporary (based on various factors, including historical financial results, product development activities and overall health of the investments’ industry), a write-down is recorded to estimated fair value. | |||||||||||
During 2013, the decision was made to cease operations and liquidate Escalade International, Ltd. Losses incurred include shutdown costs. As a result, the Company’s 50% portion of net loss for Escalade International, Ltd. for 2013 ($343) thousand and is included in other income on the Company’s statements of operations. | |||||||||||
During 2012, Escalade International, Ltd. performed below expectations, and this entity encountered unexpected attrition of certain significant customers as of the end of the third quarter 2012. Due to these events, the Company evaluated the economic and strategic benefits of continuing to hold this investment. Based on the review performed as of October 6, 2012, the Company determined that the fair value of this investment was less than its carrying value and that this impairment was other than temporary. As a result, the Company recognized other than temporary impairment of $382 thousand. | |||||||||||
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | |||||||||||
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets consist of patents, consulting agreements, non-compete agreements, customer lists, and trademarks. Goodwill and trademarks are deemed to have indefinite lives and are not amortized, but are subject to impairment testing annually in accordance with guidance included in FASB ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the following lives: consulting agreements, the life of the agreement; customer lists, 5 to 13 years; non-compete agreements, the lesser of the term or 5 years; and patents, the lesser of the remaining life or 5 to 9 years. | |||||||||||
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, in accordance with guidance in FASB ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. A qualitative assessment is first performed to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit is "more likely than not" less than the carrying value. If so, we proceed to step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test, in which the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If not, then performance of the second step of the goodwill impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied estimated fair value calculated in the second step, an impairment charge to current operations is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the implied estimated fair value. | |||||||||||
During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment existed to require an interim goodwill impairment analysis for the Martin Yale Group reporting unit, which comprised the Information Security and Print Finishing operating segment that is reported as discontinued operations. These indicators included lower than expected operating profits and cash flows for the first nine months of 2012, coupled with continued economic weakness in the European and Asian markets. | |||||||||||
Based on this continuing trend, the earnings forecast for the next five years was revised resulting in a goodwill impairment loss of $13.2 million in the third quarter. In addition, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment for the Information Security and Print Finishing segment related to other intangibles of $0.2 million. The goodwill impairment loss reduced to zero the carrying value of goodwill recorded as part of various acquisitions in the Information Security and Print Finishing segment for purchases from 2003 through 2008. | |||||||||||
Employee Incentive Plan | |||||||||||
During 2007, the Company replaced two stock-based compensation plans with a new incentive plan explained in Note 10. The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of FASB ASC 718, Equity Based Payments. | |||||||||||
Foreign Currency Translation | |||||||||||
The functional currency for the foreign operations of Escalade is the local currency. The translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the year. The gains or losses resulting from the translation are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and are excluded from net income (loss). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were insignificant in fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012. | |||||||||||
Cost of Products Sold | |||||||||||
Cost of products sold is comprised of those costs directly associated with or allocated to the products sold and include materials, labor and factory overhead. | |||||||||||

New Accounting Pronouncements | |||||||||||
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 provides a narrower definition of discontinued operations than under existing GAAP. The standard update requires that only disposals of components of an entity (or groups of components) that represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the reporting entity’s operations are reported in the financial statements as discontinued operations. The standard also provides guidance on the financial statement presentations and disclosures of discontinued operations. The ASU is effective prospectively for disposals (or classifications of businesses as held-for-sale) of components of an entity that occur in annual or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and early adoption is permitted. We early adopted ASU 2014-08 effective in the second quarter of 2014. | |||||||||||
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Management is evaluating the provisions of this statement and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations. | |||||||||||

Valuation and Qualifying Accounts [Abstract] | |||||||||||
Schedule of Valuation and Qualifying Accounts Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 2 — Certain Significant Estimates | ||||||||||
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and judgments are evaluated on an ongoing basis and are based on experience; current and expected future conditions; third party evaluations; and various other assumptions believed reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the financial statements and related notes. | |||||||||||
Listed below are certain significant estimates and assumptions related to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements: | |||||||||||
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | |||||||||||
In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, it is necessary to estimate the fair values of the reporting unit. In making this assessment, the Company estimates the fair market values of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model and comparable market value data for similar entities. Key assumptions and estimates used in the cash flow model include discount rate, internal sales growth, margins, capital expenditure requirements, and working capital requirements. Recent performance of the reporting unit is an important factor, but not the only factor, in the assessment. | |||||||||||
Other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the following lives: consulting agreements, the life of the agreement; customer lists, 5 to 13 years; non-compete agreements, the lesser of the term or 5 years; and patents, the lesser of the remaining life or 5 to 9 years. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. | |||||||||||
There are inherent assumptions and judgments required in the analysis of goodwill and intangible impairment. | |||||||||||
Product Warranty | |||||||||||
The Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products, for varying periods. Generally, the warranty periods range from 90 days to one year. However, some products carry extended warranties of seven-year, ten-year, and lifetime warranties. The Company records an accrued liability and reduction in sales for estimated future warranty claims based upon historical experience and management’s estimate of the level of future claims. Changes in the estimated amounts recognized in prior years are recorded as an adjustment to the accrued liability and sales in the current year. Changes in product warranty were as follows: | |||||||||||

Inventory Valuation Reserves | |||||||||||
The Company evaluates inventory for obsolescence and excess quantities based on demand forecasts based on specified time frames; usually one year. The demand forecast is based on historical usage, sales forecasts and current as well as anticipated market conditions. All amounts in excess of the demand forecast are deemed to be excess or obsolete and a reserve is established based on the anticipated net realizable value. Changes in inventory valuation reserves were as follows: | |||||||||||

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | |||||||||||
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts receivable are ordinarily due between 30 and 60 days after the issuance of the invoice. Accounts are considered delinquent when more than 90 days past due. Delinquent receivables are reserved or written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.

The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, in accordance with guidance in FASB ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. A qualitative assessment is first performed to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit is "more likely than not" less than the carrying value. If so, we proceed to step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test, in which the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If not, then performance of the second step of the goodwill impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied estimated fair value calculated in the second step, an impairment charge to current operations is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the implied estimated fair value. | ||||||||||||||||||||

The Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture, Stiga Sports AB (Stiga). The joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Stiga, located in Sweden, is a global sporting goods company producing table tennis equipment and game products. Financial information for Stiga reflected in the table below has been translated from local currency to U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the respective year-end for balance sheet amounts and using average exchange rates for income statement amounts. Certain differences exist between U.S. GAAP and local GAAP in Sweden, and the impact of these differences is not reflected in the summarized information reflected in the table below. The most significant difference relates to the accounting for goodwill for Stiga which is amortized over eight years in Sweden but is not amortized for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes. The effect on Stiga’s net assets resulting from the amortization of goodwill for the years ended 2014 and 2013 are addbacks of $11.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively. These net differences are comprised of cumulative goodwill adjustments of $16.0 million offset by the related cumulative tax effect of $4.6 million as of December 27, 2014 and cumulative goodwill adjustments of $18.3 million offset by the related cumulative tax effect of $5.2 million as of December 28, 2013. The income statement impact of these goodwill and tax adjustments and other individually insignificant U.S. GAAP adjustments for the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012 are to increase total Stiga net income by approximately $0.8 million, $1.8 million, and $1.7 million, respectively. | |||||||||||
In addition, the Company had a 50% interest in Neoteric Industries Inc. in Taiwan. The income and assets of Neoteric had no material impact on the Company’s financial reporting. During 2014, the decision was made to divested the Company’s 50% interest in Neoteric Industries Inc. in Taiwan as part of the divestiture of the Information Security and Print Finishing businesses. | |||||||||||
During 2013, the Company also had a 50% interest in Escalade International Ltd. that was a sporting goods wholesaler, specializing in fitness equipment. The decision was made during 2013 to cease operations and liquidate Escalade International, Ltd. Losses incurred include shutdown costs. As a result, the Company’s 50% portion of net loss for Escalade International, Ltd. for 2013 was ($343) thousand and is included in other income on the Company’s statements of operations. The Company’s 50% portion of net income (loss) for Escalade International for the years ended December 29, 2012, was ($137) thousand, and is included in other income on the Company’s statements of operations. Additional information regarding these entities is considered immaterial and has not been included in the combined totals listed below. | |||||||||||
During 2012, Escalade International, Ltd. performed below expectations, and the entity encountered unexpected attrition of certain significant customers through the end of the third quarter 2012. Due to these events, the Company evaluated the economic and strategic benefits of continuing to hold this investment. Based on the review as of October 6, 2012, the Company determined that the fair value of this investment was less than its carrying value and that this impairment was other than temporary. As a result, the Company recognized other than temporary impairment of $382 thousand. | |||||||||||

The 2014 restricted stock units awarded to employees vest over four years (one-third two years from grant date, one-third three years from grant date and one-third four years from grant date) provided that the employee is still employed by the Company and that the performance criteria related to the market price of the Company’s stock is satisfied. The criteria is for any 30 consecutive trading days on the NASDAQ Stock Market (or such other principal securities exchange on which the Company’s shares of common stock are then traded) during the period beginning on the grant date and ending on the fourth anniversary thereof, the cumulative average Volume Weighted Average Price per share is at least 15% higher than the closing price per share on the grant date plus any incremental dividends paid above the quarterly dividend rate on the grant date by the Company during such four year period. The performance criteria for the 2014 restricted stock units awarded to employees was satisfied during the second quarter of 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The restricted stock units granted to directors vest immediately or within two years. All restricted stock units are payable in shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting, subject to the deferral election arrangement, and are subject to forfeiture if on the vesting date the director no longer holds a position with the Company. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company issued no restricted stock units to employees or directors in 2013 and 2012. The following table presents a summary of non-vested restricted stock units granted to employees and directors as of December 27, 2014: | ||||||||||||||||||||

When vesting is dependent on certain market criteria, the fair value of restricted stock units is determined by the use of Monte Carlo techniques. The market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date is used to value restricted stock units where vesting is not contingent on market criteria. In 2014, 2013, and 2012 the Company recognized $191 thousand, $0, and $0 thousand respectively in compensation expense related to restricted stock units and as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, there was $334 thousand and $0 respectively, of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Stock Options | ||||||||||||||||||||
Total compensation expense recorded in the statements of operations for 2014, 2013 and 2012 relating to stock options was $525 thousand, $557 thousand and $574 thousand, respectively. As of December 27, 2014, there were $237 thousand of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. | ||||||||||||||||||||
During 2014, the Company awarded 25,000 stock options to directors. The stock options awarded to directors vest at the end of one year and have an exercise price equal to the market price on the date of grant. Director stock options are subject to forfeiture, except for termination of services as a result of retirement, death or disability, if on the vesting date the director no longer holds a position with the Company. No stock options were awarded to employees during 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 11 — Discontinued Operations | |||||||
On October 1, 2014, the Company completed the sale of the Information Security business. The sale of the Information Security business, coupled with the previously announced sale of our Print Finishing business on June 30, 2014, represents the Company’s exit from the Information Security and Print Finishing segment. As a result, the Information Security and Print Finishing segment has been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented and certain assets and liabilities in prior periods are classified as held for sale. | ||||||||
As a result of the divestiture of the Information Security and Print Finishing segment, the Company incurred a loss on disposal of assets of $9.6 million, income from reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income from foreign currency translation adjustments of $2.6 million and a tax benefit of $6.1 million. Under the terms of the final purchase agreement for the Information Security business divestiture, the Company contributed to its international Information Security operations, all claims related to intercompany debt of this operation prior to the divestiture operations. The Company also assumed the foreign tax liability related to this gain; however, it was able to utilize previously reserved net operating loss carry-forwards to offset the majority of the related tax liability. | ||||||||
As of the second quarter of 2014, the Company determined the carrying value of the Information Security business assets was greater than their fair value, less the cost to sell the Information Security business, resulting in an impairment of certain accounts receivables, inventories, long-lived assets, intangible assets and other assets totaling $12.9 million. The impairment charge reduced the carrying value of intangible assets to fair value and the remaining assets to the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The fair value for these assets was determined by estimating the most likely sale price with a third-party buyer based on market data. Because of the significance of the unobservable inputs and management’s judgment used in the assets held for sale analysis, these measurements were classified in level three of the valuation hierarchy. | ||||||||

Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 16 — Acquisitions |
All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. | |
2014 | |
On October 22, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all the business and assets of Cue & Case Sales, Inc., a leader in specialty billiard accessories. The total purchase price of $10.4 million was paid in cash. The more significant assets acquired comprised of customer lists ($4,060), inventory ($3,260), goodwill ($1,633), tradenames ($987) and receivables ($372). | |
2013 | |
In November 2013, the Company acquired substantially all of the business and assets of DMI Sports, Inc. relating to DMI’s indoor games and accessories such as darts, table tennis, game tables, and billiards. Escalade believes these assets, including the acquired brands and trade names, will complement Escalade’s existing product lines in this category. Escalade did not acquire the outdoor games business conducted by DMI Sports, which business was retained by DMI Sports. The total price of $6.1 million was paid in cash. The more significant assets acquired comprised of inventory ($2,705), goodwill ($1,095), patented technology ($706), customer lists ($569), non-compete ($300) and trademarks ($210). | |
These acquisitions were not and would not have been material to the Company’s net sales, results of operations or total assets during the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. Accordingly, our consolidated results from operations do not differ materially from historical performance as a result of these acquisitions, and therefore, pro-forma results are not presented. | |

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended | ||||||||||
Dec. 27, 2014 | |||||||||||
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Principles of Consolidation | ||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Escalade, Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. | |||||||||||
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation | ||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The books and records of subsidiaries located in foreign countries are maintained according to generally accepted accounting principles in those countries. Upon consolidation, the Company evaluates the differences in accounting principles and determines whether adjustments are necessary to convert the foreign financial statements to the accounting principles upon which the consolidated financial statements are based. As a result of this evaluation no material adjustments were identified. | |||||||||||
Fiscal Period, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fiscal Year End | ||||||||||
The Company’s fiscal year is a 52 or 53 week period ending on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal year 2014 was 52 weeks long, ending on December 27, 2014. Fiscal year 2013 was 52 weeks long, ending on December 28, 2013. Fiscal year 2012 was 52 weeks long, ending on December 29, 2012. | |||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||||||||||
Highly liquid financial instruments with insignificant interest rate risk and with original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash and cash equivalents. | |||||||||||
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Accounts Receivable | ||||||||||
Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products is recognized as products are shipped to customers and accounts receivable are stated at the amount billed to customers. Interest and late charges billed to customers are not material and, because collection is uncertain, are not recognized until collected and are therefore not included in accounts receivable. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts which is described in Note 2 – Certain Significant Estimates. | |||||||||||
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Inventories | ||||||||||
Inventory cost is computed on a currently adjusted standard cost basis (which approximates actual cost on a current average or first-in, first-out basis). Work in process and finished goods inventory are determined to be saleable based on a demand forecast within a specific time horizon, generally one year or less. Inventory in excess of saleable amounts is reserved, and the remaining inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. This inventory valuation reserve totaled $537 thousand and $469 thousand at fiscal year-end 2014 and 2013, respectively. Inventories, net of the valuation reserve, at fiscal year-ends were as follows: | |||||||||||

Additionally, the Company had inventory totaling zero and $9,366 that has been reclassified to assets held for sale at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. | |||||||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Property, Plant and Equipment | ||||||||||
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed for financial reporting purposes principally using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: buildings, 20-30 years; leasehold improvements, term of the lease; machinery and equipment, 5-15 years; and tooling, dies and molds, 2-4 years. Property, plant and equipment consist of the following: | |||||||||||

The Company evaluates the recoverability of certain long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Estimates of future cash flows used to test recoverability of long-lived assets include separately identifiable undiscounted cash flows expected to arise from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Where estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, impairment losses are recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets. No asset impairment was recognized during the years ended 2014, 2013, or 2012. | |||||||||||
Additionally, the Company had property, plant and equipment totaling zero and $4,323 that has been reclassified to assets held for sale at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. | |||||||||||
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Investments | ||||||||||
Investments are composed of the following: | |||||||||||
In Thousands | 2014 | 2013 | |||||||||
Non-marketable equity investments (equity method) | $ | 18,949 | $ | 19,455 | |||||||
Non-Marketable Equity Investments: The Company has a minority equity position in a company that strategically relates to the Company’s business, but does not have control over this company. The accounting method employed is dependent on the level of ownership and degree of influence the Company can exert on operations. Where the equity interest is less than 20% and the degree of influence is not significant, the cost method of accounting is employed. Where the equity interest is greater than 20% but not more than 50%, the equity method of accounting is utilized. Under the equity method, the Company’s proportionate share of net income (loss) is recorded in other income on the consolidated statement of operations. The proportionate share of net income was $3.9 million, $2.9 million and $3.0 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total cash dividends received from these equity investments amounted to $919 thousand, $617 thousand, and $444 thousand in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company considers whether the fair value of any of its equity investments have declined below their carrying value whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances indicate that recorded values may not be recoverable. If the Company considered any such decline to be other than temporary (based on various factors, including historical financial results, product development activities and overall health of the investments’ industry), a write-down is recorded to estimated fair value. | |||||||||||
During 2013, the decision was made to cease operations and liquidate Escalade International, Ltd. Losses incurred include shutdown costs. As a result, the Company’s 50% portion of net loss for Escalade International, Ltd. for 2013 ($343) thousand and is included in other income on the Company’s statements of operations. | |||||||||||
During 2012, Escalade International, Ltd. performed below expectations, and this entity encountered unexpected attrition of certain significant customers as of the end of the third quarter 2012. Due to these events, the Company evaluated the economic and strategic benefits of continuing to hold this investment. Based on the review performed as of October 6, 2012, the Company determined that the fair value of this investment was less than its carrying value and that this impairment was other than temporary. As a result, the Company recognized other than temporary impairment of $382 thousand. | |||||||||||
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Goodwill and Intangible Assets | ||||||||||
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets consist of patents, consulting agreements, non-compete agreements, customer lists, and trademarks. Goodwill and trademarks are deemed to have indefinite lives and are not amortized, but are subject to impairment testing annually in accordance with guidance included in FASB ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the following lives: consulting agreements, the life of the agreement; customer lists, 5 to 13 years; non-compete agreements, the lesser of the term or 5 years; and patents, the lesser of the remaining life or 5 to 9 years. | |||||||||||
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, in accordance with guidance in FASB ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. A qualitative assessment is first performed to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit is "more likely than not" less than the carrying value. If so, we proceed to step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test, in which the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If not, then performance of the second step of the goodwill impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied estimated fair value calculated in the second step, an impairment charge to current operations is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the implied estimated fair value. | |||||||||||
During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment existed to require an interim goodwill impairment analysis for the Martin Yale Group reporting unit, which comprised the Information Security and Print Finishing operating segment that is reported as discontinued operations. These indicators included lower than expected operating profits and cash flows for the first nine months of 2012, coupled with continued economic weakness in the European and Asian markets. | |||||||||||
Based on this continuing trend, the earnings forecast for the next five years was revised resulting in a goodwill impairment loss of $13.2 million in the third quarter. In addition, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment for the Information Security and Print Finishing segment related to other intangibles of $0.2 million. The goodwill impairment loss reduced to zero the carrying value of goodwill recorded as part of various acquisitions in the Information Security and Print Finishing segment for purchases from 2003 through 2008. | |||||||||||
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | Employee Incentive Plan | ||||||||||
During 2007, the Company replaced two stock-based compensation plans with a new incentive plan explained in Note 10. The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of FASB ASC 718, Equity Based Payments. | |||||||||||
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block] | Foreign Currency Translation | ||||||||||
The functional currency for the foreign operations of Escalade is the local currency. The translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during the year. The gains or losses resulting from the translation are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and are excluded from net income (loss). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were insignificant in fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012. | |||||||||||

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Provision for Income Taxes | ||||||||||
Income tax in the consolidated statement of operations includes deferred income tax provisions or benefits for all significant temporary differences in recognizing income and expenses for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. | |||||||||||
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Research and Development | ||||||||||
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development costs incurred during 2014, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $1.7 million, $1.2 million, and $1.0 million, respectively | |||||||||||
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Reclassifications | ||||||||||
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings. | |||||||||||
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | New Accounting Pronouncements | ||||||||||
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 provides a narrower definition of discontinued operations than under existing GAAP. The standard update requires that only disposals of components of an entity (or groups of components) that represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the reporting entity’s operations are reported in the financial statements as discontinued operations. The standard also provides guidance on the financial statement presentations and disclosures of discontinued operations. The ASU is effective prospectively for disposals (or classifications of businesses as held-for-sale) of components of an entity that occur in annual or interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and early adoption is permitted. We early adopted ASU 2014-08 effective in the second quarter of 2014. | |||||||||||
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Management is evaluating the provisions of this statement and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations. | |||||||||||
