| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 1, 2026 were below the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% due to lower statutory tax rates applicable to the Company's operations in the foreign jurisdictions in which it earns income. During fiscal 2025, the Company received an assessment from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019, totaling approximately $267.0 million. The assessment excludes any penalties and interest. The assessment pertains to transfer pricing arrangements between the Company and one of its wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries. The Company firmly disagrees with this assessment and maintains that its transfer pricing is appropriate. Consequently, the Company has not recorded any additional tax liability related to fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019 in relation to this issue, nor to any other periods. The Company intends to vigorously defend its original tax return position and is preparing for an appeal with the IRS. Should the IRS ultimately prevail regarding its assessments for fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019, such a resolution, along with any potential impact on subsequent fiscal years, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s income tax expense and net earnings in future periods.
