During a live interview on Mad Money Chirico seemed to confirm Cramer's thesis.
"We're really positioning ourselves for long-term growth," explained Chirico. "We feel strongly that by making this kind of investment today, we can have out-sized growth in 2014 and beyond. I think we bought Warnaco at just the right time especially to capture real growth in the jeans business."
