Product description
The sample will be returned to you as requested. The submitted sample, style M3005, Pacific Flyer is a man’s suede-look PVC coat. The “suede” seems to have been constructed from knit scrim covered on both sides with cellular PVC. The product then appears to have been embossed on one surface with a “leather” grain and coated on the outer with textile flock to simulate “suede”. Accordingly, the flocked cellular PVC from which the jacket is made is not a fabric within the scope of Section XI. The coat is a mid-thigh suede look garment with two snap path pockets below the waist, two slash breast pockets, and zippered front pocket. The coat also features a detachable drawstring hood and a full front zippered closure with a snap storm flap.
