Product description

The submitted sample is being returned as per your request. Style 408095 is a “My Favorite Things Colleen Lopez” label women’s cardigan sweater that is constructed of a 100% acrylic jersey fabric. The outer surface of the fabric measures nine or fewer stitches per two centimeters in the direction the stitches were formed. Style 408095 is decorated with sewn-on sequins on the outer surface of the garment. The linked and looped cardigan sweater features a v-shaped neckline with a notched lapel collar, a full front opening that is secured by two button closures, curved bottom edges on the lower front panels, and three quarter length sleeves. The garment extends from the shoulders to below the waist. You asserted classification as a suit-type jacket, however, the garment’s fabric and styling are more akin to that of a sweater than of a suit-type jacket. Accordingly, Style 408095 is properly classified as a sweater of Heading 6110.
