Product description
As per your request, the submitted sample is being returned. Style 3575 is a women’s “Charter Club” label cardigan constructed of a 72% cotton 28% nylon jersey fabric. The outer surface of the jersey fabric measures more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters counted in the direction that the stitches were formed. The cardigan features a rounded front neckline with a self-fabric neckband, a 7 button full front opening with a 1 x 1 ribbed knit placket, long sleeves with 1 x 2 ribbed knit self-start bottoms, and a 1 x 2 ribbed knit self-start straight garment bottom. With the exception of the ribbed knit bottom, the front panels are overlaid with a knitted Raschel lace-like fabric. The placket is overlaid with woven ribbon. The garment extends to below the waist. The knitted raschel lace-like overlays are decorative additions to the garment.
