The sample submitted, style number 99522, is a women’s ¾-length coat with a shell composed of a woven 100% polyester oxford fabric that has a visible polyurethane coating on the inner surface and is quilted to a nonwoven polyester batting insulation. The coat is lined in the body, sleeves and hood with a woven 100% polyester taffeta fabric. The coat is slightly fitted at the waist and measures 34-1/2 inches in the center back. It has a detachable hood with a drawcord tightening, a stand-up collar lined with a brushed tricot fabric and a full front opening secured by a zipper closure that extends to the top of the collar. An overlapping flap with three snaps and four hook and loop fasteners covers the front zipper. The coat has long hemmed sleeves, inner knit storm cuffs, two front pockets with zipper closures below the waist, a zippered pocket on the inner portion of the right placket, an inner pocket with a hook and loop fastener, an inner zipper opening between the shell fabric and the lining and a straight cut hemmed bottom.
