The jacket has a full front opening with a zipper closure that extends to the top of the collar, long sleeves, vertical zippered pockets at the waist, a zippered pocket in the left chest, and an elasticized drawstring with cord locks through the bottom hem. Laboratory analysis has determined that the inner layer of fabric of styles A and B are of weft knit pile construction. Following Chapter 60, Note 1(c), bonded knit pile fabric, whether bonded to a knit or to a woven fabric, is considered a knit fabric.
