Product description
The sample will be returned to you under separate cover. The submitted sample, Style TH681900001, is a women’s cardigan. The entire front panels, top half of the sleeves and the yoke are constructed from 100% knit polyester coated with a cellular plastic that completely obscures the underlying fabric. The bottom half of the sleeves are constructed from 65% rayon, 30% nylon and 5% elastane knit fabric. The back of the garment excluding the yoke is construced from 100% nylon lace-like fabric. The unlined garment features a full front opening with no means of closure and pockets at the waist. Although Style TH681900001 is of cellular construction, the backing fabric is used in lieu of a lining for comfort and therefore, is used for more than mere reinforcement. As a result, the garment is considered to be made of fabric of heading 5903.
