Product description
Style ID-45062001 is a boy’s hooded cardigan constructed from 95 percent polyester and 5 percent spandex finely knit, printed, spacer fabric.

The unlined garment features a full front opening with a zipper closure; long, hemmed sleeves; two welt side pockets on the front panels below the waist; two inner pockets below the waist and a loose fitting bottom band.
