Product description
An electronic photograph and description of each item was furnished. The items are Styles 2201 Shirt and 2200 Pants. Both styles are constructed of a top and bottom layer of spun bonded polypropylene and a middle layer of melt blown polypropylene, known as spun bonded-melt down-spun bonded (SMS) fabric. Style 2201 Shirt is disposable and features long sleeves, pointed collar, open cuffs, open bottom and a full front four snap closure.
