The garment is sleeveless and features a V-neckline and a rib knit waistband. The neckline and the armholes are finished with self-fabric edging.

Style 77057 is a men's pullover garment constructed from 50 percent wool, 50 percent acrylic, 1x1 rib knit fabric containing 18 stitches per two centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. The garment features a V-neckline; long sleeves with rib knit cuffs; and a rib knit waistband. The neckline is finished with self-fabric edging.
