The jacket features a full-front opening secured by a zipper closure, a storm flap secured by seven snap closures, long sleeves with cuffs of corduroy fabric, a collar of corduroy fabric, two patch pockets at or below the waist with flaps secured by snap closures, a locker loop, a large sewn-in pocket with zipper closure on the back of the garment, and an elasticized drawstring tightening at the bottom. The jacket is fully with lined with polyfill.

The applicable subheading for the boy's jacket, Style No. 0500841 will be 6210.40.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Garments, made up of fabrics of heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907: Other men's or boys' garments: Of man-made fibers: Having an outer surface impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with rubber or plastics material which completely obscures the underlying fabric. The rate of duty will be 6.5% ad valorem.
