The outer surface of the garment measures more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters in the horizontal direction. The cardigan extends from the shoulder to the knee area and features the following: a V-neckline, long sleeves, a full front opening with 3 button closures, 2 front patch pockets below the waist, and 2 side vents.

Style 220-705129 is a woman’s cardigan that is made from 100% acrylic, jersey knit fabric. The outer surface of the cardigan measures more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters in the horizontal direction. The garment features a hood, a V-neckline, long tubular hemmed sleeves, a full front opening with 9 button closures, 2 belt loops, a self-fabric tie belt at the waist, and a tubular hemmed bottom.

In addition, the designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment.
