The other of these components is an unlined jacket, characterized by long sleeves, by a collar, by a full-front opening which fastens together by means of toggles in a right-over-left fashion, and by an ornamented pocket at the lower portion of each of the fronts.

As you have requested, the sample style is being returned.

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.
