The garment has two rear pockets, one with a flap and both with button closures.

Style 100-870-716 is a man’s woven pant made from 100 percent polyester. The garment has two front side pockets located at the hip area with a zippered front closure with two buttons and a clasp at the waistband, a partial elastic adjustable waistband and two rear pockets with button closures.

In addition, the designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts.
