One shell is constructed from 56 percent acrylic, 40 percent cotton and 4 percent polyester woven fabric. The reverse shell is constructed from 100 percent polyester woven fabric. Both shells feature long sleeves with vents, a standup collar and a full front opening secured by six snap closures. Both shells also feature contrasting colored ribbon and fringe trim around the collar, front opening, sleeves and bottom of the garment. The acrylic/cotton/polyester side features two chest pockets and two pockets below the waist. The pockets have flaps and are embellished with fringe and contrasting colored ribbon trim.

The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6204.33.5010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women’s or girls’ suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear): suit-type jackets and blazers: of synthetic fibers: other: women’s.
