The jacket has fringed and leather trim around the sleeve edges, collar, front opening, pockets and bottom of the garment. The pullover is constructed from 90 percent polyester and 10 percent spandex woven fabric. The pullover features a round neckline, long sleeves and hemmed bottom. The outer surface of the pullover measures more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters in the horizontal direction.
