The hood and center front panel of the garment is made of 70% angora and 30% nylon knit fabric which measures 9 or fewer stitches per 2 centimeters on the outer surface of the fabric measured in the direction in which the stitches were formed. The sleeves, side and back panels of the garment are made of finely knit 100% nylon fabric. The essential character of the garment is given by the finely knit nylon fabric: Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated, (HTSUSA), General Rules of Interpretation, (GRI), Rule 3 noted. Your garment will be returned as you have requested.
