The garments extend below the waist and are normally worn over other garments for warmth and protection from the weather. The garments feature pointed collars, full front openings with 5 snap closures, and 2 front slant inset pockets in the waist area. The sides extending from the shoulder areas to the bottom are open with the exception of a button closure (in the elbow area) that may simulate a sleeve. The sides may be worn opened or buttoned. The collar and the bottom edges of style 747292 are finished with woven wool fabric. Style 747291 has self fabric facing sewn to the bottom of the garment edges.

The applicable subheading for styles 747292 and 747291 will be 6102.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for women’s capesand similar articles, knitted, other than those of heading 6104: of wool or fine animal hair.
