Style #JCS29 – A woman’s tank style sleep top constructed from 100% cotton knit fabric. The sleeveless garment features a U-shaped neckline in front and back, a screen-printed logo on the back panel, a screen-printed design on the front panel, and a hemmed bottom.

Based on the appearance of the submitted garments, as well as the submitted marketing information, they are considered sleepwear.

We are returning your samples as you requested.
