The jumper features a square neckline, cut away shoulders, 2 1/2 inch wide shoulder straps, partial side openings secured by three buttons and an upper back center pocket.

The designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.
