The item has small mesh inserts with grommets under each sleeve where it meets the body panels, slant pockets at the waist, elasticized fabric at the sleeve ends and the bottom hem, a back yoke with a hook and loop center fastener over a mesh partial lining and a Major League Baseball logo below the neck. The mesh inserts are not exposed in normal wear. This garment is eligible for classification as water resistant.
