Style UM5220 is a men’s jacket constructed from two different fabrics.

The remainder of the garment consisting of the inner collar, the under-sleeves, and the major portions of the front and back panels are constructed from 100% polyester, double faced knit pile fabric that is napped on the inside and outside surfaces. Style UM5220 features a full front opening with a zippered closure, a stand-up collar; long sleeves with elasticized capping at the cuffs; an embroidered logo on the left chest; zippered side entry pockets below the waist; and elasticized capping at the bottom.
