You have submitted a sample of the Standard Clothes Check Bag, item #21100. The clothes bag is made up from open-work warp knit textile fabric of 100% polyester; the outer seams of the bag are finished with bias tape for extra durability and a clean finish. The mesh clothes bag has an opening at the top for a wide heavy metal hanger so the item can be hung. The clothes bag consists of two flaps that drape over the metal hanger. The extended bottom of the hanger can also have clothes folded over it. The front panel of the clothes bag has two pockets made by a center seam. The back panel is one large pocket. The overall measurements of the clothes check bag are 18” at the widest point and 40” long. The front panel includes a 4” x 6” clear vinyl pocket sewn down near the top. This item is designed to be used for domestic storage of various items. The open-work fabric would make this item an unwise choice for travel.
