Our response was delayed due to laboratory analysis, during which the sample you submitted was destroyed. Style JS200 is a man’s hip-length jacket constructed from a 100% polyester woven fabric bonded to a 100% polyester finely brushed knit fabric. The brushed knit fabric was analyzed by the CBP laboratory and found to be of weft knit pile construction. The jacket features a full front opening secured with zipper closure extending to the top of the collar, long tapered hemmed sleeves with adjustable hook and loop cuffs, zipper pockets below the waist, and an inner elasticized drawstring with cord locks through the hemmed bottom.
