sample has a low, rounded front neckline; a rear neckline which reaches

two inches in width at the shoulder seam; and oversized armholes. The
neckline, armholes, and bottom are finished with one-half inch wide
capping.
The second sample (no style number indicated) is a man's pullover
garment which is constructed from 100 percent cotton, knit mesh fabric.
The garment features a round neckline and short sleeves. The neckline,
sleeve openings, and bottom are finished with one-half inch wide
capping.
As requested, your samples will be returned.
