in the fabric resulting in a very soft finish,
smoother appearing surface and reduced
shrinkage.

pattern.
Extended Tail
When the back portion of the garment is longer
than the front. Assists in keeping the garment
tucked in during normal activity.

allow for breathability. Finished with either
stitching or brass grommets.
Full Cut
