Napped Flax-Cotton Acrylic Blend Fabric
A napped woven fabric with a fuzzy surface, composed of 70% flax, 20% cotton, and 10% acrylic, used for casual jackets. The napped finish distinguishes it from pile weaves, and as a flax-based fabric with less than 85% flax, it falls under tariff item 5309.29.00. The blend of flax with cotton and a man-made fibre places it in the 'other' category for mixed flax fabrics.
