Wool-Blend Cotton Poplin Shirt Fabric from Germany
This lightweight woven fabric, weighing under 200 g/m², combines cotton yarns of different colors with at least 36% wool, creating a soft, breathable material ideal for dress shirts. It falls under HTS 5212.14.10.10 because it is not combed, uses multi-colored cotton yarns, and meets the wool content threshold in Chapter 52 for blended woven fabrics. The poplin weave provides a smooth finish suitable for tailored apparel.
