Unbleached Wool-Cotton Canvas Work Jacket Fabric from Japan

This heavy unbleached woven cotton fabric, weighing over 200 g/m², contains 40% wool blended with 60% cotton, designed for durable work jackets. It falls under HTS 5212.21.10.10 as an unbleached fabric with 36% or more wool or fine animal hair, not combed, meeting Chapter 52 criteria for mixed cotton weaves. The fabric's warp-faced twill structure and raw finish classify it here rather than in pure wool headings.
