Men's or boys' overcoats, car coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski jackets), windcheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles, other than those of heading 6203 Overcoats, raincoats, car coats, capes, cloaks and similar articles One characteristic of these ‘overcoats and similar articles’ is that, when worn, they should cover the body at least to mid-thigh. In general, in the case of standard sizes (normal sizes) of men's garments (excluding boys'), this minimum length, measured from the collar seam at the nape (seventh vertebra) to the bottom edge, with the garment laid flat, corresponds to the measurements in centimetres in the table below (see sketch below). The measurements shown in the table represent averages taken from a range of garments in the standard sizes (normal sizes) for men (excluding boys) — S (small, small sizes), M (medium, medium sizes) and L (large, large sizes). Length in centimetres measured down the back of the garment, from the nape seam to the bottom edge of the garment — men's standard sizes (excluding boys') Garments not long enough to be classified as overcoats or similar, with the exception of car coats (car coats and similar — see definition below) which also belong here, should be classified in subheadings 6201 91 00 to 6201 99 00 . Car coats Car coats are loose-fitting outer garments with long sleeves and are worn over all other clothing for protection against the weather. They are more formal in appearance than parkas and are generally made from non-lightweight textile fabrics (for example, tweed, loden cloth) other than those referred to in heading 5602 , 5603 , 5903 , 5906 or 5907 00 00 . Car coats vary in length from below the crotch to mid-thigh. They can be single- or double-breasted. Car coats generally have the following features: Optional features: Car coats do not have the following features: The expression ‘and similar’, as far as car coats are concerned, includes also garments which have the same characteristics as car coats but have a hood. These subheadings include garments known as ‘parkas’ which are distinctively styled garments designed to provide protection against the cold, wind and rain. They are loose-fitting outer garments with long sleeves. Parkas of these subheadings are made from non-lightweight, close-woven fabrics other than those referred to in heading 5903 , 5906 or 5907 00 00 . Parkas vary in length from mid-thigh to knee. Parkas must also have all the following features: 6201 91 00 to 6201 99 00 Other These subheadings include anoraks, windcheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles as described below: 1. Anoraks (including ski jackets) and similar articles Anoraks are garments designed to protect against wind, cold and rain. They have many features in common with parkas but differ, among other things, as regards their length. This can vary from well below waist length to mid-thigh, but not further down. Anoraks of these subheadings are made from close-woven fabrics (other than those referred to in heading 5903 , 5906 or 5907 00 00 ). Anoraks have the following features: In addition, anoraks usually have at least one of the following: In relation to anoraks, the term ‘and similar articles’ includes: (a) garments which have the features of an anorak except for either: It also includes garments defined above as anoraks which have only a partial opening and fastening system at the front. It does not include garments which have neither a hood nor a lining; (b) garments without a lining which have long sleeves and may extend well below the hips but not beyond mid-thigh. They are made from close-woven textile fabrics (other than those referred to in heading 5903 , 5906 or 5907 00 00 ) and are proofed or treated to provide adequate protection particularly against the rain. They have a hood but generally do not open for the full length of the garment at the front. Where there is only a partial opening, a fastening system may not be present but, in that case, a protective gusset must be incorporated at the opening. They usually have elastication or a tightening facility at the sleeve ends and bottom of the garment. Garments which would otherwise be covered by the term ‘anoraks (including ski jackets) and similar articles’ but have neither a hood nor a lining could however be covered by the term ‘and similar articles’ when this is used in relation to windcheaters. 2. Windcheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles (a) Windcheaters are garments designed to afford some protection against the weather. They extend to the hips or just below. They are made from close-woven fabrics. They are usually shower-proof but, unlike anoraks, they do not have a hood. Windcheaters have the following features: In addition, their sleeve-ends may be close-fitting, elasticated or tightened by some other means. (b) Wind-jackets (commonly referred to as ‘blousons’) are outer garments covering the upper part of the body. They are usually of a full, loose-fitting cut which gives the garment a bloused look, and extend to the waist or just below. They have long sleeves which extend below the bottom of the garment. The textile fabrics from which they are made need not be weather-protective. Wind-jackets have the following features: In addition wind-jackets may have: In relation to wind-jackets, the term ‘and similar articles’ includes garments which have all the features described at (b) above except for one of the following: These subheadings exclude: (a) overcoats, raincoats, car coats, capes, cloaks and similar articles falling in subheadings 6201 11 00 to 6201 19 00 ; (b) overcoats, raincoats, car coats, capes, cloaks and similar articles falling in subheadings 6202 11 00 to 6202 19 00 ; (c) jackets and blazers falling in subheadings 6203 31 00 to 6203 39 90 or 6204 31 00 to 6204 39 90 ; (d) anoraks, windcheaters, waister jackets and the like, of textile fabrics of heading 5903 , 5906 or 5907 00 00 , or of nonwovens of heading 5603 , falling in heading 6210 .
