6204.69.15 - Bib and brace overalls

This HTS category, 6204.69.15, specifically classifies bib and brace overalls made from textile materials other than cotton, wool, fine animal hair, or man-made staple fibers. These garments are characterized by their trousers that extend upwards to cover the chest, held in place by shoulder straps or braces. They are designed for both functional and protective purposes, commonly worn in work environments or as casual wear.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Trousers, breeches and shorts," is the defining feature of the bib and brace construction. While trousers, breeches, and shorts are typically waist-based garments, bib and brace overalls include the chest-covering bib and attached straps, setting them apart in design and function. The "Of other textile materials" further refines this by excluding garments primarily made from the aforementioned common textile categories.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on specific attributes. The subcategories account for variations such as insulation for cold weather protection, ensuring that specialized garments are appropriately categorized. The "Other" subcategory then serves as a residual for bib and brace overalls that do not fall into these more specific subdivisions, allowing for a comprehensive classification of all relevant items.
