6211.39.80.60 - Vests (859)

This classification, HTS Code 6211.39.80.60, specifically designates vests for men and boys, when these vests are not knitted or crocheted and are made from textile materials other than those specified in preceding subheadings. The key characteristic is the garment's form – a sleeveless upper-body garment designed to be worn over other clothing or as outerwear. This category serves as a residual for vests that do not fall under more specific classifications within heading 6211.

It is important to distinguish these vests from their sibling categories. For instance, 6211.39.80.10 covers coveralls, jumpsuits, and similar one-piece garments, while 6211.39.80.20 pertains to washsuits, sunsuits, and playsuits. Other siblings address tracksuits, specific types of shirts (6211.39.80.50), and jackets (6211.39.80.70). Therefore, this "Vests" classification is exclusively for garments that fit the definition of a vest and do not conform to the descriptions of these other distinct apparel types.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from this code. Classification within this subheading relies heavily on the physical definition of a vest and its exclusion from other more narrowly defined garment types within Chapter 62.
