Class Code 2501 Rates & Quotes

Clothing Manufacturing

Class code 2501 is used for employees that manufacture clothing on a large scale such as fur clothing and quilted cloth manufacturing. Qualifying operations include cutting fabric to size or pattern using hand or electric cutters, hand or machine sewing, finishing, labeling, pressing, inspecting and packaging. This code includes the manufacturing of automobile convertible tops, automobile seat covers, silk or synthetic fabric parachutes, plastic film parachutes, and inflatable balloons. For parachutes and balloons, materials such as plastic film, adhesive or thermoplastic tape and metal parts are received from outside sources. Parachute manufacturing includes sewing fabric envelopes as well as sewing the shroud lines to the envelopes, including harness risers and the parachute pack.

Class code 2501 applies to the manufacture of products produced from canvas, duck, or synthetic water-resistant fabrics such as awnings, tents, tarpaulins, laundry bags, knapsacks, and barracks bags among other products. It also includes the renovation or repairing of cotton, burlap, or gunny bags or sacks and includes sewing. These products may be fabricated by powered material cutters, sewing machines, grommet equipment, pipe and bar stock cutters and threaders.

Class code 2501 also includes silk screening of individual garments by hand. For silk-screened products, the operation may be done by hand or by a machine of a multiport nature; this machine resembles an octopus or carousel, and usually applies a different color at each port, creating multicolor pictures.

Several types of men’s and women’s hat manufacturing fall under class code 2501. First: Men’s straw hats made from braided straw stripping and Panama hat bodies received from others along with ribbons and sweatbands qualify. The Panama hat bodies do not require sewing. Qualifying finishing operations include sizing, hand blocking, ironing and machine blocking in a hydraulic press. Second: Men’s felt hats from felt hat bodies received from others along with ribbons, sweatbands and linings. The latter should be attached after the bodies are processed by steaming, sizing, ironing, crown pouncing, curling and press blocking under hydraulic presses. Third: Hat manufacturers that turn out fur or wool felt bodies for millinery manufactures or other finishers. Dressed fur is received. Different fur grades are mixed, and then blown through another machine.

Felt-bodied and straw-bodied women’s hats fall under class code 2501. The operations should focus on the finishing process. For example, milliners who block felt or straw bodies by hand or insureds that turn out finished hats from textile fabrics received from others in bolts or piece goods would qualify.
