raglan sleeve
Shoulder-to-collar cut
A raglan sleeve extends in one piece from the collar to the underarm, with diagonal seams running from neck to armpit rather than shoulder seams.
This design allows greater freedom of movement and creates a distinctive angled look: The raglan sleeve gives that sweater a relaxed fit.
Named after Lord Raglan, a British military commander.
