| Wikipedia: Raglan sleeve |
A raglan sleeve is a type of sleeve whose distinguishing characteristic is to extend in one piece fully to the collar, leaving a diagonal seam from underarm to collarbone. It is popular in sports- and exercise wear, and named after the 1st Baron Raglan, probably because it was designed to fit his coat for the arm lost in the Battle of Waterloo. These sleeves are oftentimes shorter, usually half- or three quarter-length. A "Raglan Tee" might also be called a "baseball shirt."
