Sleeve Features
Raglan is a sleeve that cuts out entirely along with the shoulder part of the back and the front of the blouse. Raglan has a deep armhole and does not have a shoulder seam. The sleeve got its name from the English Baron Raglan, who lost his right arm during one of the battles. Baron invented a special style of sleeves, which visually masked the absence of a hand.
