Raglan

This type of sleeve is named for the British field marshal Baron Raglan , who lost his right hand at the Battle of Waterloo (1815) and wore clothes with this type of sleeve to slightly mask this flaw. Raglan was first mentioned in English literature around 1862. It is believed that the raglan was invented by the British during the Crimean War of 1853-1856. Numerous rains pushed this invention - water did not penetrate under the clothes due to the lack of a seam.

At the same time, on one of the watercolors of the 19th century Russian artist Fyodor Solntsev , dated as far back as 1842, there is an image of a girl from the Tula province in an embroidered shirt with a typical sleeve of this type.

The shape of the line of the armhole

• A typical raglan — the armhole line passes below the points of the vertices of the neck of the front and back by 1.5-5 cm, gradually descending from top to bottom. The armhole line is interrupted by the neckline of the front and back.
• Zero raglan - the armhole line runs from the point of the front of the neck to the point of the top of the neck of the back, gradually descending from top to bottom. The armhole line adjoins the neckline.
• Semireglan - armhole line runs from the middle of the shoulder line. Between the neck and armhole there is a gap in the shoulder area.
• Raglan- shoulder strap - the armhole line runs from the neck parallel to the shoulder line, smoothly passing into the armhole line of the set-in sleeve .
• Fantasy raglan - the lower part of the armhole line as in the set-in sleeve, the upper - of an arbitrary shape (for example, turning into a yoke ).
