Raglan Sleeve Construction: A Military Innovation for Enhanced Mobility

After Waterloo (1815), the raglan sleeve evolved clothing design. One piece of fabric, running from cuff to shoulder, redefined movement and durability.

Why It Works:
– Move Freely: No restrictions, just range.
– Built Tough: Fewer seams = fewer failures.
– Stay Dry: Less stitching, less leaking.

Still in action today, the British Army Rain Jacket showcases this clever design—seamless from cuff to cuff.
