What does RAGLAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A coat or sweater with sleeves that extend in one piece up to the collar, without a separate seam at the shoulder, or such a sleeve itself.
A raglan gets its name from Lord Raglan, the British general who reputedly favored this looser, more comfortable cut of coat after losing an arm at the Battle of Waterloo. Because the sleeve of a raglan runs in a diagonal seam from the underarm to the neckline rather than around the shoulder, it gives the wearer a wider range of motion, which is one reason the style is still common in sportswear such as baseball shirts. Tailors and knitters alike distinguish a raglan sleeve from a set-in sleeve by this same diagonal seam line. The word can describe the whole garment, as in he wore an old raglan against the rain, or just the sleeve construction itself.
