Solutions for sleeves

Next we´ll pay attention to: the sleeves.

The difference between the one-piece sleeve and a two-pieced sleeve is not so evident- that it really could dominate the imression of a jacket. An other comparisation; usually one-piece sleeve and the raglan-sleeve. A raglan has not a really defined armhole, it starts mostly direct at the collar and goes in a diagonal way down under the arm into the sideseam. The raglan looks more sporty than the standard-sleeve. Think it depends on the softer defined shape of the shoulder in an raglanjacket. And the person wears a raglanshirt has more space to move the arms. The standardsleeve looks with the defined shoulders more edgy and serious than a raglan. I don´t want to make a sporty looking jacket, but the raglan is very intresting for my, because I´d like to try an experimental design in my prototype jacket. The raglan allows a huge variety in design!
