To Lord Raglan: The Sleeve to Fit the Occassion

FitzRoy Sommerset, became the first Baron Raglan, having already been injured in service, and then at Waterloo sustained an injury so severe he lost his right arm. To diminish attention to the fact that he had only one arm, he used to wear his garments very loose in the shoulder and henceforth, the Raglan sleeve acquired his name. It's an elegant sleeve. Raglan sleeves can be done in a variety of sharp detailing to make them your own, and they fit well on all sorts of body types, also befitting Lord Raglan, who was quite unique for many of his accomplishments and after his injury quickly learned to write lefty and went on to many more years of distinguished service even after his injury.
