You are probably familiar with the term Raglan Sleeve but did you know there is a variation of that type of sleeve called an Epaulette or more commonly called the Saddle Sleeve. In case you didn’t know here are the sleeve definitions:

• Raglan – A sleeve that is connected by a diagonal seam that extends from the neckline to the underarm.
• Epaulette / Saddle – A type of raglan sleeve that is joined with a seam that is curved near the underarm and then is parallel to the shoulder.
