What a raglan sleeve does differently
What a raglan sleeve does differently
Raglan sleeves change the shoulder completely. A set-in sleeve is stitched in a circle at the shoulder point, so the seam sits on the bone and limits how far the arm swings. A raglan runs the seam diagonally from underarm to collar instead.
Nothing crosses the shoulder. The arm moves further before the fabric pulls, and there is no seam to rub under a bag strap. Baseball borrowed it for a reason.
The three
Body length at size M runs 67 cm on the Baseball Raglan to 75 cm on the Baseball T-Shirt Colorblock. Sleeve runs 37 cm to 78 cm, because one of the three is a heavyweight long sleeve. Chest sits between 104 cm and 118 cm.
Fabric is 100% cotton, 100% combed cotton and a 61.6% cotton with 38.4% polyester blend. All three carry a full size chart. Sizes run S to XL and the shoot uses a 188 cm model. Wash cold and turn the colorblock inside out.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a t-shirt a baseball tee?
The raglan sleeve. Its seam runs diagonally from underarm to collar instead of sitting on the shoulder point, and the sleeve is often a contrasting color.
Is a raglan more comfortable?
For movement, yes. No seam crosses the shoulder, so the arm travels further before the fabric pulls and a bag strap has nothing to rub against.
How long are they?
Body length at size M runs 67 cm to 75 cm. The colorblock is the longest of the three by some margin.
How tall is the model?
The shoot uses a 188 cm model and the size worn is on each product page. Take your usual size.
