We offer our Wool Overs lambswool collection with set in sleeves, but our Fisherman Crew, Fisherman Vee and Hill Walker ranges incorporate an alternate raglan sleeve. Each raglan sleeve runs from the wrist to the sweater's neckline, with a seam running diagonally to the neckline from the armhole (and underneath from the armhole down to the wrist).
James Henry Fitzroy Somerset Raglan, 1st Baron Raglan (1788-1855), gave his name to the raglan sleeve after the Battle of Waterloo, when he adapted his coat sleeve for his amputated arm. The Baron was the Commander in Chief of British forces during the Crimean War (1854). He issued the Charge of the Light Brigade with their misconstrued instructions at the Battle of Balaclava.
