RAGLAN SAC. Diagram 308.

The body of the Raglan Sac is cut as Diagram 308, though the fronts are here illustrated with fly fronts, for which style it is only necessary to add on 2 inches to the front.

The special feature of the Raglan is the shoulder, which is cut from 2½ to 9, and up to E by a graceful curve.

Those parts of the shoulder outlined by W A and D F, being added to the sleeve.

The top part of the sleeve is illustrated on Diagram 309.

The sleeve is drawn in the usual way.

Points 0, 1¼, 6, 4½, and 9 being found as described before.

Square up from 4½, and make the distance from 4½ to sweep 6. 3, the same width as the shoulder at ¾, 6. The pivot being 4½.

Sweep 4, 5 is the same as back from ¾ to A. The pivot being 9.

The width at 7 is ½ inch more than has been taken from ¾.

The sweep at 2 is made from 6 by the distance from forearm pitch to F.

The width at 8 is half inch more than was taken from F.

The lower part of the sleeve is the same as Diagram 293.

Sometimes the V is continued down the top of the sleeve to the cuff, in which case ½ inch must be added for two seams.

Diagram 310 shows an alternative style of lapel.
