Raglan Sleeve Jacket

When To Wear

Over long-sleeved tops: the three-quarter sleeves are wide enough to show the sleeve underneath.

Sleeves: Raglan, three-quarter length, widening towards the hem. Each sleeve has a front and a back part joined by a seam along the top of the arm; the back sleeve parts meet in a centre back seam above the back.

Front: Bust darts on the fronts; the front raglan seam forms a curved line across the chest.

Closure: Three buttons with buttonholes on the right front, placed in the upper part of the front.

Back: One piece below the curved raglan seam.

Finishing: Raglan seams, front edges, hem, collar and sleeve hems topstitched 0.7 cm from the edge; raglan shoulder pads.

Lining: Full lining, bagged and turned through an opening in the right sleeve lining seam.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Two-part raglan sleeves with topstitched seams, a two-layer stand collar stitched together with the front edges, a fully bagged lining.

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances; if the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: Hem allowance for the garment bottom and sleeve hem – 3 cm, other seams – 1 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces).

- Back – 1 piece
- Front – 2 pieces
- Back Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Front Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Stand Collar – 2 pieces
- Back Neckline Facing – 1 piece
- Center Front Facing – 2 pieces
From lining fabric:

Attention: The Back Sleeve, Front Sleeve and Front lining pieces are cut minus the Back Neckline Facing and Center Front Facing.
