Research on the fit raglan sleeve based on the armhole depth and the connection point between body and sleeve

Purpose By controlling the value of influencing factors of raglan sleeves, the authors can balance the comfort and aesthetics of raglan sleeves and get the best parameter value. Design/methodology/approach Under the condition that the slope of sleeve midline is 45 and the height of sleeve mountain is 15.00 cm, different armhole depth and connection point between the body and the sleeve are combined, and the influence of these two on the comfort and aesthetics of clothing is studied by CLO software. Findings The relationship between sleeve fat ( Y ), armhole depth drop ( X 1 ) and the distance ( X 2 ) between the connection point between the body and the sleeve and the center line is Y = 12.985 + 1.240· X 1 + 0.895· X 2 . When the armhole drop is 5.00 cm and the connection point is 1 cm closer to the center line, the comfort and aesthetics can be better balanced. Originality/value These data can provide reference for future research on raglan sleeves.
