Raglan Sweatshirts

Basic activewear sweatshirts have met their match with the overall style and increased radius of movement that’s achievable in a raglan sweatshirt. Often seen in the form of a “baseball tee”, with ¾ length sleeves and dual colors, raglans became famous when the professional teams for the American pastime adopted the style for their players to have increased mobility when throwing and catching. Fast-forward to today and the style has evolved into sweatshirts as well. You can still see the distinct cuts of fabric wrapping around the arms that continue up the shoulders and all the way to the neckline, making it a raglan. This gives them a casual and sporty look.

Raglan sweatshirts are very comfortable and allow for movement due to their construction. Think the perfect morning yoga sweatshirt, gardening outfit or doing cartwheels on the beach. Brands like Augusta Sportswear, Holloway, Sport-Tek and more supply great raglan hoodies and pullover options. Oftentimes the sleeves of raglan sweatshirts are a different color than the body of the sweatshirt, making the style look more athletic.

Being on the sportier side of the sweatshirt spectrum, a raglan pullover or raglan hooded sweatshirt makes a solid choice for workwear or fitness apparel. Consider customizing a raglan sweatshirt if you are looking to decorate a unique style. And since there are raglan sweatshirts in men’s, women’s, and youth sizes, the entire family can enjoy a comfy sweatshirt that still allows them to move freely.
