The Sleeve That Changes Everything.
Most tees have a set-in sleeve — the sleeve is attached at the shoulder, creating a seam that runs along the top of the arm. The raglan sleeve is different. It runs in a single piece from the collar to the underarm, creating a diagonal seam that crosses the chest and back. The result is a different shoulder line, a different range of motion, and a different silhouette — one that reads as sporty without being athletic, relaxed without being shapeless, considered without being formal. The Euphor Oversized Raglan takes that construction and gives it the weight, the fit, and the colourways it deserves. 100% cotton, 180 GSM, pre-shrunk, oversized fit, raglan sleeve, ribbed neck, 4 two-tone colourways, sizes XS to XXL, at ₹899.
Why You'll Love It

Raglan Sleeve Construction: The defining feature of this tee. The raglan sleeve runs from the collar to the underarm in a single piece, with a diagonal seam that crosses the chest and back. This construction has three practical advantages over a set-in sleeve: it allows a greater range of arm movement (which is why it was adopted by baseball players in the 19th century), it eliminates the shoulder seam that can cause friction and restriction, and it creates a silhouette that reads as broader and more relaxed than a standard tee. On an oversized fit, the raglan sleeve adds structure to the silhouette — the diagonal seam gives the eye a line to follow, which prevents the oversized fit from reading as shapeless
-
Two-Tone Colourways: Each of the four colourways is a combination of two colours — one for the body, one for the sleeves. This is the traditional raglan construction: the diagonal seam that separates the sleeve from the body is also the seam that separates the two colours. The result is a tee that has the visual interest of a two-tone garment without the complexity of a graphic or a print. The colour contrast is built into the construction. The four colourways — Black Charcoal Melange, Black White, Olive Green Off White, and Coffee Brown Off White — are each a considered pairing of a darker body with a lighter sleeve (or vice versa), chosen for how the contrast reads on the raglan silhouette
-
100% Cotton, 180 GSM, Pre-Shrunk: The same weight as the Euphor Standard Crew — light enough to breathe in warm weather, structured enough to hold its shape through the day. The 100% cotton composition means a natural hand-feel that softens with every wash. The pre-shrunk treatment means the tee maintains its size and fit through repeated washing — the dimensions you buy are the dimensions you keep
-
Oversized Fit: Roomy, laid-back, and unrestricted. The oversized fit on a raglan tee is different from the oversized fit on a standard tee — the raglan sleeve construction gives the silhouette a different shoulder line, which means the oversized fit reads as intentional rather than accidental. The extra room in the body and the diagonal seam of the sleeve work together to create a silhouette that is relaxed without being shapeless
-
Ribbed Neck: A durable, structured neckline that holds its shape through wear and washing. The ribbed neck is the right neckline for a raglan tee — it provides the structure that the raglan sleeve construction requires, and it gives the collar a clean, finished edge that reads as considered rather than casual
-
Sizes XS to XXL: Six sizes for the oversized raglan silhouette
-
₹899: The mid-tier of the Euphor tee range — between the Standard Crew (₹499) and the embroidery tees (₹999), for a construction that is more considered than a plain tee and more versatile than a graphic tee

Made in India: Ethically crafted, sustainably made
On the Raglan Sleeve
The raglan sleeve takes its name from FitzRoy Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan — a British field marshal who lost his right arm at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The sleeve was designed to accommodate his prosthetic arm, running from the collar to the underarm in a single piece rather than attaching at the shoulder. The design was practical: it allowed greater freedom of movement and eliminated the shoulder seam that could cause friction against a prosthetic.
The raglan sleeve was adopted by baseball players in the late 19th century for the same practical reason — the greater range of arm movement it allowed was an advantage for pitchers and fielders. The baseball raglan — a white body with coloured sleeves — became one of the most recognisable garments in American sport, and the two-tone construction became inseparable from the raglan silhouette.
From baseball, the raglan moved into workwear, then into casual wear, then into streetwear. Each transition preserved the essential features of the construction — the diagonal seam, the two-tone colourway, the broader shoulder line — while adapting the fabric, the fit, and the styling to the context. The raglan is now one of the most versatile constructions in casual fashion: it reads as sporty without being athletic, relaxed without being shapeless, and considered without being formal.
The Euphor Oversized Raglan takes this construction and gives it the weight and fit of a premium casual tee. The 180 GSM cotton is the right weight for a raglan — light enough to move freely, structured enough to hold the diagonal seam in place. The oversized fit is the right fit for a raglan — the extra room in the body allows the sleeve construction to read clearly, without the tightness that would distort the diagonal seam. The two-tone colourways are the right palette for a raglan — they honour the construction’s history while giving it a contemporary, considered aesthetic.
The 4 Colourways
Each colourway of the Euphor Oversized Raglan is a two-tone combination — a darker colour for the body and a lighter colour for the sleeves (or a contrasting combination that reads as graphic). The colour contrast is built into the raglan construction: the diagonal seam that separates the sleeve from the body is also the seam that separates the two colours. Understanding each colourway helps you choose the right one for your wardrobe.
Black Charcoal Melange is the most graphic colourway. The body is black — the most graphic, most versatile colour in any wardrobe. The sleeves are charcoal melange — a heathered grey that is made by blending black and white fibres before spinning, which gives the fabric a subtle texture and depth that solid grey cannot achieve. The contrast between black and charcoal melange is subtle rather than stark — it reads as tonal rather than two-tone, which gives the tee a considered, understated quality. It is the colourway for people who want the raglan construction to be present without the colour contrast being loud.
Black White is the most classic colourway. Black body, white sleeves — the original baseball raglan combination, the contrast that the raglan construction was designed for. The contrast between black and white is the maximum contrast available in any colour system, which means the diagonal seam of the raglan reads with maximum clarity. The silhouette is most visible, the construction is most present, and the tee reads as the most immediately recognisable raglan in the range. It is the colourway for people who want the raglan construction to be the point — the tee that announces its construction before anything else.
Olive Green Off White is the most earthy colourway. Olive green is the colour of military utility — it has a long history in workwear and outdoor wear before it became a staple of contemporary streetwear. Off white is the warmer, softer alternative to pure white — it has a slightly vintage quality that suits the olive green body. Together, they create a colourway that reads as considered and grounded — the colour of things that are built to last, worn in environments that matter. It is the colourway for people who want the raglan to feel rooted rather than sporty, earthy rather than graphic.
Coffee Brown Off White is the warmest colourway. Coffee brown is a rich, warm brown that sits between tan and chocolate — it is the colour of the earth, of wood, of the materials that have been used in clothing and craft for centuries. Off white is the right sleeve colour for coffee brown — it is warm enough to complement the brown without competing with it, and it gives the diagonal seam a softness that pure white would not. Together, they create a colourway that reads as warm, considered, and immediately wearable — the colourway that works with the widest range of other colours in a wardrobe built around earth tones and neutrals.
