What is the opposite of a raglan sleeve?
Raglan sleeve tees have the seam that would typically rest on the shoulder running from under the arm towards the neckline - what is the term for the opposite of this? (Seam that would typically rest on the shoulder actually lays further down the arm. For example, this St. James tee. Dolman and kimono aren't quite the terms I'm looking for.

I think it's called set-in sleeves when it rests on the shoulder. (Sleeves on Wikipedia! Who knew?) When the same seam comes farther down the shoulder, it's called a drop-shoulder, at least according to Mefi's own orange swan.

Response by poster: Thank you!!! That's exactly what I'm looking for. At last I can cease my fruitless Googling!
