It's something (clothing) that can be chosen to sell in a cafepress.com shop. But there's no point posting a picture as it looks like a jumper, but as it says "jr' raglan" instead of "sweatshirt" (sweatshirt is the american english word for jumper) then there must be a difference.

Presumably it’s a junior raglan; a raglan for kids.
A raglan being a a “loose outer garment” according to Wikipedia. So it must be true.

That's all wikipedia says though - doesn't say what a raglan is in British English. Virtually anything can be a loose outer garment

Well, a raglan, according to cafepress, is a long-sleeved top.

Doesn't seem to say that anywhere, and besides there are other long-sleeved tops that are not called "raglan" tops... anyway looks like I may have found the answer...

Seems it's an outer garment (such as a jumper) with Raglan sleeves - http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-raglan-sleeve.htm

I was going to say it would be something like 'idiot', but your context obviously invalidates that :P

Those links don't work.
And to me, 'Joor Raglan' sounds like a curry. But, as the thread has so far discovered, it is not.

Though in terms of fashion I believe the term has come to mean a t-shirt/sweater/whatever with raglan sleeves and with the body and sleeves being two separate colours.

never heard of it.
if its a sleeve type i'm pretty sure that sort of discussion doesn't enter the typical british persons' vocabulary...
raglan, a type of sleve. presumably a jr raglan would be a short raglan sleve.
(i seem to recall in the s.c.a. there was a mention of raglan sleeves. unless i'm immagining remembering)
i don't for the life of me remember what one was supposed to have looked like.
it may have refered to a less sophisticated cutting of the way the sleve is attatched to the body of the shirt
i do believe the term actualy may have came from there. probably after it ceased being used in its place of origen.
fat lot of good all my idiot guessing is doing anyone.
well you know how cats love to pounce on threads, especialy when someone is pulling on them.

What a top with a raglan sleeves can look like. No longer will the multitudes of NSG have to wonder what such a garment looks like.

Raglan sleeves are usually of a different color from the torso part, usually the same color as the collar, and go from the neckline of the shirt down through the armpits instead of being sewn on at the shoulder.

...Is that what those shirts are called? I was flashing on "What'll We Do With Ragland Park?" by Philip K. Dick, but the extra 'd' in Raglan kept me on the fence.

Aren't sayings on t-shirts supposed to be clever? I didn't find that saying to be particularly so :rolleyes:
