This 3/4 sleeve plaid shirt is soft as can be with puffy sleeves gathered in elastic on the forearm Detailing on front with gathers on front and back gives the garment movement and the sides are at an angle to move as you do Pit to Pit is 22.5 Our home is smoke-free and cat friendly, but the room the clothes are stored in is a no-cat zone. I am happy to launder into a bag for allergies.
