However, it is difficult to pass the arm around the sleeve. In view of this, the present invention has been improved with the main object of particularly facilitating arm operability.

[0004]

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, a cuff and at least an open end such as a neckline are connected to each other by an openable and closable mating portion provided along the longitudinal direction of the sleeve. This is the summary.

[0005]

1 shows a first embodiment, in which a cuff 2 of a garment 1 and a neckline 3 forming an open end of the garment 3 are shown.
And 5 along the longitudinal direction of the sleeve 4 (long sleeve)
And the fastener 6 is provided on the mating portion 5.
