It is indeed Lord Raglan! I'm now thinking there's a dearth of knitters and dressmakers in this forum if no one's familiar with Raglan sleeves.
The OED's definition:
Quote:

An overcoat or (later more generally) other garment in which each sleeve continues in one piece up to the neck.... This style of sleeve produces a larger, looser armhole than a conventional set-in sleeve.

One point to Bilbo for the name; another point is available for the reason Lord Raglan used this style of coat after Waterloo.
