RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application is a U.S. National Phase Application under 35 U.S.C. 371 of International Application No. PCT/JP2008/057108 filed Apr. 10, 2008, which was published on Oct. 15, 2009 under International Publication Number WO 2009/125487 A1. The foregoing application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to an upper garment worn on the upper half of the body of a wearer. 
     RELATED ART 
     Conventionally, for example, as shown in  FIG. 17 , a set-in-type upper garment  101  is manufactured by sewing sleeves  104  at predetermined positions on bodies  102  and  103 .  FIG. 18  is a developed view of a pattern for making this upper garment  101 . As shown in  FIG. 18 , the upper garment  101  is manufactured by sewing each sleeve  104  to the front and back bodies  102  and  103 . A portion  105  of the sleeve  104  of the upper garment  101  to be sewn to the bodies  102  and  103  is formed into a circular-arc shape. The sleeve  104  is sewn to the bodies  102  and  103 , with a point SP at the apex of the portion  105  (hereinafter referred to as a “shoulder point”) just placed on a shoulder line  106  of the bodies  102  and  103 . The shoulder point SP is set so as to be positioned on a sleeve head seam line  107  passing through the sleeve  104  generally at a center of the sleeve  104  in the widthwise direction of the sleeve  104  in the unfolded state (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). 
     In the upper garment  101  made in this way, the sleeves  104  are formed so as to be slant downward relative to the slanting directions of the shoulder lines  106  of the bodies  102  and  103 , as shown in  FIG. 17 . 
     A set-in-type upper garment exists in which a portion of each of sleeves to be sewn to bodies is concaved most largely at the position (shoulder point) corresponding to the sleeve head seam line (see, for example, Patent Document 4). When a sleeve having such a shape is sewn to bodies, the sleeve is formed so as to be slant upward relative to the slanting direction of the shoulder line  106  of the bodies  102  and  103 , as shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 4. 
     In another example of conventional set-in-type upper garments, an underarm gusset in lunette form is attached in the armhole formed between connecting portions of front and back bodies and a sleeve so as to extend between front and rear positions on the front and back sides of a lower portion of a sleeve (see, for example, Patent Document 5). 
     In still another example of conventional set-in-type upper garments, a dart is provided in a sleeve portion at the sleeve head to facilitate fitting to the body and improve the appearance. (see, Patent Document 6). 
     In a further example of conventional set-in-type upper garments, an arced convex edge ( 10   a ) and angular convex edges ( 10   d ,  10   e ) connecting to the arced convex edge on opposite sides of the arced convex edge through valley edges ( 10   b ,  10   c ) formed therebetween are formed in a portion of a sleeve to be sewn to front and back bodies (sleeve attachment line) (see, for example, Patent Document 7). With this arrangement, the conventional upper garment is made free from an underarm stretch phenomenon at the time of raising the arm high and the occurrences of bags and wrinkles under the armpit and along the chest breadth accompanied with an action of moving down the arm. 
     Also, a raglan-type upper garment  101 , such as the one shown in  FIGS. 19 and 20 , exists in which part of a sleeve  104  is formed so as to reach a neckline  108  of bodies  102  and  103 . That is, the sleeve  104  has a projecting portion  109  projecting toward the neckline  108  of the bodies  102  and  103  (see, for example, Patent Document 8). A portion  110  in the projecting portion  109  is sewn to the front body  102 , while the other portion  111  is sewn to the back body  103 . 
     In this projecting portion  109 , the edge of the portion  110  sewn to the front body  102  is represented by a curve concaved toward the sleeve head seam line  107  passing through the sleeve  104  generally at a center of the sleeve  104  in the widthwise direction of the sleeve  104 . Similarly, in the projecting portion  109 , the edge (sleeve attachment line) of the portion  111  sewn to the back body  103  is represented by a curve concaved toward the sleeve head seam line  107 . 
     In a case where the portion  110  sewn to the front body  102  and the portion  111  sewn to the back body  103  are formed into curves concaved toward the sleeve head seam line  107  in this way in the projecting portion  109 , the sleeve  104  is formed so as to be slant downward relative to the slanting direction of the shoulder line  106  of the bodies  102  and  103  when the sleeve  104  is sewn to the bodies  102  and  103  (see  FIG. 19 ). 
     In another example of conventional raglan-type upper garments, the edge (sleeve attachment line) of a sleeve (sleeve body  1 ) to be sewn to a front or back body  2  is a generally S-shaped three-order curve having an inflection point ( 9 ,  10 ) on the underarm side relative to a seam center position (see, for example, Patent Document 9). 
     The related art has provided only few upper garments by considering all up/down and frontward/backward movements of the arm. Upper garments designed by considering such movements include one using a gusset (Patent Document 5) and one having the armhole made markedly large. The one having the armhole made markedly large does not follow such movements. It is difficult to enable following all up/down and frontward/backward movements of the arm by only devising essentially the pattern of bodies and sleeves without using a part such as a gusset and without making the armhole markedly large.

     DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION 
     Problems to be Solved by the Invention 
     For example, a wearer may largely swing his/her arms up and down when he or she does a physical exercise while wearing a set-in-type or raglan-type upper garment. In such a case, the bodies of the conventional upper garment are pulled by the sleeves when the arms are swung up and down, because the sleeves are slant downward relative to the slope of the shoulder line of the bodies. This causes a resistance to the movement of the arms and, in some case, makes it difficult to perform the desired movements of the arms. The conventional upper garments include those having the sleeves formed so as to be slant upward relative to the slope of the shoulder line of the bodies. Also when a wearer who wears such a garment swings his/her arms forward and backward, the bodies are pulled by the sleeves to cause a resistance to the movements of the arms. 
     It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide, by devising a pattern for bodies and sleeves, an upper garment capable of largely reducing the pull of the bodies from the sleeves (that is, capable of following the movements of the arms) when the arms are moved up, down, forward and backward. 
     Means for Solving Problems 
     Technical means described below are devised to solve the above-described problems. 
     According to the present invention, there is provided an upper garment having a front body, a back body, sleeves sewn to the bodies and worn on the upper half of the body of a wearer, the upper garment being characterized in that each sleeve has a front sleeve portion and a back sleeve portion and is formed into a tubular shape by sewing the front sleeve portion and the back sleeve portion to each other; the front sleeve portion has a front portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the front body, and a first end portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the back sleeve portion to form the sleeve portions into the tubular shape; the back sleeve portion has a back portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the back body, and a second end portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the front sleeve portion to form the sleeve portions into the tubular shape; a boundary portion between the front portion to be sewn and the back portion to be sewn forms a shoulder point corresponding to the outer end of the shoulder of the wearer when the front portion to be sewn is sewn to the front body, and when the back portion to be sewn is sewn to the back body; the front body has a first portion to be sewn, to which the front portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn, and on which a first sewing reference position serving as a reference when the front portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn is set, the first sewing reference position being positioned nearest to a center of the front body in a widthwise direction in the first portion to be sewn; the back body has a second portion to be sewn, to which the back portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn, and on which a second sewing reference position serving as a reference when the back portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn is set, the second sewing reference position being positioned nearest to a center of the back body in a widthwise direction in the second portion to be sewn; a portion to be sewn to the first sewing reference position on the front body in the front portion to be sewn in the front sleeve portion projects toward the front body relative to the shoulder point, and projects toward the front body relative to a boundary point between the front portion to be sewn and the first end portion to be sewn; and a portion to be sewn to the second sewing reference position on the back body in the back portion to be sewn in the back sleeve portion projects toward the back body relative to the shoulder point, and projects toward the back body relative to a boundary point between the back portion to be sewn and the second end portion to be sewn, so that the shoulder point on the sleeve is positioned between the portion in the front portion to be sewn in the front sleeve portion, which portion is sewn to the first sewing reference position on the front body, and the portion in the back portion to be sewn in the back sleeve portion, which portion is sewn to the second sewing reference position on the back body, and at a bottom most portion in a concave portion formed by a front sleeve attachment line representing an edge of the front portion to be sewn and a back sleeve attachment line representing an edge of the back portion to be sewn, while part of the sleeve is positioned above a line extended from a shoulder line on the front body when the sleeve is sewn to the front body and to the back body. 
     In this arrangement, the first sewing reference position on the front body is set at a position nearest to the center of the front body in the widthwise direction in the first portion to be sewn, and the portion to be sewn to the first sewing reference position on the front body in the front portion to be sewn in the front sleeve portion is formed so as to project toward the front body relative to the shoulder point, and project toward the front body relative to the boundary point between the front portion to be sewn and the first end portion to be sewn, thereby producing in an area in the vicinity of the front portion to be sewn of the sleeve “ease” for following the movement of the arm. Because this ease is produced, the pull of the body from the sleeve can be reduced even when the wearer moves the sleeve up, down, forward and backward. 
     Moreover, the second sewing reference position on the back body is set at a position nearest to the center of the back body in the widthwise direction in the second portion to be sewn, and the portion to be sewn to the second sewing reference position on the back body in the back portion to be sewn in the back sleeve portion projects toward the back body relative to the shoulder point, and projects toward the back body relative to a boundary point between the back portion to be sewn and the second end portion to be sewn, thereby producing ease in an area in the vicinity of the back portion to be sewn of the sleeve. Because the ease is produced in the sleeve, the pull of the body from the sleeve can be reduced even when the wearer moves the sleeve up, down, forward and backward. 
     According to the present invention, there is also provided an upper garment having a front body, a back body, sleeves sewn to the bodies and worn on the upper half of the body of a wearer, the upper garment being characterized in that each sleeve has a front sleeve portion and a back sleeve portion and is formed into a tubular shape by sewing the front sleeve portion and the back sleeve portion to each other; the front sleeve portion has a front portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the front body, and a first end portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the back sleeve portion to form the sleeve portions into the tubular shape; the back sleeve portion has a back portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the back body, and a second end portion to be sewn, which is sewn to the front sleeve portion to form the sleeve portions into the tubular shape; a boundary portion between the front portion to be sewn and the back portion to be sewn forms a shoulder point corresponding to the outer end of the shoulder of the wearer when the front portion to be sewn is sewn to the front body, and when the back portion to be sewn is sewn to the back body; the front body has a first portion to be sewn, to which the front portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn, and on which a first sewing reference position serving as a reference when the front portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn is set, the first sewing reference position being positioned nearest to a center of the front body in a widthwise direction in the first portion to be sewn; the back body has a second portion to be sewn, to which the back portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn, and on which a second sewing reference position serving as a reference when the back portion to be sewn of the sleeve is sewn is set, the second sewing reference position being positioned nearest to a center of the back body in a widthwise direction in the second portion to be sewn; a portion to be sewn to the first sewing reference position on the front body in the front portion to be sewn in the front sleeve portion projects toward the front body relative to the shoulder point, and projects toward the front body relative to a boundary point between the front portion to be sewn and the first end portion to be sewn; and a portion to be sewn to the second sewing reference position on the back body in the back portion to be sewn in the back sleeve portion projects toward the back body relative to the shoulder point, and projects toward the back body relative to a boundary point between the back portion to be sewn and the second end portion to be sewn, so that the shoulder point on the sleeve is positioned at a center of the sleeve in the widthwise direction and at a bottom most portion in a concave formed by a front sleeve attachment line representing an edge of the front portion to be sewn and a back sleeve attachment line representing an edge of the back portion to be sewn, while part of the sleeve is positioned above a line extended from a shoulder line on the front body when the sleeve is sewn to the front body and to the back body. 
     In this arrangement, the first sewing reference position on the front body is set at a position nearest to the center of the front body in the widthwise direction in the first portion to be sewn, and the portion to be sewn to the first sewing reference position on the front body in the front portion to be sewn in the front sleeve portion projects toward the front body relative to the shoulder point, projects toward the front body relative to a base portion in the projecting portion, and projects toward the front body relative to the boundary point between the front portion to be sewn and the first end portion to be sewn, thereby producing ease in an area in the vicinity of the front portion to be sewn of the sleeve. Because this ease is produced, the pull of the body from the sleeve can be reduced even when the wearer moves the sleeve up, down, forward and backward. 
     Also, the second sewing reference position on the back body is set at a position nearest to the center of the back body in the widthwise direction in the second portion to be sewn, and the portion to be sewn to the second sewing reference position on the back body in the back portion to be sewn in the back sleeve portion projects toward the back body relative to the shoulder point, projects toward the back body relative to a base portion in the projecting portion, and projects toward the back body relative to a boundary point between the back portion to be sewn and the second end portion to be sewn, thereby producing ease in an area in the vicinity of the front portion to be sewn of the sleeve. Because the ease is produced in the sleeve, the pull of the body from the sleeve can be reduced even when the wearer moves the sleeve up, down, forward and backward. 
     According to the present invention, an arrangement can be adopted in which the first sewing reference position is set in correspondence with the crest of greater tubercle of the wearer. 
     In this arrangement, the first sewing reference position on the front body is set in correspondence with the crest of greater tubercle of the wearer to which the greater pectoral muscle inserts, so that the pull of the front body from the sleeve can be reduced more effectively. That is, the muscles move largely and strongly in a place in the vicinity of the crest of greater tubercle. Part of the sleeve is disposed at this position to enable the sleeve to follow the movement, so that the pull of the front body from the sleeve can be reduced. 
     According to the present invention, an arrangement can be adopted in which the second sewing reference position is set in correspondence with the infraglenoid tubercle of the wearer. 
     In this arrangement, because of the provision on the infraglenoid tubercle of the blade bone of the wearer in which the long head of the triceps brachii muscle originates, the pull of the back body from the sleeve can be reduced more effectively. That is, the muscles move largely and strongly in a place in the vicinity of the infraglenoid tubercle. Part of the sleeve is disposed at this position to enable the sleeve to follow the movement, so that the pull of the back body from the sleeve can be reduced. 
     According to the present invention, an arrangement can be adopted in which a sleeve width line connecting the boundary point between the front portion to be sewn and the first end portion to be sewn and the boundary point between the back portion to be sewn and the second end portion to be sewn and extending along the widthwise direction is drawn, and in which if the length of a line drawn from the shoulder point so as to be orthogonal to the sleeve width line is A; the length of a line drawn from the portion sewn to the first sewing reference position on the front body in the front portion to be sewn in the front sleeve portion so as to be orthogonal to the sleeve width line is B; and the length of a line drawn from the portion sewn to the second sewing reference position on the back body in the back portion to be sewn in the back sleeve portion so as to be orthogonal to the sleeve width line is C, relationship of A&lt;B and a relationship of A&lt;C are established. 
     In this arrangement, A, B, and C are set in the above-described relationships to form the sleeve of the upper garment so that the sleeve of the upper garment is formed so as to be slant upward relative to the slope of the shoulder line of the body, thereby avoiding the pull of the body from the sleeve more effectively when the wearer moves the arm up and down. 
     Advantages of the Invention 
     According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the pull of the bodies from the sleeves when a person wearing the upper garment moves the arms up, down, forward and backward (that is, following the movements of the arms is enabled).

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 
       FIGS. 1 to 11  show a first embodiment of an upper garment. A so-called set-in-type upper garment  1  with half-length sleeves will be described as the first embodiment by way of example. 
       FIGS. 1 to 4  show a pattern made in advance for manufacture of the upper garment  1 . The upper garment  1  is formed into the desired shape by cutting a sheet of cloth into pieces on the basis of the pattern and by sewing the pieces of cloth one to another. The upper garment  1  will be described on the basis of the pattern. 
     The upper garment  1  has a front body  2 , a back body  3  and sleeves  4 . The front body  2  has a front neck  5   a  forming a neckline of the upper garment  1  and an armhole (hereinafter referred to as a “first portion to be sewn”)  6  to which the sleeve  4  is sewn. The front body  2  is defined with a shoulder line  8  slanting at a predetermined angle from the upper end of a front neckline  7   a  representing the edge of the front neck  5   a  to the upper end of the first portion to be sewn  6 , a line (hereinafter referred to as a “front armhole line”)  9   a  representing the edge of the first portion to be sewn  6 , a side line  10  drawn vertically from the lower end of the front armhole line  9   a , and a bottom line  11  drawn substantially horizontally from the lower end of the side line  10 . 
     The upper end of the first portion to be sewn  6  is generally called a shoulder point SP. The shoulder point SP is a position (point) corresponding to the outer end of the shoulder of a wearer when the wearer wears the upper garment  1 . 
     The back body  3  has a back neck  5   b  forming the neckline of the upper garment  1  and an armhole (hereinafter referred to as a “second portion to be sewn”)  12  to which the sleeve  4  is sewn. The back body  3  is defined with a shoulder line  8  slanting at a predetermined angle from the upper end of a back neckline  7   b  representing the edge of the back neck  5   b  to the upper end of the second portion to be sewn  12 , a line (hereinafter referred to as a “back armhole line”)  9   b  representing the edge of the second portion to be sewn  12 , a side line  10  drawn vertically from the lower end of the back armhole line  9   b , a bottom line  11  drawn substantially horizontally from the lower end of the side line  10 , and the like. 
     The upper end of the second portion to be sewn  12  is a shoulder point SP, as is the upper end of the first portion to be sewn  6 . The front body  2  and the back body  3  are sewn to each other so that the shoulder point SP on the first portion to be sewn  6  and the shoulder point SP on the second portion to be sewn  12  coincide with each other. 
     The front body  2  and the back body  3  shown in  FIGS. 1, 3, and 4  are shown as halves separated by a center line passing through a center in the widthwise direction. The other halves are not shown in the figures. The front body  2  and the back body  3  shown in  FIGS. 1, 3, and 4  are portions worn on the left half of the body of a wearer. Each of the front body  2  and the back body  3  shown in  FIGS. 1, 3, and 4  is bilaterally symmetric about its center line. In the following, the center line of the front body  2  is referred to as a front center line  15   a , and the center line of the back body  3  is referred to as a back center line  15   b.    
     In the present embodiment, the front center line  15   a  and the back center line  15   b  are shown as imaginary lines. These center lines are not necessarily shown in actual bodies  2  and  3 . In some case, however, these center lines are shown in the patterns of the bodies  2  and  3 . The same can also be said about various center lines described below. 
     As shown in  FIG. 1 , the front armhole line  9   a  of the first portion to be sewn  6  is a curve concaved toward the center (front center line  15   a ) of the front body  2  in the widthwise direction of the front body  2  between its upper and lower ends. The position in the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2  concaved most largely between the upper and lower ends is a reference position at the time of sewing of the sleeve  4 . This reference position is referred to as a first sewing reference position  21  below. 
     The first sewing reference position  21  is positioned nearest to the center (front center line  15   a ) of the front body  2  in the widthwise direction of the front body  2  in the first portion to be sewn  6 . Also, the first sewing reference position  21  is set in correspondence with the crest of greater tubercle (the portion indicated by reference numeral  26  in  FIG. 6 ) of a wearer to which the greater pectoral muscle (indicated by reference numeral  25  in  FIG. 5 ) inserts. 
     As shown in  FIG. 1 , the back armhole line  9   b  of the second portion to be sewn  12  is a curve concaved toward the center (back center line  15   b ) of the back body  3  in the widthwise direction of the back body  3  between its upper and lower ends. The position in the second portion to be sewn  12  of the back body  3  concaved most largely between the upper and lower ends is a reference position at the time of sewing of the sleeve  4 . This reference position is referred to as a second sewing reference position  31  below. 
     The second sewing reference position  31  is positioned nearest to the center (back center line  15   b ) of the back body  3  in the widthwise direction of the back body  3  in the second portion to be sewn  12 . The second sewing reference position  31  is set in correspondence with the infraglenoid tubercle of the blade bone (indicated by reference numeral  33  in  FIG. 8 ) of the wearer in which the long head of the triceps brachii muscle (indicated by reference numeral  32  in  FIG. 7 ) originates. 
     Referring again to  FIG. 1 , the front body  2  and the back body  3  are shown in a state in which the side lines  10  thereof coincide with each other. In this state, the front armhole line  9   a  of the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2  and the back armhole line  9   b  of the second portion to be sewn  12  of the back body  3  are formed so as to connect continuously to each other. The front armhole line  9   a  and the back armhole line  9   b  form a recess concaved downward (in a direction from the neckline toward the bottom). 
     A recess formed by integrally combining the first portion to be sewn  6  and the second portion to be sewn  12  in this way is generally called an armhole AH. The length of the armhole AH is equal to the sum of the length of the first portion to be sewn  6  (the length of the front armhole line  9   a ) and the length of the second portion to be sewn  12  (the length of the back armhole line  9   b ). The lowest end of the armhole AH, i.e., a lowermost bottom portion of the recess is generally called a “kamazoko” (indicated by reference numeral  35 ). The kamazoko  35  is positioned on the side line  10  in the state where the front body  2  and the back body  3  are sewn to each other. 
     As shown in  FIG. 1 , when an imaginary straight line  17  connecting the kamazoko  35  and the shoulder point SP is drawn on the front body  2 , the front armhole line  9   a  representing the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2  is positioned nearer to the center (front center line  15   a ) of the front body  2  in the widthwise direction relative to the straight line  17 . Also, the front armhole line  9   a  is formed into a concave shape concaved from the straight line  17  toward the center (front center line  15   a ) of the front body  2  in the widthwise direction by being curved in circular-arc form. The first sewing reference position  21  is positioned nearer to the center (front center line  15   a ) of the front body  2  in the widthwise direction relative to the straight line  17 . 
     When a front portion to be sewn  54  of the sleeve  4  is sewn to the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2 , part of the sleeve  4  occupies the region surrounded by the front armhole line  9   a  and the straight line  17  connecting the kamazoko  35  and the shoulder point SP on the front body  2 . 
     Also, as shown in  FIG. 1 , when an imaginary straight line  18  connecting the kamazoko  35  and the shoulder point SP is drawn on the back body  3 , the front armhole line  9   b  representing the second portion to be sewn  12  of the back body  3  is positioned nearer to the center (back center line  15   b ) of the back body  3  in the widthwise direction relative to the straight line  18 . Also, the back armhole line  9   b  is formed into a concave shape concaved from the straight line  18  toward the center (back center line  15   b ) of the back body  3  in the widthwise direction by being curved in circular-arc form. The second sewing reference position  31  on the second portion to be sewn  12  is positioned nearer to the center (back center line  15   b ) of the back body  3  in the widthwise direction relative to the straight line  18 . 
     When a back portion to be sewn  55  of the sleeve  4  is sewn to the second portion to be sewn  12  of the back body  3 , part of the sleeve  4  occupies the region surrounded by the back armhole line  9   b  and the straight line  18  connecting the kamazoko  35  and the shoulder point SP on the back body  3 . 
     If the length of the first portion to be sewn  6  (the length of the front armhole line  9   a ) is L1, and if the length from the shoulder point SP to the first sewing reference position  21  on the front body  2  is L2, it is desirable that the condition within a range of 0.45 L1≦L2≦0.55 L1 be satisfied. By satisfying this condition, a portion of the sleeve  4  (a portion in the vicinity of a vertex  67  of a front sleeve attachment line  60   a ) is disposed at a position corresponding to the crest of greater tubercle  26  at which the muscles move strongly (to cause expansion/contraction of the skin) in up/down and forward/backward movements of the arm, thereby enabling the sleeve  4  to follow these movements and enabling reducing the pull of the front body  2  from the sleeve  4 . With respect to the first sewing reference position  21 , if the condition within this range is satisfied, an error of about 2% in the length of the armhole AH, i.e., the sum of the length of the front armhole line  9   a  and the length of the back armhole line  9   b , is allowed. 
     Also, if the length of the second portion to be sewn  12  (the length of the back armhole line  9   b ) is L3, and if the length from the shoulder point SP to the second sewing reference position  31  on the back body  3  is L4, it is desirable that the condition within a range of 0.35 L3≦L4≦0.45 L3 be satisfied. By satisfying this condition, a portion of the sleeve  4  (a portion in the vicinity of a vertex  72  of a back sleeve attachment line  60   b ) is disposed at a position corresponding to the infraglenoid tubercle  33  at which the muscles move strongly (to cause expansion/contraction of the skin) in up/down and forward/backward movements of the arm, thereby enabling the sleeve  4  to follow these movements and enabling reducing the pull of the back body  3  from the sleeve  4 . With respect to the second sewing reference position  31 , if the condition within this range is satisfied, an error of about 2% in the length of the armhole AH, i.e., the sum of the length of the front armhole line  9   a  and the length of the back armhole line  9   b , is allowed. 
     As shown in  FIG. 1 , in the front body  2  and the back body  3  a chest line  37  is horizontally drawn so as to be tangent to the kamazoko  35 . In the following, the chest line  37  drawn on the front body  2  is referred to as a front chest line  37   a , and the chest line  37  drawn on the back body  3  is referred to as a back chest line  37   b.    
     A chest guide line  41  passing through the first sewing reference position  21  and orthogonal to the front chest line  37   a  is drawn on the front body  2 . A chest line  42  orthogonal to the chest guide line  41  is also drawn from the first sewing reference position  21  on the front body  2 . Also, as shown in  FIG. 1 , a first auxiliary line  43  passing through the upper end of the neckline representing the edge of the neck of the front body  2  and orthogonal to the chest guide line  41  is drawn as an imaginarily line on the front body  2 . 
     A back guide line  44  passing through the second sewing reference position  31  and orthogonal to the back chest line  37   b  is drawn on the back body  3 . A back line  45  orthogonal to the back guide line  44  is also drawn from the second sewing reference position  31  on the back body  3 . Also, as shown in  FIG. 1 , a second auxiliary line  46  passing through the upper end of the back neckline  7   b  representing the edge of the neck of the back body  3  and orthogonal to the back center line  15   b  of the back body  3  is drawn as an imaginarily line on the back body  3 . The second auxiliary line  46  is extended to the front body  2  side to reach the front center line  15   a  of the front body  2 . The second auxiliary line  46  orthogonally intersects the front center line  15   a.    
     In a state of being unfolded as shown in  FIG. 2 , the sleeve  4  is divided into a front sleeve portion  51  to be sewn to the front body  2  and a back sleeve portion  52  to be sewn to the back body  3  by a sleeve head seam line  47  passing through a center of the sleeve  4  in the widthwise direction. That is, the sleeve head seam line  47  is a boundary line separating the front sleeve portion  51  and the back sleeve portion  52  from each other. 
     The front sleeve portion  51  has a front portion to be sewn  54 , which is sewn to the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2 . An end portion (hereinafter referred to as a “first end portion to be sewn)  51   a  of the front sleeve portion  51  at an end in the widthwise direction is sewn to the back sleeve portion  52 . 
     The back sleeve portion  52  has a back portion to be sewn  55 , which is sewn to the second portion to be sewn  12  of the back body  3 . An end portion (hereinafter referred to as a “second end portion to be sewn)  52   a  of the back sleeve portion  52  at an end in the widthwise direction is sewn to the front sleeve portion  51 . 
     The sleeve  4  is formed so as to be tubular by sewing together the first portion to be sewn  51   a  of the front sleeve portion  51  and the second portion to be sewn  52   a  of the back sleeve portion  52 . The sleeve  4  made tubular has a sleeve mouth  57  at its one end in the tube axis direction and a portion at the other end sewn to the front body  2  and the back body  3 . 
     The front portion to be sewn  54  in the front sleeve portion  51  and the back portion to be sewn  55  in the back sleeve portion  52  are formed so as to connect continuously to each other. That is, the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  representing the edge of the front portion to be sewn  54  and the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  representing the edge of the back portion to be sewn  55  are formed so as to connect continuously to each other. 
     The boundary between the front portion to be sewn  54  and the back portion to be sewn  55  is positioned on the sleeve head seam line  47  of the sleeve  4 . This boundary is the shoulder point SP corresponding to the outer end of the shoulder of a wearer when the sleeve  4  is sewn to the front body  2  and the back body  3 . The sleeve  4  is sewn to the front body  2  and to the back body  3  so that this shoulder point SP coincides with the shoulder point SP on the front body  2  and the back body  3 . This shoulder point SP corresponds, at the center of the sleeve  4  in the widthwise direction, to a bottommost portion in a recess  58  formed by the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  and the back sleeve attachment line  60   b.    
     As shown in  FIG. 2 , the sleeve  4  is defined with the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  representing the edge of the front portion to be sewn  54 , the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  representing the edge of the back portion to be sewn  55 , a front sleeve bottom line  61   a  representing the first end portion to be sewn  51   a  of the front sleeve portion  51 , a back sleeve bottom line  61   b  representing the second end portion to be sewn  52   a  of the back sleeve portion  52 , and a sleeve mouth line  62  representing the edge of the sleeve mouth  57 . 
     The front sleeve bottom line  61   a  and the back sleeve bottom line  61   b  are formed by being slanted at predetermined angles from the sleeve head seam line  47 . The sleeve  4  in the tubular state is thereby reduced in diameter with approach to the sleeve mouth  57 . 
     One end of the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  representing the edge of the front portion to be sewn  54  coincides with the shoulder point SP. The other end of the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  is a boundary point (hereinafter referred to as a “first boundary point”)  65  between the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  and the front sleeve bottom line  61   a . The first boundary point  65  is a point representing the boundary between the first end portion to be sewn  51   a  and the front portion to be sewn  54  in the front sleeve portion  51 . The front sleeve attachment line  60   a  is a curve projecting in the direction of extending away from the sleeve mouth  57  ( FIG. 9 ), i.e., the direction of projection toward the front body  2 , between the shoulder point SP and the first boundary point  65 . 
     The front sleeve portion  51  at the position (hereinafter referred to as “the vertex of the front sleeve attachment line”)  67  at which the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  projects most largely is sewn to the first sewing reference position  21  of the front body  2 . The vertex  67  of the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  projects toward the front body  2  relative to the shoulder point SP. 
     The back sleeve attachment line  60   b  representing the edge of the back portion to be sewn  55  has one end coinciding with the shoulder point SP. The other end of the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  is a boundary point (hereinafter referred to as a “second boundary point”)  70  between the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  and the back sleeve bottom line  61   b . The second boundary point  70  is a point representing the boundary between the second end portion to be sewn  52   a  and the back portion to be sewn  55  in the back sleeve portion  52 . The back sleeve attachment line  60   b  is a curve projecting in the direction of extending away from the sleeve mouth  57  ( FIG. 9 ), i.e., the direction of projection toward the back body  3 , between the shoulder point SP and the second boundary point  70 . 
     The back sleeve portion  52  at the position (hereinafter referred to as “the vertex of the back sleeve attachment line”)  72  at which the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  projects most largely is sewn to the back body  3  at the second sewing reference position  31 . The vertex  72  of the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  projects toward the back body  3  relative to the shoulder point SP. 
     If, when a line (hereinafter referred to as a “sleeve width line”)  75  connecting the first boundary point  65  and the second boundary point  70  is drawn, the length of a line  76  drawn from the shoulder point SP so as to be orthogonal to the sleeve width line  75  is A; and the length of a line  77  drawn from the vertex  67  of the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  so as to be orthogonal to the sleeve width line  75  is B, a relationship of A&lt;B is established. 
     Also, if the length of a line  78  drawn from the vertex  72  of the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  so as to be orthogonal to the sleeve width line  75  is C, a relationship of A&lt;C is established. Further, B and C may be in a relationship B=C. However, B and C may alternatively be set in a relationship B&lt;C by considering the fact that the range in which the arm can move in a forward direction is wider than the range in which the arm can move in a backward direction. The line  76  drawn from the shoulder point SP so as to be orthogonal to the sleeve width line  75  coincides with the sleeve width line  75 . 
     As a result, when the upper garment  1  is manufactured by sewing the front body  2  and the back body  3  to each other and by sewing the sleeve  4  to these bodies, part of the sleeve  4  is positioned above a line extended from the shoulder line  8  of the front body  2  (back body  3 ), as shown in  FIG. 9 . 
     Also, it is desirable that if the length of the armhole AH is L5, the distance A from the shoulder point SP to the sleeve width line  75  be set within a range: (⅛)×L5−0.02×L5≦A≦(⅛)×L5+0.02×L5. In this way, the sleeve attachment line can be made smooth (so that the curve is not steep) to facilitate sewing and to reduce the occurrence of the puckering problem or the like. 
     Also, it is desirable that the distance B from the vertex  67  of the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  to the sleeve width line  75  and the distance C from the vertex  72  of the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  to the sleeve width line  75  be set within a range: (⅛)×L5−0.01×L5≦B&lt;(⅛)×L5+0.03×L5 and a range: (⅛)×L5−0.01×L5≦C≦(⅛)×L5+0.03×L5. In this way, the sleeve attachment line can be made smooth (so that the curve is not steep) to facilitate sewing and to reduce the occurrence of the puckering problem or the like. 
     As cloth for the sleeve  4 , the front body  2  and the back body  3  of the upper garment  1 , for example, stretchable one or non-stretchable one may be used as desired. If the upper garment  1  uses stretchable cloth at least for a portion including or in the vicinity of an underarm portion, a combination of ease enabling following the movement of the arm and the stretchability of the cloth facilitates following the movement of the arm. 
     In the upper garment  1  according to the first embodiment of the present invention as described above, the first sewing reference position  21  on the front body  2  is set nearest to the center of the front body  2  in the widthwise direction in the first portion to be sewn  6 , and the point (the vertex  67  of the front sleeve attachment line  60   a ) to be sewn to the first portion to be sewn  6  in the front portion to be sewn  54  in the front sleeve portion  51  projects toward the front body  2  relative to the shoulder point of the sleeve  4 , thereby enabling a portion in the vicinity of the vertex  67  of the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  in the front sleeve portion  51  to follow the movement of the arm when the wearer largely moves the arm backward. As a result, the front body  2  is not easily pulled by the sleeve  4  (front sleeve portion  51 ). 
     Description will be made in more detail with respect to this point. As described above, the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2  is formed so as to be concave toward the front center line  15   a  relative to the straight line  17  connecting the kamazoko  35  and the shoulder point SP on the front body  2 . Accordingly, part of the sleeve  4  occupies the region surrounded by the front armhole line  9   a  of the first portion to be sewn  6  and the straight line  17 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 , when a straight line  19   a  connecting the shoulder point and the first boundary point  65  on the sleeve  4  is imaginarily drawn, the region surrounded as described above corresponds to a region surrounded by the straight line  19   a  and the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  (the portion corresponding to this region will be referred to as a “base portion of the sleeve on the front sleeve portion side”  4   a ). 
     In the present embodiment, the base portion  4   a  of the sleeve  4  on the front sleeve portion  54  side penetrates the front center line  15   a  side of the straight line  17  connecting the shoulder point SP and the kamazoko  35  on the front body  2 . In this state the front portion to be sewn  54  is sewn to the first portion to be sewn  6 . As a result, the base portion  4   a  of the sleeve  4  on the front sleeve portion  51  side occupies the region surrounded by the front armhole line  9   a  and the straight line  17  connecting the kamazoko  35  and the shoulder point SP on the front body  2 . 
     When the wearer largely swings the arm backward while wearing the upper garment  1 , the base portion  4   a  of the sleeve  4  on the front sleeve portion  51  side absorbs the amount of movement of the sleeve  4  following this movement of the arm to prevent the front body  2  from being pulled by the sleeve  4 . That is, the base portion  4   a  of the sleeve  4  on the front sleeve portion  51  side is formed with a little enlargement (ease) to be capable of following the movement of the sleeve  4  when the sleeve  4  is largely swung. As shown in  FIG. 21 , this ease is formed by largely projecting the sleeve attachment lines  60   a  and  60   b  to the body  2  and body  3  sides relative to the sleeve attachment lines (indicated by reference numeral  48 ) of a conventional sleeve. That is, in the present embodiment, the area of the sleeve is increased from that of the conventional sleeve by the area of the portion (hatched in  FIG. 2 ) surrounded by the sleeve attachment line  48  of the conventional sleeve and the sleeve attachment lines  60   a  and  60   b  and the sleeve bottom lines  61   a  and  61   b  in the present embodiment. Ease is produced by this portion. 
     Thus, even when the wearer largely moves the arm backward, the base portion  4   a  of the sleeve  4  on the front sleeve portion  51  side in the upper garment  1  follows the movement of the sleeve  4 , thereby reducing the pull of the front body  2  from the sleeve  4 . 
     Moreover, the base portion  4   a  of the sleeve  4  on the front sleeve portion  51  side is formed in the upper garment  1  so that the base portion  4   a  can follow the movement of the sleeve  4  even when the wearer largely moves the arm up and down, thereby reducing the pull of the front body  2  from the sleeve  4 . 
     Also, the first sewing reference position  21  on the front body  2  is set in correspondence with the crest of greater tubercle (the portion indicated by reference numeral  26  in  FIG. 6 ) of the wearer to which the greater pectoral muscle (indicated by reference numeral  25  in  FIG. 5 ) inserts, thereby enabling reducing the pull of the front body  2  from the sleeve  4  more effectively. That is, since the muscles move largely and strongly in the vicinity of the crest of greater tubercle  26 , the placement of part of the sleeve  4  (a portion in the vicinity of the vertex  67  of the front sleeve attachment line  60   a ) at this position enables the sleeve  4  to follow this movement so that the pull of the front body  2  from the sleeve  4  is reduced. 
     Also, the second sewing reference position  31  on the back body  3  is positioned nearest to the center of the back body  3  in the widthwise direction in the second portion to be sewn  12 , and the point (the vertex  72  of the back sleeve attachment line  60   b ) to be sewn to the second sewing reference position  31  on the second portion to be sewn  12  in the back portion to be sewn  55  in the back sleeve portion  52  is projected toward the back body  3  relative to the shoulder point SP on the sleeve  4  to enable a base portion  4   b  of the sleeve  4  on the back sleeve portion  52  side to follow the movement of the arm when the wearer moves the arm forward by inwardly bending the arm, thus reducing the pull of the back body  3  from the sleeve  4  (back sleeve portion  52 ). 
     This is achieved by providing an arrangement similar to that relating to the front body  2 , such that the straight line  18  connecting the shoulder point SP and the kamazoko  35  on the back body  3  is drawn and part of the sleeve  4  occupies the region surrounded by the straight line  18  and the back armhole line  9   b.    
     That is, referring to  FIG. 2 , when a straight line  19   b  connecting the shoulder point and the second boundary point  70  on the sleeve  4  is imaginarily drawn, the region surrounded as described above corresponds to a region surrounded by the straight line  19   b  and the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  (the portion corresponding to this region will be referred to as a “base portion of the sleeve on the back sleeve portion side”  4   b ). 
     In the present embodiment, the base portion  4   b  of the sleeve  4  on the back sleeve portion  55  side penetrates the back center line  15   b  side of the straight line  18  connecting the shoulder point SP and the kamazoko  35  on the back body  3 . In this state the back portion to be sewn  55  is sewn to the second portion to be sewn  12 . As a result, the base portion  4   b  of the sleeve  4  on the back sleeve portion  52  side occupies the region surrounded by the back armhole line  9   b  and the straight line  18  connecting the kamazoko  35  and the shoulder point SP on the back body  3 . 
     When the wearer largely swings the arm forward while wearing the upper garment  1 , the base portion  4   a  of the sleeve  4  on the back sleeve portion  52  side absorbs the amount of movement of the sleeve  4  following this movement of the arm to prevent the back body  2  from being pulled by the sleeve  4 . That is, the base portion  4   b  of the sleeve  4  on the back sleeve portion  52  side is formed with a little enlargement (ease) to be capable of following the movement of the sleeve  4  when the sleeve  4  is largely swung. 
     Thus, even when the wearer largely moves the arm forward, the base portion  4   b  of the sleeve  4  on the back sleeve portion  52  side in the upper garment  1  follows the movement of the sleeve  4 , thereby reducing the pull of the back body  2  from the sleeve  4 . 
     Moreover, the base portion  4   b  of the sleeve  4  on the back sleeve portion  52  side is formed in the upper garment  1  so that the base portion  4   b  can follow the movement of the sleeve  4  even when the wearer largely moves the arm up and down, thereby reducing the pull of the back body  3  from the sleeve  4 . 
     Also, because of the provision on the infraglenoid tubercle  33  of the blade bone of the wearer in which the long head of the triceps brachii muscle originates, it is possible to reduce the pull of the back body  3  from the sleeve  4  more effectively. That is, since the muscles move largely and strongly in the vicinity of the infraglenoid tubercle  33 , the placement of part of the sleeve  4  (a portion in the vicinity of the vertex  72  of the back sleeve attachment line  60   b ) at this position enables the sleeve  4  to follow this movement so that the pull of the back body  3  from the sleeve  4  can be reduced. 
     Further, since part of the sleeve  4  is positioned above a line extended from the shoulder line  8  of the body (front body  2 , back body  3 ), the amount of movement of the sleeve  4  when the arm is moved upward is reduced, thereby reducing the pull of the front body  2  from the front sleeve portion  51 . 
     Thus, if a comparison is made between a case where a wearer wears the conventional upper garment  1  as shown in  FIGS. 10( a ) and 11( a )  and a case where a wearer wears the upper garment  1  according to the present embodiment as shown in  FIGS. 10( b ) and 11( b ) , the pull of the body from the sleeve  4  can be reduced more largely in the case of wearing the upper garment  1  according to the present embodiment even when the arm is largely swung up, down, upward or backward. The upper garment  1  thus enables swing of the arm according to a wearer&#39;s intension, for example, in doing various athletic sports, activities or the like. 
     Also, the upper garment  1  has underarm portions formed only by the front body  2 , the back body  3  and the sleeves  4 , has the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2 , the front portion to be sewn  54  in the front sleeve portion  51 , the second portion to be sewn  12  of the back body  3  and the back portion to be sewn  55  in the back sleeve portion  52 , is provided with no separate parts including a gusset, can be provided with ease in a base portion of the sleeve  4 , and is, therefore, capable of reducing the cost and labor. 
     Further, the upper garment  1  can be provided with ease in a base portion of the sleeve  4  without performing working for tucks, pleats or the like between the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2  and the front portion to be sewn  54  in the front sleeve portion  51  and between the second portion to be sewn  12  of the back body  3  and the back portion to be sewn  55  in the back sleeve portion  52 , and is, therefore, capable of reducing the cost and labor. 
       FIGS. 12 to 16  show a second embodiment of the upper garment  1 . A raglan-type upper garment  1  will be described as the second embodiment by way of example. 
     The shapes of a front body  2 , a back body  3  and sleeves  4  in the second embodiment are different from those in the first embodiment. While the shoulder line  8  is provided on the front body  2  in the above-described first embodiment, no shoulder line  8  is provided on the front body  2  in the second embodiment. In the front body  2 , the upper end of the first portion to be sewn  6  to which the sleeve  4  (front sleeve portion  51 ) is sewn reaches the neck. Similarly, no shoulder line  8  is provided on the back body  3 . In the back body  3 , the upper end of the second portion to be sewn  12  to which the sleeve  4  (back sleeve portion  52 ) is sewn reaches the neck. 
     Also, while each of the upper end of the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2  and the upper end of the second portion to be sewn  12  of the back body  3  is a shoulder point SP, the shoulder point SP is provided at a position separate from these upper ends in the present embodiment. 
     Also in the present embodiment, the sleeve  4  is divided into a front sleeve portion  51  and a back sleeve portion  52  by a sleeve head seam line  47 , as is that in the first embodiment. The front sleeve portion  51  has a front portion to be sewn  54 , which is sewn to the front body  2 , as does the front sleeve portion  51  in the first embodiment. The back sleeve portion  52  has a back portion to be sewn  55 , which is sewn to the back body  3 , as does the back sleeve portion  52  in the first embodiment. 
     In the present embodiment, as shown in  FIGS. 12 and 13 , the sleeve  4  has, at its center in the widthwise direction, a projecting portion  81  projecting toward the neck of the front body  2  and the back body  3 . Since the projecting portion  81  is provided at the center of the sleeve  4  in the widthwise direction, it is divided into two portions by the sleeve head seam line  47 . One of the two portions divided by the sleeve head seam line  47  forms part of the front portion to be sewn  54  in the front sleeve portion  51 , and the other of the two portions forms part of the back portion to be sewn  55  in the back sleeve portion  52 . 
     Also in the present embodiment, the first sewing reference position  21  described with respect to the first embodiment is set in the front portion to be sewn  54  of the front body  2 , and the second sewing reference position  31  described with respect to the first embodiment is set in the back portion to be sewn  55  of the back body  3 . 
     A portion of the projecting portion  81  of the sleeve  4  from the projecting end to the shoulder point SP contacts the shoulder of a wearer, while a portion from the shoulder point SP to its base portion contacts the arm (upper arm) of the wearer. 
     Also, the projecting end of the projecting portion  81  forms part of the neck. This projecting end is referred as a neck forming portion  83  below. The neck forming portion  83  intersects the sleeve head seam line  47  by its intermediate portion (the point of this intersection is indicated by reference numeral  84 ). 
     The front portion to be sewn  54  in the front sleeve portion  51  is formed in an area from the first boundary point  65  described with respect to the first embodiment to one end of the neck forming portion  83  (an end  51   a  on the front sleeve portion  51  side). A front sleeve attachment line  60   a  formed of a predetermined curve is formed as the edge of the front portion to be sewn  54 . 
     The front sleeve attachment line  60   a  is represented by a three-order curve in a state where the sleeve  4  is unfolded as shown in  FIG. 13 . More specifically, if the sleeve width line  75  of the sleeve  4  and the sleeve head seam line  47  are assumed to represent X-coordinates and Y coordinates, respectively, in  FIG. 13 , the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  is a curve having a point corresponding to a minimum Y-coordinate (indicated by reference numeral  86  in  FIG. 13 ) and a point corresponding to a maximum Y-coordinate (indicated by reference numeral  87  in  FIG. 13 ) between the first boundary point  65  and the neck forming portion  83 . 
     This minimum point  86  is positioned nearer to the center of the front body  2  in the widthwise direction (front center line  15   b ) relative to the shoulder point SP when the front portion to be sewn  54  in the front sleeve portion  51  is sewn to the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2 . In the present embodiment, the minimum point  86  on the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  is a point for discrimination of the projecting portion  81  in the front sleeve portion  51 . 
     That is, in the present embodiment, the portion from the projecting end of the projecting portion  81  to the minimum point  86  on the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  forms the projecting portion  81 . The position of the minimum point  86  is referred to as a “base portion in the projecting portion on the front sleeve portion side” below. The same reference numeral  86  as that for the minimum point is used for the base portion  86  in the projecting portion  81  on the front sleeve portion  51  side below. 
     In the projecting portion  81 , the edge of the portion from the one end  83   a  of the neck forming portion  83  to the base portion  86  in the projecting portion  81  on the front sleeve portion  51  side is sewn to the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2 . That is, this portion in the projecting portion  81  is sewn to the front body  2  integrally with the front portion to be sewn  54 . 
     The maximum point  87  on the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  is provided between the first boundary point  65  and the base portion  86  in the projecting portion  81  on the front sleeve portion  51  side. The front sleeve portion  51  is formed so that the position (portion) of the maximum point  87  projects toward the front body  2  relative to the shoulder point SP on the sleeve  4 . 
     The front sleeve portion  51  is sewn at the position of the maximum point  87  on the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  to the first sewing reference position  21  set on the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2 . That is, the portion in the front sleeve portion  51  projecting to the front body  2  side relative to the shoulder point SP and projecting to the front body  2  side most largely between the base portion  86  in the projecting portion  81  on the front sleeve portion  51  side and the first boundary point  65  is sewn to the first sewing reference position  21 . 
     While the front portion to be sewn  54  in the front sleeve portion  51  is formed in the area from the first boundary point  65  described with respect to the first embodiment to the one end  83   a  of the neck forming portion  83 , the back portion to be sewn  55  in the back sleeve portion  52  is formed in an area from the second boundary point  70  described with respect to the first embodiment to the other end  83   b  of the neck forming portion  83 . A back sleeve attachment line  60   b  formed of a predetermined curve is formed at the edge of the back portion to be sewn  55 . 
     The back sleeve attachment line  60   b  is represented by a three-order curve in a state where the sleeve  4  is unfolded as shown in  FIG. 13 . More specifically, if the sleeve width line  75  of the sleeve  4  and the sleeve head seam line  47  are assumed to represent X-coordinates and Y coordinates, respectively, in  FIG. 13 , the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  is a curve having a point corresponding to a minimum Y-coordinate (indicated by reference numeral  88  in  FIG. 13 ) and a point corresponding to a maximum Y-coordinate (indicated by reference numeral  89  in  FIG. 13 ) between the second boundary point  70  and the neck forming portion  83 . 
     This minimum point  88  is positioned nearer to the center of the back body  3  in the widthwise direction (back center line  15   b ) relative to the shoulder point SP when the back portion to be sewn  55  in the back sleeve portion  52  is sewn to the second portion to be sewn  12  of the front body  2 . In the present embodiment, the minimum point  88  on the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  is a point for discrimination of the projecting portion  81  in the back sleeve portion  52 . 
     That is, in the present embodiment, the portion from the projecting end of the projecting portion  81  to the minimum point  88  on the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  forms the projecting portion  81 . The position of the minimum point  88  is referred to as a “base portion in the projecting portion on the back sleeve portion side” below. The same reference numeral  88  as that for the minimum point is used for the base portion in the projecting portion  81  on the back sleeve portion  52  side below. 
     In the projecting portion  81 , the edge of the portion from the other end  83   b  of the neck forming portion  83  to the base portion  88  in the projecting portion  81  on the back sleeve portion  52  side is sewn to the second portion to be sewn  12  of the back body  3 . That is, this portion in the projecting portion  81  is sewn to the back body  3  integrally with the front portion to be sewn  54 . 
     The maximum point  89  on the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  is provided between the second boundary point  70  and the base portion  88  in the projecting portion  81  on the back sleeve portion  52  side. The back sleeve portion  52  is formed so that the position (portion) of the maximum point  89  projects toward the back body  3  relative to the shoulder point SP on the sleeve  4 . 
     The back sleeve portion  52  is sewn at the position of the maximum point  89  on the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  to the second sewing reference position  31  set on the second portion to be sewn  12  of the back body  3 . That is, the portion in the back sleeve portion  52  projecting to the back body  3  side relative to the shoulder point SP and projecting to the back body  3  side most largely between the base portion  88  in the projecting portion  81  on the back sleeve portion  52  side and the second boundary point  70  is sewn to the second sewing reference position  31 . 
     In the first embodiment, the shoulder point SP indicated on the sleeve  4  is positioned at the bottom of the recess  58  formed by the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  and the back sleeve attachment line  60   b . In the present embodiment, the shoulder point SP is positioned at an intermediate position in the projecting portion  81  and on the sleeve head seam line  47 . The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in this point. 
     The way of setting this shoulder point SP will be described below. For example, for the shoulder point SP of the sleeve  4 , a shoulder point SP is set on the back body  3 . In correspondence with this shoulder point SP on the back body  3 , the shoulder point SP on the sleeve  4  is set. 
     A shoulder point SP is set on the back body  3  by taking measurements on the back body  3  on the basis of sizes set in advance with respect to the upper. garment  1 . The sizes set in advance with respect to the upper garment  1  are, for example, a neck size corresponding to the size around the neck of the wearer who wears the upper garment  1 , a chest size corresponding to the size around the chest of the wearer, a chest size of the front body  2  (front chest FC) corresponding to the chest size of the wearer, a chest size of the back body  3  (back chest BC) corresponding to the chest size of the wearer, the length of the armhole AH, and the length of the upper garment  1  between the top and the bottom. 
     To take measurements on the back body  3 , the position of a base point  91  thereon is first determined. The base point  91  is the lowermost end of the neckline representing the edge of the neck of the back body  3  and the base point  91  is positioned on the back center line  15   b  of the back body  3 . The back center line  15   b  is drawn on the basis of the base point  91 , and the length of the garment is taken from the base point  91 . By taking the length of the garment, the position of the bottom of the upper garment  1  (back body  3 ) is determined. The bottom is represented by a bottom line  11  orthogonal to the back center line  15   b.    
     Next, the position of the kamazoko  35  is determined. The kamazoko  35  is set at a position at a predetermined distance away from the base point  91  along the back center line  15   b . In ordinary cases, the length from the base point  91  to the kamazoko  35  is equal to ¼ of the chest size. 
     In the present embodiment, the kamazoko  35  is positioned higher than the ordinary position of the kamazoko  35  by 1/32 of the chest size. A chest line  37  passing through the kamazoko  35  and orthogonal to the back center line  15   b  (or the front center line  15   a ) is drawn on the back body  3  and the front body  2 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 12 , a back line  45  is drawn at a position corresponding to a half of the length from the base point  91  to the kamazoko  35  so as to be orthogonal to the back center line  15   b . The second sewing reference position  31  is a point of intersection of the back line  45  and the back armhole line  9   b  of the second portion to be sewn  12 . 
     An upper end  93  of the back neck  5   b  is also determined on the basis of the base point  91 . The upper end  93  of the back neck  5   b  is set at a predetermined distance away from the base point  91  in the direction along the back center line  15   b . The distance (height) between the base point  91  and the upper end  93  of the back neck  5   b  along the back center line  15   b  is equal to 1/16 of the neck size. 
     Also, the upper end  93  of the back neck  5   b  is set at a predetermined distance away from the base point  91  in the widthwise direction (the direction along the back line  45 ). The distance (width) between the base point  91  and the upper end  93  of the back neck  5   b  in the widthwise direction is set to 3/16 of the neck size. 
     Referring to  FIG. 12 , a second auxiliary line  46  passing through the upper end  93  of the back neck  5   b  and orthogonal to the back center line  15   b  is drawn as an imaginarily line. Further, a shoulder line  8  slanting at a predetermined angle from the second auxiliary line  46  is drawn as an imaginary line. In the present embodiment, the interior angle between the second auxiliary line  46  and the shoulder line  8  is set to 17°. 
     The second sewing reference position  31  on the back body  3  is set at a predetermined distance away from the position of the boundary between the back armhole line  9   b  of the second portion to be sewn  12  and the front armhole line  9   a  of the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2 , i.e., from the kamazoko  35 , in the widthwise direction of the back body  3  (the direction along the chest line  37 ). The distance between the kamazoko  35  and the second sewing reference position  31  in the widthwise direction of the back body  3  is equal to ⅛ of the chest size (back chest BC) of the back body  3 . 
     On the back body  3 , a back guide line  44  passing through the second sewing reference position  31  and orthogonal to the chest line  37  is drawn. One end of the back guide line  44  reaches the chest line  37 , while the other end reaches the second auxiliary line  46 . The second sewing reference position  31  is set at a position at a predetermined distance away from the second auxiliary line  46  in the direction along the back guide line  44 . 
     The shoulder line  8  intersects the back guide line  44 . One end of the shoulder line  8  coincides with the upper end  93  of the back neck  5   b , while the other end of the shoulder line  8  projects out from the back guide line  44 . It is desirable that the length of the portion of the shoulder line  8  projecting out from the back guide line  44  be within the range from 2% or more of the length of the armhole AH to 4% or less of the length of the armhole AH. 
     A projecting end  95  of the shoulder line  8  is set in this way as a shoulder point SP on the back body  3 . The length of the shoulder line  8  (the length from the upper end  93  of the back neck  5   b  to the projecting end  95  of the shoulder line  8 ) is measured and the shoulder point SP on the sleeve  4  is set on the sleeve head seam line  47  of the sleeve  4  at a position at a distance equal to the length of the shoulder line  8  from a point of intersection  84  of the neck forming portion  83  and the sleeve head seam line  47  of the sleeve  4 . 
     On the front and back bodies  2  and  3 , raglan points RP are set as reference points for forming the desired front armhole line  9   a  and back armhole line  9   b . For example, a raglan point RP on the back body  3  is set as described below. First, as shown in  FIG. 12 , the distance from a point of intersection  96  of the back guide line  44  and the second auxiliary line  46  to the second sewing reference position  31  is measured. 
     Next, a length L6 which is ¼ of this length is computed. A position (hereinafter referred to as a “middle point”)  97  at a half (middle) of the portion from the point of intersection  96  to the second sewing reference position  31  on the back guide line  44  is then determined. Finally, a point  98  at a distance equal to the length L6 from the middle point toward the back center line  15   b  in the direction orthogonal to the back guide line  44  is determined. 
     The point  98  is thus determined as a raglan point RP. A raglan point is set in the same way with respect to the first portion to be sewn  6  of the front body  2 . The front armhole line  9   a  of the front body  2  and the back armhole line  9   b  of the back body  3  are set as curves such as to extend from the first sewing reference position  21  and the second sewing reference position  31  to the neck via the raglan points RP. 
     In other respects, the arrangement in the present embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment. The components common to the first and second embodiments are indicated by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and the description for them will not be repeated. 
     In the upper garment  1  according to the present embodiment, the point (the maximum point  87  on the front sleeve attachment line  60   a ) in the front portion to be sewn  54  in the front sleeve portion  51 , which point is to be sewn to the first sewing reference position  21  on the first portion to be sewn  6 , is projected toward the front body  2  relative to the shoulder point SP on the sleeve  4 . Therefore, when the wearer largely moves the arm backward, the portion in the vicinity of the vertex  87  of the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  in the front sleeve portion  51  follows this movement, so that the front body  2  is not easily pulled by the sleeve  4  (front sleeve portion  51 ). That is, with the above-described arrangement, “ease” for enabling the sleeve  4  to follow the movement of the arm of the wearer is formed around the front portion to be sewn  54  and the back portion to be sewn  55  of the sleeve  4 . More specifically, this ease is formed by largely projecting the sleeve attachment lines  60   a  and  60   b  to the body  2  and body  3  sides relative to the sleeve attachment lines (indicated by reference numeral  48 ) of the conventional raglan-type sleeve, as shown in  FIG. 13 . That is, in the present embodiment, the area of the sleeve is increased from that of the conventional sleeve by the area of the portion (hatched in  FIG. 13 ) surrounded by the sleeve attachment line  48  of the conventional sleeve and the sleeve attachment lines  60   a  and  60   b  and the sleeve bottom lines  61   a  and  61   b  in the present embodiment. Ease is produced by this portion. 
     Moreover, even when the wearer largely moves the arm up and down, the portion in the vicinity of the vertex  67  of the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  follows this movement, so that the portion of the front body  2  below the sleeve  4  is not easily pulled. 
     Also, in the back portion to be sewn  55  in the back sleeve portion  52 , the point (the maximum point  89  on the back sleeve attachment line  60   b ) to be sewn to the second sewing reference position  31  on the second portion to be sewn  12  is projected toward the back body  3  relative to the shoulder point SP on the sleeve  4 . Therefore, when the wearer largely moves the arm forward by inwardly bending the arm, the portion in the vicinity of the maximum point  89  on the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  in the back sleeve portion  52  follows this movement, so that the back body  3  is not easily pulled by the sleeve  4  (back sleeve portion  52 ). 
     Moreover, even when the wearer largely moves the arm up and down, the portion in the vicinity of the vertex  72  of the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  follows this movement, so that the portion of the back body  3  below the sleeve  4  is not easily pulled. 
     Further, since part of the sleeve  4  is positioned above a line extended from the shoulder line  8  of the body (front body  2 , back body  3 ), the amount of movement of the sleeve  4  when the arm is moved upward is reduced, thereby reducing the pull of the front body  2  from the front sleeve portion  51 . 
     Also, in the front portion to be sewn  54  in the front sleeve portion  51 , the point (the maximum point  87  on the front sleeve attachment line  60   a ) to be sewn to the first portion to be sewn  6  is projected toward the front body  2  relative to the base portion  86  in the projecting portion  81  on the front sleeve portion  51  side. Therefore, even when the wearer largely moves the arm backward and when the projecting portion  81  follows this movement, the portion in the vicinity of the maximum point  87  on the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  in the front sleeve portion  51  follows the movement of the projecting portion  81  in the region below the projecting portion  81 , so that the front body  2  is not easily pulled by the sleeve  4  (front sleeve portion  51 ). 
     In the front portion to be sewn  54  in the front sleeve portion  51 , the point (the maximum point  87  on the front sleeve attachment line  60   a ) to be sewn to the first sewing reference position  21  on the first portion to be sewn  6  is projected toward the front body  2  relative to the base portion  86  in the projecting portion  81  on the front sleeve portion  51  side. Therefore, even when the wearer largely moves the arm backward and when the projecting portion  81  follows this movement, the portion in the vicinity of the maximum point  87  on the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  on the front sleeve portion  51  side follows the movement of the projecting portion  81  in the region below the projecting portion  81 , so that the front body  2  is not easily pulled by the sleeve  4  (front sleeve portion  51 ). 
     Similarly, in the back portion to be sewn  55  in the back sleeve portion  52 , the point (the maximum point  89  on the back sleeve attachment line  60   b ) to be sewn to the second sewing reference position  31  on the second portion to be sewn  12  is projected toward the back body  3  relative to the base portion  88  in the projecting portion  81  on the back sleeve portion  52  side. Therefore, even when the wearer largely moves the arm backward and when the projecting portion  81  follows this movement, the portion in the vicinity of the maximum point  89  on the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  on the back sleeve portion  52  side follows the movement of the projecting portion  81  in the region below the projecting portion  81 , so that the back body  3  is not easily pulled by the sleeve  4  (front sleeve portion  51 ). 
     The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Various modifications and changes can be made in the embodiments. 
     For example, the front sleeve attachment line  60   a  and the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  of the second embodiment are not limited to three-order curves. The front sleeve attachment line  60   a  and the back sleeve attachment line  60   b  may be formed of any of other various curves. 
     With respect to the above-described embodiments, upper garments with half-length sleeves have been described by way of example. However, the present invention is not limit to such upper garments. The present invention can be applied to long sleeve or other various types of upper garments. 
     The front body, back body and sleeves of the upper garment are formed by cutting cloth on the basis of a predetermined pattern. However, margins to seam, necessary for sewing, are separately formed thereon. With respect to the first sewing reference position, the second sewing reference position, the shoulder points and the raglan points, notches or some other marks may be attached to the corresponding margins to seam for recognition of the positions. 
     To enable the sleeves of the upper garment to follow the movements of the arms more easily, separate parts such as gussets may be provided in the vicinity of underarm portions, cloth higher in stretchability than that for the bodies may be used only for the sleeves, and working for tucks, pleats or the like may be performed. 
     As is usual with upper garments for athletic sports in particular, cloth changes are provided for a reason in terms of design, for example, in expressing a lively feeling. Such cloth changes may be provided as desired if the function to follow the movement of the arm is not seriously impaired. Also, the bodies and sleeves may be divided into suitable pieces (may be constituted of a plurality of parts) if the function to follow the movement of the arm is not seriously impaired. 
     In the upper garment according to the present invention, cloth having high stretchability may be used for close fitting to the body of a wearer. Also, cloth having low or no stretchability or any other cloth may be used as desired provided that a setting is made to enable following the movement of the arm. 
     INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY 
     The upper garment according to the present invention can be used, for example, in a case where the arm is largely moved forward, backward, up or down as in sports or certain activities.
