In Mexicos cities and large towns, Mexicans wear clothing similar to that worn in the United States. The villagers clothes, however, are very simple and practical. Village men usually wear plain cotton shirts and pants with leather sandals called huaraches. The village women wear blouses and long, full skirts. They usually go barefoot. They use shawls, which are called rebozos, to cover their heads.
A raglan shirt is known by many names such as the baseball shirt or raglan tee. This shirt is notably characterized by its sleeves which extend in one piece completely to the collar. This leaves a slanting seam from the underarm to the collarbone. In addition the sleeves are usually found in both half and three quarter length varieties.
