Benefits of technology

The invention is a long sleeve shirt with an added stretch panel in the sleeves. This allows the shirt to roll up or down quickly by stretching the sleeves.

Problems solved by technology

When the weather changes, wearers must take the shirt off in order to roll the sleeve up or down because the rolled material gets too tight around the bicep.

[0022]The present invention incorporates a stretch panel 38 into a BDU or other shirt long sleeve 12. BDUs are typically made from fabrics including nylon / cotton blends, polyester / cotton blends, 100% cotton, and polyester / rayon blends. In addition, the fabrics may be treated so they are fire-retardant.
