In reply to Beth in MN.

Um, right. So if you look at the two pictures of the flat capishays, the part of the sleeve that faces "down" would be sewn together on a normal garment. On a capishay, they start sewing from the cuff inward and stop about halfway to the armpit. The cuff (part your hands would go through on a normal shirt) is open, but a little too small to actually get your arms through.
