Abstract
Some upper-body garments can include shoulder sleeves. Examples of this disclosure include a gusset coupled to, and extending between, a shoulder sleeve and a torso portion adjacent an armhole of the torso portion. The gusset can improve mobility, such as when the upper-body garment is worn over shoulder pads.
