Loose Waterfall Sleeve, wool blend, green-red

Product description

This loose sleeve brings the extravagant appearance of sixteenth-century landsknecht fashion to any historical or fantasy outfit. Layered, slashed panels cascade like a waterfall over the arm, with edge that each time reveal a contrasting underlining — an effect that suggests movement, even when you stand still.

The landsknechts were known for their fur, brightly coloured clothing, an expression of their exemption from the clothing laws that applied to most people in their time. Bright colour, asymmetrical cuts and striking edge on every garment, from hat to boot, were their trademark. This version in green-red fits perfectly into that tradition.

Made from brushed wool with a soft cotton lining, the sleeve is attached with brass endpoints to shoelaces to the eyelets of the matching gambeson. Sold separately: combine two copies for a symmetrical whole, or combine it with the other sleeve from the same line for an asymmetrical, personal combination. Available in size S through 2XL.
