I've been pondering the long, circle-ona-fitted-sleeve type of early 15thC
sleeves for a while, and I've noticed... there doesn't seem to be any seam
between the circly type part and the rest of the sleeve. In other words,
NOT a circle sewn on, but rather a dramatic flare starting at the wrist.
Has anyone seen a painting/illumination/etc that seems to indicate a seam
there? For example, in the recently posted painting, there seems to be no
disconnect in the fabric's pattern... it looks like it was cut all of a
piece with the rest of the sleeve.
