Looks like a typical hanging sleeve, with an opening in front to allow the arm to come out (not necessarily on the seam). The body of the garment looks like it fastens offset, on the left front side, kind of like a double breasted cloak. Similar to a Russian shirt, with the fastening on the left side front. At least, from what I can see from the illustration. If you have the Braun and Schneider book "Historic Costume in Pictures", look at plates 22, lower right--the judge has a similar garment and plate 23, lower right, French noblemen, for better examples of the sleeve.

German interpretation assistance
So I have this friend who said "if you make it for me I will wear it" and I want to make this outer garment: http://diglit.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/diglit/cpg848/0141?sid=8d563ad12e918dcb1c d18fb352e23e86 I am having a disagreement with my other half about how to interpret it, though. It's the only one in the manuscript, I just doublechecked, so nothing to compare it with. Anyway and anyhow, what *I* read is that it has sleeves attached at the shoulder but then the body is slit up all the way to the armpit on the sides, or at least the left side. Then the sleeve seam is on the bottom, and this seam is also slit to allow the arm to come out. And it has buttons up the front. Thoughts, anyone?
