You know, that fashion (tight cuffs, very loose around the elbows) must have been really uncomfortable. No wonder it died out as quickly as it did and wasn't resurrected.
The Spanish depicted the Moors for centuries with very loose sleeves, but always with massive cuffs.

This is reinforced by this image of a Moorish slave in Western costume where he has tight sleeves, as do his masters:

However, the tight trousers (I forget their name) and the ruffed kilt above them is certainly additional evidence in Koen's picture comparison.
