So, taking things at face value: this is Paris, it's 1415 and this is the king. Is this current fashion?
And while the style of those scalloped, laced or dagged sleeves may have been prominent under certain circumstances, it wasn't all simultaneous, was it? The timing could vary with the location. Since all the characters seem to be male, the differentiation isn't based on gender. Could differentiation in this circumstance be based on power? The king gets to have fancy sleeves, but not the other guys.
I did not mean to imply that there were stylistic similarities with the VMs characters. My intention, since a proper, traditional, heraldic, understanding and recognition of the nebuly line is so important to the correct interpretation of the VMs Cosmos and the VMs Critter, was to provide a clear and historically relevant demonstration to that effect. And at the same time to remark on how the provenance of this relevant item seems to fit in with the provenance of other relevant items. It's not like the provenance points to Mazatlan in 1515.
