History Of Use
Such garments were worn by women as outer garments when working in the home in winter. The blue fabric serves as decoration and to protect the sleeve ends from dirt, but sleeves with such bands were worn by women who were above the labouring class. When such garments were washed, they had to be taken apart and then reassembled when clean.

The blue sleeve ends indicate that the wearer was above the labouring class.
