Its frontpiece is produced from the same fabric as the rest of the suit, its backpiece from a lining. The sleeved w. has sleeves and usually lapels; it is a separate item of sports- or workwear, and is worn in place of a jacket. It has its origins in the Thirty Years' War, at which time it had sleeves. It became sleeveless and tail-less in the 18th century, when it attained its current form. Was produced in luxury, richly embroidered fabrics.
