In 1929, Women’s Wear Daily wrote that the excitement of evening coats was concentrated in sleeve styles, presaging the following decade’s pronounced interest in statement sleeves. The volume of the fabric in this example is controlled through a series of tucks arranged over the fashionably wide collar and architectural sleeves.
