Full-Length Sleeveless Robe

A gentleman’s son

It’s easy to miss the hanging sleeves of the classic Ottoman overcoat. There were no sleeveless long coats in period.

Alternatively, if the robe is worn by a woman, it’s the 18th-century incarnation of the kürdiye. The kürdiye was introduced at the end of the 16th century, and for the next several decades it had sleeves.
