These types of sleeves would most likely be used in the 1500’s in Europe. A scogger is defined as a Tudor era
garment that was worn on the arm or lower leg (an example was found in the wreck of the Mary Rose along with
other interesting bits of knitting).

Sailors and clerks wore scoggers for warmth and to protect their sleeves from wear. They are particularly useful to keep chemise and shirt sleeves from getting in the way when doing chores, spinning, or doing clerical work. The longer sleeve would be pinned to a bodice or jerkin at the shoulder, providing a fairly free range of movement. White and red appear to have been the most popular colors for the long sleeves, and a good natural wool could be used for the more utilitarian scoggers. The longer sleeve would be lovely as a leg warmer under
some of those drafty Tudor skirts if you haven’t time to make a full set of stockings, and the short scogger is a good thing to have to help control voluminous sleeves at dinner or a feast.
