Not tekko (sp?). Full length separate sleeves, like kote, but not armoured. A question of construction. They seem fairly snug; would they have been cut on the bias, perhaps a pair laid out diagonally on a wider than normal (by Japanese standards) bolt? I am aware that most Japanese clothing pieces are strictly cut to length and tailored by seam allowances and angles, but the flexibility afforded by bias cut would help here. Also, were they attached to the over or undergarments at the shoulders, or to each other behind the upper back somewhere? There was a brief discussion of the proper name two years ago on this forum (16 Jan. 2014), but no construction details.

The ones I've seen, described in Jidai Ishou no Nuikata (「時代衣装の縫い方」) are two trapazoidal sleeve covers of a simple, undyed fabric (I would need to look to see if they were silk or hemp, but it looks like a simple white muslin would work). They are attached by a long, flat strip of fabric that would appear to go behind the user. They do not appear to be so snug--the main purpose appears to be to keep your sleeves out of the way while working.

Sleeve covers, going over the Kosode sleeves? I'm referring to an undersleeve that would appear to resemble tekko from the elbow down, but extend up to, perhaps slightly beyond, the shoulder.

The ones you are describing: Do you have a picture? What is the diffference that you understand between them and tekko?

Ii,
I don't have a picture, though one is posted in the archives; posted by world antiques on 16 January 2014. The difference from tekko, as I wrote above, is that they are full length from hand to shoulder, whereas tekko only extend to the elbow.
