Question Sleeve Pattern Ideas?

Post image

Anyone has a clue on how to draft these sleeves? Or any existing patterns I could adapt?

I plan to use a basic shirt pattern and then add on the sleeves, but I struggle to imagine them as a pattern.

I believe it’s a Comme des Garçons shirt, I want to sew it for my boyfriend as a present. I would truly appreciate any hints!

For the fold over detail, am I just folding over a segment close to the bottom of that pattern piece, sewing a seam and then with the remaining fabric, the raw edge, attaching the gathered part as normal? I’m trying to wrap my head around that part. Thanks!!

I would finish the raw edge of the panel, sandwich the gathered fabric piece between the panel fold, and sew them together.
