Interesting men's shirt picture

This picture is from the University of Heildelberg's codex for Pontus and Sidonia, this scene is entitled Potus trades his clothes with a Begger.

Cod. Pal. germ. 142
Pontus und Sidonia
Stuttgart (?) - Werkstatt Ludwig Henfflin
um 1475
Blatt:     90r (Pontus tauscht seine Kleider mit einem Bettler)

What I find interesting is the beggers shirt, which appears to have gathers at the center neck. Not a big bunch of them, just a few.

And a slightly shaped sleeve?

Interesting picture. It almost looks like they decolorized and slightly simplified the clothes worn by the higher class people. That neckline reminds me of what happens if you make the neckline too big then try to bring it in a bit to salvage a mistake.
