Pin stripes
It is categorized very neatly by the type of line that runs across the fabric, the direction it runs, its thickness and the distance between the stripes. A pinstripe is extremely thin, only around 1/30th of an inch in width, giving the impression of a pin being repeatedly used to mark the surface of the fabric. One single warp yarn is used to create the continuous stripe pattern, with the distance between stripes being as little as 1/10th of an inch all the way up to a whole inch.
