Pinstripes

Pin stripes are a pattern of very thin stripes running in parallel found in cloth. The pin striped suit has become associated with conservative businesswear although many designers now produce fashionable sharp pin stripes for younger more fashion-conscious suitwearers.

Although found mostly in men's suits, any type of fabric can be pin striped. The Chicago Cubs baseball team uniforms have had pin stripes since 1907 and they are recognized as the first major league baseball team to incorporate pin striping into a uniform.. Many other Major League Baseball teams like the Montreal Expos and New York Yankees later adopted pin stripes on their own uniforms.
