Proper term for wide pinstripes on a shirt

[mamasboy]

What is the proper term for shirts with really wide pinstripes. I can't seem to find any.


YES! THAT IS THE PROPER TERM! BENGAL STRIPES! THANKS

If they're wide, they're not pinstripes. Bengal stripes, maybe?

Unless he means the stripes are narrow but are spaced far apart. It's kinda hard to tell what he means.

Butcher stripes are wider than bengal stripes, which I think are 8-16/inch.

Why worry? Even if you can find a consensus here, it is very likely that you will not be able to communicate by using the term given the doubts.

Chalk stripe comes in somewhere doesn't it?
