I noticed the same thing as you did, Manton, but interpreted it, like JamesT1, as a reflection. That is why I mentioned the raised stripe on the mohair/wool cloth I have. Mine is from that famous e-bay seller and here is the photo from one of his auctions: Image

The photo is not great, and will likely disappear, but it should give you an idea of what I was thinking - make the raised stripe a windowpane, thicker and further in hue and tint from the ground.

The white feels more like a reflection to me -- I think the stripe is thicker -- but can't really say for sure

The white shadow stripe would make the suit considerably less formal -- which would detract to some extent from the desired affect from my point of view

I would like to express my interest in this fabric project. Also, the idea of a raised windowpane is intriguing.

Another triumph, etutee -- in particular the examples of odd waistcoats are most gratifying.

The very first picture in the set shows the sportsman holding an old-fashioned squash racquet, from the days of hardball squash. Thank you for the great illustrations.
