Well, why not, for those who like such things? I don't wear pinstriped suits (or indeed any masculine-styled suit), so I have no business telling those who do how to design their pinstripes.

I predict that, by year's end, someone on the following list will be wearing a suit with his name comprising the pinstripes:

1. LeBron James
2. Kanye West
3. The Situation
4. Charlie Sheen
5. Donald Trump

In all seriousness, the personalized pinstripes is a welcome bit of subtlety in the world of despotic fashion statements. Mubarak's suits won't ever compete with Qaddafi's outfits, and he knows this is true. Instead, Mubarak decided to make a statement of his own.

I've been waiting for customized small-run cloth weaving for a long time. This is barely a start. Wait till they get Jacquard weaving for this sort of thing.

Vertical lettering = yuck. I would want this only if they can make the type run perpendicular to the ground.

Agree re the yuck of vertical lettering. I also want to know if it's possible to do lowercase as well as upper.

I suspect that lower case (and punctuation) would make the pinstripe look ragged. That might even be an issue with horizontal lettering, depending on the typeface.

Hmm....
