Came across pinstripe pattern, which isn't as widely used as vertical stripes. I personally don't see any difference between the two, other than pinstripes are used mostly on shirts and suits, and then vertical-line refers to legwear and backgrounds.

It's called pinstripe because it is thinner, you should largely be seeing suits or business-like attire in the tag. But post #1199069 is a bit of an example of both pinstripe and virtual stripe.
post #1187633 would be pinstripe based on thinness.
post #1276184 would be vertical based on thickness.
Even with that description, a lot of vertical-striped legwear posts have thin lines yet aren't tagged pinstripe pattern. If there's going to be a distinction, I think there should be proper definitions on their wikis. If there's no need for the distinction, then a merger would be good.

It's only because the tag hasn't really been "gardened" much yet. There are a lot of tomoe_mami images it could apply to since it's the pattern on her magical girl thighhighs.

It wouldn't be good because pinstripes could also be horizontal or diagonal.
There are a lot of tags many users don't know about. I'm one of them, and I am nut for tagging.
But anyway, the pinstripe_pattern tag was suggested by me due to forum #30479 another tag called pinstripes and pinstriped_suit etc. were created and also underused. They were not implicated and this was at the time of organizing the attire taggroup. It also wasn't clear what was.
It is not a matter of urgency when it comes to pattern tags, since there are many images with detailed clothing, people just tag the basics of what they see and what tags they currently know.
