@blinksan09 Thanks. Can I ask, “a pinstriped suit” is incorrect or just not common?

@blinksan09 Ok. I thought adding a D can make “pinstripe” an adjective. Thank you for clearing it up for me!

@studiousme Hmm, well considering that… it’s not common to use it as an adjective, so I’d say when in doubt stick with pinstripe. Pinstriped can be used to add more description to clothes, though it is informal, as well as people. He has a pinstriped mind can be used to describe someone with a narrow thinking.

@blinksan09 Good to know that this adjective is not commonly used. Thank you!
