I'm looking for a way to describe striped cloth — that is, with regular stripes all over, or like the stripes on the flag of the USA.

I'm well aware of the stripe on a toga, angusticlavus, etc. But is it appropriate to use clavus in the general sense, or is there a better word? I have considered striatum, but am not sure that I'm exactly on the right track. Or am I missing something obvious?

  Yes; I'll probably have to settle for varius, or something similar, though it seems to mean any sort of variation, not just 'striped'. I put forward striatus, meaning 'fluted' as on architectural columns, but this also doesn't really convey the meaning, either. Maybe I'll just have to rely on context.

My dictionary offers four options for "striped":

• Virgatus "striped" (has been used for striped clothing, at least in
  poetry and post-classically)




• Virgulatus "striped" (seems to be very similar to virgatus but less
  frequent)

Both of these are from virga "twig", which was also used to mean "stripe" in clothing (II C).

• Ostreatus (striped or ridged like an oyster shell: doesn't seem to have been used to describe a pattern in clothing)




• Striatus (more like furrowed, from stria "furrow": doesn't seem to have been used for clothing)

toga alba, nigrore transmente a white toga woven across with black.

I had misremembered 'trames;' I thought it meant a furrow. And perhaps that would be a better metaphor:

toga candida et nigra sulcatim. A toga, furrowed black and white.
