Analysis, part 7d - Division Stripes, Curvature

The actual contour of the lower division stripe was not horizontal! It curved upward slightly from the outer chest to the shoulder seam/outer sleeve seam to avoid "drooping" like a horizontal stripe would.

When the wearer's arm was extended to the side, the division stripe's curvature was rather obvious:

However, when standing or walking normally (with one's arms hanging at one's sides), the effect of the upward curve was that the lower portion of the division stripe appeared to be horizontal!

Of course, the results varied; note below how Archer's division stripes appeared horizontal, as did the extra's on screen right, while the extra's on screen left most certainly did not:

Unfortunately, Trip's was often lacking in this regard, too ...

The division stripe was the same basic shape and construction on both the front and the back:

ENT, 2x20 "Horizon"
ENT, 3x18 "Azati Prime"
ENT, 4x2 "Storm Front (part 2)"


We're not sure how indicative this is of a standard (or lack thereof), but the lower back division stripe corners on "Lynsioux's" screen-used ENT jumpsuit were approximately 3 ¾" from the center back.
