Horizontal stripes

Posted under Tags

Well, this topic came to my mind that nearly nobody is using this tag.
I wonder why, though, since vertical stripes are well populated here. For example horizontal-striped_legwear has nearly no posts, while vertical-striped_legwear has quite a lot. Since I'm the one who tagged most (maybe all) with horizontal stripes, I wanted to ask if I should stop with that^^.

I think the reason horizontal-striped_legwear is rarely used, is because the vast majority of striped_legwear is horizontally striped. Usually when clothes are striped, it's horizontally; vertical stripes are the exception so they're tagged separately.

Well, if so then why isn't horizontal-striped legwear aliased to striped legwear? I think that if the alias does not exist, then we should tag those images with the horizontal striped tag. Otherwise, there would be something missing.

Separate horizontal-striped tags may be useful as a separate tag in posts where other types of stripes (vertical or diagonal) are also present. Not really worth populating otherwise, though.
