I believe the notion of 'bâton' implies fairly broad stripes of equal size; so your idea of Bengal stripes is almost certainly along the right lines; but I suspect for a dress shirt, the slightly finer 'dress stripes' might be more applicable.

This one definitely looks like a Bengal stripe:

But the majority of other images I found using a Google image serahc were more like this:

Well, of all the examples on the first 2 pages of Google image results, that was the ONLY one that looked like 'Bengal', so I wouldn't let that influence you unduly. As for the second one, and the vast majority of other ones, they aren't as fine as what I would call 'pin-stripe'; so 'dress stripe' does it for me OK.


I think the truth is that maybe FR doesn't differentiate as much between the different thicknesses of stripes (dress, Bengal, candy, etc.) as EN does — I think what is important about 'bâton' is simply that the stripes are of equal width, unlike some of the other versions where you clearly have one thin and one thick stripe (etc.)
