That is what happens in fact, as the mesh is stretched, thus stretching the 
map.

There are breaks anyway along the seams (which you don't really see in this 
particular image). In accordance with RL, I provided vertical seams along 
the front and back, and along the inner and outer sides, thus making four 
panels, that were then rotated and oriented as well as possible according to 
the stripe pattern. Inserts and darts would be difficult to simulate/model I 
believe.

Oh God! Dear old Rupert! Long time no see!!
His trousers would also show stretching, but maybe less visible? I shall 
experiment.
