Dazai and the striped shirt

Dazai always wears a white shirt with black stripes under his vest and his coat in the manga. And in other arts with him in casual clothes, he is often seen wearing one too. I just realized that it might have been done on purpose, because it reminds me of an interesting comment from Harukawa35 in “Bungo Stray Dogs Rakugaki” when drawing Odasaku: “Actually Asagiri-sensei was the one who wanted Odasaku in a black shirt with white stripes. And I think both of us came up with this look without realizing, but as a result, it turned out to be a design that Dazai-san seemed to have imitated later on.”
