Jason, thanks for that!!
I'm wondering if the references I keep seeing to 'dot matrix' are actually referring to a moire pattern, which is a far easier thing to instantly detect. Mine is without any moire and no pinkish hue appears on either suit coat, so I'm starting to feel a bit less edgy.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
