Cross Currents: Seamless Clothing

It would seem there is an interesting nexus in Islamic tradition and in what our very own Moses was up to.

From a web page about participating the the Hajj: It is Haram (prohibited) for men to wear sewn or stitched clothes in Ihraam (state of participating in the Hajj).

What did Moses wear while consecrating the tabernacle? According to Rav Kahana in Taanis 11b he wore a white frock that does not have a hem or a seam. The note states this means it was woven from a single thread.

I wonder what the significance of these two similarities is?
