Type of Shirt Yokes
It is the panel of fabric that is just behind the collar that goes over the tops of the shoulders.
A split yoke is split down the middle and sewn together in the middle.
When the shoulder yoke includes two separate pieces divided by a seam directly in the middle, it’s called a split yoke. Each fabric panel will be slightly different in size to ensure a perfect fit for these body irregularities.
A one-piece yoke is made from a single piece of fabric.
The classic yoke is a solid panel of fabric that goes across the back without a split or vertical seam in the centre.
