Split Yoke
Description
A Split Yoke is a two-piece yoke design where the fabric is cut into two symmetrical pieces and sewn together with a center seam. This construction provides greater flexibility and a contoured fit across the shoulders, making it a popular choice for dress shirts and tailored garments. The fabric pieces are often cut on the bias (diagonal grain) to allow better stretch and movement, especially in striped or plaid patterns.
