Looks like a knit polo, doesn't it?
SURPRISE
It is woven.
Those sneaky 1930s people.
I use these shirts for work - quilting cotton (Sew Classic from Joann) that is cheap and lasts well for about 2-3 years of constant washing and wearing and assault from glitter and cardboard boxes and so on.
I added width to the bottom of the yoke by splitting the yoke on either side of the center and adding a wedge. Since I did not have enough black fabric left over to recut the yoke (or collar, to which I added a little bit) I just stuck strips of fabric in there.
The added width makes the sleeves fit better (already had to make them quite a bit bigger around) and there is less pulling across the back.
I have two black ones and one white one. The other white one was finished before I figured out the yoke problem even existed so it will just go for scraps.
