The Yoke Is On You

The yoke is panel of cloth and stitching which runs across the shoulder region as a supporting structure for your collar.

It provides more solidity to the garment, so it does will not lose its shape after a couple of washes as quickly as cheaper options.

The stronger the yoke, the more life in the collar. Budget polo shirts may forgo this detail but that will be reflected in a saving on price.
