To Yoke or Not to Yoke

This is the question I have for you. Pictured is my first attempt at a bowling shirt for my husband. I made up the pattern from his t-shirt pattern, so the shirt has no yoke. I know what the purpose of the yoke is (to give a better fit in the shoulders and more room around the middle), but if the shirt fits without a yoke, is it still better to have one or not? My previous thought was that a yoke made for a dressier shirt and no yoke was a more casual look.
I would not question this except it seems that all of the professional shirts we have bought him over the years have a yoke regardless of how casual or dressy the shirt may be. I guess I will let the wearer decided. After wearing his new shirt, my husband can tell me if he likes the yoke in his boughten shirt or the lack of a yoke in the shirt I made.

Success at Last

I finally did it. I made this shirt without any major hang ups. It is good fabric. It cut out well. The fusible interfacing went on without a hassle. It sewed up nicely. I did not have to argue with the buttonholes much, and best of all, it does not require much ironing after washing. Admittedly, I do miss not learning something from this project, but sometimes it is nice to just have everything fall into place. There will be plenty of learning opportunities in the future. (Just a side note, I really like this fabric. I bought 10 yards of it at Wal-mart for $2.00/yd.)

The Shirt on the Irregular Rack

Take a look at this shirt. Can you see the problem? I made this shirt for me. I had put several hours into its construction, only to find my cutting error as I started to sew it together. Boy, do I feel stupid. I thought about not finishing the shirt, salvaging the fabric for another project, but could not come up with another project for the fabric. I finally decided to just finish the shirt for me and hope that the fatal flaw would not be too noticeable. So, I am asking you, "Why would this shirt be on the irregular rack?" Each time I sew a project, I learn or relearn something, which make even the problems worthwhile.
