Hello. I noticed a difference between the construction of mens' shirts and pajama tops. The yoke of a man's shirt extends the width of the shoulders. It connects the back panel, the front panels, and the sleves. A man's pajama top has the back panel extending to the seam across the shoulders, sewn to the front panels, and the sleeves. Then there is an oval panel sewn to the back panel, extending on both sides of the center line half way to the sleeves, and sewn to the seam that connects the back and the front panels. Why is a pajama top constructed this way?
