Looking back to some posts in July there was talk about being able to make a saddle shoulder. Is this available yet - and if so how do you make it?

Thank you

I think what you are remembering is something that came out with the Men's Essential Collection. The men's dress shirts in that collection have a saddle shoulder (back yoke that extends over the shoulder to the front).

I don't believe that is available anywhere else.

A true saddle shoulder or saddle sleeve is similar to a raglan where the cap of the sleeve extends along the shoulder to the neckline in an even width strip (unlike the raglan which tapers from the armhole notches to neck). It gives an epaulette effect.

Dress Shop does not have a saddle shoulder.

This men's shirt yoke was initially called a saddle yoke in testing but on request was renamed to a Classic Yoke for the actual release.

The saddle shoulder also known as the classic yoke was released with the mens wear package. Instructions are included in the Help File and activated with the collection.

I have just purchased and played with MPD and guess what, I now have the saddle shoulder. I imported my favourite crew neck t from Dress Shop and using the 'options' button in MPD I chose 'Yokes" and the 'classic' type. Heh presto a saddle shoulder and I didn't have to purchase this 'new' design as I had imported it from Dress Shop.

Love the MPD - keep up the good work.
