Size Guide
How to measure your shirt correctly?
Width: Lay the shirt flat on the ground (preferably a hard surface) and smooth the fabric out so that there are no wrinkles underneath or on top. Pull the fabric tight, but don’t stretch it. Place the measuring tape at the top of the seam where the sleeve attaches to the body of the shirt and measure across to the same point on the other side of the shirt. Don’t worry if you measure beyond the side seam on the shirt, just measure the shirt flat across.
Length: Lay the shirt flat on the ground with the back of the shirt facing up. Place the measuring tape at the seam where the collar band attaches to the yoke (the fabric that sits across the shoulders) and measure straight down the middle of the back of the shirt to the hem at its longest point.
Sleeve Length: Lay the shirt flat with the back facing up. Extend the right sleeve out to the side and smooth it out as much as possible. Start the tape measure at the middle of the yoke, just below the collar band and measure out to the seam where the yoke attaches to the sleeve. Place a finger on the measuring tape at the seam where the yoke attaches to the sleeve to keep it in place, and then pull the tape measure taut to the end edge of the cuff on the sleeve.

Official Yoi Pittsburghese Defection T Shirt Sweater
The faded black of the “Official Yoi Pittsburghese Defection T Shirt Sweater” (more sweater than shirt these days, truth be told) brought a wave of memories crashing over me like the 446 bus down Baum Boulevard. I hadn’t seen this relic in years, tucked away in the back of a drawer.
Suddenly, I was 22 again, navigating chipped-paint row houses in South Side, armed with a Yoi and a terrible sense of direction. This sweater, bought at some long-gone street fair, was practically a uniform for the city’s disaffected youth. It was a shield against the irony-poisoned gaze of outsiders, a badge of honor for those who understood the beauty in a crumbling brick wall and the poetry in a perfectly delivered “N’at.”
I remembered late-night conversations fueled by Iron City and pierogies, debates about the merits of chipped chopped ham, and the shared, unspoken understanding that Pittsburgh, for all its quirks, was home. The slightly crooked screen printing, the stretched-out neckline, they weren’t flaws, they were badges of authenticity. This wasn’t just a sweater; it was a time machine, transporting me back to a time when “yoi” was a verb and I was young enough to believe I could defect from anything.
