New to rewrites, I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong.

    Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to rewrites. I've managed to cut down urls to more seo friendly ones with the following (domain.com/city_name)
    
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^cleveland$ index.php?category_id=1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^pittsburgh$ index.php?category_id=2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^youngstown$ index.php?category_id=3&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^rustyoriginals$ index.php?category_id=4&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^sale$ index.php?sale=1
    Code (markup):
    Now my problem lies here, I'm trying to go a bit deeper (keep in mind the above will never change because these are the only categories there will ever be). I want to switch to domain.com/city_name/shirt_name; however, to view a shirt I need to route through a page called shirt.php where it accepts variables such as shirt_id=.

    Can anyone please point me in the right direction? I've read a few articles and I'm not finding any examples or theory which could help me.

    Thanks!
