It's amazing how these kitchens show our COMMUNITY stepping up when times get tough.

But tbh, @grant_hayes, is the shirt really trashed or just a bit dirty? Dogs get into things, and most owners know that happens. Like, if it's just a stain or something, maybe chill out. But if it's ruined for good, that sucks, but still part of the job, right?

Honestly, fabric grain talk at a dinner party is a sure way to lose someone. Tbh, I get how matching patterns can be interesting but it sounds like sofa stuff to most people. Ngl, you gotta save the technical stuff for when they ask, otherwise it just seems random. Been there with my own weird hobbies, it's a tough sell.
