I seldom ever go to thrift stores anymore because they now charge $5 for a used T-shirt.
But I needed knives that I could destroy so I could make a knife sharpening jig. Before finding any knives I found this for a dollar less than a T-shirt. I make pizza every week. This is going to make that 7% easier. Hopefully another project will go according to plan and this will make it 90% easier.
Anyway, I needed this. I was thinking I was going to have to make one but now I get to skip that.
The difference between a $20 shirt and a $40 shirt in most cases isn’t going to make a difference in the lifespan.
My shirts don’t last very long. Not because they’re cheap because I abuse them. They get covered in paint and caulk. They get destroyed by kitten claws. Spending the extra money on them just doesn’t make any sense. However, when it comes to pants, spending an extra $10 or $20 can make the difference between a pair that’ll last me 9 months vs 3 years.
