Shirt Distressing, Coffee in the Pool & Bobby the Fashion Designer

Bobby Lee has developed a serious shirt-distressing hobby: he soaks white shirts in instant coffee and then sands them with sandpaper to create a vintage, worn aesthetic. In practice, this involved pouring instant coffee into his swimming pool and submerging shirts — a move that freaked out his pool guy, who arrived to find the water blackened. Bobby clarifies it was instant, not ground, coffee so the filter is fine. He's been waiting to accumulate 12 shirts before taking them to a professional bulk-distressing service he learned about from a wardrobe department person on his current film project. Andrew compares the whole enterprise to Brewster's Millions — a kid given a mansion who immediately decides to put coffee in the pool — and suggests throwing the shirts in a dryer with rocks. Isa reports that the outside of the house currently looks like a chemistry experiment, with stained shirts drying in different colors all over the yard.
