I'm amused and perplexed at your choice of the word "cobble" there

  I’m not a native speaker so this was entirely unintentional, but now that you point it out I see the pun. Thank you.

    I've never met a non-native speaker who used the word "cobble", and successfully too. Props to you!

      Why I missed that is not the meaning of the phrase "to cobble something together", but its root in "cobbler", which is - at least for me - something I rarely use.

        Also Cockneys in old London would say cobblers if you were talking out of your hat. Also balls to refer to the pawnbrokers on account of their three ball shop signs.

  Mind you -- my amusement was "odd looking shirt". It made me imagine what that would actually look like.
