In the first episode of season three of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David is back at it again with his social awkwardness and iconic brooding humor. Titled "Chet's Shirt," the episode follows a series of humorous mishaps that happen throughout Larry's day, all of which result in him trying to find a very specific shirt.

The episode begins with Larry and his wife Cheryl out to dinner with their friends, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen. During dinner, their friend Chet comes in wearing a shirt that Larry can't stop gushing over. He loves it so much that he decides to ask Chet where he got it from. To his disappointment, Chet reveals that the shirt was custom-made and there aren't any duplicates. Nonetheless, Larry is determined to have that shirt and goes to great lengths to get it for himself.

Throughout the day, Larry finds himself in various situations that require him to go to different stores in order to find the exact materials needed to recreate Chet's shirt. His journey takes him to a dry cleaner, a department store, a clothing factory and even a screening of The Producers, all of which result in hilarious misunderstandings and social blunders that only Larry David could manage to make.

One of the highlights of the episode is when Larry visits the clothing factory and is forced to navigate the complex machinery. His attempts to operate the equipment are comically awkward and result in his shirt becoming attached to the machinery - marking one of the funniest scenes in the episode.

Another standout moment takes place when Larry and his friend Jeff (played by Jeff Garlin) attend a movie screening. While the film is being shown, Larry becomes so consumed by thoughts of Chet's shirt that he becomes oblivious to the fact that he's loudly talking about it throughout the entire film, causing frustration and annoyance to the nearby viewers.

The comedic situations in "Chet's Shirt" all come to a head when Larry finally purchases all the necessary materials to recreate the shirt. But just when it seems like he's achieved his goal, he realizes that he's made a terrible mistake - he's purchased a white collar and blue shirt instead of the other way around, causing him to give up his dream of owning Chet's shirt altogether.

Despite his ultimate failure, the episode ends on a light note with Larry and Cheryl sharing a laugh over his attempts to replicate the shirt. "Chet's Shirt" is a prime example of Curb Your Enthusiasm's signature brand of humor, depicting the ridiculous and awkward situations that only Larry David could find himself in.
