I’ve heard that some rules are specifically supposed to only apply to Jews,¹ and I think most Christians have heard that at some point in their lives, but I don’t think most of them remember having heard that, and very few to know that not wearing clothing of two different kinds of fibre at the same time is one such rules.
I remember Feynman’s WTF reaction in Surely You’re Joking to learning that Jews are not allowed to operate electric switches on Saturdays but they are allowed to pay someone else to do that.
There are different Jewish doctrinal positions on whether shabbos goyim—that is, non-Jews hired to perform tasks on Saturdays that Jews are not permitted to perform—are permissible.

And paying them on Saturday is always bad.
