BRIEF INSIGHT
WEARING SHA'ATNEZ WITHOUT INTENT TO DERIVE BENEFIT
The Gemara derives from the verse, "Lo Silbash Sha'atnez," that the prohibition of Sha'atnez does not apply to a merchant who wears the garment merely for the purpose of displaying it to his customers. Rashi says that the merchant is not wearing the garment with the intent of deriving benefit from it, and therefore it is permitted to wear the garment even if it is Sha'atnez. The Tosfos Yeshanim asks that the Gemara is explaining the opinion of Rebbi Yehudah, and Rebbi Yehudah maintains that a prohibition applies even though there is no intent. Therefore, the Tosfos Yeshanim explains that the merchant is wearing the garment of Sha'atnez in such a way that he is not benefiting from the garment at all, and that is why it is permitted. However, if he would benefit from the garment in any way, it would be prohibited even if he has no intent to benefit from it.
QUICK HALACHAH
HOW TO SEW AND SELL GARMENTS OF SHA'ATNEZ
Tailors may sew a garment of Sha'atnez in the normal manner as long as they do not intend to benefit from the garment, such as to receive protection from rain and sun. Merchants may sell Sha'atnez garments in the normal manner, as long as they do not intend to benefit from the garment to protect them from the rain and sun. The Tzenu'im (people inclined to be stringent) drape the garment on a pole. Some opinions even allow one to wear a Sha'atnez garment without intent to benefit, such as wearing a garment for the purpose of avoiding custom duties, or wearing it for the purpose of checking the size. (Shulchan Aruch YD 301:6)
