Dressed for the displacement

Clothing for the last generation of knowledge workers

AI is automating $23 trillion in white-collar labor. We made shirts about it. Because gallows humor scales better than retraining programs.

TAM /tæm/
noun — finance
1. Total Addressable Market — the total revenue opportunity available for a product or service.
2. The $23 trillion in global white-collar labor currently being automated by artificial intelligence.
3. informal — the reason you're updating your résumé.
"Your job is the use case. The white-collar TAM is the sum of every knowledge worker's salary."
$23,000,000,000,000

Why this exists
Someone pitched us on "reducing headcount to a single API call" in a board meeting.

The deck was beautiful. The font was Inter.
The slide said "efficiency gains."

One too many overheard conversations in Tartine about the $23 trillion white-collar TAM.
