One argument. The Budget Cut is an asymmetric tee with one sleeve deliberately removed — not as a styling choice, but as a precise physical embodiment of what a budget cut actually is. Something functional. Something whole. Made incomplete by a decision made elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYou wear the evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eFULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eThe Concept\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEvery budget cut looks reasonable on paper. A line item, a percentage, a reallocation.

The intentionally unfinished armhole is clean, not raw. This is not distressed fashion. This is considered construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNumbered. First Run.
