Cryptic as hell. Just like the band. Stark white tee with TOOL’s jagged, abstract logo cracked across the chest like ancient glyphs. Shadowy root-vein graphics creep around it. Art print on the back, because TOOL fans always deserve more layers of confusion. Perfect for:• Fans who overanalyse album art• Daydreaming in Fibonacci• Quiet rage, aesthetic editionDetails:• Officially licensed• 100% cotton• Double-sided graphics (because one existential crisis isn’t enough)• Clean white canvas, messy mindCare Instructions:Wash inside out.
