Is this an officially licensed Tool product?

No, this is a fan-made tribute item inspired by the band’s visual identity. It is not produced or endorsed by the official Tool store or record label. Buyers should expect independent manufacturing quality rather than major-label merch standards.

How should I care for this graphic t-shirt?

Machine wash cold inside out to protect the print integrity. Tumble dry low or hang dry to prevent shrinking and fading of the colorful graphic elements. Avoid ironing directly over the printed area to maintain the sharpness of the image.
