from 2016 until I closed Traxler Printing in 2020, the "make america kind again" shirt became our customers fan favorite. outselling any other retail shirt I released. now it's back & needed more than ever.

in addition to solid colors, I have released a cotton candy tie-dye. a kind and lasting message on beautifully dyed cotton garments.
