This is our retro Kapalua, Hawaii logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

Dwight Baldwin settled West Maui in 1836 and his 1853 grant became Honolua Ranch, where David Fleming planted pineapple in the early 1900s and Baldwin Packers shipped it for decades. The resort rose on those plantation lands from the 1970s: the Bay Course in 1975, the first hotel in 1979, the Plantation Course in 1991.

Kapalua Bay’s two points reach out to embrace the sea, Honolua Bay next door is a marine conservation district and a famous surf break, and the Plantation Course opened the PGA Tour season for more than twenty-five years. Molokaʻi and Lānaʻi lie across the channel. Arms embracing the sea is the mark on this piece.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

All Kapalua Hawaiʻi Items

So Kapalua gathers a sheltered bay, a pineapple plantation, and a golf coast onto the northwest shoulder of West Maui. Our Kapalua designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the history. Arms embracing the sea — Kapalua, Maui.

What's with America's best beach? For years, when travel writers and the coastal scientists who rank such things went looking for the finest beach in the United States, they kept landing in the same place: Kapalua Bay, a small crescent of gold sand on the northwest corner of Maui, cradled between two black lava points that reach into the water like a pair of arms. Those points knock down the swell, so the cove stays calm and clear over a living reef — easy swimming and snorkeling in postcard-blue water, with the islands of Molokai and Lanai floating on the horizon. The bay is the reason the name fits: Kapalua means "arms embracing the sea." One look at the cove and you stop wondering why.

Why People Visit Kapalua

Visitors come to Kapalua for the bays — the calm, reef-fringed water that earns the best-beach lists — and stay for the layered scenery: a manicured golf coast, plantation uplands, and the channel islands on the horizon. It is quiet, walkable, and built to let West Maui's landscape take the lead. Equal parts beach, history, and big ocean views, Kapalua rewards anyone who wants the Hawaiian coast at its most embracing.
