The Kapalua tank, for the town that means arms embracing the sea. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Kapalua vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Kapalua piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

Lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton jersey in a retail fit that runs true to size for adults. Side-seam construction and self-fabric binding keep the shape, and the label is tear-away. Solid colors are 100% cotton, while select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

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.

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. You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships. Any current shipping offer is shown in the bar at the top of every page and applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.

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.

What's the return policy?

Made-to-order items can't be returned or exchanged for size or color, so please use the size chart and photos before ordering. If anything arrives defective, misprinted or damaged, send a photo and your order number within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund you.

How do I care for my item?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.

Who makes this?

Merlin Classics is a small Connecticut brand making original retro designs for the towns people love. Every piece is printed, embroidered or engraved to order in the USA, and the business supports hunger relief in the communities our collections celebrate.

The golf is part of why the name traveled. A second championship course, the Plantation Course, opened in 1991 on the high slopes with the ocean spread out below, and for more than twenty-five years it opened the professional golf season each January — putting Kapalua on television screens worldwide every New Year. The pineapple era, meanwhile, wound down: after nearly a century, the last Maui Pineapple operations closed in 2009, and the fields went quiet. What is left is the layered place you visit now — a resort coast with a plantation underneath it, and a reef-blue bay that was the draw all along.

Our Kapalua logo carries the Hawaiian hibiscus above "Hawaiian Kingdom — Est. 1795," the shared retro emblem of our Hawaii towns; the hibiscus stands for the islands themselves, and 1795 marks the year Kamehameha I brought most of the Hawaiian Islands together into a single kingdom. Rendered in worn black-and-white, like a vintage travel decal or a fruit-crate label, it ties Kapalua to every other Hawaii place we make. What makes this one Kapalua is the story behind the mark — the embracing bay, the pineapple plantation, and the golf coast that grew up where the fields once ran.

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.
