The Lānaʻi cap, for the island that is the Pineapple Isle. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Lānaʻi vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Lānaʻi piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

This unisex dad cap is made from breathable cotton in a low-profile, unstructured 6-panel shape with a Permacurv visor. A self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle adjusts the fit, and a matching undervisor and four-row visor stitching add durability. The embroidered finish is classic and vintage-inspired. All colors 100% cotton; camo is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Because embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process — see our Embroidery footer for full details.

Lānaʻi, the smallest publicly accessible inhabited Hawaiian island, had an ancient village at Kaunolū, a Mormon colony and cattle ranching in the 1850s and a brief try at sugar at Keōmoku. In 1922 James Dole bought most of the island for $1.1 million, laid out Lānaʻi City around Cook-pine-shaded Dole Park, and built the largest pineapple plantation on Earth.

The plantation cottages and the 1923 Hotel Lanai still stand, Kaumalapaʻu Harbor shipped the fruit, pineapple ended around 1992, and the red-rock badlands of Keahiakawelo and the calm preserve of Hulopoʻe Bay bracket the island. The world’s quietest island 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.

All Lānaʻi Hawaiʻi Items

A plantation that size needed a town, and from 1923 Dole laid out Lānaʻi City — a planned company town of tidy cottages on a cool central plateau, gathered around the green rectangle of Dole Park. Workers came from the Philippines, Japan, China, Korea, Portugal, and Puerto Rico, and out of that mix grew the close, multicultural community that still defines the island. The fruit rolled down to Kaumalapaʻu Harbor, built in the 1920s, and shipped to the Honolulu canneries. Castle & Cooke took over in 1961, but cheaper pineapple from overseas slowly undercut the island; the last big harvest came in 1992, and the fields went quiet.

What the plantation left behind is its own kind of beauty. Around the town and along the high spine of the island stand thousands of Cook pines, planted by the New Zealand naturalist and ranch manager George Munro to comb moisture from the fog and feed the island's springs. His name lives on in the Munro Trail, the narrow ridge road that climbs through the pines to Lānaʻihale, at 3,370 feet the island's high point, with the neighbor islands laid out in every direction. From there the land falls away to the red badlands of Keahiakawelo and the empty roads that make Lānaʻi feel like the island the world forgot.

Why People Visit Lānaʻi

Lānaʻi offers the rarest thing in Hawaiʻi: an island that still feels empty. It pairs a deep heritage — ancient fishing villages, a storied red-rock landscape, and the golden plantation past — with near-solitary beaches, pine-shaded uplands, and a single small town. It is quiet, scenic, and unhurried, made for travelers who want an island to themselves.
