The Molokaʻi cap, for the island that is the Friendly Isle. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Molokaʻi vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in white thread.

The cap is the easiest Molokaʻi 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.

Low-profile and unstructured, this 6-panel embroidered dad cap has a Permacurv visor, a self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, a matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. Breathable 100% cotton in every color except the camo variation, which is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. The classic embroidered finish is durable and vintage-inspired. Embroidery is thread, not ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal; full details are explained in our Embroidery footer.

Molokaʻi is the most Hawaiian of the islands, where ancient traditions remain everyday life and the community has long chosen to keep development and crowds away. Hālawa Valley is among the oldest settlements in Hawaiʻi, some sixty ancient rock-wall fishponds line the south shore, and the island is honored as the birthplace of hula at Kaʻana.

Kamehameha V kept a retreat at Kaunakakai and planted the Kapuaiwa Coconut Grove in the 1860s, Kaunakakai’s plantation-era Main Street still serves the island, and the north coast rises into the tallest sea cliffs in the world above the Kalaupapa Peninsula, where Father Damien served from 1873. Old Hawaiʻi beneath the cliffs 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.

All Molokaʻi Hawaiʻi Items

Each October that channel comes alive for the Molokaʻi Hoe, when outrigger canoes launch from the island's west end and paddle the treacherous Kaiwi Channel all the way to Oʻahu — a world-championship race that began in 1952 and keeps a seafaring tradition older than memory. The rest of the year the island simply goes on being itself: rural, unhurried, fiercely proud, the most Hawaiian place in Hawaiʻi. Our Molokaʻi designs gather that spirit into wearable form. Molokaʻi — the Friendly Isle, where old Hawaiʻi still lives beneath the tallest cliffs in the world.

The land matches the depth of the culture. Molokaʻi is the fifth-largest Hawaiian island, roughly thirty-eight miles long, set between Oʻahu and Maui. Its windward north coast rises into the tallest sea cliffs in the world — a wall of green plunging some three thousand six hundred feet and more straight to the Pacific, recorded in the Guinness book and sheltering deep, near-roadless valleys behind it. The dry west end runs the other way entirely, into the soft pale sand of Papohaku, one of Hawaiʻi's largest beaches, often empty for its full length. Lush to windward, dry to leeward, rural everywhere: this is the closest thing left to old Hawaiʻi.

Why People Visit Molokaʻi

Molokaʻi offers the rarest thing in Hawaiʻi: an island that is still genuinely itself. It pairs deep living culture — hula's birthplace, the fishponds, the homestead lands — with dramatic, near-empty coast and a pace the rest of the islands lost long ago. Quiet, rural, and proud, it is made for travelers who want the real Hawaiʻi and are willing to meet it on its own terms.
