The Pearl Harbor baby bodysuit, for the harbor the nation remembers each December 7. Soft fine jersey with the Pearl Harbor vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This baby bodysuit carries the Pearl Harbor vintage retro mark in black, plain and unadorned: a name kept in remembrance, made to order, offered without slogans or scenes for those who visit, who served, or who remember.

Unisex infant bodysuit made from soft, breathable fine jersey with a light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) weight. Ribbed binding and side seams add durability, and the secure snap crotch makes changes easy. Solid colors are 100% combed ringspun cotton; heather shades include a cotton–polyester blend.

Puʻuloa, the Y-shaped natural lagoon on the south coast of Oʻahu, was used by Hawaiians for centuries and developed as a naval base from the early 1900s, one of the finest deep-water harbors in the Pacific. On December 7, 1941, 353 aircraft from six Japanese carriers attacked the Pacific Fleet in two waves; about 2,403 people were killed, 1,177 of them aboard the USS Arizona, and the United States entered the Second World War.

The USS Arizona Memorial, dedicated in 1962, spans the sunken hull without touching it, and the Pearl Harbor National Memorial honors those lost that morning. This piece carries the name in remembrance; it is not a celebration.

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?

Change came with contact. After Captain Cook reached the islands in 1778, foreign visitors learned the worth of the pearls the Hawaiians had set aside, and Kamehameha — who drew the islands together into one kingdom by 1795 — claimed the oyster beds as his own. Dredging and silt from the 1840s onward smothered the beds, and by about 1901 the pearl oysters of Wai Momi were effectively gone. The harbor's modern course was set by treaty: the Kingdom granted the United States use of the inlet under the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875, and exclusive use as a coaling and repair station in 1887, beginning the long naval era that would carry the place's name around the world.

Our Pearl Harbor design wears the hibiscus, Hawaiʻi's flower, beneath the words “Hawaiian Kingdom — Est. 1795,” marking the year Kamehameha's victory on Oʻahu drew the islands into one realm. Rendered in clean black and white, like an old travel decal or crate label, it is a heritage mark — a nod to the islands' own story and to the deep Hawaiian identity of Puʻuloa, the waters of pearl. It is worn for the place and its people, not for any single chapter of its past.
