The Haleakalā premium crewneck, for the mountain that is the House of the Sun. A 9.9 oz cotton-rich sweatshirt with a smooth face and the Haleakalā vintage retro logo on the chest in black.

This is the softer, heavier of our two Haleakalā crewnecks, the one that becomes the three-days-a-week sweatshirt from October on. Smooth face, rich print, no scratchy tag. If you want the sweatshirt that feels like a favorite on day one, this is it; order now for cold weather and holiday giving.

Built for comfort and built to last: a unisex sweatshirt in a medium-heavy 9.9 oz fabric blended from 80% cotton and 20% polyester. The true-to-size fit works for everyone, the smooth cotton-rich surface carries our retro artwork with rich detail, and ribbed-knit cuffs and collar, reinforced side seams, and twill neck tape keep the shape crisp wash after wash. No scratchy tag thanks to the tear-away label. Machine washable and ethically printed on demand.

Haleakalā, the House of the Sun, is the dormant shield volcano that forms more than three-quarters of Maui, rising from the sea to 10,023 feet at Puʻu ʻUlaʻula. Native Hawaiians have used the summit for at least a thousand years and hold it sacred as the Wao Akua, the place of the gods, where the demigod Māui snared the sun; the last eruption came between 1480 and 1600.

Hawaiʻi National Park took in the mountain on August 1, 1916, and Haleakalā became its own national park in 1961. The seven-mile summit depression, carved by erosion where two valleys met, is 2,600 feet deep, and the silversword grows nowhere else on Earth. Above the clouds 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.

The measures of the place are hard to believe. The road climbs from sea level to the 10,023-foot summit at Puʻu ʻUlaʻula in just 38 miles — one of the steepest such ascents on Earth. At the top, the famous “crater” opens seven miles long, two miles wide, and some 2,600 feet deep — honestly speaking not a volcanic crater at all, but a vast erosional valley where two great watersheds wore through and met. It is cold up there; now and then, it even snows in Hawaiʻi. The first recorded non-Hawaiian ascent came in 1828, and travelers have been making the climb ever since.

On August 1, 1916, Haleakalā was set aside as part of Hawaiʻi National Park, and the modern era of the mountain began: Civilian Conservation Corps crews built the great crater trails in the 1930s — Keoneheʻeheʻe, the Sliding Sands, and Halemauʻu switchbacking down the wall — and on July 1, 1961, Haleakalā became a national park in its own right. The crater district joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the park was named an International Biosphere Reserve in 1980, and its summit sky remains one of the darkest and clearest anywhere — which is why the stargazing is famous and the sunrise is a pilgrimage.

Why People Visit Haleakalā

Haleakalā offers a different Hawaiʻi — above the clouds, where the air is thin, the silence carries, and the sun rises over an ocean of mist at six in the morning. Travelers come for the sunrise at Puʻu ʻUlaʻula, the silversword on the upper slopes, the long hike down into the crater on Sliding Sands, the bamboo-forest walk to Waimoku Falls at Kīpahulu, the Pools of ʻOheʻo cascading down to the sea, and the dark-sky stargazing from the summit at night. It is contemplative, otherworldly, and unforgettable — a sacred mountain that has been holding sky over east Hawaiʻi for as long as anyone has counted.
