The Hilo thank you cards, for the town that is the rainiest city in America. Thick-stock cards with the Hilo vintage retro logo on the front in black, blank inside, envelopes included.

For the note after the weekend visit, the wedding, the graduation or the holidays: thanks that says where it came from. Choose the size, the finish and the count, and keep a box in the drawer so the note goes out the same week.

Our retro logo design on premium thick 270gsm card stock makes these thank you cards feel smooth and substantial. Pick a matte, uncoated, or coated finish, one of two convenient sizes, and the count pack that fits your needs. Envelopes are included, so heartfelt messages are easy to send for any occasion. Cards are printed on the front and blank inside and on the rear.

Hilo sits on its bay on the windward coast of the Big Island, the seat of Hawaiʻi County since 1905, a long-settled Native Hawaiian community that grew into a sugar port through the 1800s. About 128 inches of rain fall on more than 270 days a year, the most of any city in the United States, and the result is a green world of waterfalls and gardens.

Rainbow Falls drops on the Wailuku River at the edge of town, Liliʻuokalani Gardens have been laid out in the Japanese style since 1917, and the early-1900s storefronts of Kamehameha Avenue face the open bayfront with Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa behind. The garden city of the windward shore 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.

Today Hilo is the bayfront cultural capital of Hawaiʻi Island — a rain-green town of waterfalls, gardens, and hula, looking out across its crescent bay to Mauna Kea. Its story runs from a Native Hawaiian homeland on the bay through a plantation port and the hard lessons of the sea to the warm, multicultural town it is now. Our Hilo designs gather that identity into wearable form — the hibiscus-and-1795 emblem, the bay, and the falls. Hilo, Hawaiʻi: rain, rainbows, and aloha.

About 126 inches of rain fall at Hilo in an average year, across more than 270 days, among the highest totals of any U.S. city.

Why People Visit Hilo

Hilo offers the most authentic, culturally rich side of Hawaiʻi Island — waterfalls, gardens, markets, and deep Hawaiian heritage, all in a relaxed bayfront town. Visitors come for the rainforest scenery and the easy access to volcanoes and coast, and stay for the unhurried, welcoming feel of a real town rather than a resort strip. From the morning rainbows at Waiānuenue to the gardens along the bay, it rewards a slow pace. It is green, genuine, and beautiful in every season on the bay.
