This is our retro Honolulu, Hawaii logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

Honolulu takes its name from the sheltered harbor between the Koʻolau Range and the sea. Kamehameha III moved the capital of the Kingdom here from Lahaina in 1845, the city and county were organized in 1907, and the capital of the State of Hawaiʻi has been here since statehood in 1959.

The 1926 Aloha Tower marks the harbor, Chinatown keeps the port’s immigrant history, Waikīkī curves east to the tuff cone of Diamond Head, Lēʻahi, and the trade winds cross the whole of it. The Gathering Place’s great Pacific city is the mark on this piece.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

All Honolulu Hawaiʻi Items

That kingdom did not survive the century. In 1893 the Hawaiian Kingdom was overthrown by a group of businessmen backed by U.S. forces; the monarchy was ended, and in 1898 the islands were annexed by the United States, becoming a territory in 1900. It is a hard and contested history, and Honolulu does not hide it — ʻIolani Palace stands restored at the center of downtown precisely as a place to remember the kingdom that was. The Hawaiian identity the monarchy embodied did not disappear; it remains, to this day, the deep current beneath the modern city.

The harbor made Honolulu a Pacific crossroads. After Western contact in the 1790s, ships crowded the anchorage — traders, then whalers, then missionaries — and the little port grew into the busiest in the islands. As the Hawaiian Kingdom consolidated, Honolulu became its capital, and by the later nineteenth century the monarchy was seated downtown at ʻIolani Palace, the only royal palace on American soil. For a few decades the city was the working capital of an independent Pacific kingdom, with a king or queen in residence and the world's ships at its docks.

Why People Visit Honolulu

Honolulu offers the full range of Hawaiʻi in one place — royal and wartime history, world-class museums, and a famous shoreline, all in a walkable, welcoming capital city. Visitors come for Diamond Head, the beaches, and the heritage downtown, and stay for the food, the culture, and the easy access to the rest of Oʻahu. From the palace to the crater to the harbor, it rewards both a quick visit and a long stay. It is historic, cosmopolitan, and unmistakably Hawaiian.
