The Honolulu fleece, for the town that is where Diamond Head watches over Waikīkī. An authentic Columbia MTR fleece, full-zip, with the Honolulu vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in white thread.

This is the top of the Honolulu range: a real Columbia blank, embroidered to order, warm, light and fast-drying. It is the jacket for early mornings, the sideline and the drive home, and the Honolulu gift that gets opened and put on immediately. Made to order, so allow the embroidery time before the holidays.

Our premium embroidered fleece jacket starts with an authentic Columbia blank in soft, warm MTR fleece and adds our vintage-retro logo, cleanly embroidered on the chest to order. The warm, lightweight full-zip is cut from MTR-style filament fleece (~7.4 oz/yd²) in an athletic, easy-layering fit with a stand collar and clean lines; it insulates on cool days, dries fast, and moves comfortably for walks, errands, travel, or campfire nights. Care: machine wash cold (gentle), dry flat, no bleach, no iron on decoration, no dry clean. Embroidery uses thread rather than ink, so slight differences from the digital product image are normal — full details and care instructions are in the page footer Embroidery note.

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.

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.

What's with Diamond Head? Rising at the edge of the south shore is a worn volcanic crater the whole world recognizes — Diamond Head. Hawaiians named it Lēʻahi, often read as "brow of the tuna" for the ridgeline's shape, but nineteenth-century British sailors thought the calcite crystals glinting on its slopes were diamonds, and the English name stuck. No diamonds, of course — but climb the old military trail to the rim and the payoff is real: the city, the reef, and the long curve of the shoreline laid out far below. It is the most familiar profile in all of Hawaiʻi, and the unmistakable backdrop to Honolulu.

Our Honolulu logo carries the same emblem every Merlin Classics Hawaiʻi place wears — the hibiscus, above "Hawaiian Kingdom · Est. 1795," the year of unification under Kamehameha, printed in a worn, hand-pressed black and white. The hibiscus is the islands' mark, the through-line that ties Honolulu to every other Hawaiʻi place we make — a nod to the aloha that defines them. What makes this one Honolulu is everything around it: the harbor, the capital downtown, and Diamond Head standing over the shore.

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.
