The Honolulu hoodie, for the town that is where Diamond Head watches over Waikīkī. A medium-heavy cotton pullover with the Honolulu vintage retro logo across the chest in white, made to be worn from the first cold morning to the last.

If you are buying one Honolulu piece, this is the one that gets worn most: warm enough for the sideline, the dock and the drive home, and the hoodie that gets borrowed and never returned. It is the gift for the one who moved away from Honolulu, and the one that arrives in time for the holidays if you order now.

Medium-heavy fleece gives this unisex hoodie its warmth and durability. It has a regular fit that runs true to size for adults, a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband, double-needle stitching at key seams, and a tear-away label. Fabric: 80% combed ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester, with heather shades in cotton–poly blends.

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.

The twentieth century made Honolulu strategic as well as central. Pearl Harbor, west of downtown, grew into a major naval base, and on December 7, 1941 the attack there brought the United States into World War II — a day of great loss that is remembered now at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. After the war the city boomed, and in 1959 Hawaiʻi became the fiftieth state, with Honolulu as its capital. Through territory, war, and statehood, the harbor city remained the islands' unquestioned center of government, trade, and life.

Today Honolulu is the capital and beating heart of Hawaiʻi — a real city on a famous shore, where ʻIolani Palace and the Capitol district sit a short drive from the beaches, and Diamond Head watches over it all. Its story runs from a Native Hawaiian harbor through a royal kingdom and a great Pacific port to the modern island capital it is now. Our Honolulu designs gather that identity into wearable form — the hibiscus-and-1795 emblem, the harbor, and the crater. Honolulu, Hawaiʻi: the sheltered bay beneath Diamond Head.

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.
