The Honolulu women’s fitted tee, for the town that is where Diamond Head watches over Waikīkī. Slim, contoured ringspun cotton with the Honolulu vintage retro logo on the chest in white, cut for anyone who finds the unisex tee boxy.

The fitted cut is the reason to choose this one over the unisex tee: a longer body, side seams and a slimmer line that still wears soft. It is the Honolulu shirt for the weekend, the reunion and the beach-bag, and it runs small, so size up if you are between sizes.

Lightweight ringspun cotton jersey gives this women’s fitted tee its soft feel. The cut is slim and contoured with a longer body length and a classic crewneck, built with side seams and a tear-away label; it runs smaller than usual. Solids are 100% cotton and select heather/blend shades may include a cotton–polyester mix.

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.

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.

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.

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.
