Medium-heavy fleece gives this unisex crewneck sweatshirt its warmth and durability. The classic fit has a ribbed collar, cuffs & waistband, double-needle seams, and a tear-away label, with the design DTG-printed. Standard 8.0 oz 50% cotton/50% polyester; Heather Sport 60/40. Note: White may appear off-white; Orange hue may vary.

Kapaʻa, Hawaiian for solid, anchors Kauaʻi’s east shore, the Royal Coconut Coast, named for the groves once reserved for the aliʻi. Wailua, just south, was the first ancient capital of Kauaʻi, with seven heiau across the district and the only navigable river in Hawaiʻi. The modern town grew from James Makee’s Kealia sugar mill of 1877, backed by King Kalākaua.

The wooden plantation-era storefronts of Old Kapaʻa Town were built by workers who left the fields to open businesses, shops on the first floor and families on the second, and the Sleeping Giant ridge lies behind. The town the plantation workers built 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.

More From Kapaʻa Hawaiʻi

All Kapaʻa Hawaiʻi Items

Today Kapaʻa is the active hub of the Coconut Coast. The Ke Ala Hele Makalae, an eight-mile paved coastal path, runs the shoreline for walkers and cyclists; kayaks put in on the Wailua River toward the Fern Grotto; ʻOpaekaʻa Falls and Wailua Falls drop through the green interior; and Kealia Beach, just to the north, draws the bodysurfers. Lydgate Beach Park to the south keeps a protected pool for families, and the Kauai Coconut Festival each fall gathers the whole coast. It is Kauai at its most lived-in — a town with a beach, a bike path, and a long memory.

Just south lies Wailua, the first ancient capital of Kauai under the aliʻi, the Hawaiian high chiefs. Fed by the rain of Mount Waiʻaleʻale — some four hundred and fifty inches a year, among the highest on the planet — the Wailua River runs to the sea as Hawaii's only navigable river, and the valley it waters was the sacred seat of Kauai royalty. Seven heiau, the temples of old Hawaii, arc across the Wailua–Kapaʻa landscape; they remain deeply sacred to Native Hawaiians today, and we honor them as living heritage rather than scenery.

Why People Visit Kapaa

Kapaʻa rewards travelers who want the real, working Kauai rather than a resort bubble — a town with a beach and a bike path, the Sleeping Giant on the ridge, and the sacred green valley of Wailua a few minutes south. People come for the coastal path and the river, for the plantation-era main street, and for an easygoing east-shore day where Kauai's deep history and everyday island life sit side by side.
