The Kauaʻi fleece, for the island that is the Garden Isle. An authentic Columbia MTR fleece, full-zip, with the Kauaʻi vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in white thread.

This is the top of the Kauaʻi 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 Kauaʻi gift that gets opened and put on immediately. Made to order, so allow the embroidery time before the holidays.

Custom embroidered to order on an authentic Columbia fleece jacket blank, this premium full-zip pairs Columbia’s soft, warm MTR fleece with our vintage-retro logo cleanly embroidered on the chest. The lightweight MTR-style filament fleece (~7.4 oz/yd²) has an athletic, easy-layering fit, delivers dependable insulation on cool days, dries fast, and moves comfortably for walks, errands, travel, or campfire nights. A stand collar and clean lines pair with everything. 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.

Kauaʻi is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands, about five million years old, its ridges eroded into the fluted cathedral cliffs of the Nā Pali Coast and the fourteen-mile red-and-green chasm of Waimea Canyon. Polynesians settled it more than a thousand years ago; Cook made his first Hawaiian landfall at Waimea Bay on January 20, 1778.

King Kaumualiʻi ceded the island peacefully to Kamehameha in 1810, the one island he never took by force; a Russian fort went up at Waimea in 1816, and Hawaiʻi’s first successful sugar plantation began at Kōloa in 1835. Mount Waiʻaleʻale at the center is among the rainiest places on Earth and feeds the taro valleys of Hanalei. The Garden Isle 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.

All Kauaʻi Hawaiʻi Items

What's with "the Garden Isle"? Kauaʻi is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands — some five million years of weather have had the longest to work on it, and it shows. Near the island's center, Mount Waiʻaleʻale catches the trade winds and rings up among the wettest places on Earth, and all that rain has to go somewhere: it has cut the red-walled chasm of Waimea Canyon, fluted the green sea cliffs of the Nā Pali Coast, and filled the taro valleys of the north shore. The result is an island so lush it earned a single nickname that has stuck for generations — the Garden Isle. Watch the clouds pile up on Waiʻaleʻale and you are watching the machine that built the scenery.

Our Kauaʻi logo carries the hibiscus and the "Hawaiian Kingdom — Est. 1795" banner, the shared retro emblem of our Hawaiʻi towns; 1795 marks the founding of the Kingdom under Kamehameha — the Kingdom's birthday, not Kauaʻi's, since the island famously joined later, by agreement, in 1810. Rendered in worn black-and-white, like an old travel decal or crate label, it ties Kauaʻi to every other Hawaiian place we make. The hibiscus is island bloom and pure aloha. What makes this one Kauaʻi is the story behind it — the Garden Isle, the canyon and the cliffs, and the island that was never conquered.

Why People Visit Kauaʻi

People come to Kauaʻi for the oldest, greenest island in the chain and the quieter pace that comes with it. It rewards travelers who would rather hike a canyon rim or paddle a north-shore bay than chase a crowd — a place of waterfalls, taro valleys, and emerald cliffs, with a deep Hawaiian history and a slower, garden kind of aloha.
