This is our retro Lahaina, Hawaii logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

Lahaina on the leeward coast of West Maui was the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi from about 1820 to 1845 and a Pacific whaling port through the nineteenth century, long loved for its Front Street, its harbor and the banyan tree planted in 1873.

On August 8, 2023, the deadliest American wildfire in more than a century destroyed most of the historic town and took 102 lives, and the community is still rebuilding. This piece carries the town’s name in respect for its people and its history; the banyan has put out new leaves.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

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.

Native Hawaiians lived on this West Maui shore for centuries, with Lahaina a place of taro loʻi, fishponds, and the royal island of Mokuʻula at Mokuhinia. In the early 1800s Lahaina became the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi — the seat of the islands' royal government in the decades after the 1795 unification — and one of the most important towns in the Pacific.

By the middle of the nineteenth century, Lahaina was a great whaling port. Hundreds of ships rode at anchor in its roadstead each season, and the town was a Pacific crossroads of sailors, traders, and goods from around the world. Sugar plantations later reshaped the surrounding lands, and Lahaina carried its layered history — Hawaiian royal seat, mission town, and seaport — into the modern era.
