The Lahaina women’s fitted tee, for the town that was the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Slim, contoured ringspun cotton with the Lahaina vintage retro logo on the chest in black, cut for anyone who finds the unisex tee boxy.

This women's fitted tee carries the Lahaina vintage retro mark in black, plain and unadorned: the name of a town with a long history, made to order, offered without slogans or scenes for those who hold the place close.

Classic crewneck, slim contoured fit, longer body length: a women’s fitted t-shirt in soft, lightweight ringspun cotton jersey with side seams and a tear-away label. This style runs smaller than usual. Solid colors are 100% cotton; select heather/blend shades may include a cotton–polyester mix.

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.

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.

Set on the leeward side of the West Maui Mountains (Mauna Kahālāwai), Lahaina has always been a place of strong sun and wide ocean horizons — the bright, dry shore that gives Lahaina Noon its name and the islands their famous light.

What's with Lahaina Noon? Twice a year, when the sun's path lines up directly over this latitude, it climbs to the exact center of the sky and — for a moment at midday — vertical objects cast almost no shadow at all. Hawaiians knew the moment as kau ka lā i ka lolo, "the sun resting on the brains," and today it's called Lahaina Noon. The name fits the town's bright, leeward shore: Lāhainā means "cruel" or "merciless sun," for the dry, sun-soaked western coast of Maui where the light is famously strong.
