The Lahaina polo, for the town that was the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Soft ring-spun cotton pique with the Lahaina vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in white thread: hometown pride that passes at the office.

This embroidered polo carries the Lahaina vintage retro mark in white, 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.

This semi-fitted pique polo pairs soft 100% ring-spun cotton (~5.2 oz/yd²) with a chest-embroidered vintage-retro logo. Side seams, a classic 2-button placket, and dyed-to-match buttons keep it sharp yet easy, and the lightweight, breathable fabric is made for warm weather; advanced fabric certification adds peace of mind. Machine wash cold (gentle), tumble dry low, no bleach, do not iron decoration, no dry clean. Since embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process. Full details are explained in our Embroidery footer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
