The Poʻipū premium crewneck, for the town that is the sunny south shore of Kauaʻi. A 9.9 oz cotton-rich sweatshirt with a smooth face and the Poʻipū vintage retro logo on the chest in white.

This is the softer, heavier of our two Poʻipū crewnecks, the one that becomes the three-days-a-week sweatshirt from October on. Smooth face, rich print, no scratchy tag. If you want the sweatshirt that feels like a favorite on day one, this is it; order now for cold weather and holiday giving.

This unisex soft cotton sweatshirt is cut true to size from a medium-heavy 9.9 oz fabric — 80% cotton, 20% polyester — that feels substantial without weighing you down. Our retro artwork prints in rich detail on the smooth cotton-rich surface; ribbed-knit cuffs and collar, reinforced side seams, and twill neck tape keep everything crisp wash after wash; and the tear-away label means no scratchy tag. Machine washable, ethically printed on demand, and made to become a favorite.

Poʻipū, Hawaiian for crashing waves, is the southernmost tip of Kauaʻi and the driest, sunniest stretch of coast on the island. Ladd & Company established Hawaiʻi’s first successful sugar plantation at nearby Kōloa in 1835, the start of the whole Hawaiian sugar era, and the waves of immigrant workers who followed built Old Kōloa Town.

Seventeen early-1900s buildings still stand on Kōloa Road, the Sueoka Store among them, open since 1918, under the monkeypod planted in 1925. Poʻipū Beach Park, twin sandy crescents where monk seals haul out, has been named the best beach in America. The south shore is the mark on this piece.

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.

All Poʻipū Hawaiʻi Items

The modern resort coast was shaped in large part by a single storm. Hurricane ʻIniki — the strongest hurricane on record to strike Hawaiʻi — crossed Kauaʻi on September 11, 1992, a decade after Hurricane ʻIwa had rehearsed the damage in 1982. The long rebuild gave Poʻipū much of the coast it has today, clustered along the beaches and the golf at Poʻipū Bay. Kauaʻi County's famous rule that no building may rise taller than a coconut palm still holds, which is why the south shore glitters low along the water instead of climbing above it. ʻIniki's other legacy is told in every local family: the storm hit while Jurassic Park was filming on the island, and the crews sheltered alongside residents — then the island rebuilt, as it always has.

In Old Kōloa Town, a row of wooden plantation-era storefronts still stands beneath a monkeypod tree planted in 1925, restored now as shops, galleries, and small eateries. The Sueoka family has run their store there since 1918 — and runs it still. A free history center and the ten-mile Kōloa Heritage Trail, with fourteen marked cultural and historical sites, connect the town to the shore it fed for a century.

Why People Visit Poʻipū

  • Poʻipū Beach Park — the best-beach-in-America crescents, beginner surf, and honu (with monk seals as occasional guests).
  • Spouting Horn — the lava-tube blowhole throwing spray forty or fifty feet, best at higher surf.
  • The Tree Tunnel — the 1911 eucalyptus vault over Maluhia Road, the classic south-shore arrival.
  • Old Kōloa Town & the Heritage Trail — plantation storefronts, the 1835 mill chimney, fourteen marked history stops.
  • The gardens — Allerton and McBryde tours in the Lāwaʻi Valley; Prince Kūhiō Park on the shore road.
  • Māhāʻulepū Heritage Trail — the wild two miles east from Shipwreck Beach along cliffs and lithified dunes.
