The Poʻipū fleece, for the town that is the sunny south shore of Kauaʻi. An authentic Columbia MTR fleece, full-zip, with the Poʻipū vintage retro logo embroidered on the chest in white thread.

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

Our premium embroidered fleece jacket starts with an authentic Columbia blank in soft, warm MTR fleece and adds our vintage-retro logo, cleanly embroidered on the chest to order. The warm, lightweight full-zip is cut from MTR-style filament fleece (~7.4 oz/yd²) in an athletic, easy-layering fit with a stand collar and clean lines; it insulates on cool days, dries fast, and moves comfortably for walks, errands, travel, or campfire nights. 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.

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.

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.

Our Poʻipū logo carries the Hawaiian hibiscus above "Hawaiian Kingdom — Est. 1795," the shared retro emblem of our Hawaiʻi places, drawn in worn black-and-white like an old travel decal. What makes this one Poʻipū is everything around it: the crashing-waves name, the sunniest shore on the Garden Isle, the People's Prince, and the honu asleep on the best beach in America. Wear the south shore.

What's with Poʻipū? Poipu is Kauai's sunny south shore — a resort coast around a beach once named the best in America, with Old Koloa Town's plantation history inland. The name means "crashing waves," and the geography explains the sunshine: the trade winds drop their rain on Mount Waiʻaleʻale — among the wettest places on Earth — leaving this southern tip in a bright rain shadow. Kauaʻi at its warmest and most easygoing, with a century and a half of plantation history a mile up the road.

Why People Visit Poʻipū

Because it is Hawaiʻi at its sunniest and most easygoing — a warm, protected coast where the turtles share the sand, the blowhole keeps time, and the Garden Isle's plantation past sits a mile inland under a monkeypod tree. Beach by day, Kōloa by golden hour.
