The Poʻipū hoodie, for the town that is the sunny south shore of Kauaʻi. A medium-heavy cotton pullover with the Poʻipū vintage retro logo across the chest in black, made to be worn from the first cold morning to the last.

If you are buying one Poʻipū piece, this is the one that gets worn most: warm enough for the sideline, the dock and the drive home, and the hoodie that gets borrowed and never returned. It is the gift for the one who moved away from Poʻipū, and the one that arrives in time for the holidays if you order now.

Medium-heavy fleece gives this unisex hoodie its warmth and durability. It has a regular fit that runs true to size for adults, a three-panel hood, ribbed cuffs and waistband, double-needle stitching at key seams, and a tear-away label. Fabric: 80% combed ring-spun cotton / 20% polyester, with heather shades in cotton–poly blends.

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.

All Poʻipū Hawaiʻi Items

Native Hawaiians lived along this shore for centuries before any mill or resort, drawn by sheltered coves, reef fisheries, and fertile land inland — and the shore kept its royal thread: Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole, "the People's Prince," was born at Poʻipū in 1871, and his birthplace is marked today at Prince Kūhiō Park in Lāwaʻi. His holiday, March 26, is one of only two U.S. state holidays honoring royalty. Kauaʻi was also the first Hawaiian island Europeans reached — Captain James Cook landed at Waimea, west of here, in 1778 — and the island entered the Hawaiian Kingdom on its own terms, when King Kaumualiʻi ceded it peacefully to Kamehameha in 1810.

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.

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.
