The Waiʻanae premium crewneck, for the town that is the Westside of Oʻahu. A 9.9 oz cotton-rich sweatshirt with a smooth face and the Waiʻanae vintage retro logo on the chest in black.

This is the softer, heavier of our two Waiʻanae 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.

The Westside has been Native Hawaiian ground for centuries; Kāneʻāki Heiau in Mākaha Valley dates to the 15th century, evidence of a community large enough to have its own chief, and the Waiʻanae Coast today holds one of the highest concentrations of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders anywhere.

In 1937 surfers found the big winter waves at Mākaha, and the Mākaha International of 1952 was the first international surf competition in the world; Israel Kamakawiwoʻole grew up on this coast. The Waiʻanae Range rises behind it to Mount Kaʻala, the highest point on Oʻahu at 4,025 feet. The Westside 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 Waiʻanae Hawaiʻi Items

The Waiʻanae logo — our retro emblem — carries the hibiscus motif, the state flower of Hawaiʻi, and the date "1795" stamped beneath, for the year Kamehameha I unified the islands. The black-and-white styling is retro, in the vocabulary of travel decals and mid-century beach signage. The hibiscus and the date do the work of placing the design in the unification era of the islands — and the leeward coast that was the Royal Center of its moku, that hosted the world's first international surfing competition at Mākaha, and that stands beneath the highest summit on Oʻahu.

Waiʻanae is the heart of the Westside — the leeward coast of Oʻahu, home to one of the highest concentrations of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders anywhere.

Why People Visit Waiʻanae Hawaiʻi

Waiʻanae offers the original home of big-wave surfing at Mākaha Beach, the world's first international surfing competition (1953-1954) and the long-running Buffalo's Big Board Surfing Classic, the protected swimming waters of Pōkaʻī Bay with its Pōkaʻī coconut-grove legend and Kūʻīlioloa Heiau, the 15th-century Kāneʻāki Heiau in Mākaha Valley, the 4,025-foot summit of Mount Kaʻala as the highest peak on Oʻahu, the westernmost tip of Oʻahu at Kaʻena Point, and the long Native Hawaiian heritage of the Waiʻanae moku that has carried this coast for centuries. It is the leeward Westside of Oʻahu — a residential community whose culture is alive, and where the world first watched surfers ride big waves on television. On the Westside since time before contact.
