A unisex sweatshirt built to last. The 80% cotton / 20% polyester blend makes a medium-heavy 9.9 oz fabric that feels substantial without weighing you down, in a true-to-size fit that works for everyone. Our retro artwork prints with rich detail on the smooth, cotton-rich surface, and ribbed-knit cuffs and collar, reinforced side seams, and twill neck tape keep the shape crisp wash after wash. A tear-away label means no scratchy tag. Machine washable and ethically printed on demand.

Vancouver gave Kamehameha I cattle in 1793 and the herds went wild on Mauna Kea; vaqueros arrived in the 1830s to teach the Hawaiians to ride and rope, and the paniolo tradition was born, older than the mainland cowboy. John Palmer Parker founded Parker Ranch in 1847, still one of the oldest and largest in the United States.

Waimea, also called Kamuela, sits in cool, misty pasture at 2,600 feet on the saddle between the Kohala Mountains and Mauna Kea, where nights drop into the fifties and fireplaces are common. The 1847 koa homestead Mana Hale still stands and Church Row lines the center of town. Cowboy Hawaiʻi is the mark on this piece.

More From Waimea Hawaiʻi

All Waimea Hawaiʻi Items

This was old, settled country long before the cattle came. Native Hawaiians had farmed the Waimea uplands since around 1100–1200 AD, terracing the leeward slopes into field systems walled with kuaiwi and watered by ʻauwai canals tapped from the Waimea streams; the upper slopes are said to have supported more than ten thousand people before Western contact. After contact, two waves remade the land — first the sandalwood cutters of the early 1800s, who stripped the fragrant ʻōhiʻa and māmane forests and carried the wood down to the coast for the China trade, and then the cattle that turned the cleared ground into the open pasture Waimea is known for today.

Our Waimea logo carries the Hawaiian hibiscus over “Hawaiian Kingdom · Est. 1795,” the year Kamehameha I unified the islands — the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics Hawaiʻi place. Printed in a clean retro black-and-white that reads like an old travel decal, the hibiscus stands for the islands as a whole; what makes this one Waimea is the country behind it — the paniolo on the high pastures, Parker Ranch under Mauna Kea, and a Hawaiian town that has been green, cool, and proud of its cowboys for nearly two centuries.

Why People Visit Waimea

Waimea offers the Hawaiʻi that isn't a beach — cool, green, and high, with a deep ranching culture and Native Hawaiian roots. Visitors come for the paniolo heritage, the upland air, the farmers' markets, and the rare feeling of a Hawaiian cowboy town under the slopes of a sacred mountain.
