Lā Kūʻokoʻa Haʻalilio Hunter Hoodie — Independence Was Won. Wear the Proof.

November 28, 1843. Lā Kūʻokoʻa — Independence Day. The day Great Britain and France formally recognized the Hawaiian Kingdom as a sovereign, independent nation among the powers of the world. Not a colony. Not a territory. A nation.

That recognition didn't happen on its own. Timoteo Haʻalilio — royal diplomat, advisor to Kauikeaouli (Kamehameha III), and one of the first Hawaiians to travel the world on behalf of the lāhui — crossed oceans and continents to secure it. He gave everything for that mission, passing away at sea before he could return home to the ʻāina he fought for. This hoodie carries his name so his story keeps traveling.

Lā Kūʻokoʻa was celebrated as a national holiday for generations — and today, kanaka and allies are bringing it back. Rocking this hoodie is part of that remembering. It says Hawaiʻi was recognized, Hawaiʻi is remembered, and the fight Haʻalilio started isn't finished.
Heavyweight, fleece-lined, and built to last — because this history should be worn year-round, not just on November 28th.
