Funny thing: I've seen people wearing this apparel brand for years and assumed it was simply a…read morebrand of sporting equipment or something. LOL! Now that I know what it's really all about, you have to appreciate both the clothing and the mission. :) Although I wish they had a few more styles, colors, and/or clothing options, I am not complaining. I bought a great shirt that fits well with a simple but tasteful Hawaiian design on it. My wife purchased a tank top that she really likes, too. The store, which is fairly small, nonetheless has two fitting rooms so that you can try things on. The staff was friendly enough, and the products are neat and well organized. Pricing isn't cheap, but it's not higher than you would expect either. Many of the T-shirts are marked as fitted shirts, but to me they are normal. I don't fit into fitted shirts too well, and even after a wash, the shirt fits perfectly fine, so you are unlikely to have to size up. If you're in the area and are on board with the mission and message, you'd be remiss not to stop in!

Shirt shopping is always easy at any Kahala shop and this Hale'iwa Store Lots location is nice and open and spacious enough to browse was easy to scan and look for the particular print that made it easy so that it wouldn't be necessary to open it up and make a mess. The shop here is very nice and organized while the staff here is a delight helping with any questions that I had especially when I was asking for a specific size. Not just shirts but Olu Kai Slippers are found here as well, love the quality of the items here and glad to find the shirt I was looking for. Thank you!

We found ourselves in the cool town of Haleiwa that fateful day when the tsunami warning hit…read moreHawaii. Little did we know we would need help and would meet the kindest people! Before the alerts and sirens, we were shopping. We went into the HIC store - we love this nastalgic brand and made a point to stop in. This location had such a fun vibe and so much to choose from for the whole family. Here is where we met Merv! He was super nice and helpful with things we were intersed in purchasing. We left happy with our items. Shortly after realizing these alerts were to take serious and we would need to get to higher ground, we headed for our transportation, which was the bus. The bus wasn't coming anytime soon and we knew we were far from our hotel. Something told us to rush back to Merv! Thank goodness we did, he and Hunter graciously let us hitch a ride into their town Mililani, where we would be safer while we waited things out. Merv's kindness just continued and he and his family gave us shelter into their welcoming home! They showed us Angelenos what the Aloha spirit is. If you are on Oahu visiting, go to the HIC store in Haleiwa and you just might meet a real life hero - Merv!

Unfortunately, the customer service was very disappointing. My wife and I visited the store while…read moreshe was looking for some shirts, but not a single staff member greeted us or offered to help. The employees seemed irritated, avoided making eye contact, and didn't create a welcoming atmosphere. This store is in a high traffic tourist area, so providing friendly and welcoming customer service should be a priority. A simple greeting or offer of assistance goes a long way and can make a big difference in a customer's experience. I hope the staff receive additional customer service training, as a more positive and attentive approach would benefit both customers and the business.

Stopped here for some North Shore shirts. Smallish store jammed full with all kinds of merch…read more Plenty of shirts in stock and all different sizes. Plus shorts, bikinis, foot wear and beach going supplies. They got some surfing supplies covered too - I mean it is a surf shop. A couple of friendly teen (I assume) employees right there to make sure we found everything we were looking for. Bought a 2 shirts with nice graphics. Prices were ok, not bargain but not outrageous and they feel thicker than the usual shirts being sold

Even if you're not an Aviator Nation fan, you can go for the outdoor swinging chairs photo op, free stickers, blast of a/c, PLUS you can park there and walk to the food trucks, avoiding their stressful, muddy, tight lot that costs $2. Just be sure to go in their store if you do that, don't be a Kolohe cockroach. This location is a standout because it was personally curated by the brand's founder to reflect the local surfing culture and laid-back vibe on Hale'iwa. She even hand painted the murals and selected the 100 classic records to ensure an authentic vintage atmosphere. If you like Aviator Nation, they have shops in Vegas, Nashville, San Francisco, Mill Valley, Aspen & Vail, Austin, the Hamptons, Orange County (Laguna Beach), San Diego (La Jolla), and Los Angeles (Manhattan Beach, Venice, Santa Monica, and Malibu). But this branch has exclusive North Shore branded merchandise, including signature tees, and hoodies and trucker hats. I got one for my cat Doobie because to keep his hair back when he makes biscuits.
