Wash inside out and inside a mesh net (laundry bag) is highly helpful. This prevents friction, snagging, and fading by keeping the visible side of the garment protected while still allowing water and detergent to circulate.

For items such as our blue lehua, pink camo or brown camo, please wash in cold water if you want to keep the color bright. If you prefer the pink to fade slightly for a vintage look, you may wash on normal. 

Do not wash every week. Space out washes to protect the fabric and print.

After drying, you may see loose liner threads inside from the embroidery. This is normal. You can gently pull/cut off any excess, as they are only placeholders for stitching. 

On the outside, you may trim any extra distressing if needed.

For the first wash, if you want more vintage fading, you can dry on regular or low heat. 

After you get a nice distressed look (first wash/dry), it is best to dry on low heat to maintain quality for your maintenance washes.

What is Hawaii Dept?
Designed and Founded by "Projectjev" in 2025. Built on three pillars: Faith. Hawaiian culture. Streetwear.

Statement pieces made for the lahui. More than basic tees, common aloha attire. A contemporary style that other streetwear brands cannot replicate here.
Over 12 months, we built a community of more than 18,000 on TikTok and 8,000 on Instagram. More than 30 original pieces.

THE LOGO
Look close. At the center, a cross. Representing Faith.

At its edges, the edges of the gates of ʻIolani Palace. A reference to the Hawaiian Kingdom, to Queen Liliʻuokalani, and to a history that cannot be separated from the present.

The cross is more than a symbol of belief. It connects faith to a homeland whose sovereignty was overthrown and whose history continues to shape its people.

Around it, the ʻōhiʻa lehua.

A flower associated with resilience. A symbol of a lāhui that has endured disruption, restrictions, and attempts to suppress its language, practices, and identity.

Our ancestors carried things forward. The language. The faith. The traditions. The responsibility.

We inherit more than history. We inherit the obligation to keep it alive.

Faith in the center. History in the structure. Resilience in the details.

Designed to be recognized. Remembered. And carried forward.

Mission
The Lahui continues to thrive and represent Hawai'i with a sense of style or fashion.
