Each of these unique items celebrates the town that raised us. “Hilo One,” or the sands of Hilo, is an affectionate Hawaiian metaphor for the sands of our birth. Itʻs the community of Hilo that shapes who we become, and for this HIAA fundraiser, we wanted to uplift the story of our town.

This Hilo One windbreaker is a one-of-one sample that has never been released. Finished with double-sided pockets, cuffed wrists, premium rubber zipper pulls, and an adjustable elastic drawcord at the hem, every detail of this modern windbreaker reflects a design built to move, endure, and be used at a moment’s notice.

A pair of limited Rocks glasses is accompanied by a bottle of 3Tres Reposado Tequila, all with the Hilo One design. 3Tres is a Hawaii-owned tequila company, crafted in Jalisco, Mexico and aged for 6 months in a barrel, with slight oak tones and a light peppery flavor from the agave.
