Inspired by an enlightened king more than a century ago, Hawaii was an early adopter of electricity to light homes and power industry. The ingenuity in creating and delivering power on these isolated islands is a unique story of innovation, connectivity and progressive thinking that continues today. For more than 125 years, Hawaiian Electric Company has provided the energy that has helped drive the islands' development from a kingdom to a modern state. Hawaiian Electric Company and its subsidiaries, Maui Electric Company and Hawaii Electric Light Company, serve 95 percent of the state's 1.4 million residents on the islands of Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, Lanai and Molokai.

Crazy Shirts was founded in Hawaii in 1964. From its humble beginnings of airbrushing “undershirts” on the sidewalks of Waikiki, the Crazy Shirts brand has risen to be recognized as an international icon. Crazy Shirts set the trend in the 60’s and has continued to push the envelope ever since, pioneering “specialty dyed” products as well as the wildly popular “water-print” line (garments that change designs when wet). Innovation is a pillar that the company proudly stands on. Spanning more than 40 years, Crazy Shirts has become known for producing the most creative garments of the highest quality available in the marketplace. No detail is spared in the production of the world famous T’s. They are constructed of 100% ring-spun combed cotton with a seamless Lycra collar. These custom manufactured blanks are so specialized that there is currently only one company that is able to produce them to the exacting Crazy Shirts standards. In fact since 2001, nearly 25 manufacturers have tried and failed to measure up. The Crazy Shirts brand has grown to encompass a diverse product offering built around our storied Hawaiian roots. No longer simply the best T-shirt on the market, the timeless style now includes casual outerwear, pants, shorts, board shorts, stylish “crop pants”, fashion tops, caps and more. Fans from around the globe are able to enjoy Crazy Shirts in every season. Crazy Shirts products are available in 38 unique company owned retail locations in Florida, South Carolina, Nevada, California, Hawaii and Guam; as well as through the Catalog and in Cyberspace at crazyshirts.com. The sought after garments are also available in select “Duty Free” locations in Hawaii, Guam and Saipan.
