Airport Merch Drops

The New King's Hawaiian Logo Inspired Cozy Softwear Sets

King's Hawaiian is introducing a new logo with its first-ever line of Softwear Sets, a range of ultra-cozy sweatshirts and sweatpants, and a merch drop at Chicago O’Hare International Airport.

Cozy comfort clothes are always appreciated, especially with fall approaching and during travel, when warmth and ease matter most. People passing through Chicago O'Hare International Airport's Terminal 2 have the chance to pick up a limited-edition set, plus a soft travel pillow and an eye mask—so long as they are willing to swap the clothes they're wearing on the spot. Private changing booths are available on-site, and regular clothes traded for branded ones will be donated to a local charity.

For those who will miss out on the Softwear merch line drop at the airport, King's Hawaiian Softwear Sets and accessories can be purchased online.
