Oliver Men’s Shop

Awesome stuff! An easy place to pick up new gift for yourself or someone else. Only lost 1 star because the size choices are so limited.

Oliver is located in the little cluster of shops next to Chad Lou’s. It is at the beginning of Kihapai Street, across from Hardware Hawaii. There is metered parking and a small lot in the back. If using the lot, the driveway is one lane for entering and exiting, so be careful. The driveway lane is located to the right of Oliver if facing the shop.
Oliver is a men’s store. It has a sister store, Olive, on the other side of Chad Lou’s. The coffee shop is separating Olive and Oliver. How cute! I come in about every few weeks to check out if there is anything new and exciting. I’m not a man, but they have some really cool items in the store. Besides clothing, there is toothpaste, ceramic coffee cups, wallets, towels, shoes, belts, vinyl records, and more!
They often have sales, so I always check out the rack for gifts. My kids love the socks from here. Very stylish.
The sales people are always so nice. I can’t gush enough about them. Always with a smile, and always ready to answer any questions. This last visit, my teen got into a discussion with the associate about vinyl records and what bands to check out. Also, Oliver will be coming out with a compilation record next month. It will have covers of great hits, but lounge style, but still local. We were lucky enough to hear part of it. I can honestly say I am anxiously waiting for it’s release!
The customer service, the ease of parking, the unique items sold here make Oliver a favorite local shop for me!

Really friendly service and lots of interesting pieces. Stylish without being pretentious! A great selection of items that could complete a whole wardrobe but in a very small retail space! Impressive!

I love coming in here because it’s just so unique. It has a very beachy vibe. I love all the shirts and knick-​knacks but they are really expensive.
They do sell Field Notes notebooks that I love; they are a special Hawaii edition too.

Where else can you go and emerse yourself in a rustic men’s surf lifestyle shop on Oahu? Nowhere. Oliver Men’s Shop is the parter shop to Oliver Boutique on the other side of Chad Lou’s in Kailua.
Men’s tees, trunks, sweaters, chinos, and the chambray shirt. What more do you need? Chock full of great brands in clothing, Oliver also features lifestyle products like Coola’s HangTen sunscreen, Sea salt soap, italian Marvis toothpaste, Grove scented soy candles, cool sunglasses and a great duffle to carry it all.
Part gift shop, surf wear, and all around a good go to shop for your daily wardrobe needs. I shop here exclusively for my brothers and they have yet to complain. Make a trip to Kailua, the tourists have already figured it out.

Until Oliver came along Oahu was lacking for a quality shop that specializes in men’s clothes and accessories.
Not to say there are none, but personally I sometimes need a little more than HIC and a little less than Neiman Marcus.
The little space in Kailua is well stocked with just about anything the well appointed man could want. Shirts, literature, and substances for staying well groomed alongside tools to keep your various accessories (Like keys, money, or beer) in check from day to day.
Aesthetically this shop feels like something Great Grandpa would have built a motorcycle in… or perhaps shaped a balsa-​wood surfboard.
Next time you go in have a seat and talk story with whoever is at the counter, listen to some tunes, and enjoy the people watching because a shop like this is a rare commodity these days.

I just found this place by just hanging out in Kailua. The area is very popular. This is a small mens shop but the taste and selections are great. I recommend and shop!

Preppy meets surfer = Oliver
I recently read a good review of this boutique in a Japanese magazine so I decided to swing by.
Because the other reviews below thrown around oh-​so-​descriptive with terms like «cute» and «relaxed,» I thought I’d give it a little more detailed review.
This store is very unique that it stocks high-​end casual clothing that you won’t really find elsewhere on the Island. I think this store fits under the umbrella of a lifestyle boutique e.g. Ron Herman, J. Crew Mens Shop, Steven Alan, Saturdays, and etc. minus the pretension of the «cool guy» boutiques.
They stock house-​label clothing including t-​shirts, coozies, canvas totes. The t-​shirts run about $ 45. I picked up a coozie for $ 4 as a souvenir. They also stock some Hawaiian independent cut-​and-​sew labels that I’ve never seen before. I also saw a small selection of Saturdays in one of the racks. In addition to the clothes, they have a good selection of mens accessories like wrap bracelets (like Chan Luu), keychains, field notes, and small leather goods.
I think it’d be cool if they started carrying niche Hawaiian labels like Island Slipper and «IT» grooming products like Imperial.
As far as the service goes, the folks work here are super helpful and friendly. Easy parking also.
Being used to going to shops in the Mainland and Tokyo, it wasn’t a total mind blowing experience but this place’s definitely got a lot of potential. If you are looking for a small present for a twenty– or thirty-​something guy who’s into clothes, you’ll find something cool for sure. Definitely worth checking out if you are in Kailua.

After sweating my buns off at a Unilocal Kicks Butt boot camp, I peered into Oliver on the walk back to my car. I walked into the small and unassuming shop only to find the little store that could!
Oliver is a men’s store owned by a man and his wife owns a women’s boutique called Olivia which is located two doors down. Honestly, does it get any cuter than that? I went in looking for something for my boyfriend and told the owner I needed fitted shirts. «My boyfriend is reaaaaally metro!» I exclaimed. Although he had some really great designs, I ended up deciding to take the safe route of bringing my boyfriend in at a later time.
Other than fantastic customer service I love that the owner had designed and built everything in the store. There’s so much detail and you can tell each item has been intentionally selected. Great spot to pick up a gift for that awesome man in your life and and support a fantastic local business!

Awesome little boutique shop tucked away in Kailua. Parker (the owner) carries unique brands and merchandise that no other shop in Hawaii has. Great coffee at Chadlou’s next door and Olive, Oliver’s sister store, is sure to have something for all you ladies. Nice layout, relaxed vibe. Thumbs up!

Love this little mens shop.
Popped in after visiting Olive boutique a few doors down. Husband got a nice t shirt and we picked up an adorable t shirt for our little boy.
Definitely worth checking out!

Awesome boutique for GUYS! Thank you! Unique clothing, accessories, and nick-​knacks, for that unique guy. Love this store!

5 stars for the great vibe not to mention the great merchandise! This men’s shop is open, airy and I loved the clothing and jewelry. The décor was awesome and the service was friendly.
It’s next to it’s sister shop, Olive (women’s clothing), and Chadlous:
When you step into the shop don’t forget to look down at the «welcome mat». It’s made of pennies! I want that!
