When were hoodies invented?

Hoodies were first introduced in the 1930s by Champion® for warehouse workers in New York seeking warmth. Their hooded sweatshirt design became popular among athletes, evolving into today’s global fashion essential. Our OEM team continues that legacy through advanced fleece knitting and flatlock construction.
