Are hoodies sweatshirts?

Yes, hoodies are a variation of sweatshirts. Both are crafted from knit or fleece fabric, but the hoodie includes a hood and sometimes a pocket. Sweatshirts, introduced for athletic wear in the 1920s, evolved into hoodies for warmth and practicality. Today’s OEM factories produce both cotton-loopback and brushed-fleece versions, bridging performance sportswear and streetwear fashion.
