How were hoodies invented?

The modern hoodie was introduced in the 1930s by Champion® for U.S. workers needing warmth in cold warehouses. It evolved into sportswear, then global streetwear and fashion icon status. Our OEM services combine that heritage with today’s sustainability demands — recycled yarns and low-impact dyes.
