Where did hoodies come from?

The hoodie originated in the United States in the 1930s, developed by Champion Knitting Mills as workwear for cold warehouses. It evolved through athletic and streetwear culture into a fashion icon. We honor that heritage with modern tech fabrics and flatlock stitching in OEM production.
