The history of hoodies

Flashback: the first hooded sweatshirt, or "hoodie", was created in the 1930s in the USA for athletes to wear during training. The hood protected them from wind and weather. Later, the hoodie spread to American students, who wore it emblazoned with their high school logo. In the 1970s, the hoodie became the symbol of protest cultures: skateboarders, graffiti artists and hip-hop artists. In the 1990s, ready-to-wear designers seized on this garment and propelled it to the forefront of the fashion scene. Today, the hoodie has become an iconic garment, worn proudly with the logo of a business school, at dress parties, at fashion week or at work, the hoodie has become a fashion item in its own right. What's more, it's a mixed garment, a men's hoodie can therefore become a women's hoodie in oversize but not only...

At Project X Paris, the hoodie can be adapted to all styles, from the most classic, dressy to the most street, while remaining a very comfortable piece. Classic models, with a kangaroo pocket, offer a more sportswear look. For a badass outfit, wear your hoodie oversized, layered over a longer tee.

Who's the hoodie for?

>Clichés surround the wearing of sweatshirts in everyday life. Too often associated with the sporting world, we forget that it's one of the few garments that can be worn by all types of people. The difference lies in the choice of cut, color and quality. Although unlike other garments, men's hoodies can also be worn as women's hoodies.

In fact, as mentioned above, it's a mixed garment that can be adapted to any style.

A Project X Paris sweatshirt will provide a high-quality finish. Denser and more compact, it will define a beautiful build and resist wear and tear more easily.

The sweatshirt was born in the USA in the 1920s on campus sports fields. It was a real revolution, as sportsmen of the time were previously equipped with wool sweaters that were totally unsuited to the practice of any sport. The first sweatshirts were oversized, collarless, long-sleeved and made of thick, fleecy cotton jersey. As soon as the sweatshirt came onto the market in the 1950s, all university sportsmen and women adopted it to wear with their campus logo. The sweatshirt then spread beyond university boundaries to be worn everywhere. Finally, in the years 2000-2010, haute-couture houses got hold of this sportswear garment, and the sweatshirt became a chic piece adapted by celebrities.
