A Baja jacket (also known as a Baja hoodie, Baja surf hoodie, Baja sweatshirt) is a type of jacket with a single large pocket on the front, often associated with the surf cultures.
They were very popular in the Hippie subculture, [1] fans of post-hair metal, and now Millenials who see it as a Retro Style statement. [2]
They are known primarily as a "baja hoodie" or "baja jacket" because of the region in which they are popular.
In the 1970s, California surfers brought these hooded shirts back from surf trips to Baja California, Mexico. They became associated with surfers and surfing in mexican coastal towns, and worn as beachwear in cool weather.[3][4] The shirts, called "sudadera de jerga" in Mexico, are also traditionally worn by Mexican-American and Mexican youth, especially young men, and can be considered a part of cholo style.[5][6][7][8]
Baja Jackets are made with a variety of different materials: often cotton, acrylic, and polyester. The fabric can be made from recycled fibers, such as recycled T-shirts.[9]
In recent years, they have been adapted to simply become hoodies with some alterations like a zipper running up the middle. Because the striped pattern resembles a Mexican serape, the Baja Jacket is sometimes referred to as a poncho, but the two should not be confused. A poncho is a single piece of fabric with a head opening and sometimes arm openings. However, a poncho does not have sleeves, whereas the Baja Jacket does have sleeves.
