People today have used hoody as a part of their daily clothing, but not many of them realize that hoody has undergone a quite long history in clothing and garment. The history went back to the Middle Ages, when only Catholic monks were the ones wearing their robes with decorative hoody as the symbol of their existence. Later on, the hoody was used again for working laborer in the 1930s. The modern
Franklin Marshall hoody as we know it made its debut in the 1930s, when Champion Sportswear designed a version to keep New York warehouse laborers warm while they worked. American fashion designer Claire McCardell also helped popularize the hoody around this time. This came in handy for at least two types of people operating in hip-hop’s urban breeding ground: graffiti writers and so-called stick-up kids, or muggers. Wearing a Franklin marshall hoodie meant you were keeping a low profile, and perhaps up to something illegal. Other subcultures adopted the hoodie, too — skaters, snowboarders and hard-core punk music fans — and so signified their status as outcasts.
The movie “Rocky” in the 1980s, introduced hooded sweatshirt as a part of sports activity. In the 1990s, hoody was a new symbol for academic activists and athletes. Skate boarders were also using this type of clothing very often, to show their street style and freedom in clothing. Since then, hoodies have been used as a part of daily clothing. Today designers have also tried new designs on hoody to make it less rebellious and also add luxurious taste in it.
