The hoodie is a utilitarian garment that originated in the 1930s in the US for workers in cold New York warehouses. The earliest clothing style was first produced by Champion in the 1930s. 

The hoodie became popular in the 1970s, with several factors contributing to its success. Hip Hop Culture developed in New York around this time and high fashion also took off during this era.
