The word hoodie, a shortening of hooded sweatshirt, has apparently become a part of the mainstream vernacular — as recently heard used by a newscaster on the evening news! This, of course, speaks to the popularity of the garment as it’s not just for athletes anymore.

There are a variety of styles, colors, sizes and fabrics and have shown up everywhere from the playing field to the red carpet — worn by men, women, teens, tweens, children, toddlers and infants.

You can pull them over your head or zip them up. Lightweight as a cardigan alternative or heavy duty for cold winter nights. They‘re fleece, they‘re cotton, they‘re a blend — they‘re even organic or recycled.

And, once you embellish it with your imprinted or embroidered logo, art or design, they‘re really one of a kind.
