I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I'm surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I'm prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I'm the only one.
I always called it a sweat jacket.
In German: Kapuzenjacke
A swacket.
Schrodinger's Outer Layer
sweatjacket
Zoodie
Sweatshirt when zipped, jacket when unzipped, always hoodie.
It's clearly white and gold
It's blue and black what are you high on?!
Depends what it's made of IMO. That form factor can be a jacket if it's made of jacket material, but the one pictured appears to be made of sweater material, and it's therefore a hoodie, which is a sweater.
Standard haxor uniform for posing for pictures.
Missing are the black jeans, black sunglasses and/or the Guy Fawkes madk.
It's a hoodie.
This whole thing is confusing to me.
For me, gen X, growing up it was this:
Sweatshirt: Non-hooded OR hooded and shirt shaped with NO zipper but made of material that is "fleece"-like on one side and smooth-ish on the other.
Jacket: zippered thing, long sleeves, usually made of plastic or nylon but the purpose was to wear OVER your clothes as a windbreaker and/or to keep you warm.
Hoodies did not exist. Things like a sweatshirt, jacket, coat or shirt might have a hood.
Now, I do not know what the fuck to call shit.
That is a fucking jirt. Shirtet. Sweatjack. Hoodet. Sweatie. Jackie.
We call them zoodies in our sports club, to differentiate them from hoodies, which have no zip.
It's a zip up hoody, which makes it a sweater as far as I'm aware.
Zip up hoodie
Depends on the material and construction by my reckoning. If it's made of just sweatshirt fleece (smooth on the outside face), it would most-precisely be called a "full-zip hooded sweatshirt." I have also heard of these referred to as a "sweatjac," though. (Which, IMO, sounds more like an event at the Self-Love Olympics.) Without the zipper, it'd be a "pullover hooded sweatshirt." If it were constructed with a lining, or from a heavier-duty material (e.g. denim), then it'd be a "hooded jacket." Garments made from material with two fuzzy faces (or even one fuzzy face on the outside) are "fleeces," so this'd be a "full-zip hooded fleece."
No, I don't claim that it makes sense, it's just the way I learned it.
It's both, depending on what word my brain decides to use at the time.
But I think usually that would be a "sweater", a "sweatshirt" doesn't have a zipper or hood, and a "jacket" is made of, um, jacket material.
Where I'm from a sweatshirt is a very specific thing which doesn't have a zip.
When I was growing up, we called these “sweatshirt jackets.” So, yes.
It's down to the material. That looks like full cotton with a hood. So, sweatshirt. Hooded sweatshirt = Hoodie. Denim? Would've been a jacket. Some sort of wind blocking material like polyester or nylon would be a jacket. I might give jacket status to a multilayer cotton jacket with inner liners too.
This kinda rocks my world. I never thought of it being based on the material, no wonder I've always found the whole hoodie / sweatshirt / sweater / jacket think confusing.
Hmmm...still not sure it makes sense to me...
That's alright. It doesn't matter in the slightest. If you want to call them whatever it doesn't matter.
nylon
Then it's a windbreaker
I'd classify a windbreaker as a jacket. All squares are rectangles and what not.
Yes.
