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.

      Weirdly for me, this wouldn’t be a hoodie. Pullover hoodies are the only type possible in my mind. Something like this would be a jacket to me.

        Check this out dawg - a pullover hoodie is this without a zipper. So this is a – zippered hoodie.

          To be clear, I don’t actually refer to it as a “pullover hoodie”. I just said that for clarification.

          For me,

          A hooded sweatshirt without a zipper = hoodie. In my experience, these are often (but not always) more looser fitting.

          A hooded article of clothing with a zipper = jacket. In my experience, these are often more form fitting.

            First - tone is hard to convey. I think what I said could sound rl douchey if read wrong. I wasn’t slamming you.

            I understand your point and I think it really its just about where you grew up and what other people call things. I have def called my zip up a jacket.

            In this specific case - this is a zipper / zip up hoodie. Or just zip up. But like you aren’t breaking any laws by calling it a jacket and people still know what you mean when you call it a jacket - so it doesn’t matter at all and you do you

            Wear that fuckin jacket dawg.

    I really like these because they’re convenient. I call them a hoodie.

    Then I realised I never use the hood and it’s kinda uncomfortable when you put a jacket on in winter

    So I bought one without a hood

    That was the day I realised I’d bought what was essentially my first cardigan :(

      If it has a zipper I’d consider it a sweater not a cardigan. Cardis have buttons.

      (Realizing that a cardigan is a type of sweater, but I just mean it’s a different kind of sweater)

      the ones without hoods often have uncomfortable collars, like zipper scratching my neck etc. so even though i dont use the hood, i prefer having it so it sits well.

    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.

      Jackets, often, but not always. Track jackets, windbreaker jackets, shell jackets, etc. Light jackets and coats without lining are pretty easy to find. I even have a light sport coat with no lining.

    Sweatshirts are double-layered pullovers, typically non-woven. Sweaters are single-layer pullovers, typically knit. Jackets have buttons or zippers. Hoodies have hoods and are made of fabric (e.g. raincoats are not hoodies).

    You can have hoodies that are also sweatshirts, or hoodies that are also jackets.

    This garment pictured in your post is a jacket. It is also a hoodie. It is neither a sweatshirt nor a sweater.

    This is just my interpretation of the situation. I don’t know of any formal classification system for outerwear.
