Sweatshirt– a warm jacket with long sleeves with or without a zipper, which does not restrict freedom of movement.
History of the sweatshirt
According to one version, the appearance of the sweatshirt is associated with the name of Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy, who loved to wear a long jacket in cool weather. This legend is supported by the name of the sweater, translated into other languages - blouse la Tolsto or Tolstoy shirt.
* Sweatshirt Hoodie
In addition to the main components, this type of sweatshirt has a stand-up collar that protects from wind and rain. The peak of the hoodie's popularity is associated with the rise of hip-hop culture, i.e. late 70s Various design houses offer collections that include the hoodie. Hilfiger, Armani, Claire McCardell, Cavalli, Lauren - these are just some of the names. Historically, the New York subculture is considered to be the birthplace of the hoodie. However, modern hoodie fans live mostly in Korea or Japan. A distinctive feature of such sweatshirts is the ears on the hood.
There are three main types of hoodies:
American gray sweatshirt with print, - traditional sports monochromatic or dull sweatshirt, - “vanilla” women's sweatshirt with small patterns
How to care for a sweatshirt
Sweatshirts, unlike other clothes, are unpretentious, and therefore can be washed either by hand or in a machine. Set the cutting mode to 30-40 degrees and gentle spin. Then dry with other things. Ironing of things should be on medium mode; drawings and stickers cannot be ironed!
Look at the item's label. Depending on the composition of the fabric - cotton, jersey or fleece, you can change the washing conditions. To ensure that your item lasts longer and does not fade, wash and iron it on the reverse side. Do not forget to wash the sweatshirt separately from other things for the first time, because... some shed and stain a lot.
How to choose a good women's sweatshirt
*Choose a material with a fine weave
For applying prints or in general for long-term wear, it will be better if the loops of the fabric do not get caught and lie in a dense, even layer. This way the drawing won’t crack, and you won’t need to tighten it
* Check the evenness of the cut
Pay attention to the same width and length of both sleeves and the symmetry of the details. It is no secret that with mass tailoring, the quality of products can be “lame”. Sticking threads, the density of the elastic, the curvature of the stitches - all these are little things that speak about the quality of the item.
* Show your strengths, hide your weaknesses
Among the sweatshirts there are fitted ones, shortened ones, elongated ones, and many other options for different needs. To highlight the slimness and beauty of a woman’s figure, choose a straight silhouette, length to mid-thigh or higher, and no ties or lacing.
* For simple models, the main thing is color
Because A sweatshirt is a rather simple thing, so the main attention is drawn to the color scheme of the item. It’s good when you know exactly your natural type of appearance and can choose an outfit based on this. But don't forget about color therapy. Your mood is a good reason to reflect this in your clothes. If you want to have fun and chat, take yellow, to be alone - black, to shine brightest - red.
Don’t forget that our clothes are an extension of ourselves. Decide who you want to be today and wear the right sweatshirt! --Anna Shestak 00:15, September 14, 2013 (MSK)

In the male vocabulary there are no such words as “sweatshirt” and “long sleeve”. There are only three words: sweatshirt, jacket and sweater, which denote clothes that are similar to each other. But the world, as we know, is not as simple as it might seem. Well, you can’t call things that are two peas in a pod and have different collars the same name. You can't even call them sweaters. Not all planets have names, but each rag has its own orders. Therefore, in order to navigate the mass of clothes that are similar to each other, we will learn to sort out what is what.
Let's start with the concept of a sweatshirt. The origin of the word “sweatshirt” turns our gaze to the distant literary past, to the beacon of thought -. It was he who wore a thick blouse without a hood, which later began to be called a sweatshirt. In any portrait of Tolstoy, he is wearing a wide shirt with long sleeves - seemingly ordinary clothing of a Russian peasant, not at all similar to a modern sweatshirt. It became significant that at the end of the 19th century the populists began to dress in just such shirts, imitating the count. And these people called themselves Tolstoyans. Therefore, these shirts received a second new and significant name - a sweatshirt, which firmly entered the lexicon much later.
And in the 70s, a trail of modified hoodies surfaced in the West, where urban youth, painting on fences and riding boards, adopted them as an attribute of their style, which resembled sportswear. So there is much more in common between Lev Nikolaevich and hip-hop than it might seem at first glance.
Sweatshirt
What many call a sweater is actually a sweatshirt. This is a lightweight sweatshirt that is both warm and flexible. Remember the first Rocky movie? Stallone ran around dawn Philadelphia wearing a sweatshirt pulled over a hoodie, fought in it, washed in it, and shaved in it. Comfortable, practical clothes for all occasions.
In the twenties of the last century, the son of the owner of a lingerie factory, Benjamin Russell, became too hot to play football, and he complained about it to his father. My father, without thinking twice, began producing loose-fitting cotton shirts that easily absorbed sweat and did not interfere with movement. It is unknown who came up with the name, who thought of putting together the words sweat and shirt. After this realization, wearing a “sweaty shirt” becomes somehow not very pleasant. It’s good that it’s “shirt” and not “shit”.
How to distinguish a sweatshirt from its fellows? Yes, very simple. First of all, it does not have any fasteners, pockets or hoods. Only 4 holes into which you need to put your arms, torso and head.
In addition, there must be a triangular insert under the round neckline for the head. This is a trace of a purely sports past, because previously it served to absorb sports sweat and make it easier to put on. Today it will still absorb your secretions properly, but if you are so wet, then it is better to consult a doctor.
An obligatory attribute is elastic on the cuff and waistband. If not elastic, then corrugated fabric. Again, they serve for the convenience of performing sports exercises.
But the most important difference, which not all men can appreciate (we rarely touch the fabric and look at its underside), is the material. The sweatshirt is made from thick cotton jersey with a characteristic uneven backing (sometimes brushed).
Having transformed over the years from athletic wear to everyday wardrobe staples, the sweatshirt has now become a cornerstone of casual style. If you want, wear it with, if you want, with a leather jacket, if you want, with sweatpants. It goes with everything, except perhaps a tailcoat.
Hoodie
Hoodie is not an Irish surname or even an insult. This is the type of clothing that you, in your ignorance, call a “hoodie.” In general, those who are fluent in English could have guessed this, because in English “hood” is a hood. And the famous robber in green tights, Robert from Loxley, received his nickname precisely because of his memorable robber attribute.
A hoodie can be confused with an anorak - a light jacket with a hood, also worn over the head. Especially if the hoodie has large kangaroo pockets in front, and the lacing is dangling on the hood. But a hoodie is not a jacket, it's a sweatshirt with a hood, is it difficult to remember?
Sweatshirts with a hood were not remembered for a very long time, until the 1970s. Previously, the hood was the preserve of monks, but hip-hop pulled it out of oblivion and made it a necessary attribute of urban culture. Since then, all skinny skaters have had at least one hoodie in their wardrobe.
The hoodie is perfect. Thanks to the soft material, a comfortable body temperature is maintained. Therefore, you can wear a sweatshirt under a coat in winter, under a light jacket in spring, and even take it with you in summer in case it gets cold at night.
Longsleeve
Longsleeve, if you delve deeper into linguistics, is translated as “long sleeve”. That is, it is nothing more than a long-sleeved T-shirt. For example, long-sleeve T-shirts worn by football players can easily be called long sleeves. This can be either an attribute of sportswear or underwear worn under a shirt or sweater.
You can wear it all year round, at any age, regardless of body type: thin as a pole or as fat as... choose the comparisons yourself so that we cannot offend you. It is on long sleeves that prints with the names of govnar and not so bands are applied; sweatshirts and other clothes with long sleeves are used less. This is probably why there is an opinion that they look best with jeans.
It is quite easy to distinguish them from their counterparts, because they, like T-shirts, are made of thin fabric and, as a rule, have a round neckline. A long sleeve is similar to a sweater, but with a slightly narrower waist. Some retailers and manufacturers use the term longsleeve to refer to a long-sleeved sweater.
Pullover
Pullover (not to be confused with “pullover” - a fitness exercise) is a knitted or knitted, often tight-fitting garment without fasteners with a V-neck.
This wardrobe item got its name due to the method of putting it on oneself - “pull over” translates as “to pull from above”, “to put on from above”. Otherwise you won’t be able to put it on, there are no buttons. Although the main feature of the pullover, which distinguishes it from other knitted sweaters, is not the buttons, but the V-neck.
Initially, pullovers were worn only by men, mainly athletes, because pullovers were practical, did not cost much and were incredibly comfortable. It was only later, closer to the 20s of the last century, that they migrated to the everyday wardrobe. Coco Chanel even tried to force pullovers on women, but it didn’t work - this attribute is still more associated with men who thought of putting them on a shirt and tie. Therefore, many consider a pullover to be an attribute of a working, business style, not realizing that you can put it on (if it doesn’t prick, otherwise you can go crazy from the itching) on a naked body and combine it with anything suitable. Although even so, the pullover smacks of a business stereotype.
Jumper
Any normal guy thinks that a pullover and a jumper are the same thing. But no, the jumper has a round collar, how can it be a pullover? The gate is round! Otherwise, everything is the same.
The clothing also has sporting roots - it was the clothing of track and field athletes. Some athletes like to jump into the sand and over the crossbar, so the name comes from the English “jumper” - “jumper”. After the 50s of the 20th century, everyone began to wear a jumper, even women. Jumper is the most common type of knitted clothing; it is a sweater without a collar and with a round neckline.
Sweater
We refer to everything that is connected. From woolen threads, of course. But of course, things can't be that simple. A sweater is a knitted garment without fastenings with a high collar. High, not low. If it is below 3 cm, that’s it, it’s a jumper.
The origin of the word is the same sweaty as that of a sweatshirt: from the English “to sweat” - “to sweat”. The thing is that the sweater found its first mass consumption at the end of the 19th century in Europe as clothing for weight loss. Doctors recommended exercising in a sweater, which, by increasing sweating, promoted fat burning. Soon it was appreciated by the sailors who were always freezing in the Atlantic,
which turned out to be a nicer sweater than a scarf fluttering in the wind.
At the beginning of the 20th century, sweaters became widespread as sportswear for winter sports: skiing, skating; and only then it became part of the military uniform of many countries for pilots, sailors and submariners. Wear it however you want, with whatever you want, even skiing, or transporting parcels on a plywood airplane.
By the way, in addition to the collar (which must be there), the sweater also differs in its composition. Everything is as we thought - it is always knitted.
Turtleneck
But do not confuse the sweater with a turtleneck, which is also called “banlon” or “badlon” - after the brand of synthetic fiber Ban-Lon. A turtleneck, unlike a sweater, is made of lighter fabric; it itself is not so thick and necessarily tight-fitting. If it doesn't fit, it means you bought a size larger.
A turtleneck is a universal thing that you can wear to work and to the theater. It will particularly solemnly and impressively emphasize the sharpness of your bones, or will pull away the fat that is bursting out. It can be worn with a jacket or even a cardigan.
But once upon a time it was a symbol of brave divers (after whom it received its name - they wore it under a diving suit), athletes, as well as young and wealthy aristocrats who could afford it. Since those times, not only this has changed, but also the material - it has become more durable, elastic and wrinkle-resistant.
Sweater
In everyday use, we call everything listed above the simple word “jacket”. But in fact, the difference between them and the jacket is about the same as between Hugh Laurie and Alexander Pankratov-Cherny. A jacket is an exclusively knitted garment fastened from top to bottom with a zipper in the front.
Once upon a time, the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt wore great-grandmother sweaters. Of course, she looked completely different. And already from the 18th century, Scottish and Irish sailors wore it to keep warm in the cold northern seas. Of course, it became warmer, denser, collars began to be added to it, and now it is quite difficult to imagine a jacket as a summer attribute.
They wear sweaters everywhere and with everything in the world. It depends more on the knitting and color. The main thing is not to confuse it with a cardigan. At first glance it looks the same, but it’s not that simple.
Cardigan
A cardigan is a product of a sweater, its thread is from a thread. The main difference is that while a jacket can be buttoned with anything, a cardigan can only be buttoned. If it has a zipper, it's not a cardigan.
Another main distinguishing feature is the deep collarless neckline. If the parade of buttons ends at the throat, then it's a jacket.
The cardigan received its beautiful name not in honor of the Swedish group with a beautiful vocalist, but in honor of Count Cardigan, who, according to legend, invented this type of sweater solely for the sake of warming the personnel of His Imperial Majesty's troops. The cardigan is more of a follower of the casual style, smoothly flowing into the classics. It is appropriate to wear a tie underneath, classic shoes, and trousers ironed to a crease. Although it looks just as appropriate with jeans, a T-shirt and sneakers.
SWEATSHIRT -This is a jacket made of thick knitwear, worn over underwear .The main purpose is to help retain heat. Today, a sweatshirt is one of the most common types of insulating clothing in cold weather.
A sweatshirt is a very practical type of clothing. In addition to the fact that it retains heat perfectly, the knitted fabric from which sweatshirts are sewn tends to stretch only in width, but not in length. This is why the sweatshirt lasts so long. In today's world, a sweatshirt is one of the most popular clothing items for everyone, both men, women and children.
What is a sweatshirt?
Initially, a “sweatshirt” was a spacious, long, sometimes thickly ruffled men’s shirt made from a variety of plain-dyed fabrics, worn untucked under a belt or with a belt.
In Russia, the great Russian writer L.N. Tolstoy liked to wear such a loose shirt . And this first product was sewn by the classic’s wife Sofya Andreevna, who very carefully monitored her husband’s image. This shirt subsequently became widespread among the writer’s fans and followers. In its original form, such a shirt, began to be called by the name of L. N. Tolstoy - “sweatshirt” . So, while walking along Yasnaya Polyana, the classic man wore his great-grandfather’s “sweatshirt” untucked. What is a "sweatshirt"? ABOUT! This is another parallel story of the “hoodie” and more on that later!
Gradually, the “sweatshirts” changed - the cut became more consistent with the “jacket”, the belt disappeared, the length shortened, and trapezoidal pockets appeared in front. But the most important thing is that the sweatshirt began to be made exclusively from knitted fabric! Accordingly, its purpose changed - the sweatshirt began to be used as warm clothing. But one thing remains unchanged - spaciousness and free fit. It creates such a voluminous appearance that it may also be why it’s called a “sweatshirt”!
Is a sweatshirt a garment for women or men?
For a long time, even after the modifications that took place, sweatshirts were still the subject of male attention. But now, as modern clothing, thanks to their convenience and practicality, they have filled both women's and children's wardrobes.
And now the Sweatshirt is a universal unisex item! Originally created for men, today it is also popular among women. The classic sweatshirt is the gray model. This color best conveys the soft volume of the jersey from which the sweatshirt is made. In addition to simple and laconic sweatshirt models, manufacturers also produce decorated sweatshirts. For decoration, stripes, logos, embroidery, as well as all kinds of prints and ornaments are used.
How and from what are sweatshirts made?
The main materials for the production of sweatshirts are “fleece” and “footer”:
- FLEECE— knitted polyester fabric with or without brushing and density from 180 to 450 g/m²;
- FOOTER — knitted fabric made of cotton with polyester or viscose with lycra with density from 180 to 600 g/m²; It can be two- or three-strand.
Silk-screen printing, thermal printing, embroidery and pigment printing are used to decorate footer products. For fleece products, only embroidery, thermal printing, sublimation and several types of thermal printing are suitable. Silk-screen printing for fleece sweatshirts is not used due to the specific nature of the fabric.
The technology of sewing sweatshirts is subject to all the rules for working with knitted fabric. When cutting out finished products from knitted fabric, be sure to take into account the fact that the finished sweatshirt should stretch in width and should not stretch in length. To sew a sweatshirt, special equipment is used to work with knitted fabric: overlock- for sewing the seams of the product, cover stitch machine- for processing hems.
Varieties and another history of origin!
By appearance, sweatshirts are divided into 2 main types, depending on the presence or absence of parts and elements Sweatshirt and Hoodie:
Sweatshirt 
The history of the sweatshirt or American sweatshirt, began a good hundred years ago, when the son of the famous entrepreneur Ben Russell, specializing in the production of children's and women's underwear, became interested in American football. He complained to his father that he was not very comfortable training in a woolen sweater, as was customary at that time all over America. It is worth saying that the branded underwear for ladies, something like an additional dress made of dense soft cotton, which was produced by Russell’s company, enjoyed particular success on the market at that time. Without thinking twice, he decided to sew sweaters for his son’s team from a similar material.
The result was a model similar to a T-shirt, jacket, sweater, shirt. One company employee combined the two words “sweater” and “shirt” to create the famous name. With the active development of sports style, the sweatshirt has become widespread among young people and has become an integral attribute of urban sports fans - roller skaters, skateboarders, cyclists. Thanks to their convenience, sweatshirts gradually moved from sports to everyday wear. They gained their popularity in the eighties. And now they are experiencing another peak in fashion.
So: Sweatshirt (from English. Sweatshirt; Sweat - sweat, Shirt - shirt)
- This is a loose fit knitted sweater without a zipper and a kangaroo style belly pocket, made from solid knitted fabric and with cuffs on the sleeves and hem. Comes with a hood.
Under the collar line in the center there is a triangle, which is formed by two seams intersecting each other.Now it is purely decorative, but previously a lining of corrugated material was inserted into the area of this triangle so that the sweat flowing from the neck would not wet the entire sweatshirt, but would be absorbed into this triangle. Also, the main feature of the sweatshirt is the round neckline. 
Hoodie
Hoodie (from the English Hood - hood) - This is a jacket made of knitted fabric with a zipper with an anorak hood and large patch pockets. This hood, unlike the usual one, has a front stand that protects the neck and part of the face from the wind.
Sweatshirt is not a deputy Enima for those who lead an active lifestyle! In cool and especially frosty seasons, people of all ages still prefer a sports style of clothing!
What and how to call correctly, what names are more familiar to us?
What is another name for a long sleeve T-shirt?
What is longsleeve?
What is the difference between a jacket and a sweater, jumper and half-overa?
What is badlon?
What do a trowel and a sweatshirt have in common? Or is it the same thing?
Did you have a rugby jacket?
It all started when I decided to write a post about another blouse I sewed... and got stuck on the title of the post... That I sewed a long sleeve or long sleeve T-shirt? For me, in general, this is a blouse.. but it’s not at all like that..
I suggest you look into it and find out a lot of interesting things for you!
T-shirt. Everything here is simple for me and can be read on Wikipedia -
T-shirt - an item of clothing, usually without buttons, collar or pockets, with short sleeves, covering the torso.
The T-shirt is pulled over the head.Her sleeves usually reach mid-shoulder.
T-shirt with long sleeves. (pictured is a short sleeve T-shirt and a long sleeve T-shirt)
As the name suggests, it’s the same T-shirt, only it has long sleeves :)
Borrowed word - longsleeve.
I found this description:
Longsleeve is a borrowed word and translated from English means long - long, sleeve - sleeve, and all together - a long-sleeved T-shirt.
The term itself refers to clothing that resembles a T-shirt, but with long sleeves. This could be training clothes, underwear worn under a shirt in winter, etc.
They also say about long sleeve T-shirts - Sweatshirt , but as I understand it, not every long-sleeve T-shirt can be called a sweatshirt.. But the term sweatshirt is present in the GOST classification.. that’s why you often find labels with the word sweatshirt, which is a little funny for us now :)
Wikipedia tells us that: sweatshirt - mainly warm underwear that covers the torso and arms. According to the current GOST, a sweatshirt can have both long and short sleeves, and can be made of light, including synthetic, fabric. Thus, by the definition of “sweatshirt,” GOST also means a T-shirt, and in practice, a light sweatshirt is often called T-shirt with long sleeves.
The word sweatshirt has several interpretations, but for some reason this one has especially taken root among modern people: “Quilted cotton jacket; padded jacket." But in both Ushakov’s dictionary and Ozhegov’s dictionary there is another one - “A warm knitted shirt without sleeves or with sleeves, worn down for warmth or worn on top.”
If the sleeve of a T-shirt, long sleeve or sweatshirt is cut out together with the shoulder part of the front and back, they also say - raglan .
But, based on Wikipedia, raglan is not a type of clothing, but a type of sleeve cut, so calling a long-sleeve T-shirt raglan is not very correct...
Raglan is a type of cut for a clothing sleeve, in which the sleeve is cut out together with the shoulder part of the front (front) and back of the product.
I have a question: what is the best name for this type of clothing, so that everyone can understand it?
T-shirt with long sleeves? a bit long... but everything is clear to everyone :)
Or maybe everyone is already more accustomed to long sleeves? Although many are not yet accustomed to this name...
A couple more interesting terms: turtleneck, banlon (badlon), beatlovka, golf
If the terms turtleneck and golf are familiar and recognizable to us, then banlon and beatlovka are something new for me personally.
Based on Wikipedia materials
Turtleneck (banlon, beatlovka, golf) - a thin, tight-fitting sweater with a collar that covers the neck. The name comes from the fact that this item of clothing was worn by divers under a diving suit.
In the 1960-1980s, the word “banlon” (as well as the distorted “badlon” and “bodlon”) was also used dialectically, presumably derived from the name of the brand of polyamide synthetic fiber Bonlon.
It can have a knitted or knitted texture and is used as both casual and festive wear.
A jacket is a piece of woolen knitted clothing for the upper body with a fastener from bottom to top in the front. The jacket became the basis for the appearance of other items of shoulder knitted clothingsweaters, pullovers, jumpers, jackets. It is worth noting that even if a jacket has a high, buttoned collar, it is more correct to call it a jacket rather than a sweater.
I found another description: A jacket is one of the elements of woolen knitted clothing with a front fastener along the entire height of the product. A jacket as a type of clothing has been popular for many centuries. They were worn in Europe as early as the 13th century as an insulating layer of clothing. Sweaters and pullovers appeared later, and the jacket can safely be called their ancestor
What is the difference between a jacket, a sweater, a half-over, a jumper?
Let's turn to Wikipedia again...
Sweater(English sweater from to sweat - “to sweat”, plural sweaters, sweaters are acceptable) - a piece of knitted clothing for the upper body without fasteners, with long sleeves and a characteristic high two- or three-layer collar that fits the neck. A sweater is knitted from thick or medium-thick wool or wool blend yarn on knitting needles or crocheted, less often on knitting machines
That is, a sweater is a jacket without fasteners.
Pullover(English) . pull over - pull from above, put on from above) - a knitted shoulder product worn over the head. In fact, a type of V-neck jumper that fits tightly to the figure.
So, semi-ver, this is no longer knitted clothing? Right? And the half-heaven has a V-neck?
Jumper
For example: jumper
(from the English jumper - “jumper”) - a type of sweater; knitted or knitwear without neck, worn over the head. Can be male, female and children's. Neck: round or square.
Fastener: usually absent, but there may be buttons or a zipper at the neck, no more than 10 cm long.
Materials: wool, cotton, acrylic, cashmere or mixed yarn, knitted fabric.
The same red blouse can be a jumper if it is made of interlock?
Or does this product look more like a jumper? For example, from knitted jersey, from angora?
Body shirt
1. Body shirt - a men's outer shirt or a women's blouse with a fastener on the placket... (Modern explanatory dictionary of the Russian language by Efremova)
2. Body shirt - a fitted shirt or jacket with a turn-down collar and a fastener on the placket. … (Ozhegov’s Explanatory Dictionary)
To be honest, I imagined a completely different product...
And how are you? What do you mean by the word batch file?
Sweatshirt.
Wikipedia tells us that sweatshirt (known in the world as English.Tolstoy blouse, Tolstoy shirt or fr. blouse à la Tolstoï) is a type of clothing named after the writer L.N. Tolstoy, although the writer himself wore a kosovorotka - a shirt without a hood.
Initially, a “sweatshirt” was a spacious, long, sometimes thickly ruffled men’s shirt made from a variety of plain-dyed fabrics, worn untucked. Having become widespread among fans and followers of L.N. Tolstoy, the cut and use of sweatshirts have undergone significant changes, and as modern clothing, a “sweatshirt” is a blouse made of thick knitwear, worn over underwear. The main purpose is to help retain heat. Hoodies include both long sleeves and vests. Today, a sweatshirt is one of the most common types of insulating clothing in cold weather.
The following materials are used to produce sweatshirts:
fleece - knitted polyester fabric with or without fleece with a density of 180 to 450 g/m²; and footer
- knitted fabric made of cotton with polyester or viscose with lycra with a density of 180 to 600 g/m²; It can be two- or three-strand.
Did you know that the sweatshirt is named after the writer L.N. Tolstoy? Me not:))
If a product is made of footer (two-thread or three-thread) and does not have fasteners, is it also called a sweatshirt?
For example this?
The definition of a sweatshirt includes the definition of a blouse. I suggest you clarify what a blouse is?
Material from Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia
Blouse (from the French Blouson - jacket) - women's light clothing made of thin fabric in the form of a short, fitted shirt. The blouse contains sleeves, collar and cuffs. It is often fastened with buttons, but there are also tunic-like blouses.
Blouse - a loose shirt worn without a belt. Clothes for both men and women.
Kangaroo. Kangaroo
Kangaroo is a type of sweatshirt that has a hood and a large patch pocket. This type of clothing received its name by analogy with Australian marsupials, which carry their young in special pockets. These types of clothing are worn over the head and do not have fasteners.
Recently, the following products have become popular: hoodies, sweatshirts, bomber jackets. All these are also types of sweatshirts.
Sweatshirt – a sweatshirt without zippers or straps with a pocket at stomach level.
Initially, a sweatshirt was part of a sports uniform; athletes wore it before and after training, as well as during breaks between them. The purpose of the sweatshirt was to absorb sweat and prevent the body from getting too cold.
Some interesting things :)
The first sweatshirts were made from special knitwear produced on a circular knitting machine (loopwheel cotton). Such machines worked very slowly and produced only a meter of fabric per hour. But due to the fact that the cotton threads were not subjected to unnecessary tension, the fabric was very soft, thick and durable, and the item did not shrink after washing, as was the case with the first sweatshirts. You can still find perfectly preserved sweatshirts made in the 40s to 60s in the USA. Most of those machines have long been written off, but some companies are still trying to produce sweatshirts using old technologies, mainly in Japan.
Under the collar line in the center there is a triangle, which is formed by two seams intersecting each other. Now it is purely decorative, but previously a lining of corrugated material was inserted into the area of this triangle so that the sweat flowing from the neck would not wet the entire sweatshirt, but would be absorbed into this triangle. Also, the main feature of the sweatshirt is the round neckline. Sweatshirts can have pockets (welt or kangaroo), as well as a hood.
Hoodie – long jacket with a hood. The hoodie is slightly longer than standard sweatshirts - usually its length is about 70 cm (it slightly covers the hips).
Material from Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia.
A hoodie (English hoodie, from the English hood - “hood”) is an analogue of a sweatshirt (sweatshirt) made of soft cotton jersey, with an anorak hood (having a front stand that protects from the wind). Characteristic elements are large front patch pockets and a hood.
Bomber – a sweatshirt with a zipper and a stand-up collar.
We managed to find this interesting information (See more details here)
Rugby jackets (they are also calledcollege jackets, bomber sweatshirts or American sweatshirts ) appeared in the USA in the mid-twentieth century, and became popular in the seventies and eighties among American college students. Hence the name - "college jacket". Another name, “rugby jacket,” suggests that this type of clothing is associated with American football.
Indeed, college students often wore American college jackets embroidered with the rugby team they supported and, by extension, their home university.
College jackets, whether men's or women's, have the same style. A distinctive feature of this type of clothing: the sleeves are usually made in one color, and the bomber sweatshirt itself is made in another. The college jacket is also distinguished by a clasp in the form of metal buttons and the presence of pockets. Inscriptions with university logos on American sweatshirts were originally made using embroidery, but now other options for applying images are available: for example, printing using thermal film. The bomber sweatshirt with a letter on the chest has become something of a classic. A classic option is a red or blue rugby jacket with gray sleeves.
A sweatshirt is a piece of clothing... But what am I telling you, we all know perfectly well what a sweatshirt is. Here is a typical representative of the Tolstovy family. By the way, it’s quite cute, I bought it.
But have any of you ever wondered why it is called a “hoodie”? Because it is made of thick, dense material? Almost. Because she's free? Warmer. But why not “freedom” or something else? But because the “sweatshirt” is named after none other than the well-known Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy. Cool, right? It is worth noting that Lev Nikolaevich himself did not wear a sweatshirt. And he wore a Kosovorotka. Kosovorotka - a shirt with an oblique collar (the captain suggests), that is, with a slit on the side, and not in the middle, like regular shirts. The cut on the side of the blouse, according to Academician Likhachev, was created specifically so that the pectoral cross would not fall out during work (Wikipedia). Clearly understood.
So, according to Wikipedia,A “sweatshirt” is a spacious, long, sometimes thickly ruffled men’s shirt made from a variety of plain-dyed fabrics, worn untucked. Having become widespread among fans and followers of L.N. Tolstoy, the cut and use of sweatshirts have undergone significant changes, and as modern clothing, a “sweatshirt” is a blouse made of thick knitwear, worn over underwear. The main purpose is to help retain heat. Hoodies include both long sleeves and vests. Today, a sweatshirt is one of the most common types of insulating clothing in cold weather.
Let's look at Lev Nikolaevich and his contemporaries.
Let's go back to our time. With the active development of sports style, the sweatshirt has become widespread among young people and has become an integral attribute of urban sports fans - roller skaters, skateboarders, cyclists. Lev Nikolaevich would be surprised!
But wait, in bourgeois countries there are also analogues - Hoodie, Anorak, for example. Let's figure it out. Hoodie - (English Hood - hood) an analogue of a sweatshirt (sweatshirt) made of soft cotton jersey, with an anorak hood. Characteristic elements include large front patch pockets and a hood. The first wave of popularity of this type of clothing was the late 1970s, when hip-hop culture was rapidly developing in New York. An Anorak is a light windproof jacket with a hood, worn over the head. The name comes fromInuit catch, denoting clothing similar in cut. The Inuit made anorak from dense waterproof materials, but now such dense anoraks are rather rare
To sum it up, I dare to suggest that that same Tolstoy sweatshirt is the mother of all sweatshirts. Lev Nikolaevich would be surprised!
