The Baja Hoodie was a staple item of clothing worn by surfers along the left coast, especially in California. It was all the rage during the 70’s when people would visit the sunshine state to catch some waves, and return with this wonderful garment as a memento. The roots of this hoodie, however, can be traced back to the 30s as people traveled to Baja Mexico to avoid crowded beaches.

The serape blanket-style pullovers worn by the locals there most probably evolved into the Baja hoodies of today – hence the name. To delve even deeper, credit for the first-ever design could even be given to the Mapuche tribe of South America, who were also responsible for creating the poncho. Either way, the Baja Hoodie has transcended its surfer roots and become a mainstream all-weather item and fashion statement today.

Pop Culture

The Baja Hoodie moved from California and spread to the rest of the United States, not simply because of surf culture, but an increased use in mainstream media. Probably the most famous example of this is Sean Penn sporting one in the famous film ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’. Luke Perry in ‘Beverly Hills 90210’ also sported this piece of clothing to give him the California look. Thanks to hippie communes in Canyon and Topanga and various other spiritual retreats, the Baja soon became a popular item of clothing for people embracing that lifestyle.

1. The Bohemian Spirit of Woodstock: As the emblem of counterculture and free-spirited living, the Baja Hoodie first gained widespread recognition during the iconic Woodstock Music Festival in 1969. With its vibrant colors and laid-back appeal, it perfectly captured the essence of a generation seeking peace, love, and harmony.

2. A Grunge Fashion Staple: The Baja Hoodie made waves once more in the early 1990s, embraced by the grunge movement that took the world by storm. Influential musicians, such as Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder, sported these comfortable and stylish hoodies, solidifying their status as an enduring symbol of alternative fashion.
