Is it a sweatshirt or a jacket? - Lemmy.World

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’d call it a “hoodie”.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoodie

A hoodie (in some cases spelled hoody[1] and alternatively known as a hooded garment)[2] is a type of sweatshirt[1] with a hood that partially or fully covers the wearer’s head or face.

Wikipedia says that the zipper can be a defining characteristic:

List of jackets

  • Hoodie, a zippered hooded sweatshirt (non zippered can be considered a sweatshirt only)

That clears things up… this jacket is a zippered hooded sweatshirt.

Wait, that resolves nothing!
