Can you imagine life without hoodies? It's actually hard to remember what we wore before the not-so-humble hoodie arrived.
The hoodie was actually born a surprisingly long time ago, thanks to a company called Champion Products, which started life as the amusingly-named Knickerbocker Knitting Company in 1919. Apparently they created the first ever hoodie, a hooded sweatshirt, during the 1930s. Now hoodies are everywhere, and they make excellent casual wear as well as smart, rugged, practical working gear for every occasion.
