Debate between my friends and me! - October 3rd 2011, 11:02 PM

What is the difference between hoodies and jacket? I say hoodies are like sweatshirts with hoods and possibly pockets. A jacket has zippers. My friends say that if it has a hood, doesnt matter if has a zipper or not, its a hoodie. My band teacher agrees with me and my friend's sister agrees with me, but I still want to hear what others think.

I would wear a jacket in the winter, potentially on top of a hoody. Hoodies are typically more light, loose, and not so much for warmth/protection from rain as jackets are.

I think jacket is basically an all-encompassing term, and a hoodie is a specific type of jacket (made of sweatshirt material with a hood).

I think hoodies are made of sweatshirt material i.e. soft, and obviously have a hood.

Jackets can have a hood but are generally more thick, larger, have more mass, and are of different material. Jackets are... You know, jackets .

To me, hoodies are pullover sweatshirts with a hood & a jacket is heavier with a zipper and pockets in the front.

A hoodie is a sweatshirt with a pocket on the front (no zipper) and has a hood. Jackets can be made from the same material or a different material and has a zipper, some jackets have hoods some don't.

To me:
A jacket has a zipper but otherwise is a nondescript definition.
A hoodie is any kind of covering with a hood and is usually flimsy in terms of warmness.

I'd say hoodies are sweatshirts with a hood. Jackets are more something you'd wear in the winter with a hoody, regardless of whether they have a hood or not.

I call a real hoodie a sweatshirt you have to pull over your head, with the big pocket in front and a hood. I call a jacket anything that's semi light with a zipper and two pockets in the side. I call a coat anything heavier than that.


"'Colie, you should never be surprised when people treat you with respect. You should expect it.'
I shook my head. 'You don't know--' I began. But, as usual, she didn't let me finish.
'Yes,' she said simply, 'I do know. I've watched you, Colie. You walk around like a dog waiting to be kicked. And when someone does, you pout and cry like you didn't deserve it.'
'No one deserves to be kicked,' I said.
'I disagree,' she said flatly. 'You do if you don't think you're worth any better...'"

A hoodie is a sweatshirt/jumper that you have to pull over you head, it has a hood.
A jacket has a zip and can come with hood or no hood.
Well, in my opinion anyway!

But what if it's a zip and hood? Personally I still consider that a hoody.

A hoody can either be a small light weight jacket. Or a sweatshirt with a hood and pockets.

If it has a hood, then it's fine to call it a 'hoodie'. It might also be called a jacket or jumper, but if it has a hood, it is definitely a 'hoodie' as well. When stores have 'no hoodies' signs, they clearly mean you can't wear something with a hood, not you can't wear a specific type of jacket.

I agree with as long as it has a hood than it is a hoodie. A jacket is kind of an undefined term but I think it's more commonly used for zip-ups while the term sweatshirt is used for pull-overs.

A hoodie here is a bad kid :L

A hoodie (as in clothing) is like a cotton/jumper jacket... with a hood.
A jacket is a hoodless coat- or hoodless cotten zipper thing.
A coat is a rainproof or thivk and warm thing, usually with a hood

I'd say a hoodie is a jumper like thing with a hood whereas a jacket is a waterproof thing with or without a hood. That's the defenition my school use when it comes to things like what is acceptable to wear and stuff.

If it has a hood it's a hoody - zipper or not.

This is messing with my mind;
HOODIES HAVE HOODS. EVEN IF THEY HAVE ZIPPERS.
And jackets have no hoods. and they have zippers.

To me, a jacket is something with a zipper. If it has a hood too, it's a jacket. Unless it's baggy. Then it's a hoodie. If it has no zipper and no hood, it's a jumper. No zipper and a hood is a hoodie

Tad off topic, isn't it usually 'friends and I' instead of 'friends and me'

To me jackets are just bigger and warmer than hoodies but other than that there's no difference really

It would make the most sense for a hoody to be the sweatshirt/jacket with hood.

A jacket I think is more for winter, to better keep you warm. Hoodies is for when it's a little chilly.
