Baja Hoodies

Baja Hoodies and Baja Jackets

The Baja hoodie is a hooded pullover made from the typical Mexican striped fabric - coarsely woven, loose-fitting, with a large front kangaroo pocket. In Mexico, it is called a Baja sudadera or Jerga, named after the fabric. In the 1960s, Californian surfers brought it back from Baja California, and it has been a staple ever since.

What makes it special: It keeps you warm without adding bulk, and the coarse fabric becomes softer over the years rather than looking worn out.

Baja Hoodie or Baja Jacket?

The hoodie is pulled over the head and is the classic style. The Baja jacket has a full-length zipper at the front - more practical if you take it on and off often, for example during transitional seasons. We offer both in unisex styles, with some also lined.

How to wear it

Since the striped fabric is already a pattern, it is best to keep the rest simple: solid-color harem pants or straight-cut trousers, paired with a simple shirt. For colder days, we also offer wool ponchos.
