A Baja jacket (also known as Baja hoodie, Mexican Threads Hoodie, Baja sweatshirt, or Drug rug) is a type of jacket with a single large pocket on the front, often associated with the cannabis and surf cultures. They are very popular in the Hippie subculture and among fans of post-hair metal. They are known primarily as a "baja hoodie" or "drug rug" because of the genre in which they are popular. They are typically hard to find in stores but can be found online at stores like Mexican Threads. The largest size made is a 3XL and there are also small ones for kids. In the 1970s, California surfers brought these hooded shirts back from surf trips to Baja California, Mexico. They became associated with surfers and surfing in mexican coastal towns, and worn as beachwear in cool weather. The shirts, called "sudadera de jerga" in Mexico, are also traditionally worn by Mexican-American and Mexican youth, especially young men, and can be considered a part of cholo style. Baja Jackets are made with a variety of different materials: often cotton, acrylic, and polyester. The fabric can be made from recycled fibers, such as recycled T-shirts. In recent years, they have been adapted to simply become hoodies with some alterations like a zipper running up the middle. Because the striped pattern resembles a Mexican serape, the Baja Jacket is sometimes referred to as a poncho, but the two should not be confused. A poncho is a single piece of fabric with a head opening and sometimes arm openings. However, a poncho does not have sleeves, whereas the Baja Jacket does have sleeves. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baja jacket」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
