Hoodies & Sweatshirts: the number 1 streetwear piece in the modern wardrobe

Step into the world of streetwear hoodies and sweatshirts, the textile piece that defines a generation's wardrobe. From the Supreme Box Logo Hooded Sweatshirt reselling for several hundred euros to the Fear of God Essentials hoodie turned universal uniform of premium streetwear, through the BAPE Shark Hoodie, the Nike Tech Fleece and the NOCTA Drake collabs, the hoodie has become the most shared and most collector textile object of the 2020s. At MTHOR Shop, we curate official drops, limited collabs, seasonal FW pieces and cult hoodies from all the brands that matter — Supreme, Fear of God, BAPE, Nike, Travis Scott, Air Jordan, NOCTA, Yeezy. Every piece is authenticated by our team of experts before shipping.

The story of a classic: from sportswear to universal streetwear

The hoodie was born in 1934 at Champion in the United States, originally designed for workers in the cold warehouses of upstate New York. Adopted then by American universities for their sports teams, it became in the 70s the symbol of a new emerging urban culture — first with New York hip-hop from the Bronx, then with the California skate scene that made it a uniform.

But it's in the 90s and 2000s that the hoodie became the ultimate streetwear object thanks to three foundational brands: Supreme (which invented the drop concept with its Box Logo Hooded Sweatshirt turned the most collector textile object in the world), BAPE (with the iconic Shark Full-Zip Hoodie from A Bathing Ape that defined Japanese streetwear), and Stussy which internationalized the format. In the 2020s, Fear of God Essentials by Jerry Lorenzo revolutionized the segment with its minimalist hoodie turned uniform of an entire generation. Today, the hoodie is everywhere — on Balenciaga runways as in Supreme drops, on Drake as on Travis Scott.

Understanding a streetwear hoodie: weight, fit and fabric

Not all hoodies are created equal. Several technical criteria define a premium hoodie:

The weight first, expressed in GSM (grams per square meter). A standard hoodie is 280-320 GSM, a heavyweight hoodie (Fear of God Essentials, Supreme) reaches 400-500 GSM, and some premium pieces (BAPE Shark, Yeezy Gap) exceed 550 GSM — the higher the weight, the denser, more structured and durable the hoodie. The fabric next: french terry (looped on the inside, lightweight, suited for mid-season), brushed fleece (the reference for winter hoodies, ultra soft), tech fleece (Nike technical material, lightweight and warm), heavy fleece (ultra dense, Fear of God signature).

The fit finally, a generational marker: regular fit (classic fitted cut), oversized (the 2020s signature, hoodie 1-2 sizes up), boxy (square cut, signature Fear of God Essentials and Cactus Plant Flea Market), cropped (short at the waist). The details that make the difference: drawstrings (hood cords) flat vs round, kangaroo pocket (central pocket), ribbed cuffs and hem, metal zip for full-zips, embroidered vs printed vs flocked logos.

FAQ — Hoodies & Sweatshirts at MTHOR

How do you check the authenticity of a streetwear hoodie?

The authenticity of a streetwear hoodie is verified on several criteria: the quality and alignment of the embroidery on the main logo (Box Logo, Essentials, Shark...), the sewn woven label inside with correct production code and season number, the original cardboard tag intact for new pieces with barcode and batch number, the fabric weight and quality matching the official drop (heavyweight, fleece, tech fleece depending on the model), and the quality of technical details (flat drawstrings, quality metal zip, tight ribbed cuffs, thick hood lining). Our team systematically checks each of these elements before shipping. See the full process.

It depends on the brand and fit you're looking for. Fear of God Essentials and Cactus Plant Flea Market hoodies fit oversized boxy by default — take your usual size. Classic Supreme hoodies fit regular — take your size (or +1 if you want oversized). BAPE Shark hoodies generally fit Asian sizing — take +1 or +2 from your European size.
