I have always called a light top with a full zipper to be a jacket, however the people I'm surrounded by insist on calling it a sweatshirt. I'm prepared to be wrong, just wondering if I'm the only one.

Check this out dawg - a pullover hoodie is this without a zipper. So this is a -- zippered hoodie.

To be clear, I don't actually refer to it as a "pullover hoodie". I just said that for clarification.

For me,

A hooded sweatshirt without a zipper = hoodie. In my experience, these are often (but not always) more looser fitting.

A hooded article of clothing with a zipper = jacket. In my experience, these are often more form fitting.

First - tone is hard to convey. I think what I said could sound rl douchey if read wrong. I wasn't slamming you.

I understand your point and I think it really its just about where you grew up and what other people call things. I have def called my zip up a jacket.

In this specific case - this is a zipper / zip up hoodie. Or just zip up. But like you aren't breaking any laws by calling it a jacket and people still know what you mean when you call it a jacket - so it doesn't matter at all and you do you

Wear that fuckin jacket dawg.
