Patchwork Hoodie

Hoodie inspired by traditional Japanese Boro technique.

Boro represents practicality turned into aesthetics. Centuries ago, peasants couldn’t afford to buy new clothes every time their garments wore out; they worked and rested in the same clothes, which meant they often had to repair and reinforce them with patches. The patches on such clothing have a somewhat chaotic appearance due to the need to cover holes and tears wherever they occurred. Any available fabric was used for the patches, creating a unique aesthetic through the combination of different colors and materials. Over time, Boro became more than just peasant clothing; these items gained status as historical pieces and family heirlooms. This technique has become an integral part of Japanese culture and design, inspiring hundreds of traditional ornamental sewing techniques, including sashiko, hizhinasi, kogin, and many other attributes of Japanese style.

The first hoodies appeared in the 1930s as sportswear. Sweatshirts with hoods were created to keep athletes warm during outdoor training in the off-season. The first wave of popularity for this type of clothing came in the late 1970s when hip-hop culture was rapidly developing in New York City.
