South Coast Full Circle Hoodie

The South Coast Original Hoodie is the classic hoodie where is all started, this hoodie is at home at the mall or down on the farm, beach or wherever your leisure time takes you.

THE HOODIE

A hoodie: In some cases it is also spelled hoody and also known as a hooded sweatshirt, is a sweatshirt with a hood. Hoodies with zippers usually include 2 pockets on the lower front, one on either side of the zipper, while “pullover” hoodies (without zippers) often include a single large muff or pocket in the same location. Both styles (usually) include a drawstring to adjust the hood opening. When worn up, the hood covers most of the head and neck and sometimes the face. Hoodies may be worn for protection against the environment (cold weather, rain, etc.)

The “Hoodies on Parliament—politicians challenge youth stereotypes” campaign was launched in May 2008 as part of the annual national Youth Week event, a pro-youth initiative organised to challenge youth stereotypes. To launch the campaign, NZ politicians, including National MP Nicky Wagner, Green Party MPs Sue Bradford, Nandor Tanczos and Metiria Turei, and Maori party MP Hone Harawira, wore hoodies while standing on the steps of parliament. Archbishop David Moxon, Archbishop of the Anglican Dioceses, and Brian Turner President of the Methodist Church of NZ also participated in the campaign.

Support and criticism were raised by politicians, who were divided over the 2008 event. One strong response was drawn from a local government council member, Dale Evans, who donned a KKK outfit in protest, citing the hoodie as “not an appropriate article of clothing to celebrate.”

“Goodie in a Hoodie” day was then run in 2009 by NZ Adolescent Health and Development (NZAAHD) in partnership with Age Concern—the organisations used the campaign to highlight the stereotypes that both young people and the elderly face in NZ. Liz Baxendine, president of Age Concern at the time, said to the media:

“Older people and young people have a lot in common. We both face stereotypes based on our age rather than our real achievements and outlook on life … we’ve got to destigmatise the hoodie and see it for what it is. Everyone wears them. We need to take the hoodie back”
