Sweatshot - What is it?
Sweatshot is one of the many species of COFT, which is something intermediate between the sweatshirt and sweater. This term has occurred from the merge of the English Words Sweater (Sweater) and Shirt (Shirt).
Sweets usually produce from the same materials as sweatshirts, as well as other sportswear. Most often it is a dense knitwear or polyester.
Sweatshoes are both monophonic and multicolored or decorated with any prints. Sweets are in great demand with symbols of prestigious educational institutions, sports teams, as well as simply models with a bright pattern depicting, for example, animals or cartoon characters. Popular sweatshoes with a variety of inscriptions and quotes in foreign languages.
This garment can be part of both sports and everyday wardrobe. It looks great not only with training pants and sneakers, but also with jeans, trousers and skirts of different styles.
Key features
So, what does a typical sweatshot look like? Here are some major signs for which you can identify this object of clothing:
- Direct silhouette, free cut;
- dense, well-stretching fabric, often with puff;
- rounded shape cutout neck with edging;
- Long sleeves with cuffs, often having the form "Raglan";
- Elastic gum on the belt;

If you see a jacket with all the features listed above, then most likely is a sweatshirt. About how to distinguish his sweaters, Long Sleep and other similar things, we will tell you more in more detail, but so far you will briefly acquaint you with the history of the appearance of a sweatshirt.
The generally accepted is the same version: the first similarity of the modern sweatshirt was invented in the 20s of the last century, as an alternative to a woolen sweater. It happened in the United States, in one of the towns of the Southern State of Alabama. Player's father of the local university football team, who owns a sewing factory, created a long sleeve knitted sweater for his son, who was uncomfortable to train in a warm, barbed sweater.
The idea quickly gained distribution, and over the next few years most of the football teams of the South, and then the rest of the country, moved to a new training form. The creator of the sweatshirt soon founded his own trademark of sportswear called Russell Athletic.

What is different from the sweatshirt?
Sweatshot is most often confused with a sweatshirt. This is quite predictable, as these wardrobe elements have quite a lot in common. We tried to give you as a complete idea as possible about what is a sweatshirt. Now let's deal with how the sweatshirt looks like and how to distinguish it from the sweat.
The sweatshirt received its name in honor of the great Russian writer, and under this name (in different variations), it is known in many countries of the world. Sweatshirt is a clothing in a sporty style with long sleeves and large pockets. The sweatshirt is often fastened with a zipper, has a hood or collar closing the throat.
Sweat sweatshirts from elastic tissues based on cotton, such as a fututor or knitwear. The function of the insulation is performed by fleece, polartek, artificial fur or other similar materials.
Thus, the difference between the sweatshirt and sweatshirt consists of the following paragraphs:
- The sweatshirt refers to clothing for sports, and a sweatshot - to everyday;
- The sweatshirt can have a hood, collar, pockets and fasteners, and the sweatshot these elements are missing;
- The sweatshirt is sewn only from the "sports" tissues, and the sweatshot can be made almost from any material.
Differences from Long Sliva
Another object of the wardrobe, which is difficult to distinguish with a sweatshirt - it is Longsl. Translated from English the phrase Long Sleeve means "long sleeve". Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that Longslies is a long sleeve sweater.
Other features of Longweight are:
- Thin, elastic sewing material;
- Round neckline;
- Dental silhouette.
If the sweatshift resembles a sweater or a sweatshirt, then Longsliza is rather a T-shirt with a long, narrow sleeve.
The main difference between these two things consists in the features of the cut (in the sweatshirt it is, as a rule, direct or free) and in the tissue from which the product is sewn (sweatshoes can be insulated, and the lanesliva is always easy).
What is the difference from the sweater, the jumper and pullover?
In addition to sweatshirts and long-grade, with whom the sweatshirt is indeed quite similar, many often determine this type of clothing as a sweater, jumper or pullover.
The sweater is a knitted jacket with a long sleeve and a gate, but without fasteners. Accordingly, the difference between the sweater and the sweatshirt consists in the material (sweatshoes are made of fabric, and not from yarn) and in the presence / absence of a collar. In addition, the sweater can have any silhouette - free, straight, fitted or fitting. Sweatwood looks like this.
The jumper is one of the types of sweaters, which is distinguished by the absence of a collar and any fasteners. Jumpers are knitted and knitted. They can have a round, triangular or straight cutout. As a rule, the jumpers have standard length, straight or fitted silhouette. Sweetshot looks like this.
Pullover is a close relative of the sweater and the jumper. It is knitted and knitted. Pullovers have no fasteners and collars, and the shape of the neckline is usually triangular. The pullover can be worn both by itself and complete with a shirt or blouse. Most pullovers tightly fit the figure, because initially this clothing was intended to protect against wind. Sweatshot is presented in the photo below.
We have already talked a lot about different types of COFT, but have not yet dealt with the question of what clothes can be considered a shirt. Indeed, the jacket is a fairly wide concept that includes many varieties of wardrobe items.
The word "sweater" is usually called clothing for the upper half of the body. Many believe that the jacket must be fastened for buttons or zippers, but a variety of turtlenecks, blouses, jumpers and sweaters are also often attributed to this category, and the list of such things is constantly updated. Sweets can also be considered one of the types of COFF.
The cardigan initially had more common with jackets and jackets than with sweatshirts, but over time he began to get more and more to a long sweatshirt with two sides. In addition to the elongated silhouette, the cardigan distinguishes the straight cut and the absence of a collar. Cardigans do not have to be fastened for buttons: many models are carrying out, or with a strap.
It is almost impossible to confuse the sweatshot with the cardigan, since the sweatshoes have a one-piece housing and a length not lower than the middle of the hips. Cardigans can be very long - to the ankle.
What is different from Hoody?
The last type of clothing, which is worth mentioning in connection with a sweatshirt is Hoody. This wonderful word is called one of the varieties of hoodies. Its name happened from the English word Hood, meaning the "hood".
Obviously, the key feature of Hood is the presence of a hood. In addition, Hoodies features an elongated silhouette - it should cover the hips. Due to the comfortable length and insulation lining, Hoodies are often worn as outerwear even enough cool days. Sweetshot goes without a hood and models look as follows.
So, in contrast to the sweatshirt, Hoody:
- Always has a hood or bulk collar-claw;
- can be fastened with zipper or velcro;
- may be insulated with artificial fur;
- Has an elongated silhouette.
We examined in detail the features and varieties of sweets, and also told you about the differences of this item of the wardrobe from other similar things with fashionable names.
We hope that this information will be useful for you and help make the right choice.
