MANILA, Philippines - With cool weather ahead, the hoodie is hot, hot, hot at the Surplus Shop. Long associated with the youth culture, it has since become part of urban mainstream fashion — combining anonymity and attitude with good old-fashioned utilitarianism.
Taking off from the hip-hop culture of the 1970s, hooded jackets have since been glamorized by designers like Norma Kamali; made iconic by the blockbuster film Rocky; embraced by skateboarders, surfers and university students; and become a primary component in the collections of designers Tommy Hilfiger, Giorgio Armani, and Ralph Lauren in the 1990s.
At the Surplus Shop, hooded jackets come in cool stripes, flirty floral prints and pretty paisleys with statements and logos as well as fur trims for cooler weather. Have fun mixing, matching and layering these hip hoodies with Surplus Shop’s other fab finds: fun and fab tees, flirty skirts, chic shorts, and utilitarian pants.
The hooded jacket collection is available at Surplus Shop stores located at SM Makati, SM Megamall A and B, The Block and the City Center at SM City North-EDSA, SM City Fairview, SM City Manila, SM City Marikina, SM City Bicutan, SM City Sucat, SM City San Lazaro, SM Southmall, and SM Mall of Asia. In the provincial areas, these are located at the SM Supermalls in Taytay, Bacoor, Dasmariñas, Pampanga, Clark, Baguio, Sta. Rosa, Batangas, Lipa, Iloilo, Delgado, Bacolod, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, and Cebu.
