AtFishCat@reddit

We have a number of head shops in the bay area that have clothing sections at the front of the store and bongs in the back.

[-]

They sell these at the Amish market near me in NJ. They also sell cowboy hats there. In New Jersey. The Amish don't really understand there's such a thing as regional culture vs American culture as a whole

[-]

Pretend-Tea86@reddit

There's actually a pretty robust horse scene in NJ, and Cowtown Rodeo in Salem County is in some way shape or form one of the longest-running rodeos in the US (and really fun if you're into rodeo type stuff or are keen on some novelty). Cowboy hats and NJ are not as diametrically opposed as one would think.

Also, cowboy hats (or rancher hats, as mine is) are really purpose built as fuck. They dont dangle in your face like a gardening hat, but they provide abundant shade. A half decent one will last you decades with minimal care, and if it fits right, you forget it's even there.

We went to a ranch this summer for vacation, and a lot of the kids working the ranch wore these hoodies with their sweatpants and cowboy boots and hats on their down time. So I think the Amish are actually on to something. (Also, wow do I miss those markets.)

[-]

New_Stats@reddit

Yep, I live here so I know what happens here. We have more horses than Kentucky

We don't wear cowboy hats. Although the guy who invented the cowboy hat was born in New Jersey. We still don't wear cowboy hats

[-]

SSquirrel76@reddit

Kentucky has 10x the number of horses that Jersey has. There are more horses per square mile but way less total

[-]

tgerz@reddit

Probably the closer you are to Humboldt the more likely. Or maybe further south, but I would think coastal towns mostly.

[-]

eternal_pegasus@reddit

They also sell them at any tourist trap in Mexico

[-]

phdinseagalogy@reddit

I feel like the only place you can buy them is at the fair! In the tent where they also have throwing stars, knives of dubious quality, pillbox hats made of sateen, and a variety of zippo lighters. All sold by a guy who believes 13 year olds when they say they won't tell their parents where the throwing stars and zippos came from!

[-]

Sierra_395@reddit

Do you call them a poncho?

[-]

After_Match_5165@reddit

Yep. We knew what ponchos were, most of us wore them a lot in high school, too, but we still always referred to these as ponchos anyway.

[-]

Hilsam_Adent@reddit

Ponchos are sleeveless and hoodless, basically a gunny sack with arm and head holes. If it has side panels, or also usually has a single-panel pocket/pouch on the front. If it does not, not. Think Clint Eastwood's "Man With No Name" in the Fistful Trilogy.

The Drug Rug is a hoodie that is either zip-up or open-front, usually with pockets, sometimes sewn on the inside. Think Bradley, the stoner kid in 5th period English, with the pooka shell necklace and "quirky hat*.

He is best known for his stinginess with his shitty Mexican stick weed, but only slightly less so for his mystifying ability to pull chicks that are astronomically out of his league! despite being slightly smarter than your average lawnmower and modeling his entire life and personality around hackeysack and quoting Rory Cochrane's Slater from Dazed and Confused.

tl;dr: that ain't no fuckin' poncho.

[-]

CourtAlert8679@reddit

lol, I’ve always called them Baja shirts but that has just been usurped by “Drug Rug.” Having grown up in Southern California in the ‘90s I’m ashamed of how familiar I am with these Bradley archetypes.

[-]

Hilsam_Adent@reddit

I was '80s and early '90s SoCal, so "Bradley" was named either Mike, Matt or Jason, like all of the rest of us and though Dazed and Confused" had yet to come out, those types were still doing "The Slater", though we called it 'The Spicoli". Cochrane just did a way better job than Penn at being that guy*.

[-]

CourtAlert8679@reddit

I assumed “Bradley” was a nod to Bradley Nowell, lol. I feel like the Bradley’s I knew in the mid ‘90s were all either named Nate and Shawn or were referred to by their last name or some dopey nickname

[-]

Hilsam_Adent@reddit

Oh, he was certainly the primary factor in choosing that name. I have a younger cousin that shares the moniker and was absolutely his school's "Bradley", along with his idiot partner-in-crime, laughably named Brock. Peak mid-'90s, as I see it. Though they are both in their early forties now, they're still burnout morons and though I cannot speak to Brock's ability to "score" as he has been married for quite some time now, Bradley is still swimming in punaynay [sic] that is, by all reckoning, way beyond his league.

[-]

Late 80s and early 90s SoCal we all wore them. Ponchos. Not to be confused with the classic Mexican Pancho.

I have one from the early 90s that I still wear sometimes.

GlassJoe32@reddit

Unrelated but that video was hilarious.

[-]

cindergnelly@reddit

Baja was the only name that I knew them by.

[-]

FigureFourWoo@reddit

I always associate this thing with drugs. There was an athlete at my school who hit his head, got a concussion, and his entire personality changed. He quit sports, started smoking weed, and wore one of these every day.

I can smell this picture, it smells like weed and patchouli. We called them hippie hoodies.

[-]

FreddyNoodles@reddit

The dudes wearing them had the wispy little goat-tee and a 22 hackey sacks and 6 lighters hidden amongst their person. Every single one played the guitar.

[-]

PureOrange7049@reddit

And wide leg carpenter jeans which were all frayed at the bottom from stepping on them with their Birkenstocks, which of course were won with wool socks.

[-]

SubBass49Tees@reddit

Baja jacket. I used to get mine in Tijuana or San Felipe for like $10.

Now they're sold online for $50+ which seems insane.

[-]

BlacksmithThink9494@reddit

Same for the blankets. Ugh

[-]

willworkforwatches@reddit

I had the most glorious tiger print fleece blanket i bought on a sidewalk in San Felipe for like $5 bucks.

Lost it along the way sometime in the past 10-15 years. Not really sure how, it was a king size fleece blanket with a tiger print. Not hard to see… unless you’re dichromatic.

[-]

BlacksmithThink9494@reddit

That same blanket is $60 at a roadside shop off beach blvd. 🤣

This has never gone away in California. I grew up with this in college and continue to see it, especially among the surfer hippie types.

theguineapigssong@reddit

These were to High School what Starter Jackets were to Middle School.

[-]

Ggface36@reddit

Smoke shops and Hippy crystal incense healing stone stores still sell them. Can't say I recall the last time I saw someone wearing them though

[-]

RASKStudio3937@reddit

Straight up hate if you want, but these legit are the warmest "hoodie" type of garment around. Them hippies appropriated it for a reason, gatherings in the snow get mad cold.

[-]

petshopB1986@reddit

We called them Baja Jackets in my area.

[-]

Varmitthefrog@reddit

we used to call these a ''Poncho'' where I grew up

although recently i was told that this is a ''BAJA'' and me calling it a hoodie was bordering on insulting level of ignorance, so I'm not sure anymore.

I don’t recall ever seeing one of those before; certainly not so many times that it becomes a recognizable style with a name. Having read the comments, I think that’s because I’m not from the west coast.

We called them "potato sacks" growing up in the southeast in the 90s.

Recently saw a guy wearing one and realized how long it's been since I've seen one in the wild. So I said wtf, I'm too old to care what anyone else says and now I have a new one. Have to break it in.

Never heard it called a drug rug. To the people who call it that, what region and timeframe?
