Which is the official name of “Parker” or “Hoodie” that we often hear these days?

Originally, a parka was a hooded winter coat made of fur from seals or reindeer, and was used by the Inuit (Eskimo) for hunting and kayaking in the extremely cold Arctic, and is completely different from a hooded sweatshirt. In English-speaking countries, hoodies are more commonly known as hoodies, and although it is not clear when the term “parka” was first used for hooded sweatshirts in Japan, the official term is “hooded sweatshirt. Therefore, recently, there is a growing trend in Japan to adopt the globally popular name “hoodie,” and many brands in Japan are using the hoodie name as well. As a result, it is becoming the new norm, especially among Generation Z, to call hoodies “hoodies” instead of hoodies.
