Not sure what a Senor Lopez poncho is? That is okay, most people are not familiar with the name but you have seen one before. This sweatshirt is often known as a Mexican baja hoodie pullover or a Mexican poncho. The only problem with the name of Mexican Poncho is that a real poncho does not have a hood and sleeves like this pullover sweatshirt has.
Maybe you saw one on Will Smith in the movie Hancock, in fact in any movie where they are trying to make people look grungy, they will have them wear a baja hoodie. The reason being that they have adopted a certain feel among Americans.
The Baja surf hoodie was introduced to American in the 1970's and 1980's when they became very popular, but nobody embraced this movement more than the hippies. For this reason they are called drug rugs by most Americans now. But it does not mean that you do drugs if you wear a baja poncho.
They are great for many reasons, one being that they come in tons of colors. There are literally thousands of different colors to choose from. Most of them will have 3 colors with one color being the more dominate color and then smaller stripes of 2 other colors. There are some that are very colorful and have every color of the rainbow. The most famous color is the Rasta hoodie because of it's green, yellow, black and red colors. This is a very popular one among Bob Marley fans.

There has been much debate on whether the famous baja hoodie poncho sweater should be categorized as a piece of hippie clothing or Mexican clothing. The reason being that baja poncho is made in Mexico but worn by hippies. If you go to Mexico, you will not see many people wearing baja hoodies around. But if you go to a Bob Marley concert you will find them all over. Mexico profits off of hippies when it comes to these baja shirts. So do you call a sweater by who wears it or by who makes it? The answer should be to keep the name of the sweater neutral.
Instead of giving the pullover sweatshirt a name like a drug rug, because of the hippie influence or a Mexican hoodie because of the fact they are made in Mexico, they should simply be known as Baja Hoodies. In Spanish the material they use is known by 2 names, franela or jerga. The best translation for those 2 word to English is baja. So the perfect name would be a baja hoodie pullover and not just a baja poncho because a poncho is without sleeves and a hood.
No matter who makes them or who wears them you can't argue that they are great pieces of clothing and that everyone should own at least one in their lifetime. They are inexpensive and very easy to find on the Internet so don't pay attention to debate over which name they should adopt and get yourself one for the winter.

Many people get a Mexican poncho and a Mexican baja shirt confused and the difference is quite simple to recognize. Here we will discuss the differences between the two so that you never get them confused in the future.
First off, the Mexican poncho is one of the most famous pieces of traditional Mexican clothing in the world. They are usually a little bit western in their look and they are not to be confused with the brightly colored serape blankets that a piece of Mexican culture. The poncho is without sleeves but it is not a vest. It is the original snuggie you could say. It is literally a Mexican blanket with a hole in it. The blanket used is a falsa blanket which tends to be thicker than a traditional serape blanket.
A baja shirt on the other hand, is also known as a baja hoodie or baja sweater because it is a sweater with a hood, long sleeves and a pocket in the front to keep your hands warm. Are you getting the picture yet? They are very different in every aspect except one. They both come from Mexico and have that Mexico clothing look that Americans love. But the baja hoodie is now more popular among hippies and is often referred to as a hippie hoodie because they wear them more than others. Because of this the hippie hoodie has gone on to be called a drug rug because of it's association with hippies. So now you know the difference between a baja shirt and a Mexican poncho.
