The Complete Guide to Filipino Hoodies at Ugat Clothing
Every collection, every story, every stitch — wrapped in Filipino pride. Here's your guide to every Filipino hoodie category we carry and the culture sewn into each one.
A hoodie is the most personal piece of clothing you own. It's the one you reach for without thinking — when you want to feel at home, feel protected, feel like yourself. At Ugat Clothing, we believe your Filipino hoodie should carry that same feeling one level deeper. It should carry your culture. Your ancestors. Your community. Your roots.
We are a Filipino-owned streetwear and lifestyle brand based in San Jose, California — built on the pillars of Art, History, Culture, Lifestyle, and Resistance. "Ugat" means roots in Tagalog, and our logo is that word written in Baybayin, the ancient pre-colonial script of the Philippines. That identity lives in every product we make, and nowhere more powerfully than in our Filipino hoodies.
Our hoodie collection is one of the most expansive in the Filipino streetwear space. From bold all-over-print Baybayin designs to Philippine mythology, kawaii Filipino food, city pride, national heroes, and NBA teams reimagined with Filipino spirit — there is a Filipino hoodie here for every member of the community. This guide covers every collection, so you can find the one that speaks to you.

Collection 01
Baybayin AOP Filipino Hoodies
From $65.00 – $69.95
Our Baybayin collection is the heart of the Ugat hoodie lineup — and for good reason. Baybayin is the indigenous pre-colonial writing system of the Philippines, a script that existed long before Spanish colonization and connects Filipinos to a version of their identity that was nearly erased. These Filipino hoodies put Baybayin front and center, printed in stunning all-over-print across every inch of the garment so the script becomes the garment itself.
The collection spans multiple designs: the Ugat Baybayin OG AOP Hoodie, the Crystal Baybayin AOP Hoodie, the Slime Baybayin AOP Hoodie, the Flames Baybayin AOP Hoodie, and the "Filipino" in Baybayin AOP Hoodie — all priced at $69.95. The Baybayin AOP Hoodie (ᜊᜊᜌᜒ) is available at $65.00. And the Custom Baybayin AOP Hoodie at $69.95 lets you have your own name or a meaningful Tagalog word rendered in the ancient script and printed across your entire hoodie — making it one of the most personal and meaningful gifts in our store.
Every time someone asks "what does that script say?", you get to share the story of Baybayin — a writing system the community is working to bring back. These Filipino hoodies are wearable acts of cultural reclamation.
Collection 02
Philippine Mythology Filipino Hoodies
From $55.00 – $59.95
Before the Philippines had saints, it had gods. Before it had churches, it had temples and sky deities and sea dragons that swallowed the moon. Our Philippine Mythology Filipino hoodies bring those pre-colonial legends back to life in vivid, wearable form. Wear Bakunawa — the enormous sea serpent of ancient Filipino lore, said to swallow the moon and cause lunar eclipses. Honor Mayari, the one-eyed goddess of the moon who rules the night. Rep Liwayway, the gentle goddess of dawn; Apolaki, the fierce god of the sun; Tala, goddess of the stars; Kidlat, god of lightning; and Amihan, the goddess of the northeast wind.
Each Filipino hoodie in this collection comes with the full story of the figure it celebrates woven into its product description — because at Ugat, knowing the story is part of wearing it. The Bakunawa Hoodie ($59.95) is one of our most iconic designs: the massive mythological sea serpent wrapped around the garment in bold, dramatic illustration. These are Filipino hoodies for the history keepers, the storytellers, and everyone who wants to reclaim the spiritual tradition that colonization tried to erase.
Collection 03
Kawaii Filipino Food Hoodies
From $55.00 – $69.95
Food is how Filipinos love each other. It's how Lola says I missed you. It's how Tita says welcome home. It's the thing everyone argues about at the dinner table and the thing everyone agrees was perfect afterward. Our Kawaii Filipino Food Filipino hoodies celebrate that love — taking iconic Filipino dishes and transforming them into irresistibly adorable kawaii characters that bring instant joy to anyone who sees them.
Represent your favorite dish in hoodie form: Adobo, Sinigang, Halo Halo, Lumpia, Pancit, Kare-Kare, Sisig, Lechon, Dinuguan, Siopao, Tapsilog, Longsilog, Kape at Pandesal, Crispy Pata and many more — each one transformed into a lovable character worthy of a full all-over-print Filipino hoodie. These are favorites for Filipino community events, family reunions, and anyone who wants their hoodie to make the whole room smile.
Collection 04
Catipunan & Friends — Filipino Heroes Hoodies
$55.00
The bayani — the heroes — of the Philippine Revolution gave everything for Filipino freedom. Our Catipunan & Friends Filipino hoodies honor that sacrifice by putting those faces and names in bold, wearable form. Rep Andres Bonifacio, the Supremo who founded the Katipunan and rallied the masses. Wear Gabriela Silang, the revolutionary leader who took command when her husband fell and became one of the most fearless figures in Philippine history. Honor Jose Rizal, whose pen was sharper than any blade and whose words ignited a nation.
Each Filipino heroes hoodie features the hero's name written in Baybayin alongside their portrait — layering two pillars of Filipino cultural identity into a single garment. At $55.00, these are also available as matching shirts and crewnecks so the whole familia can represent together. These Filipino hoodies are especially meaningful during Filipino American History Month and every day in between.
Collection 05
City Collection — Filipino City Pride Hoodies
$69.95
Where you're from is part of who you are. Our City Collection Filipino hoodies are built for the Filipinos who want to rep their homeland city in the most striking way possible — through bold, all-over-print designs that wrap your hometown around you from hood to hem. Currently featuring four of the Philippines' most beloved cities: Manila, the historic capital and cultural heartbeat of the nation; Cebu, the Queen City of the South; Davao, the city of durian and diverse culture in Mindanao; and Baguio, the cool and misty summer capital nestled in the Cordillera mountains.
Each city Filipino hoodie is priced at $69.95 and available in the unisex oversized all-over-print style. Whether you're an OFW missing home, a Filipino American carrying your family's province in your heart, or someone who just wants to rep their city with maximum pride — these Filipino hoodies say it without a word.
Collection 06
Cruisin Collection — Filipino Transportation Hoodies
$55.00 – $69.95
Ask any Filipino what they miss most about the Philippines, and a Jeepney will come up — every single time. It's not just transportation. It's a moving mural, a symbol of Filipino ingenuity, a piece of everyday life that has no equivalent anywhere else in the world. Our Cruisin Collection Filipino hoodies celebrate the iconic vehicles of the Philippines: the loud and colorful Jeepney, the nimble neighborhood Tricycle, the leisurely Pedicab, and the hardworking Kalabaw (Carabao) — a symbol of Filipino perseverance and rural strength that has pulled the nation forward for centuries.
These Filipino hoodies are rooted in nostalgia and community joy. They're for the Fil-Am who wants to carry a little piece of daily life in the Philippines, and for the balikbayan who never forgot the feeling of flagging down a jeepney on a humid afternoon. Wear your hometown transportation with pride.
Collection 07
NBA Basketball — Filipino Hoodies
$69.95
Basketball isn't just a sport in the Philippines. It's a language, a ritual, a shared obsession that crosses every generation and every barangay. Our NBA Basketball Collection Filipino hoodies fuse that deep love for the game with Filipino cultural pride — reimagining NBA teams through a Filipino identity lens and putting those designs on all-over-print Filipino hoodies that let you rep both your team and your roots.
The collection includes Golden State Mandirigma (warrior) for Warriors fans, Los Angeles Lakas (strength) for Lakers fans, Phoenix Haring Araw (King of the Sun) for Suns fans, Milwaukee Tamaraws for Bucks fans, Cleveland / Pilipinas Katipunero for Cavs fans, and Indiana / Pilipinas for Pacers fans — with more to come. All priced at $69.95. These Filipino hoodies are a love letter to the Filipino basketball fan who has always deserved to see their identity reflected in their gear.
Collection 08
Bulaklak Collection — Filipino Floral Hoodies
$69.95
"Bulaklak" means flower in Tagalog — and the Philippines is a country of breathtaking natural beauty, from its tropical gardens to its mountain highlands. Our Bulaklak Collection Filipino hoodies bring that botanical richness into streetwear form through the stunning Gumamela (Hibiscus) AOP Hoodie — the vivid, trumpet-shaped flower that is one of the most iconic in Philippine culture and history, spread in full bloom across every inch of the garment.
These Filipino hoodies are bold, nature-forward, and completely unlike anything else in our lineup. If you love floral fashion with genuine cultural roots — rooted not just in aesthetics but in the soil of the Philippines — the Bulaklak Collection was made for you. It's a reminder that Filipino identity is as vibrant and alive as the flowers that grow in its highlands.
Collection 09
Armas Collection — Filipino Heritage Hoodies
$69.95
Long before the Philippines was colonized, Filipinos were skilled warriors. The Filipino martial tradition — known as Arnis or Eskrima — is one of the most sophisticated indigenous combat systems in the world, built around bladed weapons like the Kris, the Kampilan, and the Balisong. Our Armas Collection Filipino hoodies honor that pre-colonial warrior spirit by pairing bold imagery of traditional Filipino weapons with striking graphic design.
The Armas: Kris Gumamela Hoodie is a standout piece — fusing the double-edged ceremonial Kris blade with the Gumamela flower in a design that holds both power and beauty in the same breath. That tension — strength and grace, resistance and culture — is exactly what Ugat is about. These Filipino hoodies are for the community member who wants to wear their warrior roots on their back.
Collection 10
Limited Edition & Special Release Filipino Hoodies
$55.00 – $69.95
Some of our most powerful Filipino hoodies exist outside of any single collection — born from moments, movements, and the Filipino community's unbreakable spirit. The Lumalaban Hoodie ("lumalaban" means "fighting back") features a Philippine Carabao confronting dark forces of oppression — a raw, striking visual metaphor for Filipino resistance that has resonated deeply with the community. The Manila Men Hoodie was released for Filipino American History Month, honoring the Manong Generation — the Filipino farmworkers who helped build California and fought for dignity and fair wages alongside the United Farm Workers. The Bayanihan Hoodie was released as a Typhoon Fundraiser, channeling the ancient Filipino tradition of community solidarity into direct action.
These limited Filipino hoodies represent the soul of Ugat — culture as resistance, fashion as memory, and clothing as a living act of love for the Filipino people. They sell out. If one calls to you, don't wait.
A note on fit and sizing: All Ugat all-over-print Filipino hoodies are made from 92% Polyester + 8% Spandex in a comfortable, unisex oversized loose fit — suitable for all body types and available in sizes S through 6XL. They feature a comfortable hood, split kangaroo pocket, and adjustable drawstring. Machine wash cold. See the size chart on each product page before ordering.
At Ugat Clothing, our Filipino hoodies are some of the most meaningful pieces we make. A hoodie is a statement piece — it takes up space, it gets noticed, it travels with you everywhere. We want every Filipino hoodie we put into the world to carry something worth carrying: a story, a hero, a language, a dish, a city, a deity, a movement. Something that makes the person wearing it feel connected to something bigger than themselves.
We are Filipino-owned, community-rooted, and here for the long run. Every purchase directly supports a small brand that is in this not for profit alone, but for the culture. Thank you for being part of the Ugat family — in San Jose and across the entire Filipino diaspora.
Mabuhay. Long live the Filipino people. Know your roots — and wear them with everything you've got.
