  • The Graphic Hoodie Style Dilemma for Travel Style Influencers: What You Need to Know
    Apr 29 2025

    This episode is for all the fashion influencers out there. Recently we covered comfort versus style when it comes to choosing the right hoodie (or hoodies) to pack for your vacation.

    Three Reasons that Graphic Hoodies Can be Dicey to Pack and How to Get Around Them


    Now, we’re going to talk purely about fashion.

    We all know that vacations are prime time for outfit pics, with unique surroundings, fun vistas and once-in-a-lifetime potential to capture that viral fit pic. Plus, depending on where you're going, you might also want to elevate your look beyond cool casual.

    This is where the graphic hoodie you love can get dicey, Why? Because graphics hoodies can have some minuses if you’re not careful with your outfit and photo planning:

    • Visually Loud: Bold graphics on a hoodie can clash with the rest of your travel wardrobe. A hoodie that screams "skate park energy" or “theme park crazy” might not vibe with a quaint Parisian café or a minimalist Tokyo boutique (let alone the pastoral beauty of an awesome landscape as a backdrop)
    • Style Limitations: A graphic hoodie doesn’t easily dress up. You can’t really rock it to a nice dinner, a night out, or a cultural venue with a dress code.
    • Travel Aesthetic: If you're curating a travel aesthetic—think coastal chic, urban minimalist, or boho traveler—a graphic hoodie might throw off the entire vibe.

    All of these are potential outfit breakers. That is, if you don’t plan ahead.

    If you’re packing light and hoping to build a cohesive, Instagram worthy travel wardrobe, a hoodie covered in memes, logos, or band names might stick out like a sore thumb.

    Here’s How to Answer the Travel Hoodie Question: Should You Pack It?

    Yes—if:

    • Your vacation involves a lot of transit time or unpredictable weather.
    • You plan to dress casually and prioritize comfort.
    • The graphic matches your personal style or travel aesthetic.

    Maybe not—if:

    • Your trip leans toward high-end experiences or has a formal element.
    • You’re working with a minimalist packing list and every item must multitask.
    • You’re aiming for a more curated travel aesthetic.

    Pro Tip for Travel Packing and Hoodies: Meet in the Middle

    Still on the fence about packing that travel graphic hoodie?

    Go for a neutral-toned hoodie with a subtle graphic—something that reflects your personality without dominating your outfit. This way, you can stay comfy and stylish, no compromise necessary.

    At the end of the day, the graphic hoodie is neither hero nor villain—it’s all about how well it plays with the rest of your suitcase. Choose wisely, pack smart, and enjoy the journey

    What’s your take—are you team graphic hoodie, or team leave it at home?

  • The Top Five Things That Make the Right Graphic Hoodie the Ultimate Travel Item
    Apr 22 2025
    Are you a minimalist packer or do you pack more than one outfit per day? It can be an endless tug-of-war between what you know is right and what you know is, well, you.One item of apparel that’s often caught between two worlds is the humble graphic hoodie.What makes the ultimate travel hoodie?Packing for a vacation can be a struggle between wants and needs. What clothes do you want to bring and what clothes do you need to bring? When you're standing in front of your packing pile, deciding what makes the cut for your next adventure, does a hoodie feel like a must or a miss? If you think a hoodie’s a must, it’s probably because it’s soft and versatile. Your favorite hoodie has been with you through everything from long-haul flights to late-night walks back to your hotel. But not all hoodies are created equal—especially when you're packing light and traveling far. (Do you know the history of the hoodie and how it was invented?). But hoodies are also big and bulky items. It’s particularly challenging if you’re trying to keep your luggage to a minimum. Whether you’re on a two-week European vacation or spending a week at Disney World, no one wants to bring more baggage than they need to.The good news is that style and comfort don’t have to be at odds when it comes to travel hoodies. With the right travel hoodie, you can have both. Let’s talk about what makes the ultimate travel hoodie—and why your go-to might need an upgrade.Why a Hoodie is a Travel Must-Have ItemBefore we get into style, let’s talk practical function. To put is simply, the hoodie is the Swiss Army knife of your travel wardrobe.It’s a built-in blanket on freezing airplanes and chilly train rides.It’s an extra layer when the weather turns or the sun sets faster than expected.It’s low-maintenance. No ironing, no fuss, no worries.It fits every vibe—airport runs, café lounging, sightseeing strolls, theme park visits and even spontaneous hikes.In short, a good hoodie keeps you warm. A great hoodie keeps you looking cool while doing itWhat Makes a Hoodie Travel-WorthyThere are the five things that we look for in a good travel hoodie:1. Fabric That Breathes (and Doesn’t Bulk Up)If you’re wearing a hoodie, you want that unmistakable cozy factor, but without sweating through airport security. Watch for midweight cotton blends that feel soft but don’t trap heat. Bonus if it has a brushed interior (can you say softness?) and holds up to multiple wears without getting baggy.👉 1923 Main Street hoodies offers hoodies made to feel like your favorite sweatshirt from day one—without the break-in period.2. A Fit That Works EverywhereHoodie lovers usually have a preferred hoodie size. Oversized is great for lounging. Tailored is great for layering. But the ideal travel hoodie hits that middle sweet spot: roomy enough to layer something underneath, but structured enough to look intentional. You don’t want to look like you just rolled out of bed (even if, let’s be honest, you did).3. Design That Travels WellThis is where your hoodie earns style points. Loud graphics and novelty prints can be fun, but for travel, go with:Subtle artwork (our specialty at 1923 Main Street)Neutral or destination-inspired tonesTimeless designs that complement everything in your bagThe best hoodies feel personal and unique—but still go with everything.👉 Think: a vintage-inspired logo tee with soft-washed tones that evoke national parks, iconic cities, or magical places (like, say, certain famous theme parks).4. A Pocket with a PurposeA classic kangaroo pocket is non-negotiable. Somewhere to stash your phone, passport, or even a breakfast croissant on the go? Yes, please. Zippered options are a win if you’re more active or security-conscious.5. Durability You Don’t Have to Think AboutWrinkle-resistant. Machine washable. Resilient against spills, weather and whatever else your travel day throws at you. A travel hoodie should be ready to go from the overhead bin to the open road.How to Make Your Hoodie Work with Your Travel OutfitsHere’s how to work your hoodie into your travel rotation, whether you’re city-hopping or theme park-trotting:The Airport Look: Hoodie + joggers + slip-on sneakers = airport-security-friendly and effortlessly coolCity Explorer: Hoodie layered under a denim jacket or lightweight trench, paired with slim-fit jeans or leggings.Disney Park Day: Hoodie + bike shorts or denim shorts + ears (obviously)Rainy Day Plan B: Hoodie + windbreaker + waterproof boots = still stylishThe 1923 Main Street DifferenceWe design every hoodie at 1923 Main Street with the traveler in mind.

  • Park Hop Athletics™: The Story Behind the Apparel, by 1923 Main Street®
    Apr 15 2025

    This is the story behind the creation of the Park Hop Athletics Collection by 1923 Main Street and how a single event prompted a whole new way of thinking.

    Hop. Play. Repeat. This is how the Park Hop Athletics trademark collection was created.

    When Walt Disney World first opening in 1971, it was a much simpler place. We had one theme park (Magic Kingdom), two hotels (Disney’s Polynesian Resort and Disney’s Contemporary Resort) and Fort Wilderness Campground. That was it.

    For over a decade, we had endless fun at this original Walt Disney World. The monorail was as much a part of the whole experience as anything else. But when Disney acted to complete one of Walt Disney’s final project dreams, a second park finally opened in 1982 (in fact, it was 11 years to the day: October 1, 1982).

    1982 Was the Year When Park Hopping Became a Thing

    When EPCOT opened as Disney World’s second park, something else happened: park hopping suddenly became a reality for Walt Disney World visitors. Now, your amount of fun doubled, because you could hop from one park to another on your vacation on the same day, if you paid for the privilege.

    And with that, park hopping officially became part of the Disney World vacation lexicon.

    Being a part of this formative period in Disney World history is what led Mike Belobradic to create the Park Hop Athletics™ collection at 1923 Main Street®.

    Park Hopping is Fun and Has Benefits, but it isn’t for Every Disney Traveler

    Of course, nowadays, park hopping is much more ingrained into the Disney travel experience – plus you have four theme parks that you can potentially hop between. But one thing hasn’t changed: park hopping isn’t for everyone. Cost aside, it does take a little stamina and will to want to park hop at Walt Disney World.

    Many years ago, Disney resort hotels used to present you with a special paper certificate if you managed to hop between all four Disney World parks in a single day. They no longer do this (perhaps because it isn’t as big of a challenge any more, given more transportation options), but still, four parks in one day is as much a part of the park hop experience as is two parks on the same day.

    Park Hop Athletics™ by 1923 Main Street®: Inspired by the Magic of Park Hopping

    The 1923 Main Street Park Hop Athletics Collection was inspired by that first park hop experience back in 1982. With a variety of designs that celebrate the ability to Hop. Play. Repeat.™ at Walt Disney World, Park Hop Athletics clothing is truly steeped on this longtime rite of passage.

    The Park Hop Athletics Collection by 1923 Main Street is comprised of graphic t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies that feature a wide range of authentic original designs, perfect for anyone who loves to take part in this time-honored Disney World tradition. In fact, if you combine rope dropping with park hopping, you can truly make the most of your Disney day. (Read the back story of our Rope Drop Apparel™ Collection here).

    Within the Park Hop Athletics Collection you’ll find graphics inspired by Disney Park hopping in collegiate style, along with unique skateboard and snowboard themed graphics (inspired by the board parks in both sports) and even more themes, including beer and Park Hop Princesses. How’s that for a wide range?

    If Park Hopping is something you love to do, there’s a 1923 Main Street Park Hop Athletics t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie that’s right for you.
