Spicoli Sporting a Baja in Fast Times at Ridgemont High
A Baja or Jerga pullover is a two or three-tone woven Mexican hooded pullover made of a mix of cotton, acrylic & polyester with a large pocket on the front. Hippies, surfers, skateboarders, Rastafarians, extreme sports enthusiasts and metal rockers often wear them.
Bajas are a favorite of comedy film “dudes” named Jeff; namely Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Jeffrey Lebowski in The Big Lebowski.

Ah, love. Might perhaps sound surprising from my mouth, but I was a grunge kid back in the early 90′s and in the early 00′s I hang around with lots of hippies and skateboarders and myself I had really became a punk over the years (and in my heart I guess I still somehow am)…
I think we’ve all been through our different “phases” in life. That’s what makes us so interesting now!
Interesting piece of information! I didn´t know that pullover actually had a name.
Yes! It can be called a baja or a jerga.
The baja hoodie is making a comeback and they are awesome!
I consider the baha hoodie a timeless classic, so it’s interesting to hear that they’re making a comeback. And yes, they are awesome!
