World of Goods: Beaded Bracelets This wonderful organization is building homes—and helping villagers build skillsBaja hoodies have an image problem. For those who have forgotten, or for those Midwesterners like me who called them “mop tops,” Bajas are roomy pullovers, slit on each side, with a hood, a huge front center pocket, and 2 thick ropes at the neck that were of no real practical use. Still can’t remember the Baja? Here you go: Jeff Spicoli, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Now you got it, right? And therein lies the problem. These shirts are forever associated with, well, stoner chic. Thanks to the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Sean Penn’s now-legendary zoned out surfer dude character, the Baja is, in fashion circles at least, a bit of a joke.

He was wearing it in the scene where Spicoli orders a pizza during class, much to the dismay of teacher Mr. Hand (Ray Walston).

Fair enough, but it’s too bad they got so closely associated with counterculture and, especially, drugs. Because Bajas are pretty cool. They are warm and slouchy and cozy and practical. And they have an interesting, not-quite-burlap feel to them and smell very earthy when they get rained on.

Rawganique’s Baja is 100% organic hemp. Now let’s just stop right there. How perfect is that! A little cheeky, a little tongue-in-cheeky, the perfect embracing of this top’s cliché rap.

You can go with the hard-core Baja that looks just like you remember, which may raise a few eyebrows, or at the very least come off as slightly ironic.
