To sign *hoodie*, start with both hands in 'S' or 'A' handshapes near your collarbone, as if grasping the drawstrings of a hood. Pull both hands straight down towards your waist simultaneously. This motion mimics tightening the drawstrings on a hooded sweatshirt.
Sign 'I', 'love', 'wear', 'my', 'comfortable', and then sign 'hoodie' by pulling the imaginary drawstrings down.
Sign 'You', 'bring', 'hoodie' (pulling the drawstrings), then 'cold', 'outside'.
Sign 'My', 'favorite', 'hoodie', then 'black'.

No. While they are similar, *jacket* or *coat* is signed by bringing 'A' hands from the shoulders inward to the center of the chest, as if putting on a coat. *Hoodie* is signed by pulling straight down to mimic drawstrings, or by mimicking pulling a hood over the head.
It is helpful to mouth 'hoodie' slightly to provide context, especially since signs for clothing can sometimes look similar. However, the clear downward pulling motion is the most important part of the sign.
No, *hoodie* is a two-handed sign. Using both hands accurately represents the two drawstrings or the two sides of the hood, making the sign visually clear.
