Hanes F170 - Ultimate Cotton® 90/10 Pullover Hoodie - Cactus

The Hanes F170 Ultimate Cotton is a 9.7 oz pullover hoodie with a 100% cotton face on a 90/10 cotton/polyester body and Hanes' PrintPro XP high-stitch-density fleece. It is the hooded version of the F260 Ultimate Cotton crewneck, built on the same fabric platform: the cotton face gives the print surface the ink holdout and hand of a cotton sweatshirt while the 10% polyester in the back adds dimensional stability and reduces shrinkage. At 9.7 oz the F170 is the heaviest Hanes hoodie blank, nearly 2 oz heavier than the Gildan G185 Heavy Blend at 8 oz, and the PrintPro XP construction carries a tighter stitch density that reduces pilling and provides a smoother print face than standard fleece.

The cotton face simplifies the decoration decision compared to a 50/50 hoodie. For DTF transfers, the cotton surface bonds cleanly with transfer adhesives at standard heat-press settings and the heavy 9.7 oz fleece holds flat under the platen. For screen printing, plastisol prints with excellent holdout on the cotton face, and the low poly content on most colourways keeps dye migration well below the risk threshold of a 50/50 hoodie like the Gildan G185. On the 65/35 Charcoal Heather, use a low-bleed poly-blocking underbase and cure at the lowest effective temperature. Water-based inks work on the cotton face, though the fleece nap absorbs more ink than jersey. For embroidery, 9.7 oz fleece is ideal substrate weight, heavy enough for dense left-chest, full-front, and back placements without extra backing on standard stitch counts. The two-ply jersey-lined hood, front pouch pocket, and spandex-ribbed cuffs and waistband give the F170 a finished retail feel that a basic single-ply hoodie does not match.

The F170 sits at a premium over the Gildan G185 Heavy Blend because of the heavier weight, the cotton face, and the PrintPro XP construction. That premium is justified when the program needs a cotton hand on the print surface with lower migration risk than a 50/50 hoodie, or when the buyer wants the heaviest available Hanes pullover hoodie for embroidery. For programs where unit cost drives the decision, the Gildan G185 delivers at roughly half the per-unit price on a 50/50 substrate. TheClothingSpace stocks the F170 at wholesale pricing with bulk discounts that increase as case and unit quantities rise, among the lowest prices online for this style, with fast US shipping on stocked colours.
