Hanes P170 - Ecosmart® 50/50 Pullover Hoodie - Athletic Cardinal

The Hanes P170 is the EcoSmart 50/50 Pullover Hoodie, a 7.8 oz cotton/poly blank that pairs a value mid-weight fleece with two features a decorator notices: the polyester half includes up to 5% recycled polyester spun from plastic bottles, and the fleece is the patented PrintPro XP knit, a low-pill, high-stitch-density face built to take a print cleanly. That makes it the hoodie a shop reaches for when a program wants a recycled-content story and a smooth print surface at a core price, which is the default for school and team fleece, club and event hoodies, eco-minded brand and campus orders, and any large job that wants a 50/50 hoodie with a sustainability angle the buyer can name.

The P170 prints like a value 50/50 fleece with the one trap every blend carries: the polyester half wants to migrate under heat. For screen printing, the PrintPro XP low-pill face gives a smooth, dense canvas that holds bold spot colour and fine detail; on dark colours lay a grey poly-blocking underbase and cure at the lowest effective temperature so the dye does not bleed into the ink. For DTF, the transfer bonds to the fleece face at standard heat-press settings; on the darker colours use a low-bleed film and a controlled press temperature to keep migration out of the print. For embroidery, the 7.8 oz fleece is a stable base for a left-chest or full-front design with a cut-away backing, kept clear of the pouch pocket and hood seams so it does not pucker. For DTG, the 50/50 blend migrates and the napped fleece face prints more muted than a smooth tee, so it is workable on the lighter colours with a blend pre-treat but is not the hoodie's strength. For vinyl and HTV, solid heat-transfer vinyl holds on the fleece face when pressed at a controlled temperature to limit dye bleed on the darks. Two methods do not apply: water-based discharge needs the dye to strip from 100% cotton, which the 50/50 polyester will not do, leaving only a faded tonal result, and the cotton-dominant blend is not a polyester sublimation substrate.

The reorder note specific to this style: the solid colours run a true 50/50 while the heathers generally carry more polyester, so confirm whether your colour is a solid or a heather before a repeat run, because the poly-rich heathers migrate more and need a heavier underbase and a lower cure. Pair the P170 with the Jerzees 996 NuBlend when a job wants the lowest 50/50 hoodie price on a pill-resistant face, and step up to the heavier Hanes F170 Ultimate Cotton when a program wants a cotton-rich 90/10 premium hoodie in the same brand.
