Product notes
More details
Fabric & Construction
The Sport-Tek ST254 uses 65% cotton / 35% polyester fleece at 9 oz — a heavyweight construction with combed ring-spun yarn. Ring-spun yarn produces a smoother, more uniform surface than open-end cotton, which improves DTG print quality. The 65% cotton content provides the natural fiber base that DTG inks bond with effectively. Hooded neckline with set-in sleeve construction and tagless interior.
Print Compatibility
Compatible with DTG, DTF, embroidery, and screen print — the widest print method range among Sport-Tek's outerwear. The cotton-dominant blend makes this one of the few Sport-Tek products well-suited to DTG, where the cotton fibers absorb water-based pigment inks directly. The 9 oz weight also provides substantial body for embroidery.
Buyer FAQ
Common questions
- Why is the ST254 compatible with DTG when most Sport-Tek products aren't?
- The ST254 uses 65% cotton / 35% polyester — the cotton content allows DTG water-based pigment inks to bond with the natural fibers. Most Sport-Tek products are 100% polyester, which is less compatible with standard DTG.
- What does combed ring-spun yarn mean?
- Ring-spun yarn is twisted into a tighter, smoother thread than open-end yarn. 'Combed' means shorter fibers are removed before spinning, producing an even smoother, more uniform surface.
- How does the ST254 compare to the ST358 hoodie?
- The ST254 is 9 oz cotton-poly fleece (heavyweight, DTG-compatible). The ST358 is 3.8 oz polyester interlock (lightweight performance hoodie). Different weight classes and fabric technologies.
