Where these two actually differ
- We flag Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating composition, Synthetic fill microplastic shedding and Coating degradation and leachables from synthetic lining on the Allbirds and not on the Picture Organic Clothing.
- We flag DWR coating degradation and reapplication uncertainty and Antimony in recycled polyester on the Picture Organic Clothing and not on the Allbirds.
- The Allbirds is Wool blend with synthetic fill (likely polyester) where the Picture Organic Clothing is Recycled polyester with DWR treatment, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- We are less certain about the Picture Organic Clothing grade, at 42% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
