Women's High-Rise Straight Stretch Linen-Viscose Utility Pants vs Men's Classic Fit Cotton Blend Dress Pants with Side-Tab: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Formaldehyde resins (wrinkle resistance, shape retention), Azo dyes and heavy metal pigments and Antimony in polyester (if present in trim/elastic) on the Banana Republic and not on the Brooks Brothers.
• We flag Formaldehyde resins (wrinkle finish and fabric sizing), Azo dyes and synthetic dye residues and Microplastic shedding from synthetic blend fibers on the Brooks Brothers and not on the Banana Republic.
• The Banana Republic is linen-viscose blend, no water-resistant finish where the Brooks Brothers is cotton blend (primary), no chemical treatment disclosed, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
