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 Dockers.
- We flag Formaldehyde resins (wrinkle/shrink finishes), Azo dyes and azo-dye metabolites and Allergenic dyes and finishes on the Dockers and not on the Banana Republic.
- The Banana Republic is linen-viscose blend, no water-resistant finish where the Dockers is cotton poplin blend, 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.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
