Women's High-Rise Straight Stretch Linen-Viscose Utility Pants vs Men's Modern Khakis In Athletic Taper: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Formaldehyde resins (wrinkle resistance, shape retention) and Antimony in polyester (if present in trim/elastic) on the Banana Republic and not on the Gap.
• We flag Formaldehyde resins (finish treatments) and Elastane (spandex) degradation and microfiber shedding on the Gap and not on the Banana Republic.
• Both carry a flag for Azo dyes and heavy metal pigments, so neither choice avoids it.
• The Banana Republic is linen-viscose blend, no water-resistant finish where the Gap is cotton-blend woven twill, 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.
