Women's High-Rise Straight Stretch Linen-Viscose Utility Pants vs Men's FLEX Regular Fit Straight Leg Tough Max Duck Carpenter Pants: 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 Dickies.
• We flag DWR finish composition (non-PFAS angle) on the Dickies and not on the Banana Republic.
• The Banana Republic is linen-viscose blend, no water-resistant finish where the Dickies is 100% cotton duck with DWR treatment, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Banana Republic is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Dickies grade, at 42% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
