Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Azo dyes and heavy metal pigments in printed pattern, Formaldehyde resins in print binder or finishing and Dye migration or color bleeding during wash on the and not on the Brooklinen.
  • We flag Azo dyes and heavy metal colorants and Fiber shedding or microfiber release on the Brooklinen and not on the .
  • The is 100% cotton (sateen weave, printed) where the Brooklinen is 100% European linen, washed finish, 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.
