Where these two actually differ
- We flag Azo dyes in colored trim, Elastic degradation and microfiber shedding and Colorfast stability under chlorine exposure on the Cherokee and not on the Dickies.
- We flag Azo dyes and restricted colorants and Allergens in dyes and finishes on the Dickies and not on the Cherokee.
- The Cherokee is polyester blend fabric, no applied finishes disclosed where the Dickies is 100% cotton 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.
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 →
