Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Azo dyes and azo metabolites and Heavy metals in synthetic dyes (lead, cadmium, chromium) on the Cotton On and not on the Gap Fit.
  • We flag Formaldehyde resins in fabric finishes, Azo dyes and heavy metals in pigments, Spandex degradation and microfiber shedding and Allergenic fragrance or finish residues on the Gap Fit and not on the Cotton On.
  • The Cotton On is cotton where the Gap Fit is nylon blend with spandex elastane, 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: 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 →
