Where these two actually differ
- We flag Azo dyes and formaldehyde resins in cotton-blend fabrics, Antimony in polyester component, Elastic degradation and microfiber shedding and Residual manufacturing chemicals (oils, lubricants, sizing agents) on the Dennis Uniform and not on the Izod.
- We flag Azo dyes and color fastness, Formaldehyde in fabric finishes, Antimony in polyester and Microplastic shedding on the Izod and not on the Dennis Uniform.
- The Dennis Uniform is cotton blend twill, no special treatment disclosed where the Izod is cotton/polyester blend, no stated coating, 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 →
