Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Formaldehyde resins and finishes, Azo dyes and heavy metals in pigments and VOC and off-gassing on the Dennis Uniform and not on the Dickies.
  • We flag Azo dyes and colorants, Antimony in polyester, Heavy metals in dyes and pigments and Residual solvents or sizing agents on the Dickies and not on the Dennis Uniform.
  • The Dennis Uniform is school uniform fabric, likely cotton blend or polyester where the Dickies is cotton/polyester blend, no special coatings, 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 →
