Where these two actually differ
- We flag Azo dyes and color fastness, Formaldehyde-based finishing resins and Allergenic fiber or dye sensitivity 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 cotton or cotton-polyester blend jersey knit 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 →
