Where these two actually differ
- We flag Formaldehyde resins (fabric sizing and finishing) on the Dickies and not on the Duluth Trading.
- We flag PFAS in DWR finish and Antimony in polyester fibers on the Duluth Trading and not on the Dickies.
- The Dickies is 100% canvas cotton, uncoated where the Duluth Trading is Cotton/polyester blend with water-repellent DWR finish, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Dickies is the one to buy.
