Where these two actually differ

  • 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.

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 →
