Where these two actually differ
- 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 Kaynee.
- We flag Azo dyes (synthetic colorants), Heavy metals in synthetic dyes (e.g., chromium, copper) and Fragrance or finishing chemical residues on the Kaynee and not on the Dickies.
- The Dickies is cotton/polyester blend, no special coatings where the Kaynee is 100% cotton pique, 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 →
