Where these two actually differ
- We flag Formaldehyde resins and synthetic finishes, Synthetic azo dyes and colorants and Microfiber shedding and fiber degradation over time on the Dickies and not on the Dickies.
- We flag Azo dyes and restricted colorants and Allergens in dyes and finishes on the Dickies and not on the Dickies.
- The Dickies is Polyester blend fabric where the Dickies is 100% cotton twill, 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 →
