Where these two actually differ
- We flag Microfiber shedding and washout of dyes and Elastic degradation and wear durability 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 Cotton blend (65% polyester, 35% cotton typical for EDS line) 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.
