Where these two actually differ
- We flag Azo dyes and restricted colorants and Allergens in dyes and finishes on the Dickies and not on the Landau.
- We flag Antimony in polyester component, Color fastness and dye bleeding and Elastic and seam degradation over time on the Landau and not on the Dickies.
- The Dickies is 100% cotton twill where the Landau is poplin cotton blend, 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 →
