Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Formaldehyde resins in finish, Azo dyes and synthetic colorants, Microplastics shedding and Allergenic dyes or finishes on the Dockers and not on the Old Navy.
  • We flag Microfiber shedding from polyester component on the Old Navy and not on the Dockers.
  • The Dockers is Cotton and polyester blend where the Old Navy is cotton/polyester blend woven textile, 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: 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 →
