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 Reebok.
- We flag Azo dyes and heavy metal dye residues, Dye transfer and skin contact and Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) off-gassing on the Reebok and not on the Dockers.
- The Dockers is Cotton and polyester blend where the Reebok is Cotton jersey polo with standard dyeing, 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 →
