Where these two actually differ
- We flag Formaldehyde resins (wrinkle/shrink control) and Microplastics from laundering on the French Toast and not on the Izod.
- We flag Azo dyes and color fastness, Formaldehyde in fabric finishes, Antimony in polyester and Microplastic shedding on the Izod and not on the French Toast.
- The French Toast is polyester, cotton blend uniform skirt where the Izod is cotton/polyester blend, no stated coating, 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 →
