  • We flag Azo dyes and color fastness, Antimony in polyester and Fiber shedding and microplastics on the Uniform Advantage and not on the Uniform Advantage.
  • The Uniform Advantage is Polyester blend stretch fabric, unspecified finish where the Uniform Advantage is 100% cotton polyester 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.
