What Men's Bespoke Slim-Fit Wrinkle Dress Shirt is made of, ingredients and materials
This shirt is a cotton blend with synthetic wrinkle-free and stain-resistant finishes applied to the fabric. The wrinkle-free treatment typically uses formaldehyde-releasing resins (durable-press chemistry) that chemically cross-link fibers to reduce creasing. Stain resistance almost certainly involves PFAS-based durable water and oil repellents (DWORs) sprayed or applied post-manufacture, a standard industry practice for performance dress shirts. These finishes migrate onto skin with wear and washing, especially in early uses and with perspiration.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Cotton-synthetic blends with durable-press finishing release low-level formaldehyde, documented in dermatology and textile chemistry literature. The brand does not specify resin type or formaldehyde content limits. Emissions decline with repeated washing but persist in new garments.
Source, ATSDR ↗water-repellent coating (DWOR) chemical residue
Stain-resistant claims on performance dress shirts almost universally rely on PFAS-based coatings (C6 or legacy C8 chemistries). The brand's silence suggests no verified low-PFAS alternative is in use. See separate PFAS assessment (20/100) for detailed grading.
What’s reassuring
Azo dyes and colorfast chemistry
No specific recall or warning on record for dress shirts. Synthetic blend dyes are typically low-risk if fabric is pre-washed, but unverified in this product's supply chain. Standard practice suggests quality control exists but is not independently verified.
Heavy metals
No documented contamination reported in textiles. Cotton-synthetic blends dyed at major manufacturers generally comply with OEKO-TEX or Reach limits, but the brand does not publish third-party testing. Risk is low but unverified.
Source, FDA ↗Antimony in polyester component
Antimony trioxide is a standard polyester catalyst and may be present in trace amounts. No health threshold established for finished-fabric exposure. The brand does not disclose antimony limits or removal steps. Risk is theoretical but unconfirmed in this product.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
The brand has not publicly committed to PFAS elimination or published testing data on finishes in apparel products. The brand does not list chemical composition or treatment details on product pages or care tags. The brand's parent company (Authentic Brands Group) has made no notable public statements on PFAS phase-out for textiles. This silence is typical for athletic and lifestyle brands and contrasts with transparency commitments from outdoor and premium brands.
How it compares in its category
Performance dress shirts from mainstream brands (the brand, Nike, Under Armour, Columbia) routinely use PFAS and formaldehyde-resin finishes as standard cost-effective durability measures. Premium alternatives (Patagonia, Allbirds, some higher-end menswear) increasingly disclose finish chemistry and offer PFAS-free or low-formaldehyde options at higher price points. This shirt sits in the typical middle-market category where chemical finishes are assumed but not disclosed. Budget alternatives often use similar or identical finishing methods.
If you buy it
Wash the shirt 3-5 times before wearing next to skin to remove loose finish residues and reduce chemical migration. Use warm or cool water, not hot, to minimize resin breakdown that may release additional formaldehyde vapors. Dry on low heat or air-dry to avoid thermal degradation of synthetic coatings. Replace the shirt if the finish visibly deteriorates (peeling, stiffness loss, odor return after washing), as this indicates breakdown of the chemical treatment layer. Avoid prolonged skin contact while damp or sweating.
