Arrow Men's Regular-Fit Wrinkle-Resistant Poplin Dress Shirt
Medium concern, wrinkle and stain resistance on dress shirts commonly use PFAS, but Arrow provides no transparency.
Arrow's 'wrinkle-resistant' and 'stain-resistant' finishes on this poplin shirt suggest chemical treatment, historically a common application for PFAS in apparel. The brand discloses nothing about PFAS content or avoidance.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
