PFAS score
Drake's · Neckties
navy and stripe repp silk tipped tie
Lower concern, untreated silk tie unlikely to contain PFAS, but brand offers no transparency.
Drake's repp silk ties are primarily silk and cotton, materials that do not inherently require PFAS-based coatings for function. The brand does not disclose any stain-resistant or water-repellent treatments, and neither silk nor standard cotton tipping typically receive water-repellent coating finishing.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% 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.
