Everlane Original Cheeky Jean

D · Elevated

Lower PFAS concern; untreated denim carries minimal risk, but no transparency claim.

Everlane's Original Cheeky Jean is standard cotton denim with no disclosed water-resistant or stain-resistant finish, the primary PFAS vector in apparel. The brand does not publicly claim PFAS-free status or hold relevant certifications, leaving treatment history unverified.

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.
