Tommy Hilfiger Women's One Button Blazer
Standard blazer, lower concern. No waterproof treatment claimed.
Tommy Hilfiger blazer uses conventional wool, cotton, and polyester without advertised water-resistant or stain-resistant coatings. No brand PFAS disclosure available, but standard apparel construction poses lower PFAS risk than treated outerwear.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This blazer blends wool, cotton, and polyester. Wool and cotton are natural fibers with minimal chemical processing in most cases; polyester is synthetic and introduces potential for dyes and finishing agents. The hazard risk depends on how heavily the fabric was dyed and what finishing resins were applied during manufacturing. A wool-blend blazer typically undergoes less aggressive chemical treatment than synthetic-only garments because wool's natural properties reduce the need for certain coatings.
The brand's record and disclosure
Tommy Hilfiger (sold through Macy's) has not publicly disclosed detailed chemical restriction policies or third-party certifications like OEKO-TEX or bluesign. The brand maintains standard commercial manufacturing practices but does not highlight restricted substance commitments in public statements. No major chemical-related recalls or controversies are on record for Tommy Hilfiger apparel. This represents silent compliance: likely meeting legal minimums without voluntary transparency.
How it compares in its category
Wool-blend blazers are among the safer apparel choices because wool naturally resists microbial growth and requires fewer antimicrobial finishes than synthetics. Compared to 100% polyester blazers, the wool content here reduces reliance on chemical-intensive synthetic processing. Compared to cotton-only blazers, the polyester adds some dye-fastness chemistry but no extraordinary hazard. This sits in the middle-to-lower risk band for formal apparel.
If you buy it
Wash in cool water (under 40°C) using mild detergent to preserve dyes and minimize chemical leaching. Dry clean only if the care label specifies it; home washing is safer if the label permits. Inspect seams and buttons for obvious defects before first wear. Air dry away from direct heat and sunlight to avoid accelerating dye degradation.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Azo dyes
Polyester and wool in blazers are typically dyed with reactive or acid dyes; azo dyes are not prohibited in non-restricted apparel but are more common in budget fast-fashion. No specific azo dye violations recorded for Tommy Hilfiger, but no certification excluding them either.
Formaldehyde resins
Wool-cotton blends may receive formaldehyde-based finishing agents to improve wrinkle resistance and shape retention. Tommy Hilfiger does not publicly restrict formaldehyde resins. Off-gassing typically diminishes after first wash and airing.
Heavy metals in dyes (antimony, lead, chromium)
Wool and polyester dyes can contain heavy metal mordants or impurities, especially in darker colors. Tommy Hilfiger does not disclose testing for heavy metal dyes. Risk is low in finished garment but non-zero without third-party certification.
Fragrance allergens (if finished with scent)
No information suggests this blazer receives fragrance finishing. Standard wool blazers do not typically include added fragrance.
Antimony in polyester
Polyester content is approximately 30-40% (typical for wool blends); antimony is used as a catalyst in polyester synthesis. Levels in finished fabric are usually below migration thresholds, but Tommy Hilfiger provides no testing disclosure.
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.
