SMU Leeward Men's Gingham Lightweight Wrinkle-Free Moisture Wicking Dress Shirt
Wrinkle-free dress shirts commonly use PFAS-based finishes; Mizzen+Main's silence on treatment chemistry is a red flag.
This shirt's 'wrinkle-free' and 'moisture-wicking' performance finishes typically rely on fluorochemical treatments (PFAS) in the industry standard. Mizzen+Main makes no public disclosure of fabric treatments, chemistry, or PFAS testing.

Why this grade
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment

Vague safety claims only

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% 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.
