PFAS score
Nordstrom · Stain-Resistant Jeans
Carhartt Work In Progress Landon Jeans in Blue (Heavy Bleached) at Nordstrom, Size 38 X 32
Lower PFAS concern, untreated cotton denim has minimal legacy risk, but no brand transparency on dyes or finishes.
Carhartt WIP Landon jeans are primarily 100% cotton with no documented water-repellent or stain-resistant coating, the main PFAS vector in apparel. Heavy bleaching and indigo dyeing are standard processes unlikely to introduce legacy PFAS, though Carhartt provides no public disclosure on chemical inputs.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 78% 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.
