Nudie Jeans Rad Rufus
Lower-concern baseline; no known water-repellent coating treatment, but brand opacity on finishes limits confidence.
Nudie Jeans Rad Rufus is raw cotton denim with no disclosed water-repellent or stain-resistant finish. Standard untreated denim presents lower PFAS risk than water-repellent coating-treated apparel.

Why this grade

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.
