Brooks Brothers Men's Stretch Supima Cotton Non-Iron Dress Shirt
Moderate concern: non-iron finish likely uses PFAS, but no confirmation available; Brooks Brothers silent on PFAS.
This dress shirt combines Supima cotton (a safer base fiber) with a non-iron/permanent press finish, a category historically treated with PFAS-based resins to lock in wrinkle resistance. Brooks Brothers does not disclose PFAS use or absence.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 52% 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.
