Peter Millar Mens Necktie Charcoal Grey Diamond Grid Geometric Silk
Lower PFAS concern; untreated silk necktie carries minimal risk.
Peter Millar's silk necktie is made from a natural fiber with no engineered water-repellency, stain resistance, or nonstick coating, the primary vectors for PFAS in apparel. The brand does not disclose PFAS use or absence. Untreated silk neckties present lower PFAS concern than performance fabrics with water-repellent coating treatments.

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.
