The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This blazer is a wool and polyester blend, a common mid-range suiting material. Wool provides structure and durability; polyester adds wrinkle resistance and reduces shrinkage. The blend avoids 100% synthetic construction, which typically carries higher VOC and flame-retardant treatment risks. Standard tailored blazers like this one receive minimal chemical finishing compared to performance or treated fabrics.
The brand's record and disclosure
Savane is a subsidiary of Perry Ellis International and has no public record of sustainability certifications, chemical disclosures, or major safety recalls related to this product line. The brand maintains industry-standard manufacturing but does not publish restricted substance lists or PFAS policies. No controversies or third-party violations are documented for this blazer.
How it compares in its category
Wool-polyester blazers occupy a middle ground in safety. They avoid extreme dye loads common in deeply saturated synthetic fabrics and typically receive fewer finishing chemicals than performance or water-resistant wool blends. Premium heritage brands often offer superior documentation; budget fast-fashion alternatives may use cheaper dyes with higher heavy metal risk. Savane sits at standard retail tier expectations.
If you buy it
Dry-clean according to label; home washing in cool water is generally safe if you prefer it, though dry-cleaning preserves structure. Air-dry only; heat from dryers or pressing can degrade polyester and should be minimal. Inspect seams and lining after 1-2 years of regular wear for pilling or degradation. Store in a breathable garment bag away from direct light to prevent dye fading and fiber weakening.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Azo dyes and heavy metals in dyes
Navy blazers rely on indigo or synthetic azo dyes to achieve color depth. No public test results exist for this specific product, but wool-polyester blends in this price tier may contain trace heavy metals (lead, cadmium) in dyes. Wear presents negligible risk; the hazard is primarily manufacturing and end-of-life disposal.
Formaldehyde resins in fabric finishing
Standard tailored blazers typically receive light formaldehyde-based resin finishing for wrinkle resistance and seam stability, especially in the polyester component. Off-gassing is minimal in blazers compared to bed linens or activewear but may occur in the first few wears. Ventilation and a wash or air-out before wearing reduces any exposure.
Antimony in polyester
Polyester is commonly produced using antimony as a catalyst; residual amounts may remain in the fiber. Skin contact exposure from wearing is extremely low. No specific testing for this Savane product is publicly available, and antimony leaching from polyester apparel is not an established consumer health concern.
Flame retardants
Standard blazers do not require flame-retardant treatment under consumer safety regulations. Savane does not disclose use of added flame retardants in this line. Wool itself has inherent flame resistance, reducing the need for chemical additives.
Lining degradation and delamination
Extended wear and dry-cleaning cycles can cause lining to separate from the shell fabric. While this is a durability issue rather than a direct toxicological hazard, exposed interior construction adhesives (typically polyurethane-based) should not contact skin regularly. Quality construction and proper care extend lining life.
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.
