Savile Row Men's Leno Weave Check Sport Coat
Lower concern, standard dress wool blend. No PFAS treatment apparent.
Leno weave wool-polyester sport coat with no disclosed water-resistant or stain-resistant finish. Untreated wool blends typically carry lower PFAS risk than water-repellent coating-treated fabrics.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This is a wool and polyester blend in a leno weave (an open, breathable structure). Wool is a natural protein fiber with inherent flame resistance; polyester adds durability and wrinkle resistance but is a synthetic. The leno weave means lower fabric density, which generally reduces trapped chemical residues. Neither material type in this combination is typically treated with heavy dyes or chemical finishes that trigger concern in dress wool blends.
The brand's record and disclosure
Savane is a mainstream menswear brand owned by Savane Inc., focused on affordable dress and casual wear. The brand maintains no public sustainability or materials disclosure standard on its website. No recalls, formaldehyde incidents, or azo-dye controversies are documented for Savane products in public records. Silence on chemical transparency is routine for brands at this market tier but does not indicate active use of restricted substances.
How it compares in its category
Wool-polyester sport coats are a conventional middle-market choice. This blend is chemically simpler than heavily treated synthetic jackets or those with waterproofing overlays. Premium wool blazers may have tighter dye control; fast-fashion alternatives sometimes use lower-grade dyes. Leno weave reduces finishing chemical load compared to tight twill or gabardine structures common in dress coats.
If you buy it
Dry-clean only is standard for wool blends; home laundering risks shrinkage and dye bleeding. Do not expose to sustained heat above 85°C (185°F) in pressing, as polyester can melt or glaze. Inspect seams and shoulder linings after 2-3 years of regular wear for fraying or coating degradation. Store in breathable garment bags away from direct sun to prevent dye fading and dust accumulation.
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 synthetic colorants
Wool blends routinely use azo-class dyes for check patterns. Restricted azo dyes (those releasing aromatic amines) are banned in most Western manufacturing, but enforcement varies. No specific testing of this product is on record; assume standard mid-market dye selection with low but non-zero residual risk.
Formaldehyde-releasing resins in finishes
Wool and polyester blends may receive formaldehyde-based resin treatments for wrinkle resistance or starch finish. Leno weave typically requires less finishing than tight weaves. Off-gassing is heaviest during first few washes; airing before wearing reduces exposure.
Antimony in polyester fiber
Polyester is often manufactured with antimony trioxide as a catalyst; traces may remain in the finished fiber. Skin contact with polyester is low-migration risk, but this hazard is inherent to the material class and cannot be eliminated by brand choice at this price point.
Lining and label adhesives
Shoulder linings and neck labels may use solvent-based glues or synthetic adhesives that off-gas weakly. This is a minor exposure; airing the garment indoors for 24 hours before first wear minimizes any odor or volatile compound presence.
Dye migration during wet care
Check patterns with darker dyes in wool can bleed slightly during initial dry-cleaning solvent exposure. Use a reputable dry cleaner to ensure solvent quality; this is a cosmetic and comfort issue rather than a toxicity hazard.
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.
