Jacob Alexander Men's Uniform Solid Clip-On Tie with Buttonholes
Lower concern; standard tie with no obvious PFAS triggers, but no transparency from brand.
This is a basic polyester clip-on necktie with no water-resistance, stain-resistance, or nonstick properties that would typically warrant PFAS coatings. The brand makes no claims about PFAS or material safety. No third-party testing or certifications are publicly available.

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.
