PFAS score
Tie Bar · Neckties
Skinny Necktie + Tie Bar
Lower PFAS concern, conventional neckties rarely treated with PFAS, but brand silence on materials leaves room for uncertainty.
Skinny neckties and tie bars are typically plain woven textiles (silk/polyester) and base metals without water-repellent or stain-resistant finishes. The Tie Bar brand does not disclose PFAS-related materials or certifications.

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.
