PFAS score
Uniqlo · Stain-Resistant Jeans
UNIQLO Men's Slim Straight Jeans
Lower-concern basics, plain cotton jeans carry minimal PFAS risk, but Uniqlo discloses nothing about finishes.
UNIQLO's slim-straight jeans are 100% cotton with no advertised water-repellent, stain-resistant, or nonstick finishes, the primary vectors for PFAS in apparel. However, Uniqlo is silent on any dyes, finishing treatments, or supply-chain PFAS use. Independent testing of Uniqlo garments has not been widely published.

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.
