Tips In Finding Out A Real From A Faux Sheepskin Rug

By Jeffrey Reynolds


Human wants does not really end and it cannot be easily satisfied, especially when it comes to clothing. All humans are always discontented about what they have and always look for a new brand of clothing that would suit their style. And almost every week, all the fashion boutiques are releasing a brand new style of apparel just to be in the trend.

Most garments and clothing, especially in those that are in places where cold climate occurs often, are using animals skins because they are very thick and is an effective way in combating the cold weather. Sheepskin is one of those animal skins that have been used by some clothing lines in incorporating in some of their apparels. But you should know that not all clothing lines are using a genuine sheepskin, others only use a faux sheepskin rug.

These faux sheepskins are imitations of real skins of sheep and are usually made of artificial and mixed with plastic fibers. They are used to blend a certain garment in order for it to look more stylistic. If you wanted to buy a garment that is made up of real sheepskin but you do not know how to detect a real one, here are some techniques in detecting one.

See the brand names. It would be advantageous for you if you have some information of brand names which use true skins of sheep. But beware because some brands carry both real and an artificial one. Also, beware of those bringing the name of this certain brand but is actually a fake name. You just have to be watchful.

See the labels. Each original garment often has a label that is being attached. The label of a garment will reveal the composition of that certain garment. They are usually found at the sides and it has a list of the materials being used.

See the price. For the most part, genuine skins are really very expensive. It is because it is very difficult to obtain one. Once you see that the price is at low cost then the garment is more probably artificial.

Feel the item. A true skin of a sheep is certainly soft and smooth to touch. It normally passes through your fingers and it would feel so comfortable. A fake one may be soft but not as soft as the genuine one. It feels a bit coarse compared to the true ones, and it feels so synthetic and a bit sticky since it is also combined with plastic materials.

Strike a pin through the cloth. When you strike the pin through cloth and it passes smoothly then it is probably a synthetic skin because this type is blended with plastic fiber so the pin can run smoothly in it. However, those real skins are very compact and rigid since they really come from real sheep unlike those faux skins which are only artificial. When you strike a pin through a true skin, it would often recoil because of its compactness.

There are numerous boutiques which are offering various items which have a genuine sheepskin. Make sure that you will not be fooled by those who say that they have the genuine material but they actually do not. You must do a thorough research first before planning to buy one.
