By Jeffrey Reynolds


Almost all people wanted to have brand new clothes that are on the trend. The satisfaction of the people could not be achieved easily. The always look for something new to their eyes that is why clothing shops always releases a bunch of style of clothing that would look appealing to their consumers.

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.

A faux or a fake sheepskin comes from the skin of the sheep and is made with artificial fibers only. They are normally used in order to be a component of certain clothing like jacket or boots. When you are planning to buy some garments but you want to have that genuine skin, here are some tips on how to find out a real from fake ones.

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.

Touch and stroke it. When you feel that the garment is a bit rough then it is probably fake. A genuine skin of sheep is totally smooth and soft upon touching it. A fake one feels coarse because it is only made of manufactured compounds.

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.

Make sure that when you go to your nearest mall, you have the idea on how to detect a genuine sheepskin from a synthetic one. Various boutiques and shops claim that they offer only those garments that have genuine animal skin material. If you are not very watchful and not well informed, you may not be able to detect who is saying the truth and who is not.
