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.

A sheepskin is just one of the materials that are often used in clothing and in other decorations. Clothing, nowadays, are often combined with the skins of some animals and these are made especially in the place where the climate is very cold. However, not all shops are using the real skins of sheep, some only used faux sheepskin rug.

A faux sheepskin is a fake skin of the sheep and is made of synthetic fibers designed to resemble fur, normally as part of a piece of clothing or any other accessories. There are already many clothing nowadays that are using these skins because of its smooth and soft fur. If you are planning to buy clothing like a jacket or boots or any other accessories, here are some ways on how to determine a real from a faux skins of sheep.

Glance at the brand names. Keep in mind that there are brand names which are using both the synthetic and the real ones. If you have an idea as to what brand names are using the true ones then use it as your advantage. Never forget also to be aware of those that are bringing a brand name but is actually fake.

Examine the label. Each and every genuine clothes has a hooked up label. The labels of clothes and garments are normally found at the sides, like in a scarf and in a jacket. The labels of every garment would speak of what comprises the clothing itself.

Ask for the price. If upon asking the price, the saleslady would tell you cheaper price then doubt it. Genuine sheepskins are definitely costly because it is not easy to acquire one. If the garment is really using a genuine skin, they would really put a higher price in it because aside from being hard to acquire it, the supply is also low.

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.

Stick a pin over the item. This is an important method in detecting a true skin from an artificial one. If upon sticking the pin, it feels very smooth and the pin passes through effortlessly then it has a higher chance to be synthetic. The texture of a real skin of sheep is very tight and compact because it really comes from the animals itself and if you stick something over it, it would normally bounce back because of its thick texture.

There are actually a lot of shops out there who are offering products that they said are made of real sheepskin materials but it turns out to be synthetic. If you are not familiar with the material, you could easily be persuaded. If you are really planning to have real skins of sheep, better try to do a research first before heading directly to the mall.
