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 clothing nowadays is always associated with the skin of animals and one of which is the sheepskin. A sheepskin is a hide or a skin of a sheep which are use for human clothing, accessories, house decorations and others. But not all uses true skins of sheep, especially in rugs, some cloth factories are just using 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.

Look at the label. A garment usually has an attached label. The label would actually tell you what constitutes the garment. The labels are often attached at the sides, especially in a garment like the jacket.

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.

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.

Stick a pin through it. Once you stick a pin in a genuine skin, they are likely to bounce back and it is very hard to actually push the pin right through it. This is because a genuine one has a very thick and compact composition. However, if the pin passes smoothly without any resistance then it is likely to be fake because fake skins are usually made of plastic materials which made it easy for the pin to pass through it.

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.
