DANGER!, THIS IS HOW TO DIFFERENT ORIGINAL OR IMITATION Sheepskin Jackets

 For fans of fashion made from animal skins, it is no longer difficult to tell which leather is genuine and which is imitation. However, for fans who are just starting to enjoy fashion from animal skins, it is highly recommended to listen to some of the tips that we present.

Sharing knowledge is indeed an important and easy thing to do. Moreover, as we know, nowadays there are not a few “bad” sellers who use imitation leather as a basic material. In addition to low prices, imitation leather stock is also much easier to find than sheepskin.

As we know, genuine animal skin, especially genuine sheep, is a feature that distinguishes it from imitation leather. Some of the things below can be tips for those who want to buy a genuine leather jacket but are still unsure about its authenticity.

1. Scent

One thing that is certain about a genuine leather is its distinctive aroma. This is because animal skin before it can be processed must be processed first and with a tanning process.

In this process, ingredients that can affect the smell of the skin are used. The aroma produced depends on the ingredients used. The jacket will smell like chrome if the tanning material used is chrome. Likewise, if the jacket uses oil material, then the distinctive aroma of oil will also be smelled from your leather jacket. Unlike genuine leather, a faux leather jacket will smell like rubber according to the main material it is made of.

Although the distinctive smell is a special characteristic that only leather jackets have, not everyone likes the smell. So to get rid of it, you can use newsprint as a new jacket wrap using the newsprint for a few days.

2. Accessories

As we know, leather jackets are prestige items that are expensive. For that reason, it is impossible for the accessories used on the jacket to use cheap accessories, because it will definitely damage the visuals of the leather jacket.

Therefore, this can be taken into consideration when distinguishing genuine leather jackets from imitation ones. Generally, nylon thread is used to make genuine leather jackets because it creates a shiny effect that adds to the aesthetic value of a jacket.

In addition, the zipper accessories are not arbitrary. Usually, craftsmen use the original YKK type. As for the furing or lining, the type commonly used for genuine leather jackets is Dormeuil England. This is because this type has a smooth and soft texture so it is more comfortable and does not make the user hot.

3. Warranty

Like other luxury goods, genuine leather jackets must also have a warranty provided by the craftsman or the shop that markets them. Guarantees are intended to vary. One of the most common is the guarantee of authenticity. If you get a jacket with fake leather, you will get your full purchase money back.

4. Weight

If you buy a leather jacket from a local craftsman, it will be easy to spot the difference between a genuine leather jacket and an imitation one. This can be observed from the weight. Basically, genuine leather jackets are heavier than faux leather jackets.

This is because local craftsmen use full grain leather. In contrast to outside craftsmen who prefer leather that has undergone an advanced process such as buffed, sanded or split. Therefore, it is more difficult to distinguish imported genuine leather jackets from imitation leather jackets because they are almost the same weight.

 

5. Thickness

As you know, a real leather jacket is going to be heavy. This is because the leather used can be quite thick, which is around 0.6 – 0.7 mm. This size is used for leather jackets for casual fashion wear. However, for motorcycle jackets, craftsmen will use thicker leather, which can reach 1 mm.

To be able to see the thickness of the leather jacket that you will buy, of course you can't use the naked eye. You must provide a measuring tool, it can be a ruler or a cloth tape measure to measure it. It is quite difficult, but it can prevent you from getting a faux leather jacket.

6. Can Adjust Temperature

The advantages of a genuine leather jacket. In cold weather, a leather jacket can store body heat so it will still feel warm. However, it will not feel stuffy because the pores of the leather on the jacket are maintained, in contrast to the faux leather jacket. On the other hand, if the weather is hot, a leather jacket keeps your skin moist and keeps you cool. So you can be sure that this jacket is suitable for all situations and all weathers.

7. Skin Texture Pattern

The pattern on a genuine leather jacket should be irregular. This is natural because genuine leather does have different motifs and textures to distinguish each animal. In addition, on genuine leather you will see pores that do not exist on im skin

8. Skin Fiber

Check the seam gap in the leather jacket. The easiest part to check is at the base of the seam. If in that section there are fibers that are shaped like dried meat, then you can be sure that the jacket is a genuine leather jacket.
