First, observe the texture and hair length
- Look inside: The inside of real fur is made up of real fur, while the inside of fake fur is made up of some fibrous fabric, or fabric coated with a layer of foam. You can see the texture and length of the fur inside.
- Look at the hair length: the hair length of real fur is generally the same, while the hair length of fake fur will have different lengths, some places are very short, some places are very long, resulting in the whole fur looks more unbalanced.
- Feel: Real fur is very soft and feels very good, while fake fur often doesn’t feel like the real thing and is usually harder and rougher.
Second, observe the appearance - Look at the color: If it is real fur, the color will be more natural and high gloss. If it is fake fur, the color will be more fake, and the gloss is not good.
- Look at the cut: real fur is cut more evenly, and fake fur will have a lot of untidy places.
- Look at the amount of hair: the amount of hair in real fur is very sufficient, and it is more fluffy than fake fur.
- Use fire test
When a lighter is used to light a pinch of fur, if it is real fur, it will burn like hair and have a visible scorch mark, but if it is fake fur, it will turn into a hard black ball with a burnt smell. - Use wire drawing test
Put a pinch of fur hair on the center of your hand and forcefully pull the hair in one direction, if it is real fur, the hair will naturally bounce back and maintain its original shape, but if it is fake fur, the hair will not bounce back and there will be some noticeable breaks.
In general, to distinguish the true and false fur needs to pay attention to a comprehensive consideration of many factors, not just look at a single point, it is recommended that consumers must go to the regular shopping malls or brand flagship stores when buying fur, so as not to buy fake and shoddy products
