Careful observation of pore distribution and shape shows that natural leather pores are deep and not easy to bottom out, and slightly inclined. Shallow holes and vertical holes can be synthetic leather or modified upper leather.
From the cross-section, the cross-sectional fibers of natural leather have their own characteristics, and the thickness of each fiber layer changes. The surface layer is a finishing agent, while the fibers of synthetic leather are basically uniform in each layer, and the surface layer is like a plastic film. Moreover, natural leather absorbs water easily, while artificial leather is not easy. There are two main types of leather clothes, namely smooth and suede. Suede clothing is also called suede clothing. Fake leather clothing refers to clothes made of synthetic leather or synthetic fiber products made of suede, which are often seen in shops. Compared with real leather, fake leather has many defects, not only internal wearability, but also appearance. Therefore, for our consumers, it is necessary to accurately distinguish between true and false leather clothes. Here are some key points:
(1) Appearance appraisal: Leather smooth clothing has obvious pores, with certain rules, but the rules are not very strong; Often the surface thickness is inconsistent, and some can reveal the scars of animal skin itself; In the unexposed parts of clothes, such as under the collar, under the pocket cover, under the armpit, etc. , using poor quality leather, which is obviously different from the body part (of course, special high-grade leather clothing may be an exception). The appearance of fake leather clothes is not obvious, but it is regular; Uniform surface thickness, no scar; There is no difference in the material between the unexposed part and the front part of the garment. Suede garments are mostly leather garments with uneven appearance texture and different fluff lengths, and vice versa.
(2) Cross-section and leather identification: get a garment and try to find the cross-section and reverse side of its leather to help identify its authenticity. The cross section of leather coat is irregular and fibrous. When nails dig its cross section, it will become fluffy and thick. The end face of artificial leather has regular woven fibers, which are relatively hard. From the reverse side, the dermis is uneven and non-woven fibrous. Most of the reverse side of the fake leather has a woven cloth bottom, and even if there is no woven cloth bottom, the substrate is very uniform.
(3) Handfeel identification: Leather clothing feels comfortable, full, soft and warm. Fake leather feels close to plastic, plump, soft and has no warmth.
(4) Identification of water absorption: The leather surface has better water absorption, while the fake leather, on the other hand, has better water resistance. You can dip your hands in water and smear them on the surface of clothes to observe their water absorption. If the water absorption is good, it is genuine leather. If the water absorption is poor or not at all, it is mostly fake skin.
Pay attention to the following points when choosing leather clothes:
1. Leather: Leather is soft, free from defects, uniform in color and no obvious color difference. Whether the fur is shiny and the color is harmonious. If you touch the fur carefully, you should be able to feel the softness and firmness of the bottom hair, and the needle hair is smooth and soft, not rough and hard.
2. Sewing: The stitches should be straight and tidy, without jumper wires and pinholes exposed after modification, and the hem should be straight.
3. Accessories: the button is in the right position, with good firmness and no defects; The lining should not be too long or too short; Pocket sewing fastness is good; Trademark and size identification are correct and clear.
4, fur collar: fur quality is good, gun hair is smooth, left and right symmetry, color and leather clothing coordination.
5. The difference between genuine leather and imitation leather: genuine leather has a special skin flavor, and there will be a little difference in color and texture; Imitation leather has a plastic taste and feels sticky, and the texture pattern is just a regular simple repetition.
6. Be sure to try it on, so as to feel whether the weight of the clothes is appropriate.
7. Be sure to go to a regular store and buy a reputable leather brand. Not only the quality and price are reliable, but also good after-sales maintenance service can be provided.
8. Pay attention to choosing quality within the price range that you can bear, rather than a little price gap.
