If you want to know the leather, you must master the skills of distinguishing the real from the false. We can often hear the word of genuine leather. When we compare the genuine leather with synthetic leather, we used to use this word. Different true leathers have totally different qualities. So their prices are also different.
Pigskin, cow leather, sheepskin, and horsehide are most familiar leather in our life. Cow leather can be divided into buffalo hide and cattle hide. Sheepskin can be divided into goat skin and ovine skin. Sheepskin often has three tiers. Furs leather can be divided into fox furs leather, goat furs leather, rabbit hair furs leather, and mink furs leather. Blue fox, silver fox and red fox are different kinds. There are two kinds: adult goat and underage goat. Rabbit includes straw color rabbit, Rex Rabbit and white rabbit. Mink covers male rabbit and female rabbit. The types of leather and furs leather are very plenty. Here I can not completely list them for you.
Glossy leather is very common in the leather. This kind of leather is good on its tension intensity and it is wearable. In addition, its air permeability is very well. Suede leather's facade is graceful and its air permeability is wonderful. But, it is easy to be dirty and it is hard to keep it clean. If you are in a dirty condition, it will be more difficult. Shoes will collect the dirt in the air and it can be destroyed by water. There is modified leather. On the cover of this leather, we can press different lines. However, to some extent, this kind of leather has bad abrasion performance and air permeability.
Now, companies mainly produce the clothes made of pigskin, sheepskin, cow leather and furs leather.
People process these animals' skins and make clothes for human beings. The same leather can be processed to many different leathers because of the improvement of the technology. Therefore it is hard for customers to discern these different types. We can see to many types in the shops and we can not choose well.
So here are four useful ways of discerning the true leathers from the fake. The first is touch. If it is smooth, soft and elastic, it will be genuine leather. Second, you can observe it. Through your eyes, you can know what kind of leather it is and how well its cover is. The cover of genuine leather has obvious pores and lines. On the cover of synthetic leather, these fake pores are not so distinct. There is a very easy method to distinguish between them. You can see a layer of soft goods on the reverse side of synthetic leather. It is used to increase its tension strength. The genuine leather has not the soft goods. The third one is its smell. Real leather has nothing peculiar smell except the leather's odor. Sometimes the excessive use of industrial chemicals will cause this peculiar taste. The last method is kindling. If you light the genuine leather, its smell is similar with people's alight hair's. Moreover, there is no pimple after being lighted and it will become powder. However, the synthetic leather is different. It brings a penetrating smell and will form a pimple.
