The Difference Between Artificial Leather And Genuine Leather Is &Nbsp; This "Leather" Is Not The Same As "Leather".

Down Jackets

But for the "Chaozhou" people, it is not easy to wear the oversized down garment. Therefore, the fashionable and warm leather clothing has become the "magic weapon" for the "tide people" to keep the cold in winter.

However, in the face of hundreds of yuan to several thousand yuan leather clothing on the market, many people have made trouble: they are all fur coats. Why are they so large? What are the differences between these fur coats?

Mr. Zhang in Jianxi district is a "tide man".

Recently, he bought a fur coat at a leisure wear shop in Wanda Plaza, but only 3 days after wearing it, he found that the cuff of his fur coat was badly worn. He went to the merchant to ask for a claim.

The answer is that cuff wear is caused by Mr. Zhang in the process of wearing.

Mr. Zhang is very puzzled: "this dress is also said to be cortical, wear it for 3 days on the wear and tear like this, too fragile."

During the consultation process, the businessman told Mr. Zhang that the texture of the fur coat is artificial leather, not genuine leather, so it is different from the quality of the fur coat.

The explanation of the businessman made Mr. Zhang very puzzled. When he first bought it, the salesman told him that the clothes were "leather" and did not say "artificial leather".

"When the salesperson told me that the clothes were" leather, "I thought it was a real leather coat, and I didn't think much about it.

Mr. Zhang said.

At present, businessmen have sent Mr. Zhang's fur coat to the manufacturer to identify leather cuffs.

2. asked about the texture of clothing, merchants collectively referred to as "leather".

In December 1st, the reporter visited 8 clothing stores in our city, and found that these shops were sold with leather clothing, and they were very popular. When asked about what materials the clothes were, the reply given by merchants was "leather".

In a clothing store called Cardanro in the old city, a lady and a cotton leather coat sold for only 298 yuan, and the price was lower after the discount.

When asked about the texture of the garment, the salesperson said, "the clothes are leather and cotton is very warm."

In a Semir store, a thickened men's leather coat costs 598 yuan. When asked about the material of the garment, the salesperson told the reporter that it was "leather".

When the reporter immediately asked what skin it was, the salesman replied, "it is a superior PU (leather), which is similar to the quality of the genuine leather and is cheaper than the genuine leather."

In a clothing store visited by journalists, the price of non leather fur clothing ranges from 200 yuan to more than 900 yuan. When introducing goods, businessmen usually emphasize the warmth and style of leather clothing. The texture of leather clothing is often referred to as "leather". Only when consumers ask what is "leather", will they give a reply to "PU" or "wash skin".

3. "old cobbler" weapon: look at the price, two look at the material.

Then, when consumers buy Leather clothing, how to judge the quality of leather clothing? A master who has been engaged in fur making for more than 40 years in southern street in the old town, gives you advice.

"When you buy leather, you must first look at the price. The most common and cheapest leather coat is at least 850 yuan."

Master Zhou said.

Master Zhou introduced the most common goat skin in leather clothing as an example. The wholesale price of the leather is 13.6 yuan / square foot, and the average leather coat of a male man needs at least 37 square feet of leather. The leather for women's leather needs 30 square feet of leather. Only the cost of leather material needs 400 yuan to 500 yuan. If the fruit coat needs to be thickened, plus the cost of wool and fur, the cost of the fox sweater collar should be increased 1 times, and it needs 1000 yuan.

"Plus the brand of fur clothing, at least doubled the price."

Master Zhou said.

Consumers can also discern the texture of leather by hand and eye.

"The skin is not real leather with good hand feel, uniform texture, and no pore marks."

Master Zhou said, because the artificial leather is polished by various processes, it feels better than the genuine leather, and the texture is very uniform. The texture of the abdominal skin is coarse.

In addition, at the seams of clothing, due to the procedure of glue and sewing of genuine leather, the seams of leather clothing are wrinkled and uneven, and the joints of artificial leather are relatively smooth.
