The surface gloss of the leather is good, and it is very natural and smooth

At present, the leather of leather products on the market is mainly divided into the following types: cow leather, goat leather, sheep leather, pig leather and artificial leather (imitation leather, PU). Therefore, the real leather can be identified according to the type, feel, taste, surface texture, workmanship quality, etc. of the leather when purchasing. When buying genuine leather clothing, try to go to a regular store to buy a brand with good reputation, guaranteed quality and price, and provide good after-sales service.

Leather surface observation:

When you get a leather product, you should first observe the surface texture of the leather, and look at the pores and patterns of the leather. Generally, the surface gloss of the leather is good, and it is very natural. It is smooth and not easy to wrinkle. There are natural pores and patterns on the surface, (The pores and patterns on the surface of different kinds of leather are also different. For example, the pores of pig skin are round and thick, three of which are arranged in a group in a triangle, and the surface is uneven; the pores of cow skin are small, round, evenly distributed, and closely distributed, and the leather surface is bright and smooth; the pores of sheep skin are flat, very clear, and arranged in a fish scale.) However, many of the well made imitation leather materials are very similar to the real leather in appearance, and it is even difficult to distinguish the true from the false in general. However, through careful observation and different identification methods, they are still different from the animal skin. Take observation as an example, look carefully at the pores on the surface of the imitation leather. The pores without the real leather are naturally distributed, and the size of the fake pores The shape and distribution are very uniform. If you can see the bottom material or interface section on the reverse side, it is easier to distinguish.

When buying leather clothes, pay attention to the collar and underarm parts of the clothes. Generally, all the materials of imitation leather are the same, while the genuine leather merchants will put the finer leather on the overall surface and some thicker leather on these parts that are not easy to notice. It can not be generalized, but can also be used as a reference for identification.

Leather feel:

Good leather should have a very plump, soft feel, and a certain degree of extensibility and elasticity. When pressed hard, the leather surface will have wrinkles, and the handle of different leather will be different. For example, pig leather and cow leather are hard, so they are often used to make bags and shoes, while sheep leather is the softest, often used to make leather clothes, leather skirts, and so on. You can also pull the leather slightly to see whether the tear resistance and toughness of the leather are good (too thin leather feels good, but it is not strong enough and is easy to tear). Although the faux leather can achieve the hand feel, it is not as comfortable and smooth as the real leather. It is a little sticky.

Smell and identify:

When identifying, you can smell the smell of leather. The leather smells like leather, while the imitation leather either has no smell or has an unpleasant smell.

Inspection of workmanship quality and auxiliary materials:

The workmanship and quality of genuine leather products should be quite good. The overall leather clothing should be flat without wrinkles, suitable tightness, flat lines, no defects, and the service life of genuine leather clothing is very long, so the requirements for accessories are also quite high. Zippers and buttons are generally high-quality copper products. The interior is mostly made of silk. The seam seam is good, and the trademark and size are correct Clear.

Leather discoloration inspection:

Although some leather products are made of genuine leather, they do not meet the standard requirements, which will also cause a lot of problems for consumers. The biggest problem is the decolorization of leather products, which will affect the quality of the products and the mood of consumers. Therefore, we should also do the decolorization inspection of leather when shopping. If conditions permit, You can use soft white cotton cloth or absorbent cotton to wet the leather surface for 10-20 times, or scratch the leather surface several times when your hands are wet. There is no obvious discoloration of the leather. If there is obvious color on the cotton cloth and hands, it means that the leather products will be discolored.

Tips for identifying leather drips:

According to experts, there is a simple and small way to identify whether it is genuine leather, because pure leather has water absorption and breathability. Drop water on the leather coat. If the leather coat has a sense of water absorption, it is genuine leather; If the water drops fall quickly, it means it is made of artificial leather. You can try it.
