How Do You Identify Genuine And Fake Leather?

The main types of leather are pigskin, cowhide, sheepskin, horse hide and so on.

The cowhide is also divided into yellow cattle skin and buffalo hide, and sheep skin is divided into goat skin and sheep skin.

According to its hierarchy, there are two layers and three storeys.

According to its species, fur and fur are mainly classified as fox fur, goat fur, rabbit fur, fur and fur. Fox is divided into blue fox, silver fox and red fox. Goat is divided into adult goat and immature goat. Rabbit hair is divided into grass yellow rabbit, Rex Rabbit, white haired rabbit and so on. Mink is divided into male and female mink.

There are many kinds of leather and leather.

It is not listed here.

The leather in leather is used in many leather products, because it has good tensile strength, stain resistance, wear resistance and good air permeability.

Suede leather is not only elegant in appearance, but also good in air permeability, but its disadvantage is that it is dirty and not well maintained. Especially in bad environment, suede shoes are easy to breathe in dust.

Leather has a kind of leather called modified leather, and the modified leather is processed and painted on the leather surface, and it can press different lines. Some of the finishing leather is thick, wear-resistant and breathable.

At present, it mainly produces leather garments such as pigskin, sheepskin, cowhide and fur leather. Leather and fur are semi natural and semi processed clothing materials. With the continuous improvement of leather making technology in China, the same type of leather can be added to many different styles of leather, so it is difficult for the consumers to identify the types of leather, and there are many kinds of identification of garment leather.

First, the handle.

Leather touched by hand is smooth if it is smooth.

Two, eye view

It is mainly used to identify the types of leather and the quality of leather. It is observed that there are obvious pores and patterns on the surface of the dermis, while synthetic leather is also imitating pores, but it is not clear at all.

In addition, the reverse side of synthetic leather has a layer of textile as the bottom plate. This textile floor is used to increase its tensile strength, and the reverse side of the leather is not such a layer of textile. This identification is the simplest and practical way.

Three, smell

Good quality skins usually have no peculiar smell. All genuine leather has the smell of leather. If there is a pungent smell, it is possible that the process is not well handled and the use of certain chemical raw materials exceeds the standard.

Four, ignite

The smell of the dermis is almost the same as that of the hair, and after burning it does not knot, and it can be pinched with fingers. The artificial leather gives off pungent odour after burning, and it becomes lump after burning.

Pigskin

1, pig smooth noodles

Ordinary pig smooth noodles are processed on the surface of pig skin after different leather making processes. First, they are pasted and then colored on the surface of the skins. The smooth surfaces of the ordinary pigs are glossy, and the pores are arranged in a regular way. Generally, the three pores are triangular in shape. According to the different regions and the different tannery techniques, the pig smooth noodles are different in quality.

Because of the continuous improvement of leather technology, pig smooth noodles can be processed into many different kinds of skins.

Embossing effect, embossing effect is on the surface of the skin pressure strip, blood stripe and so on;

The effect of lychee grain is sometimes like the effect of coarse grained cowhide, but it is essentially different from that of cowhide.

The characteristics of the litchi pattern are that the skin is thicker and the grain is rough.

The effect of water washing, smooth surface coating of water washing effect is also thin, and the difference between ordinary smooth noodles is not very big, the difference is more soft than ordinary smooth hand.

You can wash the stains on clothes directly.

Wipe the leather. The color of the leather surface and the bottom plate is different. After making the finished product, you can wipe the clothes on the outside of your garment with sandpaper or other raw materials, and turn your clothes into a more fashionable style.

2. Pig head suede leather.

The ordinary head layer suede leather is made from the reverse side of the leather head.

The surface of suede is short and thin with a layer of mercerizing with a strong sense of direction.

Sometimes you can see less pores.

The first layer of suede washed leather is better and more elastic than ordinary suede leather and has a vertical feel than plain suede.

The first layer of suede modified leather is the leather that is positive on the skin or in the modified leather.

It can be used for printing, coating and oil film.

Printing is usually done on the side of the suede and processed into different patterns.

The film is made of a layer of film on the velvet side of the suede leather, which has a layer of bright light. It is a more fashionable leather, but its drawback is its poor air permeability.

3, pig two layer suede leather.

The two layer suede leather of pig is essentially different from the first layer suede leather. Its suede is slightly thicker than the first layer suede and can see the triangular pores on the pig skin.

The softness and tensile strength are far less than that of the first layer suede leather, and the opening of the skin is much smaller than that of the first layer.

The two layer suede can also be processed into many different kinds of modified leather as the first layer suede leather.

Because the price of two layers of suede is cheaper, it does not show the grade of clothing.

So we seldom use this kind of leather in domestic sales.

Two, sheepskin

1, sheep skin

Sheepskin is characterized by its thin skin plate, soft, smooth and delicate handle, small pores, irregular uniform distribution, and oblate shape.

Sheepskin is a leather raw material in leather clothing.

Now the sheep skin has broken the traditional style and processed into many different styles such as embossing, washable, printing and so on.

2, goat skin

The structure of goat skin is slightly stronger than that of sheep skin, so the tensile strength is better than that of sheep skin. Because the skin layer is more thick than sheep skin, it is more durable than sheep skin.

The difference between sheep skin and goat skin is that the skin layer of goat skin is rough, the smoothness is not as good as that of sheep skin, and the handle is slightly worse than that of sheep skin.

Goats skin can now be made into many different styles of leather, which can be washed with imitation leather. This kind of leather is not coated and can be directly washed into the water.

This kind of leather is rolled on the surface of the skin with a layer of oil wax. When the skin is folded or crumpled, it will appear that some of the colors are shallower.

Three, cowhide

Because the cowhide can reach a certain thickness and fastness, it is mainly used for leather and leather shoes.

The characteristics of the cowhide are small pores, evenly distributed, full leather surface, stronger leather than other skins, firm and elastic handle.

There are also more varieties of leather garment leather. At present, the leather made of cowhide is different from that of pigskin and sheepskin.

The two layer of cattle is also used for clothing, but for clothing it is usually two layers of suede leather. The difference between it and the two layer of pig is that the suede fiber is coarser, but there is no pore.

The two layer leather modified by cattle is mainly used for leather products. It is processed on the two layers of cattle to imitate smooth or imitation effect. This kind of leather is difficult to identify.

Four. Fur

Fur clothing can be divided into two categories from its uses: one is to wear clothing for the purpose of protecting the cold, and the other is to wear fur garments for the main purpose.

1, fox fur and leather

Silver fox hair is characterized by relatively long hair, usually 7-9CM, hair needle length is uneven, and more than other fox coarse hair, glossy face.

It is grey and black.

The blue fox is thin and homogeneous, with a glossy face and a shorter length than the silver fox hair. It usually has 5-6CM, and the blue fox has a natural white color.

Red fox hair is similar to the blue fox, but slightly longer than the red fox, full color is red and gray, used for clothing is not dyed.

2, goat fur

The goats' fur is thinning and not easy to lose their hair. The needle is thick and the direction is not complete. The goat leather is full of leather side. It can be made into suede, flower spray, printing and rolling patterns with different effects.

Goat leather can be dyed into different colors.

3, rabbit fur

White haired rabbit

White rabbit fur can be dyed with all kinds of colors needed.

Grass yellow rabbit

Grass yellow rabbit hair needle is slightly longer, and its natural color is usually used on clothing.

Rex

Soft and fine, smooth and delicate, it is not easy to shed hair than other rabbit hair.

Mink fur

Mink has better gloss than other kinds of fur, and it is more difficult to lose its hair by hand touching.

Identification of genuine and fake leather by eye observation: it is mainly used to identify leather types and leather granules, and to observe more obvious pores and patterns on the surface of the dermis. Synthetic leather, though it also imitates pores, is not clear.

Another synthetic leather has a layer of textile on the reverse side as the bottom plate.

The bottom plate is used to increase its tensile strength, and the reverse side of the leather does not have this layer of textile. This identification is the simplest and practical way.
