Genuine or a Fake?
Ever wondered why designer leather garments are so expensive as compared to ordinary brand-less leather items? Or how to differentiate between genuine and fake leather?
The very first thing you can do to check fabric quality of any garment is to touch it. Good fibers are often soft and give good sensation to the touch. Even rough textures from fabric like linen, corduroy, after few good processing cycles come out soft and easy to drape. By sensing the fiber with your finger, you will also be able to tell whether its natural fabric like synthetic leather skin, cotton, silk, authentic or synthetic from polyester types like nylon and Lycra trying to mimic real stuff..
Often when someone is buying an expensive leather jacket, he/she would expect to see fancy linings inside. But ask yourself, how would you know what fancy lining feels like? Well, fancy linings will always have certain prints of a particular woven texture. It feels smooth and slippery while your you're slipping it in or out.
