Now goat skin can be made into many different styles of leather, which can be washed to imitate old leather. This kind of leather has no coating and can be directly washed in water. It does not discolor and has small shrinkage. Goat skin is mostly used to make shoe upper leather, garment leather, glove leather, silver bag and some women's bags. So how to identify true and false goat skin? I was cheated for so many years.
How to identify true and false goat skin? 1. Hand touch:
That is to say, if you touch the leather surface with your hand, if you feel smooth, soft, plump and elastic, it is genuine leather. However, if you touch the edge of the upper near the sole with your finger, small wrinkles will appear if it is cow leather. When the finger is released, the wrinkles will disappear naturally. This is not the case with synthetic leather.
2. See:
There are clear pores and patterns in leather, uniform pores in cattle hide, thick and sparse pores in yak skin and fish scale pores in goat skin. It refers to artificial leather and synthetic leather. It has no pores. No matter how much the synthetic leather like 'imitation sheepskin' is imitated, careful observation can also show the traces after molding and pressing.
3. Smell:
All leather has the smell of leather, while artificial leather has the strong plastic smell, and there is no hair smell when burning. Ignite: tear off a bit of fiber from the back, ignite, hair smell, not hard pimple is the real leather; pungent smell, pimple is artificial leather.
