Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

There have been news reports lately about garments that are labeled as faux fur but are actually made of real fur. The fur comes from animals like rabbits, coyotes and the wild raccoon dog. Since the science and technology for developing faux fur that looks and feels just like the real thing has evolved significantly, you might ask how you can tell which is which? Faux fur is softer than most real fur. Look at the ends of the fur: If it tapers to a fine point, it’s likely real; if the strands are consistent in width root to tip, it’s likely fake. And the final test? If you can burn a few strands, you’ll know for certain: Real fur smells like human hair being burnt.
