Ways to differentiate natural from synthetic or faux fur hats:
Look for labels when you buy a hat.
As the value of utility and quality of natural is more than a synthetic fur, therefore, the price of the faux hat will be relatively lower! So, do not let the price fool you in any way.
When you slide your fingers through a real fur a smooth, soft and sleek feel will pass through your fingers. On the other hand, faux furs are comparatively coarse and rough to touch!
Check the base of the fur for skin or fabric-checking the base of the fur can help you identify a real fur hat from a faux. When you push aside the fur and look at the material at the base, if you find the base to be white or tan, then it is natural. On the other hand for a faux fur had you will probably find threadworks beneath the fur.
Check the tips of the hairs- If you minutely go through the structure of the hairs in the fur you will that the hairs in a natural fur will taper. This can be done by plucking out one of the longest hair and examining it.
The burn test- This can be done to find out that a hat you had in possession is a real fur or a faux. Like human hair, the hair of the animals smells the same when burned; while fake fur hats made out of petrochemicals or polyester does not. We recommend that you do not conduct the test with the furs intact to the garments. The test should preferably be conducted by an adult who has a good sense organs.
