By Scott Walker


A faux fur can also be referred to as fun or fake fur. The materials used are synthetic fibers which resembles it. These are often used in clothing. Productions of these are made in 1929 and its popularity now began rising, most especially when it was credited since it helped the promotion of animal rights and also for organizations of animal welfare. These organizations are considering the products as animal friendly because these were used as an alternative for clothing in original fur.

Faux furs are used not only for clothing but also for stuffed animals, fashion accessories, and some home decorations like pillows, bedding, faux fur blanket, and throws. Other uses of these include making projects and that is why it may be done using a sewing machine. The original wool is thicker when compared to a fake one, thus, it may need a special machine or it may be sewed by hand as well.

Recently, this became increasingly popular in fashion designing. Examples of these fashion are winter clothes such as trapper hats and also jackets. There are many famous designers now who have started on promoting their fake fur collections.

These has become more popular for the fashion designers and they are now utilizing it so they can incorporate it with their latest collections. The newest technologies that are invented today have given so much of added techniques and qualities of making it more look original. Fashion designers are now looking forward to including this in their future fashion collections.

Volume and color are the two main factors that makes the designers love to use fake than the real one. And the reason for this is it can be controlled. Unlike real furs, one can choose any shade and can combine any color to it. These are made durable and resistant to attacks from the environment.

Fake furs were produced in many material variations and one of it are polymers. Acrylic and modacrylic, and also some polymer blends are commonly used. Acrylic polymers consist of chemicals that are from limestones, petroleum, water, air, and coals. A secondary monomer may also be added for the improvement of dye absorption to the acrylic fiber. Modacrylic polymers consist of monomers like acrylonitrile and also vinyl chloride.

Both modacrylics and acrylics are very useful when manufacturing because they are light weight and springy. They are also resistant to soot, heat, sunlight, and smoke. They also are resistant to mildews and are also susceptible from any insect attacks. These materials can dry quickly because it is less absorbent.

Silk, wool, and mohair materials help the improvement of the appearance of garment. Cotton or wool, and also polypropylene are materials that may be used for the backing. In imitating true designs, the designers match colors to original furs.

Aside from those benefits and advantages above, there are other benefits. It includes not using animals as a material, is sewn easily, and no more preservations for deterioration prevention. But it also has disadvantages including no insulation for the skin, used are polymer materials, and may not keep on re freezing snow.
