By Scott Walker


Fake or fun furs are two other terms for faux fur. Synthetic fibers are materials used for producing this and usually, these are used for clothing. From the year 1929, it became more popular. The production of this has been credited because it has made promotions on the animal rights and as well as for the animal welfare organizations. These are the organizations who considered these as animal friendly products since these are made as alternatives for real 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.

It is increasingly utilized recently for fashion designing. An example of faux furs in fashion designing are trapper hats and jackets. These are usually used in winter clothing. A lot of popular designers are now starting promotions on their collections for fake fur.

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 acrylic and modacrylic became so useful in manufacturing the product because they are light in weight and are springy. These have also smoke, sunlight, heat, and soot resistance and as well resistance for mildews and are susceptible on insect attacks. The materials may dry quickly since they are made 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.
