The Evolving Designs From Faux Fur Blanket

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 for clothing is not only the use but also in making some decorations for the home such as throws, faux fur blanket, bedding, and pillows. And aside from these are for fashion accessories and stuffed animals. Creating projects is also a use for this and this may need to be created using sewing machines. Original furs are thicker than fake furs, thus, it needs special machines, or maybe sewed by the use of hands.

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.

Since this is becoming very popular to most fashion designers, they are utilizing it now to incorporate this to their newly made collections. Most modern technologies have been used since it do have provided some additional useful techniques and as well qualities to make the product look more real. The fashion designers now are looking forward on including it to future 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 made in many variety of materials and this includes polymers. The most common polymers used are modacrylics and acrylics, and some other polymer blends. Acrylic polymers are chemicals coming from air, coal, petroleum, water, and limestone. Secondary monomers are also added for improving the absorption of dyes into the acrylic fibers. Modacrylic polymers are made from monomers such as vinyl chloride and acrylonitrile.

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.

Mohair, wool, and silk materials can improve the garment appearance and its look. Polypropylene, cotton, and wool are the type of materials utilized in backing. When imitating the original designs, fashion designers will be matching the colors to the real ones.

There are many advantages and as well disadvantages of this. The advantages include not animal use product, can be sewn easily, and no need for preservation to prevent deterioration. The disadvantages include not letting the skin breathe for insulation, made from polymer materials, and cannot keep snow from melting.
