Shanghai Market Supervision Department: 15 Percent Failure Detection Rate For Leather Clothing. How Do You Choose A High-quality Microfiber Leather Jacket?

SHANGHAI, China, Feb 13 (UPI) - The Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Market Supervision has tested products in response to consumer complaints, focusing on more quality issues. ​After testing, six batches were found to be substandard, with a substandard detection rate of 15%. Based on the supervision and sampling results, the Shanghai market supervision department has ordered the relevant operators to immediately stop selling substandard products. Meanwhile, the Shanghai market supervision department reminded consumers to pay attention to the following points when purchasing leather clothing:

How do you choose the right leather product?

• Appearance. The leather should have a good sheen, the dye should be uniform, and there should be no color differences. The surface should be smooth, the grain of the leather meticulous, the luster bright and soft; nor should there be a particularly bright or dull sensation. Under natural light, the surface of leather clothing should be free of insect spots, mildew, patchy residue, tears, etc.
• Touch. The leather feels full, smooth, soft, and supple, and its thickness is even. Poor synthetic leather, however, feels like plastic and performs poorly in recovery.
• Odor. General good leather has a characteristic odor that is not offensive, while poor faux leather gives off an unpleasant odor, and its leathery odor is not easily effaced or removed.

How do you maintain your leather goods?

• Maintenance. Though microfiber leather is anti-moisture, anti-mold and anti-crease, it may still shorten the product service life. Therefore, when wearing leather clothing, avoid oils, acids and alkalis, etc., and be careful of moisture.
• Storage. When a leather jacket is wrinkled, use a non-steam iron with a silk or cotton lining, and gently iron the wrinkles back and forth at a low to moderate temperature, without bringing the iron into direct contact with the surface of the leather. Your leather clothing is sure to be long-service-life and keep a good sheen for a long time.
