Know If a Leather Garment is Any Good For Its Price

 Did you ever wonder why designer clothes are so expensive compared to ordinary "brand-less" fashion items? When the two leather jackets at times come very similar both in appearance and the touch? And other times, you might find yourself wearing cheap garments that last for "decades" and still look like a new? The truth is it does not matter how much you pay for a piece of leather garment, but what does make the difference is the construction of the cloth itself.

This article will go over some of the tips to help you identify the true value of a leather garment, (or any types of fabric in general) both in design, quality and durability terms. We will leave the designer - and brand name aspects to the side, as in reality, some cheap T-Shirts from K-mart can easily beat designer tops both in price, wearing comfort and look.

The very first thing you can do to check fabric quality of any garment is to touch it. Good fibers are often soft and give good sensation to the touch. Even rough textures from fabric like linen, corduroy, after few good processing cycles come out soft and easy to drape. By sensing the fiber with your finger, you will also be able to tell whether its natural fabric like authentic leather skin, cotton, silk, or synthetic from polyester types like nylon and Lycra trying to mimic real stuff..

Next, look into the inside finish of the garment. High fashion equal great look and long wear. Quite often, if you are paying a good some of money for let's say a fancy leather jacket; expect to see fancy linings inside. So what's the difference between fancy lining and cheap lining? Well, fancy grade often has prints or some forms of woven texture. It also feels very smooth and slippery for easy pulling in and out. Good lining often comes very shiny, though you might still find more matte finish in menswear, especially in suit jackets.

Now have a closer look at the pocket and their openings. If you pay the glamor price - check that these pockets are sewn up to perfection - brilliantly squared corners and elegantly shaped curves, and flawlessly executed top stitches with strong thread over the leather.

What else to check? Origin of country of course! While these days it's hard to find anything not made in Asia, you should not be paying thousands of dollars for couture clothes unless they have been crafted to the highest level of perfection possible with meticulous attention to every single detail, such as zips, studs, buttons and laces.

Lathering Up With Your Dog

  Quality time. We all want it. We all need it. And so do our pets. Bath time can provide just that for you and your dog. On almost a weekly basis I find myself soaking wet, laughing as I brace myself for the "big shake"! When my baby shakes it is no small matter, see, he is 175 lb. Great Dane, Olliver. I have heard people say they don't believe in bathing their dog very often. That it is too harsh on their skin and hair. But actually the natural oils come back in about 24 hours and if you use a quality product you shouldn't notice any extra dryness, flaking or itching. Fortunately I an a stylist and have access to professional pet products from one of my distributors and my baby does very well. We bathe so frequently because he is a visiting animal at the local hospital where we volunteer and it is required before we visit. Typically a bathe every couple of months or just when they get "doggie smelling" is sufficient. When started early bath time can be suc...
