How can I tell if beaver fur is real?

Like any fur, real beaver fur is identified by examining the item closely. Real fur will be dense and soft to the touch. To determine if a material is real or synthetic, look at the lining to see if the material is uniform or coarse, indicating it is man-made, or smooth like suede leather, indicating it is a real fur hide. Closely examine the hair as well. Real fur strands will taper into a point, similar to a sewing needle. Experts recommend working with a furrier to confirm the authenticity of any fur item.
