Pacific Silvercloth is a widely recognized brand name that has a long history of preventing tarnishing to sterling silver articles. However, like the brand name "Kleenex" which is regularly used to refer to any brand of tissue, Pacific Silvercloth is being used to sell other manufacturers' tarnish-preventing fabrics. So how can you tell you're getting the "real thing?"

Authentic Pacific Silvercloth is always brown because the embedded silver particles will catch the gases that would otherwise tarnish the silver articles inside, causing the brown fabric to discolor to various shades of brown. Other manufacturers' products are not embedded with silver but are treated with other metals, such as zinc, and do not discolor. Also, authentic Pacific Silvercloth is 36-38" wide, whereas other products are always wider, and as other manufacturers' products are also available in brown and look very similar to Pacific Silvercloth, you can identify authentic Pacific Silvercloth by the width. And, finally, because Pacific Silvercloth is always brown, you can be assured that any other color is not authentic.
