Yes. If it was Ventile, they'd call it Ventile…..People are inclined to think that Ventile is a fabric descriptor like denim. It is not, Ventile is a trademarked product, much like BMW or Ford.
Edit - Chris got there first...
Think of it like this. Rolls Royce is a car, a car is not a Rolls Royce...

It is not Ventile….
They call it #8 Japan cloth 8.3oz.
That is not Ventile. It is what Haraki and I call Jentile. It is a Ventile look-a-like made in Japan.
It's this, so no.

Interesting; Just to play Devil's Advocate, 8.3oz fabric weight as listed on the Gustin site would be 281.42gsm. Ventile does not list that weight on their Web site:

I guess if it's Ventile it would be called Ventile, if not then it's something else albeit similar as the guys have explained.
I would be little concerned that it is being advertised as something it's not.
I would compare Gustin products to similarly priced products in terms of assessing "value" but that said, when it comes to denim for example, with Iron Heart I always know absolutely surely what it is I'm getting. That's part of the premium. I have a pair of Gustin jeans that I took a gamble on. To be fair they were what I expected however were I expecting the same quality for less as I know i would be getting with IH then I would be disappointed. With IH I have never been disappointed and set high standards in expectation of any order.
Anyway, good luck to them though, to say it again, I would not be enamoured with presenting a product that is not what it actually claims to be, on principle.

New to IH (haven't even bought a pair yet) but thought this might be a good place to start. I've got 5 pairs of Gustin and a few other similar brands. But want to move up to a big boy pair of jeans and figured IH has the best reputation. What can I expect? I'd like something in a 18-20oz, tapered, and let's just say a denim that's interesting. I'm just starting my research for my perfect pair.

@DugG personally I'm a fan of the IH over dyed denim but that's just me!

Read that but am one for not stirring up the pot.

Went for the black apron last month or so, interested to see what it's like. Apparently it's 16oz.
