Bitch Please… FAKE Iron Heart?

[Megatron1505]

Some parts of SE Asian culture are very status based, for those who can't afford the real thing these fakes give the illusion of status. There must be a market or they wouldn't be produced.

Trust me, when I had a little campaign against these assholes last year the argument I constantly got from their punters in that they love Iron Heart/ Samurai/ Momotaro but cannot afford the price, whether they are obviously fake does not enter into their thinking..

Weird I know.

Even at first glance I thought something looked wrong with the tag. No model number? No size?

Then they clearly say "…Iron Heart replica..."

Does that fly button say "IRCN HEART"?..lol

[PSB]

Hahahahaha. It definitely does say "IRCN HEART". That's great.

It already vanished from the bay…

[Seul]

If it hadn't I would've reported it…

[Chris]

I did.

[Seul]

My man…

This is a fake, or no? The fabric looks overdyed. Has there been an OD riders? http://m.ebay.com/itm/IRON-HEART-IH-527J-DENIM-21-OZ-RIDERS-JACKET-SIZE-38-/281918312165?nav=SEARCH

DougNG's was overdyed, or is my memory failing me?..

[Chris]

Yeah, he had the brown duck riders jacket and Haraki did a one off OD job on it.

[sabergirl]

The jacket in that listing isn't duck–looks like a denim. Weird.

Yeah, looks like denim to me, too.  Wrong size to be Doug's.  Maybe his inspired someone else to try it?

[Seul]

I figured Doug bought a size small to keep the guns on his nightstand warm…

I was coming to this thread to report that riders jacket on eBay, but looks like you guys beat me to the punch. Amazingly the auction is still up.

[Seul]

Has anyone reported it?.. And more importantly: has it been confirmed a fake?.. The seller's from Sweden… I love the Swedes!.. Benefit of the doubt 'n all that!..

[sabergirl]

I decided not to report it, because after all the back and forth I wasn't sure if it's fake. Doesn't look like any fabric I've seen on a rider's but I've only been iron heart obsessed for a little while compared to some.

It looks like someone got some Rit Dye in black or navy blue. I doubt anyone made a fake riders jacket, but it does look like a much older version. I would ask G-Man for a confirm or find someone who bought one of those jackets like 7-8 years ago.

I'm not sure it is possible to confirm without having the jacket in hand. It definitely has an odd hue to it which I guess could be age or long term light exposure. The details of the jacket look ok but for some reason the whole package looks off.

Yep, looks like a DIY dye job on an old 21oz riders jacket. You can occasionally see those older type rider jackets with similar tag and two button collar latch for sale on the japanese Yahoo auctions site.
