    @Alexey164 ...to be honest, my gut is screaming these are fake and I hope you didn't pay too much.

    Edit...and I don't put a lot of faith in the "collaboration" story to explain all of the red flags.

      @goosehd I paid $200 for them, but again, judging by the quality of the seams, denim, salvage edges, it seems like this is some kind of special version

        Ask what the "special" collaboration was. If it was a lightweight collab, there is virtually zero chance it would be stamped XHS.

          And we used those bronze unbranded fly buttons on quite a few different models, so that does not mean that they are fake.

            @Giles Thanks G for posting that picture...one I was unaware of and appreciate the knowledge!

              That is from the DC4001's

                Does anyone else think that the button's look mangled compared to the picture that Giles just posted?

                  What I want to know is does the denim feel like XHS, if not, then they are likely fake.

                      I cant tell from pics I am afraid. Try weighing them.

                        to my non-expert eye, that looks like 25oz denim. Picked out arcs, right stitching and construction, branded stamps on rivets, etc.

                        If you were to fold these up as if they sat at a store, how thick are they? Can you weigh them? Do you have other IH jeans to compare that to?

                              @Alexey164 I was asking for the thickness when folded.
                              Real 25oz is a really chunky fabric and about ~2x as tall when folded as my 21oz'ers iirc.

                                  unless the prontos are wet, the 666's are resting on the table, or those 2 jeans are a vastly different cut/size, that lower weight is a red flag.

                                    @pechelman Pronto and 666 are equally dry, lie on a tray), the thickness is actually thinner

                                      My 666 xhs weigh 46 oz....Pretty sure your pair are fake.

                                      Edit: Even my 21oz 666's weigh more than your pair...sorry for the bad news.

                                        Any chance those could be 14oz'ers? I dont recall that denim being so hairy though.
                                        Clearly someone's picked out the pocket arcs already, it wouldnt surprise me if they picked off the thinner fully sewn patch and replaced it with this mismatched one. Any chance you can see any remnants of stitches there?

                                          I'm not convinced they are fake, they just aren't what they say they are......
