Bitch Please… FAKE Iron Heart?

[popvulture]

@Oaktavia yeah I love it when they throw that flavor in, like with some of the Self Edge skeleton / moto patches. Would love to see some more of those come back sometime

it were 14oz, the patch would be stitched all the way around, right?

Yep

[Oaktavia]

@popvulture for real that would be awesome

[Tago Mago]

@Giles what is the reason for this? Noticed it on my pair of 14oz and was curious

H does not like the heavy patch on lighter jeans. For that read, the supply of the heavy leather is limited, so he wants to be selective with what he uses it on.

[popvulture]

That’s always made sense to me, more of a Levis style patch on the lighter weight. Feels a little more vintage vs the overbuilt feel of the heavier stuff.

Was curious if I saw an IH N1 in a show and did a quick Google search and found this. Don't know if this really counts since they aren't using your name but they are definitely using your photos on style 2. I mean, they could have at least had the decency to call it Style 1.

@pechelman the internet has no shame!! Always think it’s crazy how some people, usually old folks, can get ripped off by such obvious scams. But it’s everywhere. With AI developing like it is, I’m going to be one of the first to be had!!

Ha, and they have the cheek to put a copyright notice on the bottom of their website.

Hi all, can you help me to confirm whether this IH 666s 14 oz is legit or not? Thanks !

[flannel slut]

@satyatamas sorry man but a few red flags on these… the leather patch appears too thick and most notably the selvedge ID should be red and works inc. should be embossed on the rivets

[satyatamas]

@flannel-slut yeah I think this is a fake.. At first glance the quality looks superb.. the price also too steep at around $150

[popvulture]

I agree, biggest giveaway is the patch. Too thick, plus the lot/size etc typeface is wrong and it looks like it was printed vs stamped.

[Danimal506]

The tags look off too. Especially the smaller one, the string seems wrong to me. Also the W stitching does not look good.

[Oaktavia]

I want to preface this post by saying I know they are not specifically calling it Iron Heart. But come on dude...really? Using the UHF name, double brushed/single brushed, saying they are good to wear in the wind, ombre pattern. Even using copper snaps that IH is known for. It's just so unoriginal and clearly copying the greatest brand on the planet. I'm not saying that these guys aren't making decent products, I have no idea (I've never tried them out, nor will I). It just seems like a blatant knock off. Whenever I see this occur whether it's a copycat horror movie, a ripoff song or whatever, the question I ask myself is: would these exist without it's predecessor? Likely not, at least not in this way. I am sharing my opinion that this is just plain lame my dudes.

@Oaktavia I wouldn’t normally comment but I walked past this a few seconds ago, so I’ll let Anthony Burrill do the talking!

Haha seems sort of fitting that their company is called SoSo.
