      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.

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

          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.

                          Tempted to write to them and thank them for the flattery. But calling them Ultra Heavy Flannel really is a bit rich.....

                              also shocking that it happens to be just slightly heavier than ours.

                                @Alex Maybe they might ask you to stop using the UHF term in stead 🙃

                                    Yes but. Those out there says is heavy.

                                    There no stubbornness compare to Iron Heart.

                                    A lot of the Oz Feels lighter.

                                    Shocking to say it’s heavier.

                                      @Giles @Alex I'd have thought that the terms "UHF" and "Ultra Heavy Flannel" might be trademark-able, but consult an intellectual property lawyer to be sure.

                                            My first thought was: why do that just to save like a hundred bucks? Quality may be good, I have no idea—but I’ll bet it doesn’t match Iron Heart. Couldn’t possibly get the same customer service. So, just why? If it were cheap, that would be another thing—but that’s still a pricy flannel.
