      I semi-drunkenly took my friend down the Iron Heart rabbit hole the other night after he complimented a few pieces I was wearing and said I was always 'so well put together'.

      Was explaining the lifetime repairs policy, and he asked 'but how will they know if it's fake or not?' Fair question, but I just smirked and said 'Oh, they'll know!'

            Here's a bunch of pics. I'm not feeling too worried as this website seems to show an interior shot of some 888D with black pocket bags

              IH-888D
              Last picture on IH-UK shows also a glimpse of the black pockets.

                @Aetas Good find! That eases my mind (not that it needed that much ease, to be honest)

                  I'm pretty sure I've just had a fake pair of 634 delivered from an eBay purchase. Opinions welcome.

                  In addition to what's in the pics there are no hidden rivets on the back pockets either. EBay pics didn't show the pocket bags or label, otherwise I think I would have twigged prior to purchase. The denim is pretty thick for what it's worth.

                    @NickD might just be the non-selvedge 21oz which has a lighter weft like in the photos. Can you post a few more of the back pockets, maybe the of the entire pair?

                      From the photos you have posted, I would say these look like the IH-634

                      That model did have the blue screen printed IRON HEART on the pocket bag, for eg.

                        Edit: although I haven't seen a lot number read only 634 without an S or a Z next to it at least. I don't know everything though.

                          That puts my mind at ease somewhat, thank you. Makes sense why they don't have zipper in that case. I didn't even know they existed, having come to the brand fairly recently.

                          Weird that this pair have hung around for 10 years or so. They were listed as used but have clearly never been worn.

                            Not that odd as we have some members who are collectors and have more denim in storage than some people have in their entire wardrobes.

                              @NickD as far as I know, the non-selvedge versions are available as options in Japan, but not IHUK. Always funny to see them come up in various places, but they’re legit.

                                Pretty cool to have something so different. I used to be pretty snobby about everything being selvedge but I don’t really care anymore.

                                  ...also cool to see it has buttons instead of the zipper in later versions. I am a little picky when it comes to button fly versus zipper.

                                    @Matt easy to say when you have a lifetime supply of selvedge denim in your closet and are able to find even more. Almost like a dark wizard 🤔

                                          While this isn’t claiming to be IH it does evoke a certain pocket design I can’t seem to put my finger on…
