Just a general question: I see a lot of Iron Heart items listed on eBay shipping out of Japan. How legit are these items? Are they authentic Iron Heart or knock offs?

Hi @Merv

True to size....
30 waist in Levis, 32 in IH, 34 in a couple of pairs of chinos. RMC t shirts and sweatpants are size S, sweatshirts M, jackets 38, 40 and 42. US9 in NB, 8.5 in Whites.
Which of those is my true size?

True to Size (TTS)....what the hell does this mean or what are people meaning when they refer to this? It's never made any sense to me.
100% agree, it is one of the most bollocks phrases in an industry full of bollocks phrases and nonsensical myths. Shrink to Fit (STF) winds me up even more. If you start with the wrong size, how the fuck will it shrink to fit?

Shrink to not fit.

@goosehd ok thanks. I’ve just never seen them before. Was just curious. Cheers

@Merv the sellers on eBay from Japan are legit used IH items, but they are folks who are purchasing used clothing from Japanese sites like Mercari, Rakuten, Yahoo Auctions, etc. then giving those an extreme markup to sell them to us. I’ve come to suspect that the stores are all reusing the same pics from the Japanese auction site listings, then tossing the same item up on as many platforms as they can all at once. You’ll see the same item over and over, supposedly from different shops and at different prices. It’s still less of a headache (to me) than using a service like Buyee, but it’s the same exact used Iron Heart from the Japanese market.
