      The other thing that has me questioning is that the tag looks ratty:

        Look back starting at page 18 on this thread (for those of us who have the infinite scroll setting off). Been down this road before, unfortunately.

            I think it is fake. The IHSH-146 came with a blue tag......

              The snaps are not correct. The lighter weight snaps say BELNAP on them, and the female part look’s totally different.

                There are lots of fake sites and products out there at the moment. Please be really careful. If you buy from one of our retailers - great. We list them all on the main site. If you buy from us, the ONLY domain name you will see at checkout is ironheart.co.uk

                Anything other than that is a scam.

                We do not sell goods to any large marketplaces, amazon, aliexpress etc. These will all be fakes.

                      Yeah... I've also been duped with fake Iron Heart jeans. I naively thought fake clothing was only an issue with "status symbol" brands like Gucci 😂

                      anyway, to make the best out of what is actually a decent Chinese product (I very much overpaid for..)
                      I decided to make some changes.

                        I’m in the market for some jeans. As always. This is off, right?

                          It’s a genuine patch, but the denim looks a little slubby and light for xhs.

                            @sabergirl can 21oz be XHS? Seller says they’re over dyed slubby. They’re slubby for sure.

                            I want some heavy 666s in this size. So I’m investigating!

                                The XHS on the label specifically refers to 25oz denim. Iron Heart has different labels and naming practices for each denim. The slub labels say SLB. The only way that patch would be on a pair would maybe be a sample? I also seem to recall the SLB has the lighter weight patches since it’s a 16 oz denim @Daysleepers

                                  There’s a lot wrong here. The patch is a standard patch, not a 25 oz patch. 25 has its own patch regardless of model. Also there are stitching holes in the left side of the patch border and not the right. There shouldn’t be any. From what little we can see of the jeans they are definitely not 25 oz but do appear to be od slubby which could make them either 16 oz or Self Edge 19 oz or neither if they are total fakes and not just slubs with a different patch sewn on. We’d need to see more of the jeans to see if they’re IH or not.

                                    There is alot wrong there as @Matt said. The patch alone will make me to stop investing anymore time into finding out what they are. Move on and dont waste your time.

                                      My thoughts are that since the patch was cracked on arrival, perhaps IHUK sent the customer a 21oz "replacement" patch they had in the shop. They just did not have a 16oz slubby patch laying around so they sent the 21oz instead. That one appears on samples and random jeans that do not match the patch. The reason I thought of this is because I requested a patch one time after I was inquiring about why the 21oz OD vest didn't have a patch on it. IHUK stated that they didn't have a patch to match but had others and I figured any patch would do, so they sent one. It was 666XHS but on a 21oz patch like this one. Anyway, I could be totally wrong here. But those do look like OD slubby I have seen photos of on the forum as well.

                                        @Oaktavia. This 21oz patch says 666HXS. Is that even coherent? In other words IH makes patches that say 21 and HXS at the same time?

                                          @Oaktavia this is the answer. He showed me a screenshot of the email with IHUK explaining exactly that.

                                          Replacement patch, not matching and happy to send it if that works. So the chap has sewn it on there himself.

                                          Not heavy enough for my needs right now but I am now confident they’re legit. Just badly labelled.

                                            @yannis haha I hear ya I swear I had one a few years ago and have seen them on patches somewhere on here before. I can't explain it.

                                            @Daysleepers It definitely looks like it was done at home. Extra holes and what look like scratches around the holes. Which is what happened to my patch when I tried sewing it on. I kept missing the holes and fucking it up I just gave up and after I realized it wasn't happening.
