Bitch Please… FAKE Iron Heart?

@Daysleepers said in Bitch Please… FAKE Iron Heart?:

Ah. Cracked patch on arrival, just seen a screenshot of the email chain and all adds up!

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?

[Daysleepers]

@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.

I still want to know how IH-666-XHS got stamped on a non XHS patch. We would not have done it....

[NickD]

@Giles is it definitely an IH patch?

[Giles]

Looks like our standard 21oz patch, which is not used for 25oz jeans.....So should never have been stamped IH-666-XHS

[Daysleepers]

@Giles

I am doubtful the chap will have added the stamp. But he agreed I could post the photo he sent me!

Strange

Fucking @JoshC . We should have known he was responsible for this disaster.

If anyone can fix it it’s @JoshC . The man’s a magician

So urm, Josh, how do I go about getting one of those super rare misprint patches

[JoshC]

haha the anarchy @Matt mwahaha, There were a bunch of misprints that we have here, and I’ve started keeping a very small collection from reloves or from people who wanted the leather tab removed and they dont want. That way, if someone damages the patch for any reason, I can usually replace it with something similar for them. I can’t always guarantee the exact same patch, but I normally give customers a couple of close options to choose from.
