      Just a general question. I’m relatively knew to Iron Heart and the Selvedge/Heritage clothing world. I gradually building a new collection of clothes (so far, almost all Iron Heart). My question is. Is there risks when purchasing something second hand from E Bay, Vinted etc. Do fake copies exist? How high are the risks. I’m in the UK and I’m talking about UK sellers. I don’t normally buy pre worn clothes, but if it’s nearly new, or hardly worn etc. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer 👍

        There have been a few confirmed examples of fakes, some of which have been detailed in the thread titled 'Bitch Please… FAKE Iron Heart?'

        I'm also UK based, and have bought numerous pieces on the secondary market with great success.

        With IH being such a niche, 'quality centric' brand it's unlikely people would create fakes at scale, as the mass market demand for them just isn't there, and if one did slip through the net, I'd like to think the fact it was fake would be immediately obvious based on the quality of the garment.

        If you're ever unsure, you'll likely get the opinions of crew members and seasoned IH fans by posting pictures of the items in question on the thread I mentioned previously.

          Basically people can’t fake us, if they try it’s usually laughable

            And this is more of a philosophical point of view. If you can’t tell, does it matter?

                  @Anesthetist everything I have bought so far has been direct from visiting IH or from Rivit and Hyde, it now and again there’s some pretty good deals pop ip and I just wanted to educate myself, should I be tempted. Thanks for you your help

                    @Giles thanks Giles, that was my thoughts on it. And although I’m reasonably new to the product I have enough pieces already to have a good understanding of the build quality. Really appreciate your guidance 👍

                      @T4920 thank you. You’ve put my mind at rest. That’s what I thought would be the case, but it’s always better to ask people more knowledgeable. I’m a great believer in “there’s no such thing as a stupid question”. Thank you for taking the time to respond 👍
