Counterfeit Iron Heart Tee

[nicky12]

Recently bought an iron heart Tee from a local second hand shop. The t shirt is new but there are some subtle differences in the screen printing when I checked them against the site. I haven't heard much about fake Iron hearts but I am doubting this tee's authenticity.

Some observations:

1. Small Difference in screen printing/Unclear print
2. Side seams (Small size) despite being loopwheeled

This is the IHT 1507 Piston shirt

Could anyone advise?

If is a size Small and has side seams, then yes, it's counterfeit.

Hi this is a picture of the inner shirt. The thing is everything else resembles the other authentic IH tees I have. chain stitching, thickness of the cotton, feel of the cotton. A few more observations are that the bottom tag is not there and that the length is longer than my other S shirts.

That is 100% fake…..

Thank you very much Chris and Giles. You guys have been a great help and its sad to see Ironheart's amazing products being counterfeited. If anything it is because Ironheart is such a great brand. Thank you!

Regards,

What a shame @nicky12 - out of interest, whereabouts is the store?

They just forgot to print the "shite" in the middle… Cut them some slack - the counterfitting biz is very demanding...

Normally (always I think, but can't be 100% sure), we tape the collar seam….I can't tell whether the T above has that or not....

Here's a picture of the neck taping and the tag. Honestly too me it looks almost identical to the authentic tees

@Madame:

What a shame @nicky12 - out of interest, whereabouts is the store?

I bought it on a local online platform where users can find all sorts used/new items that people are selling. There is no receipt of purchase, i received the item by mail that is why I couldn't check the item before buying(Could only buy based on pictures).

The thing that mostly throws it for me is the "quality" of the screen printing and the side seams….
