Bitch Please… FAKE Iron Heart?

[Karol]

Has such reverse W ever occurred officially?

[GraemeE]

I have to believe this pair is either a scam or fake
I've seen that patch art but the buttons look dicey

That looks suuuper fake! I think the arc stitching sticks out to me the most. Looks way off.

@GraemeE the back pocket gives it away- the red dubya is too low and the arcuates seem weirdly stitched as well as low too- or perhaps the top part of the pocket looks too...long?

Never made a 14.5oz LHT to my knowledge, either

[GraemeE]

If I wasn't ideologically opposed to theft/forgery I'd spend $50 just to get a better look at them

[popvulture]

And man, the patch. That leather looks like a band-aid.

[GraemeE]

Also apparently an ih×evisu collab....

[Oaktavia]

I do remember seeing a patch like that when I asked Alex for a 21oz patch a few years ago. It looked quite different and more Iron Hearty...

I guess I was wrong, seems like we did well before my time

Still seems like an odd choice to fake since it's lesser known

Maybe that helped the choice, a lesser seen/known pair.

This is what the patch should look like

Love that patch in its proper form, so killer.

Also dawned on me that if it were 14oz, the patch would be stitched all the way around, right?

[Oaktavia]

@popvulture yeah that patch is cool as hell, I love the horror themed hand. So rad.

[popvulture]

@Oaktavia yeah I love it when they throw that flavor in, like with some of the Self Edge skeleton / moto patches. Would love to see some more of those come back sometime

Yep

[Oaktavia]

@popvulture for real that would be awesome

[Tago Mago]

@Giles what is the reason for this? Noticed it on my pair of 14oz and was curious

[Giles]

H does not like the heavy patch on lighter jeans. For that read, the supply of the heavy leather is limited, so he wants to be selective with what he uses it on.
