Ha, and they have the cheek to put a copyright notice on the bottom of their website.

Hi all, can you help me to confirm whether this IH 666s 14 oz is legit or not? Thanks !

[flannel slut]

@satyatamas sorry man but a few red flags on these… the leather patch appears too thick and most notably the selvedge ID should be red and works inc. should be embossed on the rivets

[satyatamas]

@flannel-slut yeah I think this is a fake.. At first glance the quality looks superb.. the price also too steep at around $150

[popvulture]

I agree, biggest giveaway is the patch. Too thick, plus the lot/size etc typeface is wrong and it looks like it was printed vs stamped.

[Danimal506]

The tags look off too. Especially the smaller one, the string seems wrong to me. Also the W stitching does not look good.

[Oaktavia]

I want to preface this post by saying I know they are not specifically calling it Iron Heart. But come on dude...really? Using the UHF name, double brushed/single brushed, saying they are good to wear in the wind, ombre pattern. Even using copper snaps that IH is known for. It's just so unoriginal and clearly copying the greatest brand on the planet. I'm not saying that these guys aren't making decent products, I have no idea (I've never tried them out, nor will I). It just seems like a blatant knock off. Whenever I see this occur whether it's a copycat horror movie, a ripoff song or whatever, the question I ask myself is: would these exist without it's predecessor? Likely not, at least not in this way. I am sharing my opinion that this is just plain lame my dudes.

@Oaktavia I wouldn’t normally comment but I walked past this a few seconds ago, so I’ll let Anthony Burrill do the talking!

Haha seems sort of fitting that their company is called SoSo.

[chrisjohnnick]

Well, someone will spend those dollars and get the bug, then they'll eventually find their way here to the real thing.

[Oaktavia]

@ARNC exactly man @popvulture hah good one @chrisjohnnick excellent point

[AdamJ]

imitation is the greatest form of flattery

[EdH]

TBF, that's the fashion industry for you.

[popvulture]

Very true.

[Giles]

Tempted to write to them and thank them for the flattery. But calling them Ultra Heavy Flannel really is a bit rich.....

[Oaktavia]

@Giles I wouldn't have posted that this morning had they not called them UHFs. I was like WTF.

[Alex]

also shocking that it happens to be just slightly heavier than ours.

[scarfmace]

@Alex Maybe they might ask you to stop using the UHF term in stead
