Bitch Please… FAKE Iron Heart?

This is what I mean.

146

@derek111 checked some of mine, new and old. Definitely a dot and not a square on mine also.

[Matt]

What is that plastic piece under the snap?

[goosehd]

@Matt I don’t know, but it’s been bothering me. There is also a bit of plastic on the tag that is unusual.

[goosehd]

The other thing that has me questioning is that the tag looks ratty:

Could be from age/wear/tear, but…

Look back starting at page 18 on this thread (for those of us who have the infinite scroll setting off). Been down this road before, unfortunately.

Page numbers mean nothing........

I think it is fake. The IHSH-146 came with a blue tag......

[misfitlife]

The snaps are not correct. The lighter weight snaps say BELNAP on them, and the female part look’s totally different.

There are lots of fake sites and products out there at the moment. Please be really careful. If you buy from one of our retailers - great. We list them all on the main site. If you buy from us, the ONLY domain name you will see at checkout is ironheart.co.uk

Anything other than that is a scam.

We do not sell goods to any large marketplaces, amazon, aliexpress etc. These will all be fakes.

Thank you to @dirtyframer for flagging another recent one today

Although selling fakes to people is genuine scumbaggery and scamming.

[Harnios]

Yeah... I've also been duped with fake Iron Heart jeans. I naively thought fake clothing was only an issue with "status symbol" brands like Gucci

anyway, to make the best out of what is actually a decent Chinese product (I very much overpaid for..)
I decided to make some changes.

I’m in the market for some jeans. As always. This is off, right?

[sabergirl]

It’s a genuine patch, but the denim looks a little slubby and light for xhs.

[Daysleepers]

@sabergirl can 21oz be XHS? Seller says they’re over dyed slubby. They’re slubby for sure.

I want some heavy 666s in this size. So I’m investigating!

[Daysleepers]

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

[sabergirl]

The XHS on the label specifically refers to 25oz denim. Iron Heart has different labels and naming practices for each denim. The slub labels say SLB. The only way that patch would be on a pair would maybe be a sample? I also seem to recall the SLB has the lighter weight patches since it’s a 16 oz denim @Daysleepers

[Matt]

There’s a lot wrong here. The patch is a standard patch, not a 25 oz patch. 25 has its own patch regardless of model. Also there are stitching holes in the left side of the patch border and not the right. There shouldn’t be any. From what little we can see of the jeans they are definitely not 25 oz but do appear to be od slubby which could make them either 16 oz or Self Edge 19 oz or neither if they are total fakes and not just slubs with a different patch sewn on. We’d need to see more of the jeans to see if they’re IH or not.
