@Alexey164 I was asking for the thickness when folded.
Real 25oz is a really chunky fabric and about ~2x as tall when folded as my 21oz'ers iirc.

unless the prontos are wet, the 666's are resting on the table, or those 2 jeans are a vastly different cut/size, that lower weight is a red flag.

[Alexey164]

@pechelman Pronto and 666 are equally dry, lie on a tray), the thickness is actually thinner

[goosehd]

My 666 xhs weigh 46 oz....Pretty sure your pair are fake.

Edit: Even my 21oz 666's weigh more than your pair...sorry for the bad news.

[pechelman]

Any chance those could be 14oz'ers? I dont recall that denim being so hairy though.
Clearly someone's picked out the pocket arcs already, it wouldnt surprise me if they picked off the thinner fully sewn patch and replaced it with this mismatched one. Any chance you can see any remnants of stitches there?

[Giles]

I'm not convinced they are fake, they just aren't what they say they are......

[Oaktavia]

I am thinking they look quality IH but some sort of strangeness occurred at some point.

[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.

[Oaktavia]

@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
