Thanks for the replies. The explanation makes perfect sense. Seller was a "second hand" reseller in Montana, so it is doubtful he even noticed it. Prob didn't even know how legendary of a garment he was selling. I'm returning it so be on the lookout for this shirt for sale on Ebay again. Can't believe someone ruined this beautiful garment, took prob the best stitching/tailoring in the world and turned it into that?!?!? Stitching heavy weight denim ain't for amateurs…

I'm pretty sure this has to be a fake. Has anyone ever seen a fake CPO? I compared and contrasted it to all the images of this shirt on the Iron Heart page. There are some features/subtle details that seem correct, but the side seem stitching is just horrible. I would assume there is no way Iron Heart would sell a shirt, even as a "factory second", with stitching as incorrect as this. I bought this off eBay and wasn't really worried due to the fact it was being sold in Montana and the Iron Heart CPO seems like it would be an unlikely item to counterfeit…
