The Iron Snail is a men’s fashion vlog starring a young man named Michael and featuring a snail no bigger than a quarter. The two are set on taking over the world of fashion by creating a clothing line to end all clothing lines. Until then, we’re here to tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about the best clothing out there, from the highest quality raw denim jeans to the warmest jackets to the sturdiest boots…the Iron Snail has got you covered. (written by Taylor, though Michael is sometimes known to talk about himself in the third person… xoxo)
This guy is me if I had a channel. We’re both from cape and our clothes never fit even though we’re apparently obsessed with our clothes fitting properly
Find a good tailor. It’s a life changer.
I love that this comment is the top voted comment lol
the way you analyze how your clothing fits helps me understand my own wardrobe. cool video
Thank you!
Everyone sees a dude in jeans and jacket, but only you know you spent a monthly paycheck on it.
Right? Everyone's good at something.
But they'll last for wayy longer
@@arko9151 a good pair of wrangler will probably last just a long.
It's the secret that I must never reveal
@@TheLoneLander it's all relative tbh, Levi's jeans don't last for me anyway
We need more ‘fit troubleshooting’ guides like you did with the first outfit
Deal!
That denim pullover is legit. I'd rock it for sure
I think it's called a pop over. I bought one online in a thinner chambray and it ended up being way too small. I'd wear the shit out of this one
They are sick!
That was surprisingly intense and pretty awesome at the same time. Well done
Thank you!
Huge Steve McQueen fan here, love seeing you channel his look towards the ends. Not everyone can pull it off but you did it very nicely 🙌
Anthony Bourdain rocked that Levi x Filson jacket
Now that's sweet!
I liked the Baracuta jacket, white jeans and Sander's chukkas outfit the best
Well there we go!
Hey Michael! With summer around the corner would you consider doing a linen video? Maybe like a buying guide or one of your informational videos about the fabric!
Yes totally!
I think the key to clothing you love is for them to be both aesthetically pleasing to yourself as well as well constructed from quality materials. I too think I like fabric more than clothing. I like the same over shirt silhouette in different types of animal fiber.
Precisely!
It makes sense to be interested in the fabric. Italian chefs and Japanese chefs know that you can have an incredible dish with only three ingredients as long as those ingredients are the best quality
the fob factory denim pullover is a killer, 10/10.
that's what I'm talking about!
Regarding shirt sizing, you gotta also take into account shrinkage, especially for flannel/chamois shirts. Over time, they will shrink with multiple washes, so the 38 may be fine in the long run.
great outfits! thanks for showing them!
Was waiting for a video like this!
I'm glad!
Huge fan of your videos and the edits describing how things could fit better is super helpful! Thank you!
Thank YOU!
Love the vid!
Thank you!
I love these types of videos!
Thank you!
The g9 looks good.i think it's a perfect fit
Thank you!
Absolutely love the fitment notes. It seems like I'm between sizes on basically everything that has ever been made to fit a human body, so I tend to stick to a very select few styles and brands that work for me. This has led to me having a limited style palette, which now makes me feel like I look weird in clothes I'm not familiar with. Having some sizing notes and especially styling notes like adding a belt and ironing goes a long way for giving me something to look for in clothes that look objectively good on me but make me think I look weird. TL:DR please keep doing fitment and styling notes
size up and see a tailor
Thank you!! I will!
Ooh! Can't wait for the carhartt video
SAME!
Love the Clarks bankrobber moc and Huckberry’s chucks💯
Love the bankrobbers!
Your video on Russell Moccasins boots caused me to be obsessed with them. It happened at a good time though, as they had a discounted pair of Backcountry Weathered Oak seconds in my size. Can't wait for them to come.
Oh nice snag! More vids on them to come this year
Your Levis x Filson jacket sure is hansom !!
AGREED!
The backcountry’s are always a good choice.
I.love.these.boots.
Major Ace Ventura vibes at 1:08. Another great video!
your style really really resonates w my favorites. really wish I could invest in these brands. Been sticking to fast fashion tops, levi’s denim, and just started investing in nice boots.
YES I was waiting for a video of you actually building outfits around what you talk about. Even tho I felt what you said about liking the materials and items more than the actual outfit building xddd
We fabric lovers have it tough!
13:03 Yes, yes YES! denim pullover ❤️❤️❤️ I ordered a railroad denim pullover from Bronson and it got lost in the mail then it was OOS then I had a stroke and now that's all I think about 😢
Oh BRUTAL!
haku pullover is awesome, looks great on you boss
Thank you!
That chair is gorgeous! Makes me want to get into some woodworking if I had the space.
Now that would be cool!
You may see timeless classics. What I see are the articles of clothing my parents made me wear in middle school.😅
Your parents probably made you wear those exactly because they were timeless classics 😁
Ha!
I need that Chambray pullover!
Michael!!! Do you still wear your sugar cane type 2 jacket or did that get lost in the age of minimalism?!?! I bought the same jacket and have a bit over a year in it and would love to see yours! Great video, keep it up!
Throwback!! I still have it hanging proudly! I'll have to bring it out in a vid soon!
Heck yea
Yeah!
Nice video. I really like the Clark’s but I wish they had them in black
Awesome Content ! Very original in my opinion... Thanks! George, Los Angeles
Thanks George!
Banana Republic (and Gap) pants fit me the best. I know they are a big corp company, but they have the fit dialed in. J Crew is also good, but BR has them beat. (I have a slim, athletic build.) Also, Taylor Stitch runs big on me too. My favorite jeans I have (and I have tried lots of brands) are a pair of Levis 501 Tapered. Next are BR jeans.
Every time you do one of these videos it reminds me that I really need to slow down and be more thoughtful with my purchases. I've ended up with a wardrobe with too many boring basics and fewer outfits I really like as a result. Summer shoes that aren't white sneakers are something I want to explore more. P.S. - Red Tornado makes a dupe of the Filson x Levi's collaboration, not sure how I feel about it but figured people might be interested.
Well thank you!
That fob pull over js GREAT! And weir but I live unique weird pieces! Will shop for one of those. Any recommendations to buy it from? Great vid as always Michael!
Haku clothing is the place to be!
I actually like the white trousers outfit but I’d maybe switch the t-shirt for an olive colour
Denim pullover looking good
Thank you!
Nice video! How do you find the sizing on the desert treks?
Awesome video.
Ty!
W! Can’t wait for the carhartt dissection
SAME!
Was there a chance to order the Prologue again? I see a banner at the top of your website about denim but all denim is no longer available?
Perfect styling self awareness.
That's the aim!
Love your content. Come back to T&H more.
Nice video Michael. Where in NH are you moving? I’m moving there too soon as my gf got into grad school there. A video idea: over the course of the next few months, film before and afters of all the pieces you get tailored to show what a difference tailoring can make. It’s clear from this video you’ve got a very specific idea of what you think fits and what does not, and you know how to fix it. As someone who’s newer to fashion, I thought a lot of the outfits fit you great! But I also don’t mind a looser fit. A video like this would be interesting to see how different types of tailoring can affect garments (I.E. hemming pants length vs bringing in the waist size)
P.S. I thought those last two pullover shirts looked great on you, especially the lighter colored one. What unique pieces
That's a fantastic video idea and I'll 100% be doing it! Possibly Hanover NH! We have some friends up there and family is pretty close too
"The Failure" looks like a high grade architect. Definitely a dude that drives a car with a red interior. Thanks for the fun video :)
Lol, that's what I'm talking about!
New video yay
Woohoo!
Hey Mike. Love your channel. Great content. 😊Post some of your standup stuff too.
Well, deal!
I bought a waxed jacket last year, the 1908 Miners Jacket by Pike Brothers, it’s gone out of production and they still have some Medium in stock, but if it’s not to late that would be my choice for the waxed jacket olympics. It’s 15oz waxed canvas made by Halley Stevenson, and it’s ridiculously stiff at first, but after being worn in its easily become my favourite jacket to wear anywhere
Oh yeah I'm looking at these now -- they look awesome
@@TheIronSnail I’d lend you mine, but I wear 2XL and live in Europe… Love your content and can’t wait for the olympics!
@TheIronSnail I think you would enjoy crafting a video on Le Mont Saint Michel - great French brand and originators of the legendary chore coat.
Steve McQueen didn't wear the sanders boots, the ones he wore where made by a brand called Hutton of Northampton, Hutton had financial problems in the 80s and sold the design, machines, patents, etc. to sanders (or another Swedish company, i'm not sure) anyway, fast forward to today and the person who owned the Hutton name etc. started making the boots again under the name 'playtime' they are, in my view, the most accurate to the ones that Steve McQueen wore and are extremely well made.
some cool fits in here. not everything has to be the perfect fit. outfit 2 at 3:42 is so fire. it's put together and nonchalant at the same time. uniform type shit
I full agree!
Every man needs a flint and Tinder waxed trucker in their collection
Now I know where I recognize you from. Theo and Harris.
Michael you should check out Bradley Mountain's new leather jackets. I got one in the cognac and the fit is right up your alley!
I've been drooling over those!
The denim pull over looks like a modern oversize fit and i like that
I agree!
Would be cool if you did a video where you go through your ENTIRE wardrobe. ALL the pieces!
That would be immense! Can do...I have a storage rental thing for all the clothes!
I wear. Brooks bothers and all types of of loafers
May we please get that carhartt video when you have time thank you please, also if it has belt loops it gets a belt right?
Working on it! And yes!
@@TheIronSnail thanks friend
Awwww baby boiiiii. That outfit looked awesome opossum. The one you didnt like initially. It was fire Sire.
Well thanks hanks!
Hi Snail! Whats the white tee in the intro/first fit?
Bronson MFG!
Not a pullover fan but the selvedge line hem is pretty fun
The selvedge line is def interesting but I wouldn't mind a folded hem tbh!
@@TheIronSnailthe hem is what put me off, to me it looks as if it’s just been chopped off roughly, I’m too ocd for that 😂
“I love fabric! I actually like fabric more than fashion or clothes.” SAME!!! Also you video composition style-I’m here for all of it :) P.S.- prob weird to hear from internet rando & likely hear frequently, but you & Taylor are adorable
Ha! I knew there were fellow fabric nerds out there Also, TY!
You need a 1950’s military off white Henley with two large white buttons. It’s 50% cotton, 50% wool to finish the Levi’s X Filson look.
Now that sounds like the move
@@TheIronSnail and a newsboy 8 panel hat. 🐌
I need to know the sizing for the 634s, I have no clue if their website sizing is the size of the jeans before stretch or after and I’m going insane
The sizing on IH is before stretch, I have 3 pairs of jeans and 2 pairs of pants ordered from the IH website
It's before stretch! That being said I sized up 2 from what I normally size. Get a tape measure around your belt line and go from there!
@@TheIronSnail wow, I’m surprised how good they look 2 sizes up!
The pullover may have different sized shoulders due to the material being factory washed or not washed. Good makers will account for around 1 cm of shrinkage after the first wash.
I know that this has nothing to do with the video but i can't find any good videos about these things so round house (they make clothes similar to carhartt stuff) and stormy kromer coat/vest (they make wool coats and vests like the filson Mackinaw wool stuff) if you could consider looking at these brands that would be great if not i understand i love your videos
Could you pretty please with a cherry on top tell us where you got the oyster chair from!!! :D
Modernica!
@@TheIronSnail Looks soooo nice but damn that price tag lol. Did you grab yours from Facebook Marketplace??
Sizing is so important. I have a G9 but doesn't fit me nowhere as nice as yours does, need to sell mine :D Great channel by the way brother
What size is yours? And is it the no wash?
@@TheLoneLander 46R, its super baggy on me
@@myveryownchannel rip I'm a 36-38
Thank you!!
I have that filsonxlevis jacket somewhere in my apartment and it's bonkers that they don't still have that going. It's not like Filson's scaled back operations since 2011.
Yeah honestly so true -- no idea why neither brand just kept running with it
I don't see the red Taylor Stitch shirt available on their site. Is it sold out?
Sadly it's gone :/
3:20 idk i like the baggy look, i know that's trendy now but i think a little wider they look more relaxed.
It's not a bad look but at certain angles it does look like I'm wearing a bag...
Also, I love the look of half button old style shirts like the ones at the end of your video but I know I wouldn’t wear them because I think they look best when tucked in and I don’t like wearing tucked-in shirts so it doesn’t work for me. I’ll just have to appreciate the design and settle for that.
Life is a constant battle with tucked in shirts to be honest
I’ve been rocking a shorter hem/no break. Aft first I didn’t know and I’ve kind leaned into it. It feels really European and care free. Who knows. Maybe I’ll regret it. Lots of break is back but I don’t like that. Also white on white is worn by Alessandro Squarzi a lot and looks killer.
No break squad! I've moved onto a tiny break for the most part
With the wheel robe shoes do you know how the sizes run. Everything I find is in Japanese
Pretty large actually -- you could go a half size down from your boot size and still have room
I go through the same mental process with all of my clothes that I buy online, because I'm also part of the guys into clothes, under 6 foot club. Let the hunt for the short hemmed clothing company begin! Or let it be Iron Snail ;)
Short guys unite!
If you’re ever in London pop into Tricker’s….I’ll look after you
that looks like norse projects! 9:05
It certainly is!
Now I want a waxed jacket too... 🤔
It's always the time!
Bro those jackets fit you perfectly you tripping
Well this is fantastic feedback, thanks!
Found out where Harris went. 😂😂
What this video sold me on is an iron 👀
An iron is the true MVP
Michael! When will your jeans come out? I have itchy-Jean-trigger-finger and have had to fight the urge to buy jeans knowing that yours are in the works!
Lmao I got 2 pairs of stfs
COMING SOON! I'm hoping in the next 1 - 2 months but hopefully sooner!
Can you make a tutorial about how to clean your suede shoes?
Yes!
@@TheIronSnail Thanks a lot my man!
3:33 You definitely have a different definition of Oxfords in mind than I do. Could you elaborate?
Oddly enough it's just what Quoddy calls this pair! It's their take on Oxfords according to them
That is odd. The style reminds me of a boat shoe, but the lacing should make it a derby.
Please review RM Williams boots. Australian’s love them. Why?
Fantastic idea!
@@TheIronSnail I’m glad you think so 🤗 I’m so on the fence about getting a pair and then which pair to get? Every Aussie in New York has a pair, it’s how they identify each other when overseas. Seeing as I am an Aussie expat, I feel obligated, but only if they are actually worth throwing down for.
I love watching you here, congrats on your channel and the amazing content!!! Just gonna say that Theo & Harris isn’t the same without you 😢
Thank you thank you! Working on a comeback!
@@TheIronSnail glad to know!!! Hope to see you back soon Mr Harris
Great video Michael did you leave theo and harris?
Just taking some time for my own business rn!
the iron sale
I wish I had people send me cool and expensive clothes.
it's quite the luxury!
Check out thurston bros Oxford in bainbridge-last jacket you'll ever need
Looking!
i have some STF undyed 501s in a 1980s fit that are hemmed just slightly too short and i cri evrytim
It's just not easy for people like us
Interesting video Michael. I don't know how much research and analysis you do before shooting your videos, because it's a bit weird to do post analysis on things that should've been prepared before making said video. But, I see that you have a better understanding of size and fit now because of this video. I also see that you've been busy with developing your brand and maybe doing a move as well. May I suggest getting an assistant or assembling a team to help with the production of your videos? Still, a great video nonetheless, but it feels too haphazardly put together; maybe because you just got a bunch of stuff from Huckberry/TS and you became very excited to make a vid?
It's what Quoddy calls these!
I have to say that I actually rate the Sanders/Baracuta fit.
Now that's what I'm talking about!
I cringe just typing this, but what brand are your underwear Michael? The contrast stitching caught my eye.
HA! Tbh I don't even know...underwear is something I put very little care into -- I'm talking TARGET underwear it's terrible
I'll no joke, I'll take that Taylor Stitch jacket from you.
Deal! I just have to talk to TS first
@@TheIronSnail GET THEM ON THE PHONE, ASAP.
