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 jacket 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)

aw yissss! also, cool fold out table, cabinet thingy.

[@farklek]

Love these videos, I've been learning a lot watching them. As I get older I am getting fed up with lower quality clothing for many reasons but also can't afford to have a closet full of 100$ shirts so these videos are helpful. Also I'm learning that not all good shirts have to cost 100$ and not all 100$ shirts are good, very interesting. Thanks for the great video!

[@alexdistel7571]

Great video! One thing to note. The Bronson tubular T-shirt isn’t loopwheeled, it’s circular knit. They specify on their website that they are knit with more efficient circular knit machines, which is why the price is much lower than any loopwheeled tee. This is similar to Naked & Famous’ circular knit tee. Still no side seams, but the machine uses tension on the thread to knit ~10 times faster than loopwheel machines.

[@DominicBellThreeBlackDots]

Hey Michael! Great to see you giving the Bronson tees some well deserved love. I've got quite a few and the quality for the price is crazy. Keep up the great work sir 🤘

[@TheIronSnail]

Ty my friend!

[@nickseid6755]

Do y’all recommend sizing up for Bronson tees? I’ve heard they run very small.

[@northeastwanderer]

I have the bronson loopwheel shirt-- amazing quality tee, Bronson is a brand that deserves to be talked about a lot more.

[@TheIronSnail]

Agreed!!

[@averyretodo8159]

I own quite a few Bronson products and they don’t disappoint the made in China label may scare some but a lot of Their stuff is quality.

[@geoffrey4425]

[@argondrolf785]

Glad to see some Bronson MFG items in this video. An underrated brand imo, I have several jackets and shirts from them that are really great pieces that didn’t cost an arm and a leg. My every day type II is actually there’s

[@blueface105]

their items are such good value i legitimately question their manufacturing ethics 😭

Unbleached Apparel AND Wonder Looper in one video? It’s homies on homies on homies!

[@ChanceLandesman]

Ha! Hey Shane! Hope you're enjoying your shirt :-)

[@darktoster]

Surprisingly the uniqlo t shirts which are sometimes marketed as their "color" shirts or "dry" shirts which come in sealed packaging are really durable, soft, and comfortable. I like them more than the supima cotton shirts they have. I've had like 8 of them for a full decade now without any holes or collar stretching. I probably got half of them on sale for $4. They're a cotton poly blend so not exactly a 100% cotton shirt but they've stood the test of time and hundreds of workouts each.

[@via8029]

Mine already shrunk after 2 to 3 years of use.

[@EthanRom]

@@via8029 oh yea don’t crank the dryer on them. They will definitely shrink

[@darktoster]

@@via8029 hmm not sure - never had that issue really. Tbh all mine are pretty old so maybe they used to be better too. My personal trainer asked me earlier today where I got it from because he thought it was nice though lol. I told him it was like a decade old and he said it looked new. Checking the care instructions it says line dry but I just dryer it on a moderate heat.

[@RomeoFinance]

The weakest tshirts i've owned have been 100% cotton tees..cotton/poly blends will always be top

[@viragdani]

Hát, nem számítottam a Himnuszra, amikor elindítottam a videót. Zseniális szerkesztés, Michael! 🖖🇭🇺🐌

[@LifeofBrad1]

With the long tees, you could just tuck them. As I'm getting older, I'm starting to prefer the tucked t-shirt look. Definitely looks tidier and more classic than untucked. I wish more brands made longer t-shirts so you can tuck them without having to worry about them coming untucked at the back. I have a Dickies Porterdale pocket t-shirt that's 30 inches long, so it's a good length for tucking. I think the workwear brand t-shirts are designed to be tucked because you don't want loose fabric flapping around if you work around machinery.

[@shirayasha]

You got the perfect fit on that wonder looper one

[@TheIronSnail]

AGREED!

[@cdeaker]

Howies organic T-shirts are really good, 180gsm & organic. I’ve have some of their Ts that I’ve worn for over 10 years. The fit is quite snug so you might need to size up one size. ASKET (not to be confused with ARKET) make really good Ts (made in Portugal), you can also choose the length. ARKET (not to be confused with ASKET) have heavyweight organic Ts that are quite good

[@TonSantatoSegobi]

This Wonder Loop is amazing

[@Kelzen]

Thank you so much for the Wonder Looper! I just ordered their T-shirt, the custom embroidery is an awesome bonus to the extreme quality!

[@marcusrivera4090]

Bronson is such a sleeper brand, thanks for reading my Dm and featuring!

[@Neilispowerwolf]

Gotta grab the bronson shirts now - I got 4 of the Bronson cotton tank tops in white to wear under my unbottoned button-ups to look like a delinquent from a 90's Hong Kong action/romance movie and they're crazy good for the price

[@ZILLA....]

you had me at 90's HK delinquent, guess I need one now

[@Gavin_May]

Los Angeles apparel. Hands down best tees i own. Nice and heavy, minimal shrinkage, great fit and unbranded.

[@sethkurela7618]

Velva-Sheen offers a few different styles of t-shirt that also come in different weights. The one you are wearing I am not familiar with, the tees that they call their Pac Tees (because they come in packs), and then their rolled t-shirts (which come rolled in a Kraft paper tube). The rolled tee is very light and has visible slub & is a boxier and shorter fit, "vintage" fit from the 70s. It seems that the rolled tee is the lightest weight, then the pac tee, and then the line of pigment dyed shirts.

[@rockymtnstyle]

First thing I thought when the video started was "HEEEEEY Taylor is there!" Hope ya'll had a great visit, Michael.

[@jimlittle5769]

Exactly what I thought!

[@C_B47]

The one not included is amazing. Great looking and I imagine it pairs incredibly well with some raw denim

[@kinslowrainer3982]

Very nice video. The other T-shirt video was good, too. Please keep doing these on a somewhat regular basis. I live overseas, and I don't always have access to the brands you have there, but there always seem to be one or two on your list that are international enough for me to consider.

[@oyster_3694]

I think the Velva Sheen fit you well if you were to wear it under another shirt or jacket! Great job!

[@southstaronline]

Eagarly awaiting Wonder Looper to hit a UK stockist that fit is superb. Great video, I'm also now looking out for S&S Wakayama Special.

[@danieloneill1279]

Sunspel is the brand for James Bond, tailored for muscles. I’ve already seen it in the comments , and fully aware that my opinion will hold little value seeing as we don’t know each other, but the speedy is a little too big for you (but if it makes you happy, who cares)

[@DingsGuy]

11/10 co-host. Great video.

[@matthewmartin9067]

Just bought 2 shirts from Bronson, super excited to try them out.

[@Memento_HiFi]

I've been curious about the Bronson tee's for a little bit, I'll have to pick a few of them up. Also if you do a ever do a part 2 of this video you should include a Merz b. Schwanen shirt, they make a loopwheeled 14oz (410gsm) heavyweight Tee that's supposed to be pretty good

[@boe466]

Sunspel are the best, imo. They last really long. Also their Sweatshirts are probably the best ones I ever had.

[@witte2702]

jersey polos & loopback sweatshirts are excellent

[@andymofoincross]

Thanks for reviewing the Velva Sheen, I was curious about that one. Would love to see your thoughts on the Left Field NYC loop wheeled tees in a future video. Also looking forward to the comparison of the different Buck Mason fabrics, should be interesting.

[@TheIronSnail]

Agreed!!! And ofc!

[@andymofoincross]

@@TheIronSnail I have a few Left Field tees and I'm wondering how they compare to others I haven't had the opportunity to try. It's more of a retro/boxy/greaser fit (which I prefer), probably similar to the Velva Sheen, so if you do end up trying one you may want to consider sizing up.

[@hugoveillette6411]

Bro u dont need that speedy u already got one of the best chronos that fits u better as well

[@jamesrrr37657]

1. Be fit/ jacked, have good posture 2. Wear just about any t-shirt 3. Look great If you're in a t-shirt your fitness level matters way more than said t-shirt, Imo.

I bought some “Fruit of the loom” basic tees and those are quite good. 100% cotton and a thick weave, only thing is that the neck part is rather loose so it doesn’t sit right when worn a whole day. Super cheap and just as basic as it gets.

[@stevenkelly-reif2682]

Bronson has little stock in tees

[@alihasanabdullah7586]

I honestly do not understand why the 'Made in USA' tag is used as a statement of quality, while 'Made in China' is used as a caveat (Evident here in this video, but I've seen different fashion youtubers espouse the sentiment) Here in Bangladesh, we can make any type of clothing you want, in any material you want, stitched in the precise way you want. The indian subcontinent, especially the Subah of Bengal has a long history of high quality apparel. A Filson Work Jacket, for example, will cost 85-105 dollars to make here, depending on the order volume and lead time. And Filson sells them for about 400 dollars. Even with the massive overhead, it's cheaper and of comparable quality to other alternatives. At this point, the only thing we're lacking are brands to properly market and sell these clothes ourselves.

[@no4365]

Could be due to patriotism, but I'm pretty sure its mostly that you aren't supporting places with generally unethical working standards.

[@alihasanabdullah7586]

@@no4365 That seems like either a very uninformed opinion or a malicious one. The working conditions are what they are because of economic realities. Hypothetically should there be no demand for garments, the working conditions would not improve just because the garments sweatshops are gone. Exporting improves the lives of the workers. They can over time demand higher wages. The growth in productivity results in an increase in wealth over time, which corrects the working conditions of workers eventually. In the long run, supporting sweatshops eradicate them faster than just buying local.

The woman, Taylor, in this vid makes me feel so many ways I have so many questions. At first I was like is she studying for school. If so why are you making all this noise and bothering her. Then I was like if she is not studying and isn't doing anything important. Why doesn't she pay more attention get more involved. But on the other hand it makes the video more interesting. Like it reminds me that she has her own life going on her own little adventure that will not stop for this dude's vid. I really kinda dig her sitting there doing her own thing.
