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)

[@Daniel_Verhey]

That Ralph Lauren jacket is so perfect, the lining, the buckles at the side, and that corduroy collar 😮‍💨 Doesn’t get much better than that!!!

[@highendtrends3508]

Ralph Lauren has been doing that factory distressed, look for years. Always replicated never duplicated Ralph has been the originator of it. The polo jacket fits perfectly.

[@DancingSpacePotato]

This is exactly how I like to build my outfits. I love finding vintage pieces because I feel like it’s especially important to think of ourselves as stewards of meaningful objects instead of owners and then we throw it away. If something is already well work or broken in I can become the steward of it for the time being and write my own story with how I use and wear it and it can be passed on. Good stuff!

[@markopolo9936]

My best thrift pickup is a woolrich hunting jacket from the 30s, a very hard find here in the UK. I also found a wrangler jacket in Amsterdam but wasn’t as vintage as your one. Great find!

[@TheIronSnail]

Oh that's SWEET! Thank you!

[@KunaiKrazy]

I stumbled upon one of your videos years ago and have ended up here via Reddit. I must say, you are some kind of "contained chaotic energy." Your video style is quirky, energetic, and kind of reminds me of those scenes in shows like the Office where individuals gave a conversation with the camera alone. I think I'm a fan now.

[@Calspro]

"I looked like I was going to slap the foam off of your latte" sent me, thank you

[@jonathansandberg5219]

You are so delightfully strange, and I mean this in the best way possible. Only came across your channel a short time ago but you're already my favorite on KZbin!

[@Fumwum]

That ad edit hit just right, wonderful. I like you

[@carharttcarpenterpants]

Boy scout pants are amazing. Theres a bush pant style out there that fits like a dream.

[@Passmedear]

Those wool trousers are perfect

[@willt.9654]

I personally think those vintage Boy Scout pants look perfect

[@shubhangmehrotra1298]

That Polo jacket is GODLY! SO GOOD!

[@KhaiNguyen-no4bw]

you definitely look great with all these baggier trousers!

[@bellyhungry]

Corduroy collar denim jackets are fire and my favorite trucker jacket. Ralph Lauren does it better than anyone in my opinion, especially their vintage ones. BTW, the one you have is not too big. It fits you well. Also, that wider black wool pants is fire.

[@georgemurphy1075]

Love paynter jackets, their stuff is a real 10/10 i cant wait for my Sashiko camp collar

[@TheIronSnail]

Oh that thing looked SWEET!

[@albertogarcien6752]

Love this fit videos that include info of the products. Good stuff

[@darrenhall7454]

I love Bob Ross! He still pops up from time to time on TV here in the UK. Cool clothes, btw.

[@cowcowmooo]

i love you iron snail i love each and everyone of your videos!

[@danielbegay1845]

My best thrift find was a pair of Pure Blue Japan selvedge jeans that were the perfect fit and had tons of life left in them. Loving all the videos.

[@TheIronSnail]

Oh NICE snag. One time I found a pair of cone mills Levi's BUT I wasn't into denim back then and didn't think they were anything special

[@danielbegay1845]

Man! If only we knew these things back then! And by the way, I see that you been diving into Bradley Mountain, I currently have their Edison Chore Coat in Stonewash canvas. Highly recommend!

[@Tyradius]

I go thrifting and find nothing special, others have torn through the store to find stuff for resale on ebay or Poshmark. 😢

[@henrybuchanan6613]

Very good video Mike my man, I like the corduroys

[@bretkindsvatter3574]

Just purchased the 3sixteen wool jacket because of this channel. Its perfect as I have a white dog that sheds. Cheers.

[@bloatedsodium7301]

Dude your posterior is tremendous! Congrats.

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Those denim jackets are fire !

[@clobberonline6812]

The vintage Polo jacket could slap the foam off every coffee in central perk !!!

[@Sturnburn772]

Nice Mike. Keep thrifting. It's far cooler than buying new overpriced clothing imo

[@jacobvonloh69]

Really enjoyed this one! Keep it up man 🤙🏼

[@TheIronSnail]

Thank you!

[@m1n1sw00sh]

Great to see the goat back in action… Ross is such a great painter 🫰🏻

[@RedmondMonk]

I love that first outfit

[@GabobStrulli]

I got myself the the north face mcmurdo Parka recently. I enjoy it, it's like wearing a down blanket. And Michael, i like your Andreas gursky painting/Print.

[@Deezythy]

That’s a sweet polo jacket indeed 👌

[@huntergrey9818]

Those Wrangler pants at the end... 🥰

[@nathanvilliger2325]

My best thrift is 3x basically new LL Bean made in Canada flannels, and an LL Bean rag wool sweater all in the span of 10 minutes. I wear them so stinkin much, and they are fantastic. New LL Bean still rocks though:)

[@DMorgan77]

I wish I had a comment to make you laugh, or bring joy the way I enjoy your videos and wit. Since I don’t, great video Mikey.

[@shanecorwin731]

This is a great video mister Michael

[@GoufinAround_]

Those boy scout pants look like the perfect pants to show off some boots in

[@elizabethingram9784]

You’re awesome. Subscribed!😮

[@andrewpatra]

Vintage wrangler is the best, love mine (after my prologue jacket of course)

[@MrDukeSilverr]

I have a bright red Boyscout overshirt that i shortened to sit high on my waist, they had cool clothes

[@rhithym]

Man you really threw me back in time wearing those boy scout pants. When I was a boy scout, I used to shop at one of their stores that had a bunch of surplus vintage BSA clothing. I was only a teenager then, so I never had the foresight to nab any of the vintage. Boy Scouting truly changed the trajectory of my life, and it really breaks my heart to see how low the organization has fallen. Maybe I was just one of the lucky boys that never got m0l3st3d.

[@Gabaghoul0000]

Woah Michael, that Polo jacket is fairly similar to one I recently bought off Grailed. Mine has western embroidery on both pockets (Type 2 layout) but the fascinating part is it has two back cinches on both sides where theres normally those button adjustors. The leather patch is barely recognizable but it reads "Polo Western".

[@thebreakfastmenu]

You know, as a very tall man, I cannot stress enough, you dunno how good you've got it finding "a little bit too big" anything.

[@TheIronSnail]

It's a blessing and a curse

[@christianbarros1580]

Hey, she´s back!

[@TheIronSnail]

oh she's back and staying in my HOUSE

[@Felix-qe4gq]

Hey Michael, love the channel, great vid as always! Where did you get the Gursky poster?

[@kylemccaffrey3003]

Slap the foam off your latte made me audibly laugh super loud in traffic with the windows down. Thank you Michael

[@TheMNeko]

I'm enjoying the video thoroughly but please, please, in another video talk about your stunning television with the glorious white frame and how you made/obtained it!!! Much love!

[@TheLoneLander]

Vintage wrangler's are a W. You can still get some like them.

[@Manuortizp]

I just laughed so loud with the bottle of water bit hahaa

[@MomoToolace]

Don’t know if you already passed this stage of your vintage denim jackets collecting, but next to Wrangler jackets being the most underrated got to be Lee storm rider and rider jackets. Especially if you get one in a regular length and not a long 🤌. 90s RRL has some very similar homage pieces to rider jackets while being made in USA or Japan as well which are pretty sweet if you can’t find a good vintage example I don’t want them to get discovered for the sake of them being more expensive but at the same time, I can’t believe it’s so hard to find a Japanese brand to make a faithful reissue of them (not longer like ironheart)

[@kenanflores7300]

Need that iron snail prototype wallet

[@plizzle]

dog, that jacket IS perfectly your size. Congratulations.

[@TonSantatoSegobi]

The third one I didn't understand much but I liked the black sweater, I think it would be a more elegant combination, black clothes always fit well.

[@abelmartinez3185]

I need to see what the mammoth jacket looks like already!Funds are low and procuring a jacket of such quality is just not feasible, but I need, no must see what you have cooked up.

[@TheIronSnail]

IM WORKIN ON IT! I promise everyone else is slow and I'm really fast

[@kyledriscollmusic]

I'm surprised you think the last jacket is too big, looks perfect

[@cmac8]

michael's dumb little jokes like the one at 7:52 never fail to make me laugh. thank you good sir.

[@TonSantatoSegobi]

I liked the fourth combination too, but I think black jeans or some black pants would be better.

[@gentensworld]

I'd say my best thrift pick up is a Saga Shutout snow sports jacket from 2015. Saga went under here a couple years ago due to "corporate limbo" and other issues previously like warehouse robberies. Not for everyone, but it's a solid DWR treated piece with pit-zips and all the features I need for harsh winters where I live, plus it has all of the other techwear aspects my little peanut brain craves.

[@TheIronSnail]

A FELLOW LITTLE PEANUT BRAIN!

[@kenwatanabe2864]

Hey, you are finally wearing wide pants. Good for you. It's good to try out different styles. A lot of "real men clothes" types (especially Americans) believe that "real men" should wear tight/skinny/slim fit pants and never wear "baggy" clothes because apparently that's what "real men" used to wear, without realizing tight fitting clothes are also "a trend". But wide pants were actually the norm back in 30s and 40s. The only difference is that they weren't called "wide pants". It was just called "pants".

[@jaggrnaut]

I wish I could pull off the 30's-50's-ish rural working class style, but I don't feel right in it-pretty much what you said, feels like a costume.

[@wagz54]

I recently got a 90s wrangler. It’s one tad too small. But something about the design makes me feel tough lol.

[@anderstietz809]

My best thrift store find occurred 2 years ago. A flawless blue checkered Filson Mackinaw coat. Paid just under $8.

[@Jopeymessmusic]

I suppose the good thing about the RL jacket being a little roomy is that you can layer up under it. I know for vintage pieces, especially wool ones it's often not necessary but still. Maybe a light flannel or something similar to make up the difference in sizing y'know? I'm a big fan of vintage wool items. I have a vintage Woolrich jacket with "dump dump" pockets and I love it. I sized up as well so that's where the recommendation comes from, lmao.

[@TonSantatoSegobi]

The fifth combination was cool but at first glance it looked like pajamas, apart from the very wide pants the combination with the denim jackets were very good.

[@Kyle-he8en]

Dressing up and not feeling like I’m in a costume…That hit home for me. I feel like Brad Pitt in Fury whenever I go out 😭

[@JoeyDecay]

Prince Michael, how I love and appreciate any time we get to spend with thee. Especially Booty Mike at the end, what a gift from the Lord above.😍

[@predwards8941]

I got a Prologue(love it so far), but am VERY interested in a wallet! 🧐

[@sssnrrr]

Yo Michael these fits are fire and inspires me to see what I can find thrifting

[@TheIronSnail]

That's what I'm TALKING about!!

[@paulmcgrew2932]

​@@TheIronSnailwhat tips do you have for when one goes thrift shopping? Timing, how to identify the good stuff, etc.?

[@cooperredmon3430]

As a serial thrifter, nothing beats finding one of a kind stuff for a great price. Last month I thrifted a pair of Wesco Boss engineers in black with mild wear for $100, and now that they’re broken in I don’t really wear any other shoes. Someday very soon I’ll find more stuff that’s as nice as what you showed in the video. Thanks for uploading!

[@martinhernandez2804]

Where do you usually thrift?

[@cooperredmon3430]

@@martinhernandez2804 anywhere I can. I got the boss boots from a senior center thrift shop in my hometown that couldn’t sell them for 6 months at $250, so I offered $100 and they took it. Got really lucky

[@astral_plane_crash]

Best thrift pickup is a vintage Snow Goose of Canada (Canada Goose now) snow mantra for $25 CAD.

[@deenadamato7603]

"i look like im going to slap the foam off your latte" yooooooo thats hysterical lollllll

[@rexlam3681]

hey michael! loved the video. just wanted to ask what you looked up when you bought your vintage wool trousers? is it literally just "vintage wool trousers"? LOL also love how they fit on you man!

[@lukedeker4676]

My no1 find is a vintage silk Givenchy button up with like a bird on it in black and white. I got it for $15

[@Dreyno]

About 25 years ago I found a half length leather jacket, black, button up, big collar, in a thrift store. It was seemingly almost unworn. I bought it for £30 I think. When I got home I found a receipt in the top pocket which said it was bought in 1979. I wore the crap out of it. Eventually a seam went in the sleeve and the lining frayed. I got it re-lined but the tailor forgot about the seam in the sleeve. I put in a box and it’s still somewhere in the house. Some day I will dig it out, get it cleaned up and fixed and return to my early 20s, louche and possibly criminal looking but in a cool 1970s way, self.

[@michaelrampersad6572]

Any recommendations for thrifting in Brooklyn?

[@thanatology493]

How do Fracaps fit for you? I really like the style, but can't find much information on if they're true to size or something else.

[@MlkXiu]

Where are some shops in NYC you go thrifting at Michael?

[@micaonwheels6885]

I feel Like the best thrifting is the dads closet thrifting. I got a wool jacket from the 70s the was passed down from my grandpa to my dad to me and its the best thing I own.

[@NicholasCFranklin]

Dem parachute pants!

[@martinhernandez2804]

I have a question. There is no half sizing on the fracap shoes. Would you suggest sizing up or down?

[@TonSantatoSegobi]

The second combination I liked more, like bad guy from the old movies, now that if you improve the posture a little this jacket would look better.

[@michaelcozens7537]

Very UK Northern Soul circa 1970’s. Keep the Faith ✌🏻

[@TheIronSnail]

This is how I hope people describe my fits when I die

[@vetro.]

Wish this video dropped last week because my wythe pants are at the tailors and now I'm paranoid they'll hem them too short. D:

[@1fffffdd]

My best thrift find was three pairs of alden dress shoes for $10 each. Two of them I believe are shell cordovan and the other pair was vintage mouse pee, so I i had to toss those.

[@user-id8tq6er7b]

I love the Knickerbocker shoes but unfortunately shipping and custom duty adds a third of the price. This makes it hard to justify the purchase when you're not sure if they would fit your outfits that you currently own. What are the people's opinions on these? Do they go with everything?

[@benjiedayco2028]

What size did you get for the PRL jacket?

[@bkellem1]

Give us a glimpse of the mammoth jacket, please

[@TheIronSnail]

Just waiting on the wool to arrive!!!

[@_JOMOMA]

Wait Michael I can’t find on Carrot where you found the wool pants

[@TheIronSnail]

Thrifted :/

[@antonio_a87]

I actually think the Ralph Lauren jacket fits great a tad oversized like that, I think part of the reason your Gf liked the one outfit the best is because your not wearing everything as tight as you normally do.

[@osscarfransson]

ID on the trousers in fit#1?

[@daved3730]

You wished I looked more like Daniel Simmons 😂

[@angusmcdonaldboydetective]

Daniel Simmons is an unattainable standard and we shouldn't compare ourselves to him😂

[@Soloseas]

Hey Mike, quick question. You planning your escape from the watch game? Think you mentioned you were thinking of jettisoning your collection recently and with you possibly taking a step back from the T&H channel there seem to be some indicators.

[@TheIronSnail]

It's a great Q! Tbh I don't really know, I think so? I'll still be on T&H a bunch and I'm not leaving but lately I've been looking at the money tied up in watches and thinking about all the others ways I could use it with the Snail, and all that jazz! I tend to also go through this phase when I'm spending a lot of money (like buying a ton of wool and denim for jackets for the Snail!)

[@Soloseas]

@@TheIronSnail understandable and can relate. I for one enjoy your content and humor so whether it’s watches, clothing or something else as long as you keep producing content I’m watching.

[@qwuzzy]

More money in this video than my entire wardrobe.

[@TheFortune81]

Where can we find the wallet?

[@GhastlyGrapes]

Hey that Ralph jacket that you said you’d keep for life? 27$ take it or leave it yes or no

[@forzaauctionhousetips8640]

MIKE!

[@TheIronSnail]

YUUUUUP!

[@1wtl1welcometolife41]

What is the Name of the loose pants?

[@washcubby2555]

I always drool like a goon watching your videos.. are we watching you, or are you watching us?

[@TonSantatoSegobi]

This first combination was like grandpa's style in my opinion, very comfortable but very grandma 😅.

[@TylerOath]

If youre interested... Ive got a vintage 100% wool JC "Pennys" jacket in a green flannel style. size medium! it may fit you!

[@ajg52100]

Who made that passport wallet?
