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)

Good summary. I was a lady white co head before switching to 3sixteen. I think 3sixteen just does quite a bit better hanging onto its color and fit over time. Real test is always going to be in a white t-shirt. 3Sixteen’s thick white t-shirts dominate Lady White Co over time.

I don't think heavy weight is something that is universally appreciated in t-shirts. I have heavy GSM t-shirts that I layer with in the winter, but in warmer climate summers you just can't wear those in the summer. In these climates lighter t-shirts and usually blends beat anything heavy. You want something to keep you cool, and also to dry out when it inevitably gets wet if you move around too much. In that sense, a lot of the heavy t-shirts that try to convince you they're worth the price because they're throwing a few cents more worth of material on the garment are not just "not better", they're unusable.

Yeah, this isn''t a comprehensive "best to worst" comparison in every situation, but one that suits Michael in his temperate environment. The reason he favors the thick shirts is because they suit his climate. If you're in the tropics or desert kind of environment, the tier list might actually go in reverse. Thick shirts will kill you with heat and moisture, and thinner shirts with synthetic blends will keep you cooler.

I'd like to provide a recommendation; if you're looking for the BEST men's cotton t-shirt, then without doubt for me it's Sunspel Classic T (the made in England version) for the price ($100). I've collected many T's, from the brands mentioned in this video as well as from expensive brands like Loro Piana, Zegna, brunello cucinelli etc., and by far Sunspel is the best at making T's from 100% cotton. So when it comes to T-shirts made from 100% cotton, Sunspel wins. However, if you're looking for T-shirts made from different materials like (70% cotton + 30% cashmere or Silk), then the expensive brands win because they have far superior mills / fabrics, but expect to pay $500-1000 for a t-shirt.

I own a few I+W shirts. They have a vintage fit so they are cropped to have a shorter fit at the hem. But overall they still fit TTS, just expect that vintage fit. Check their site before buying because some shirts have different sizing but they usually say so on the site. Personally I love my I+W shirts and I highly recommend them.

A question on the Merz B shirt. I have a couple pieces from them and know they’re great. The thing about that t-shirt that slightly confuses me is when do you wear it? It’s so heavy wouldn’t it be too hot for summer wear? And when layering in other seasons wouldn’t you want a thinner base layer? Thoughts?

From how I see it the Merz's fit looks a little cheap. The material looks amazing but the way it's cut is a bit odd. The ends of your shoulders looked stiff and sharp. Unlike the 3Sixteen and the Lady White where the shoulder really rests on your shoulders comfortably. Great vid, never heard of some of these brands.

You definitely have to have an athletic build to wear Merz B Schwanen and fill out their shirts/henleys. I got to the gym 4-5 times a week and lift heavy so they fit me like a glove-wearing the 215 black tee right now actually. You definitely have to have the Carmy physique to make it work. Side note: Their hoodies are SSS+ tier… can’t praise them enough.
