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)

**I always try to predict what the hot topic will be in the comment section and I somehow totally missed that the Mister Freedom jeans look *odd*. They were stiff as a board and not fully shrunk so they look WONKY. My deepest apologies here -- I'll soak them again and get them fitting right to show you next video. IM SO SORRY MISTER FREEDOM!!! I PROMISE THEY LOOK GOOD.**

Here in Asia, Uniqlo represents the upper tier of what the typical working class person can afford. You either buy 10 supermarket shirts that fall apart after a year, or 3-4 Uniqlo shirts that fall apart after 10 years. Over the years, it's cemented itself as a reliable standby for clothing that's not particularly interesting, but is well-made and durable while being priced fairly for their target market. In other words, the people who shop at and wear Uniqlo typically cannot hope to afford the clothing brands featured on this channel. Nobody who shops at Uniqlo for $40 jeans is ever going to entertain the idea of buying $400 jeans.

[@salmanzakaria1029]

in my country,wearing a 40$ jean is considered luxury.majority of the people buy jeans worth 4-15$

[@Plague_Doc22]

I disagree with the end statement. I think people often progressive increase their spending on clothes. When you go from a $20 pair of jeans to a $40 selvedge jeans, you notice a difference and can be intrigued by going up in price. That's how it was for me. I grew up in the hood and didn't have money when I was a student. Now that I make a good living in science, I can buy raw denim imported from Japan. But I still buy stuff at Uniqlo.

[@impendio]

@@Plague_Doc22agree, especially people watching these videos, we want the know how good can it be and in the meantime but uniqlo. My country doesn’t even have a uniqlo so I have to import said $40 selvedge jeans from the usa, the $400 jeans from japan are inspirational in comparison.

​​@@Plague_Doc22He's talking about Asian countries with a lower average wage. If $40 is the upper limit a typical working class person in his region can afford to spend to a pair of jeans, then a pair 10x that, coming in at $400, is obviously out of their price range. I don't know how you can disagree with that statement, especially without knowing which Asian country he's talking about. The average monthly wage could be anywhere from 200-500$ in countries like Vietnam or India or 2000-3000$ in richer countries like Japan. $400 could absolutely be out people's budget, hell it's out of most people from western countries budget.

[@christophergreen9928]

I worked for Uniqlo back when the only US location was in Soho. Hated almost every moment of it but I still shop there religiously. And with time, maturity and a few visits to Japan, I've come to learn Uniqlo really was trying to import their Japanese work culture and customer service standards into the western market. They even had us shouting promotions at customers at the top of our lungs. Thought it was absolutely insane, but in Tokyo its common practice. The quality has dipped over the last 10 years but still higher quality than most fashion retailers within the same price range.

[@Mryodamiles]

Do you think the Uniqlo products sold in Japan is of the same quality as the exact same version sold in US? I noticed that they sold a lot more blend products in South East Asian markets to lower costs.

[@bit2easy]

[@joaoie]

I went into this video because for the past couple of weeks, I've been thinking to myself that maybe Uniqlo quality isn't as good as I thought it was, I have shirts with holes, frayed collars, pants splitting... Then over the course of the video I realized that without even thinking about it, my Uniqlos lasted roughly a decade with terrible care, regular wear, and minimal fading. They were among the cheapest shirts and pants available at the time. It still is incredible value, and the fact it took 8 to 10 years to get to the point that I would no longer wear them is testament to the quality and value. I've spent more on clothes that would wear out in less than half the time.

[@wlcutler]

That's why Uniqlo does well. When I discovered the store, I bought a $10 cotton Tshirt, expecting it to shrink unevenly. It did not shrink at all, even machine washed and dryer dried. And it feels fine, still fits nicely. It was unexpectedly good quality. Their light down vests and jackets have been the best for warmth and compressibility and they're easy to machine wash. We're not used to goods at Uniqlo prices behaving well.

[@OnboardG1]

Marks and Spencer used to be like that in the U.K. back in the 2000s. I still have some M&S shirts and T shirts that have held up extremely well. More recent ones have very much not (they tend to go around the labels and collar). I mostly buy everyday shirts from Uniqlo now.

Low level Uniqlo employee here: Quality wise, I would say its better than any similar price point/fast fashion brand (Even lululemon for the most part) For durability, what I bought in asia havent broke down in the years that I wear them (I do grow out of a lot of pieces though) Overall, its better value to buy Uniqlo in Asia compare to the north america since its usually 30% cheaper for most item. Really good option for people like me that HATES logo on their shits (feels like a walking advertisement for the company lol)

[@markhutchinson5857]

In Vietnam, It's 40% cheaper in the stores and 80% cheaper in the factory stores and pop ups. Pretty good quality for Primark prices

[@Eihei]

Oh god, you just made me realize what is one of the main things that i hate the most about current "mainstream" fashion - the logos. It's absolutely inane how being a literal walking advertisement is still considered by most people as "prestigious" and "fashionable".

Really? I find the quality of Uniqlo leaving me so so wanting. And I am getting my Uniqlo clothes in Singapore. The skinny fit stretch jeans I bought lost their stretchiness after a year or two, the Airism sports T-shirt in white turns into this weird greyish off white colour after about 10 washes. The tennis RF shorts looks worn out after several washes. I’m really not impressed.

[@jgb0017]

I found myself a bit confused by the metric. Are you comparing Uniqlo’s products to the most expensive artisanal brands or are you using those expensive brands to establish a quality baseline? Either way, you do not explain the “why.” While I enjoyed the video, I kept asking, ‘what are Uniqlo’s competitors, and how do they compare,’ and ‘does Uniqlo offer more in the give-and-take at that price point?’ Enjoyed the video, though. Always entertaining.

[@paulmcgrew2932]

This is an excellent point

[@ipaddleYOass]

This why i dont like his reviews. He never take the price into account. Its always "expensive = better"

[@pedrorojas0116]

What I got from this videos is this. Uniqlo makes clean/ well constructed clothes with cheap/mediocre, raw materials. They are good for a "budget brand" but ig compared to other higher end brands they are gapped in quality. Which makes your question a great one, "who is their competitor". The comparison he made in this videos was the worst I've seen lately, he usually does a better job at doing that. It would be like comparing a regular hyundai with a lexus or even a porsche. At that point it's not fair. I've heard good things from uniqlo and not much complaints really. If you're on a tighter budget they would be a good brand to buy from especially if it's their t shirts you're buying.

[@pedrorojas0116]

​@ipaddleYOass lately I have seen a trend of him doing that, I think it's about the fact that he gets sent stuff for free which is what causes the extremely biased picks, if he actually had to buy this clothing with his own money to do an actual comparison, he would not be hyping up and recommending the pricier products over the affordable ones. Nobody who can't afford to throw out cash on 100+ dollar clothing will be delusional enough to recommend overpriced clothing just to wear casually. You can't justify that unless you're rolling in money. It's ridiculous spending that much on a damn white t-shirt or a Gray sweater. Even spending that much on denim is stupid when it's gonna get beat and abused to hell naturally.

[@shinymuuma]

Yeah. I know if I paid premium there're countless other brand better. But my biggest reason to be a Uniqlo believer is because I dont know any other brand around their price and quality.

I've spent quite a lot of time in Japan over the past 30 years. Back in the early 2000's after I discovered Uniqlo, I'd fly from my home in the US with just the clothing I was wearing, and then purchase everything I needed for a several month stay. What I noticed over the years is that there was definitely a decline in quality. The clothing I bought back then in Japan was most certainly of higher quality than what they currently sell in their US stores. The selvedge denim jeans for instance, was heavier, and much longer lasting back then.

[@amduser86]

honestly that is not a uniqlo problem. that almost universal for every brand. adidas football shoes used to be a lot better. they used to use kangaroo leather in there top of line range and that is the best leather money can buy. now they phasef it out, due to "animal welfare". honestly i do not the the difference to cow leather. both animals have to be bread an killed an synthetic leather is just bad. there is a reason why kangaroo leather is still used for motorcycle suits in racing. if they could, they would use something different....

There's a reason why most of the work wear clothes got popular, cheap and standardized. Wearing the fabric down gave it the character we know today.

Uniqlo entered Indonesia about a decade ago. At the beginning, I hesitated to go there because I thought that it was just another unaffordable brand, because the shops was so classy and the stuff really looks expensive. But when I was finally went there with my wife, I found a nice t-shirt that I really like. It's a black AIRism t-shirt. I dared to see the price and I thought, "Wow, that's not THAT expensive." So I bought it, and I looooveee it! It's soft, looks good, and so durable. Before I know it, now I have many of Uniqlo's products: t-shirts, UV jackets, sweaters. I love them all. And in Indonesia, if you're wearing Uniqlo, people will easily identify you as classy. Oh, I still have the first t-shirt I bought, and it's still rocks! The color is still solid, the fabrics is still stretchy, no loose threads, and the style never gets old.

I don't necessarily shop at uniqlo just because it's pretty good quality at a reasonable price. I also shop there because it's a fantastic retail experience. Here's what uniqlo does right: 1. The male and female sections of the store are equal in size and variety. As a man, I often feel like an afterthought when shopping for clothes. Not at uniqlo. 2. Uniform sizing: uniqlo's sizing is very regular. In general every shirt of a given size will always fit the exact same. In other places, every shirt fits slightly differently, so you can't be sure a given size will fit. 3. Standards and variation: uniqlo will often have many color variants for a given item, that are otherwise identical. 4. Shop organisation: at uniqlo, everything in a given category is in the same section, organised by style and colour, making it exceedingly easy to find what you're looking for. At a standard department store they're spread all over the place. 5. Plain: the vast majority of uniqlos clothing are fairly nondescript, without big logos, writing or pictures. You want a plain blue shirt? Most stores that can be absurdly frustrating to find. Not at uniqlo. The outcome of this is that I can go into a uniqlo, try on one or two items for reference, and walk out with an entire wardrobe in just an hour's shopping. Uniqlo is the clothing brand made for people who hate shopping for clothes.

[@RK0978]

For me, a person from the “Global South”, Uniqlo is reliable, sometimes surprisingly good and always of good value. It’s NOT anywhere close to a “high-quality” brand, but when Zara and H&M are already expensive (and are often more expensive) to my country’s middle class, UNIQLO is almost always going to be the majority’s Goldilocks zone. I dream of a day where one could buy those $400 jeans and whatnot, but for now, it remains to be a very special purchase.

[@dickiewongtk]

I hate it when people say Uniqlo is fast fashion. There is nothing fashion about Uniqlo, it is literally selling the basics for the masses, clothings that you always need and will never go out of fashion.

[@atthelord]

Hey! Wanted to chime in and give you some insight into their manufacturing process and how their standards have changed over the past 20 years. This is from someone coming from the manufacturing end of things. 1. 20 odd years ago they were far more stringent about the manufacturing process often outright walking out of deals if their standards weren’t met. Currently this is only the case for production going to developed countries including their home turf. What this entails is that their standards are different for what’s sold in India and different for what is sold in the UK or US. You can feel this on the manufacturing and a buying end. Same line of clothes for differently, feel different, different in quality and durability. VASTLY. 2. “Forced” labour isn’t something I’ve personally come across with Uniqlo as such but know for sure it exists in a number of regions. Main problem is that workers are currently available dime a dozen in developing nations and willing to work at lower wages. In places where there are no labour unions or proper worker rights, this is pushing work force to compete for jobs at a lower pay and knowing they can be replaced immediately, makes conditions a harsher. Doomed if you do doomed if you don’t scenario. Working conditions in those factories whilst borderline ok, the pay is certainly not ok! 3. Cotton quality has varied over the years, currently what is being used for basics is determined by which market the product is being made for. Cheaper markets ? Cheaper materials. So yes you are correct when you say they are limited by their supply of quality cotton. 4. Wools are a hit and miss like you’ve said. I only know of second hand info- but in essence, in a shock to no one at all, their more expensive lines are actually well made, and the cheaper ones, whilst durable are certainly made with more chemicals, cheaper materials, quicker weaves and stitches and a tad higher redundancy rate. 5. Jeans are great. A lot of their material for this is sourced from India. Depending on what you’re willing to pay, there is some fabulous denim available.

As domeone who's not super into fashion but still care about looking presentable when i leave the house uniqlo has been a godsend. I used to go buy most of my clothes at h and m , amazon, american eagle , roots , or other mall brands here in canada. And often found the quality of the garments with the exception of Roots did bot match the price i was being charged , and stores like h and m would sell me clothes that looked great for like 3 washes, i also hate branding so i would avoid the vast majority of clothes these brands offer.

[@alfredjustindumalagan]

I dont really get the comparison between a $60 uniqlo clothing to a clothing double or even twice as expensive, and then saying it is inferior, of course a clothing that's much more expensive is going to be better, but the impressive thing about uniqlo is how it manages to compete with luxury clothing brands while still be at the price range that people often considers fast fashion. I get the objective comparison and one must always be critical on things, but what matters in purchasing something is the value, and how much the customer gets from what they paid for.

This has been my take on Uniqlo for years. Construction is always pretty not bad, and I still wear the pieces I bought from uniqlo when I first got into fashion so those years ago.

[@Thermocup]

One personal con I have from a style perspective is that in larger cities a lot of people buy Uniqlo. And if you buy their printed shirts or shirts with unique patterns you start to notice everyone wearing the same thing. I see so many guys with Uniqlo oversized tees. Other than that really like the brand.

[@sentiasatransformasi]

uniqlo's underwear line is top tier yet underrated.. I also love their linen pants too.. if I had the chance to make enough money to rationalize buying $90 blank t shirts, I would still buy my underwear from uniqlo

Their Airism underwear line for men is top-tier. My wife used to love their seamless Airism underwear too, but the adhesive tends to degrade after a few years causing them to fall apart.

I've bought things from Uniqlo 10 years ago that still hold up today. Definitely notice a higher level of quality from Uniqlo compared to other brands at a similar price point, and I think they're a great place to go if you need inexpensive workwear.

I’ve been in japan for over 20 years and Uniqlo has been the staple of my wardrobe. Their heavy weight tshirts are by far my favourite. The example you showed is less than $10 here and has been ever since I have arrived. I still have some that are 15 years old and going strong. A bit stiff at first but get better and softer over the years. They keep their colour no matter how you wash them. Want them faded? Give them a dry in the Sun every now and again, otherwise just tumble dry them. Indestructible.

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

It's not polyester coated it's silicon. Finishing fabrics is a huge thing, everyone does it and it's a huge component of the know-how of a mill. Everyone can spin or weave but can you finish the fabric like [insert random Italian Mill]? No, because you don't know how they do it.

I really love UNIQLO as a person that unlike many others does absolutely not enjoy shopping for clothes. It's a necessitiy, sure, and I like to have something nice, comfy and durable to wear. But I really dislike having to go into crowded places with so many silly brand logo clothes to buy very cheap quality for quite some money, struggle with how the supposedly same size ends up fitting me or not even within a brand... Even at UNIQLO, I don't enjoy the shopping, but it's made much more bearable to me. It's easier to navigate the stores, there is no/less obnoxious music in store, except for a separate section, it's mostly very down to earth in style (no weird logos and stuff), although not having the lowest prices nor the very best quality, value for money is at a weet spot of affordable yet very good for the money. I also like the fact that they are very consistent with some product lines. May products are being offered again and again, just with different colors each year - so if you've found something you like, you get the opportunity to buy it again, just with some new or additional colors for your wardrobe. Size and fit remains the same, you can just order it online and you'll know it fits.

[@someguy9520]

Back in may when i was on holiday in japan, i biught some tshirts, rainjackets and trousers from uniqulo. I was flabbergasted how to prices were and especially the price to quality ratio.

For cold weather, Uniqlo's Heatech can't be beat for the price. I routinely bicycle for 2+ hours in subfreezing weather with Heatech layers and a light jacket. And as for innovation, the self checkout has been refined to the point where the RFID tags automatically scan, and all you have to do is pay and go.

[@iulioh]

About fast fashion(FF), i think that even even FF clothing companies do have good and not-FF lines. Uniqlo does have anime/collabs that i think are FF but H&M does have the Premium line and that's fire. As a video idea, i think going over the H&M Premium Selection line could be really cool.

[@TheIronSnail]

Now I didn't even know H&M had a premium line...INTERESTING. Generally, I'm going to stick to much higher-tier brands on the channel but sometimes I see brands like Uniqlo that just get so much resounding positivity around them I'm curious! Now I'm off to research...thanks for the comment!

[@iulioh]

​ The problem at the end of the day is reach, talking about why some higher end brands are better than what a normal person is familiar with i think it's the best way to make the comparison. This video is a good-ish example of that. I say -ish because i don't feel really convinced that "buying better" is better. Do i buy a 400€ pair of jeans or one a year for 10 years at 40€? The 400€ WILL win the comparison but...will it after year 3? Uniqlo being "really good" is a good example of the best a resonable amount of money can buy, over it you get diminishing returns

[@Sayhoun]

I have being shopping in Uniqlo last few years in NL and in JP, the quality is good and was originally the to go place for office workers in Japan. Later they expanded to other consumers. What I like about them: - great quility/price, - no branding, - various shapes and colour options, - near consitant quality, - almost everything 40°C machine washible, - dryer does demage the materials, but I like its conveniance so with yearly >50× combi-cycles: shirts and pants stay good for about 1-2 years, while underwear & sock under a year. - they incorpare tech (sometimes advanced) into clothing which is often unavailable below €100 at most of their compatitors. - only downside are the more fixed Japanese inspiret SFW style and they have limited size selection for some clothes in their shop (vs online).

[@kristofkozari9040]

underwear and socks under a year??? What do you do with them? :O My underwears/ socks (although not Uniqlo) last about 8-10 years average. I only wash them on 30 Celsius and don't tumble dry and don't use anything else just the washing capsule/ powder (so no fabric conditioner).

[@oxvendivil442]

The best Quality of UniQlo is their fit, very suitable for Asians and Latinos or even for Europeans, their fit is more on the wide and short meaning for most body types who are well, not model types, would fit, you don't get a long sleeved shirt that fits your shoulders but whose sleeves are way past your hands or pants that fit your waist but whose leg hems go way past your feet.

[@lulupiperu]

THIS, I'm a 165cm male with a slightly athletic build (large shoulders) and quite large hips/butt for a man of my size. It is a pain to find stuff that fits me, be it long-sleeve tops or pants, Uniqlo seems to be the only widely available brand to have fits that are compatible with my body type. When most brands are making clothes in size M that fits on slim, +185cm models, you can only imagine what their XS size look like on me: too long yet too narrow.

[@MijinLaw]

Right and the opposite is also true: I'm 192cm tall and athletic. I can't think of a worse store for me in terms of fit. And I will say it's not quite as easy in general for tall folks as being suggested here; few off-the-rack shirts really fit me. The compromise I've often gone for in the past is to buy shirts that fit me length-wise and then tailor the shirt myself to not be too baggy. But my tailoring skills are not so good to bring in the large arm-holes which off the rack shirts generally have.

I love them, they fit me great, they look great, the quality feels great, and as much as I know that if I was to go into Clutch Cafe and look at some real high quality Selvedge I'd be able to tell the difference, for my budget and the amount I'm wearing them, the Uniqlo ones do exactly what I want them to.

I used to just buy their backpacks, printed tshirts, coats, hoodies, etc. It was affordable and good quality clothing. Then at some point i stopped wearing them or a lot of people didn't wear as much. Then maybe like fast forward to like maybe 2015ish, it got really popular again with the uniqlo collabs and better quality design. I used to go back and forth with Uniqlo and Muji. For now i stopped buying clothes from Muji and i have a few pair of pants and coats from Uniqlo. I think for basic wear, they are really good.

For almost a year now I've been filling my basics up with Uniqlo (shirts, polos, underwear, socks and some dailies like a pair of "cheap jeans). For outerwear, sweaters and shoes I will still go a little more expensive (yet still affordable). As a kid we were taught that outerwear was extremely important and investing in something qualitative and timeless will go a long way. This philosophy still stands and I've had some Barbour accessories (scarves, bags and a jacket) for nearly a decade now. As others have pointed out their more expensive lines are often good quality (even outerwear) and if you go with cotton you should be fine for most of the stuff. The only problem I now face is where to get proper sweaters and cardigans, since the quality of those at Uniqlo did disappoint me.

I wear multiple Uniqlo articles every day. Some combination of: t-shirts, socks, "heat-tech" and "airism" underwear, fleece, pajamas, and activewear for working out. These items all have very simple but thoughtful designs and I think are an exceptional value for the price. I also have a "+J Oversized Parka" that I bought from them that is an absolute tank, very well designed, and keeps me warm in pretty much any winter conditions. I have bought a couple items from them that I consider duds. I don't really like their ultralight down jackets. I find the fit to be pretty constrictive and not all that warm... I think you're better off spending the same money on something with synthetic insulation from Uniqlo or somewhere else. I also don't like their "block tech" waterproof shells - they don't have the adjustment points you need to really keep rain out in bad weather. They are probably fine for casual use, but if you plan to spend any time at all really outdoors, I think it's better to go with a brand that specializes in clothing for the outdoors (I think REI is the best value here). I also don't think their sweatshirts are very good - they just aren't very warm. Better to go with fleece which is warmer and softer at pretty much the same size and weight.

[@airpork91]

Here in Singapore, Uniqlo is the unofficial men's attire for everything (shirts, jeans, chinos, socks, underwear jacket ). there's even complaints by ladies in Singapore that young men in SG all look the same in terms of fashion sense as we buy our bulk of our everyday clothing from Uniqlo. im pretty sure its the same as well to some varying degree for other countries in Asia. it's considered a safe fashion , reasonably priced, decent quality , contemporary fashion line for the young to the not so young - helps that its a Japanese brand so it gives it a little edge in terms of brand coolness. I myself do a Uniqlo run 2-3 times a year to stock up on all the essentials and many do the same too. Its so quintessential that most shopping malls would have a Uniqlo in Singapore. 2 other reasons why they succeed is that 1) they have a reasonable fit for Asian people (many western brands just do not fit well to Asian body shapes) and one that i find very important for me - 2) they provide in house free alteration for chinos and jeans (for most items) in case the pants length are too long (we're mostly short boys here) - and they will typically do it within 1-2 hours of purchase - FREE. yes certainly their jeans are not of the same standards as iron hearts, momotaro, nudies, or April77 etc (i used to own one and sold it off) - but for everyday wear its great at it's price point
