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)

Iron Snail: come for the reviews; stay for the banter; root for the man and his jackets. (Colon/ semi colon usage correct?)

[@oscarcordero4671]

sure

[@TheIronSnail]

Too kind!

[@ejcandrin]

speak to a GE to see if your colon is working correctly

[@vincenzorossi6886]

I concur with all the comments praising your video format and presentation. My only bummer is, that most of your products are in the USA and out of reach for us in Australia. Keep on keeping on Michael.

[@TheMonsterproto]

The lighting in your videos are immaculate. Huge cozy fall vibes

[@TheIronSnail]

Ty! Gotta love that fall light!

[@GregPlaysGames]

Video quality just goes so hard! Great content as always. My top fall essentials, Burt’s bees chapstick and hand lotion.

[@TheIronSnail]

TY! And okay solid essentials!

[@xjoexedge]

ll bean fisherman sweaters are also pretty amazing as well and the ll bean flannels have been a staple in my fall/winter wardrobe for years!

[@TheIronSnail]

They are legendary!

[@thechief043]

I don't recall how I found this channel (maybe through Stridewise), but I never leave without a laugh. Great work dude.

[@ericblom1610]

What a mad lad, hats off to you for making the most original clothing videos!!

[@TheIronSnail]

Bahahaha ty!

[@NikkiPottnick]

Shirt jackets are great down here in the south. Its rare a winter coat is needed, so it’s a great option on the many 50-60 degree days

[@rickn501s]

You are very talented and knowledgeable about fashion. It's a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@TheIronSnail]

Ty so much!

[@joeypetty4723]

You are a mood changer!! It’s a gift. Always in a better mood after every video. I’m gonna say mood one more time, just cause! As always I appreciate the hustle. Mood

Well thank you so much!

[@davemck1887]

The clip of you on the floor stroking the jacket, LMFAO. Cheers mate.

I love thinking about how you must have planned putting these together. They’re legit well planned bro

[@TheIronSnail]

thank you!

[@HapaTimes]

For the LL Bean flannel, americans typically pronounce is as sha-mee, whereas the acadian/maine pronunciation of the flannel is sha-muwah

[@muhammadaliclay8976]

shammy is a cotton cloth and shaymuah is an animal

[@televisionblitz]

and here I am saying sham-wah. I have my dad's old LLBean Chamois and it is just fantastic.

[@TheIronSnail]

Ty for the tips!

[@GreatReset-ex1gg]

Check out the Mountain Pass boots from Danner. Goretex lined and totally waterproof. I love mine! The Mountain Light boots did not fit my feet well for whatever reason, it's a different last. I'm a 9D on the Brannock and wear a 9EE (they only come in one width) for the Mountain Pass. I like them so much I have 2 pairs and I might add a 3rd. By the way, your channel is amazing. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos, it really helps me decide what to buy.

[@sashayav5061]

Don’t forget tech ware underneath your heritage clothing. I wear Patagonia base layer underneath my pants and shirt to keep me extra warm and dry in fall/winter.

[@TheIronSnail]

That’s actually the perfect combination

[@jimboshizz]

I went for the Beaufort rather than the Bedale, and I'm obsessed with the game pocket at the back. Or more accurately, the tote bag, book and iPad pocket. so handy and it's like a nice little secret that I can keep those things while cycling without a rucksack!

[@TheIronSnail]

Oooh i do like the sounds of that…

[@eDDzguitar]

Had some 1907s for a couple of weeks, the copper leather looks perfect against autumn leaves ✌️

Sweater game is on point right here. I agree LL Bean cotton sweaters are great for transition weather and I'm jelly of the RRL flag sweater.

[@TheIronSnail]

Agreeeed and ty!

Try and get your hands on a 90s/early 00s Orvis jumper, they are all wool with a super tight weave and the collar and cuffs hold their shape super well

[@elijahodell6355]

Just picked up a Filson guide wool sweater the other day, and would love to hear your thoughts on it. I would be really interested in hearing a whole big review on a bunch of wool sweaters at once if you were ever curious what a random subscriber wanted

[@TheIronSnail]

Yes I want to do a sweater vid! I was peeping at that Filson sweater before, it’s a beast!

[@martyngreen7184]

You need to oil your boots man, that adds so much more weatherproofing! I've never had damp feet in my wings but I oil them religiously (ruins the colour sadly). Though you could be lazy and get the goretex lined Redwings instead. Love the chaotic energy in the videos!

[@wagz54]

Nice vid! Maybe some Danner mountain lites for boots? They have a gortex liner. I keep eyeing that llbean cotton sweater. I went for the wool fisherman one instead!

[@TheIronSnail]

Ooooh I need to look into Danner!

[@justinfarris7045]

I just got the Ashby in small. I’m 5’8, 140lbs and it fits great. If you are on the fence and looking at cheaper options, do not go the cheaper route with the walker and hawkes or other off brands It’s 1/4 the price but you will regret it.

[@shanecorwin731]

That RRL cardigan is a dreeeeeam wowee

RIGHT

[@minerforjob32]

Awesome to see you back

[@TheProco2020]

Well done on the nod to pronunciation of Bedale and Tartan. Not sure about the other fabric, I think it’s French.

[@johnfrancis4284]

First thing I thought of when I saw that ruck sack was stridewise... glad you got it for free. Cheers from Rhode Island via Massachusetts. Also if youre looking for a solid “shirt jacket” try ebay for a milsurp Korean War wool shirt.

[@TheIronSnail]

I’ll check those out and TY!

[@thewatchfemme4051]

Great video. Btw the birds said you look nice. Simple as that.

[@TheIronSnail]

Aww well okay maybe I do like these birds

[@elijahschnake3863]

I've a Flathead flannel and it is lovely, especially the brushed interior but those buttons are not secure and I've already had to sew one back on.

[@TheIronSnail]

Sucks to hear about the buttons!

TY!

[@RB-xv4si]

Yeah man, if you want the water tight seal in the welted boots, you really need to slather on a coating of leather dressing (Pecard?) several times. I hit mine with a blow drier right after because it melts it and seeps deeper into the grain.

[@TheIronSnail]

Ah interesting, I’ll try that!

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

As a fellow content creator I can so relate, to showing up somewhere, that’s normally completely dead, and BAM it’s packed! So frustrating!!

[@TheIronSnail]

It’s the WORST

[@JjBlinks1234]

What are your thoughts on pendleton wool flannels. I have 4 board shirts and I haven't worn any other flannel since buying my first. Awesome for an outer layer on those days that start cold and gradually warm up.

[@patrickjeter7928]

Regarding Filson packs... I have yet to see a review on the new (?) Oil Finish Rucksack. I'm surmising from the much lower price it must be lesser materials and/or made overseas, but it would be nice to see someone who knows about that stuff comment on the quality. Would love to hear your opinion on it, or maybe as a collab with Nick from Stridewise? Thanks for the great content. Keep it up. That 11k will be 111k before you know it.

[@TheIronSnail]

Ty so much, really appreciate it!

[@rubberlover666]

Michael / Carmichael out here dropping videos recklessly! Spitting in the face of the algorithm! That RRL sweater is gorgeous. As for waterproof boots, I can't believe you don't have a pair of Bean Boots!?!?

Mickael, did you know, why you have 2 press buttons on the back of your Barbour ? When you horse riding, and this rain, you open those 2 buttons, pass over the saddle.

Great video!! By the way, I understand several ornithological languages (to include Blue Jay, although the Blue Jays in the tri-state area often have funny accents), and I believe they were saying something along the lines of, "Wow, a Taylor Stitch sweater. What a surprise. That'd get torn to shreds on a 10 day bear hunt. Just sayin”

[@TheIronSnail]

Bahahahaha well they are awfully perceptive!

[@jimmydgrant]

I ended up buying a couple of sweaters at the dehen factory sale. Couldn’t be happier with them but yeah…you don’t wear them over a short sleeve shirt. Would love to get my hands on one of their lined hoodies!
