The Reason Jeans Are Still Blue.

[@nischaljimee2192]

KZbinrs need to learn from this man. No unnecessary intro, no fake sponsor, no lame puns, straight to the point.

[@TheIronSnail]

hey ty!

[@carlwest5936]

Agree 100% michaels videos are art while being very informative. I can see him making a career out of this!

[@cpostclothesrack2012]

Subs need more of him. From start to finish he delivers.

[@timsteppeler7489]

No it’s not, it doesn’t get to the point

[@shanecorwin731]

This video made me love huckberry (also screeched when I saw Bahzad & Risa great video!!!!)

[@TheIronSnail]

WE LOVE BAHZAD AND RISA!

[@morganspencer-churchill2136]

That oldest pair is enormous. That must've been a VERY big miner!

[@Panzer_Runner]

fun fact: in the Vietnam War, denim was used by SEALS because it protected the wearer from bug bites and its dark color was good for camo in shaded rainforest

[@BootSpy]

the timing of "nope, it's blue" was absolutely perfect. I probably watched just that intro five times and laughed every time... that got me good. Fantastic video

[@TheIronSnail]

Haha ty!

[@noogie13]

you know what's blue, supposedly, THE JACKETS, WHERE ARE THE JACKETS MICHAEL

[@TheIronSnail]

:) news coming v soon!

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

Bravo Michael! Another awesome video!! I'm so glad you're out there telling these stores with your special brand of magical story telling.

[@SpaniardDH]

cannot agree more... Mesmerised.

[@TheIronSnail]

TY my friends!!

[@carlwest5936]

I have so much respect for naked & famous for collabing with my favorite youtuber. You guys are awesome. And so is your denim!

[@PocketUau]

Dang it Michael, you’ve done it again, keeping me up when I should be trying to sleep!

[@TheIronSnail]

Bahahaha I hope you've slept since then!

[@PocketUau]

@@TheIronSnail nah, I've seen countless sleepless nights wondering how you're gonna impress me the next time I catch you on T&H or The Iron Snail :)

[@muhammadaliclay8976]

isnt the indigo used in almost 99% of jeans is synthetic?? the yield of natural indigo is very very low..

[@TheIronSnail]

it is now! Used to not be though

[@sebastienalbouy4471]

You're killing it!

[@TheIronSnail]

ty!

[@Tiger24kicks]

Nudie Jeans & Naked and famous is my favorite brands rite now

[@TheIronSnail]

I love them both!

[@danielwagner4412]

Congrats on the Huckberry sponsorship...even if I want to say Huckleberry (Val Kilmer Tombstone clip) in my head. The minutia of this is very entertaining. Especially if somehow everything you described was true but the color was orange? 150 years of people walking around with orange jeans would be wild.. I'll throw my vote into the nonexistent poll and say green would be a good choice if the whole indigo thing didn't work out. Finally, watching Risa and Bahzad wave in the vid was soothing somehow.

[@TheIronSnail]

ty! And I agree they are so soothing tbh

[@egeuludag972]

dudeeeeeee a sponsored video hell yeah. nice opening btw always fun to watch your vids.

[@TheIronSnail]

AYY TY!

[@strengthandbulkMadness]

Why did it take so long for black denim jeans to be made? Not much info on black denim before the 1980s.

[@TheIronSnail]

I'm assuming sulfur dye was too expensive for what jeans used to be! (pure work pants)

[@herracks]

Just got a new pair of momotaro jeans because of your channel. As always great video man.

[@TheIronSnail]

so glad to hear!

[@trevorhobbs4965]

Congrats on the sponsorship. Also, this was a cool video. Just curious, though, what jeans are you wearing in this video?

[@TheIronSnail]

Levi LVC 505's!

[@tylerlongtin9953]

Lets goooo!! congrats on the new found sponsorship!!

[@TheIronSnail]

TY!

[@callekapo]

I might be bias since I’m from the same country as this brand, but I recommend "Nudie Jeans", a Swedish company who makes great jeans/denim and are not that expensive. They have a store in NYC I think. I own several pairs and I love them. I think the whole brand-profile and aestethic suits your style. Would love to hear what you think. Plus - free repairs for life! I´m not sponsored btw (wish I was).

[@TheIronSnail]

I love Nudie jeans!! Just haven't grabbed a pair yet!

[@carlwest5936]

I love my Grim Tim Raw Selvedges. 13.75oz and fade spectacularly. The price is high but imo its worth it. The details are immaculate

[@carlwest5936]

Very informative and well produced video, indigo is simply the perfect dye for twill denim. The fades are amazing, its hardy and uv resistant and it simply looks BADASS! I have a pair of black sulfur dyed selvedges but I wear my indigos much more. Keep it up michael you are gonna be a big youtuber one day!!!!

[@inrptn]

Black is my favorite color of jeans, but my current favorite pair of jeans are blue.

[@TheIronSnail]

black jeans do have a different vibe to them (that I love)

[@adamkreuz9068]

Congrats on the Huckberry sponsor! They're awesome

[@TheIronSnail]

thank you!!

[@jasonbarlis4905]

I was literally wondering this yesterday, like did we think indigo/blue for denim just works after trying every other color? Or did it just happen and we went, "yeah, that's perfect". Love the vid, keep up the awesome work!

[@TheIronSnail]

ty so much!

[@joshuawade9618]

Bought my first momotaro jacket bc of this channel and also my second one bc the first one was a little small. Either way still love em

[@TheIronSnail]

so glad to hear!

[@jonlouis2582]

Sometimes you just have to wear Birkenstocks.

[@michaelshearer3559]

Dayuuum, Hucberry! You are big time now. Love it and well deserved Michael.

[@TheIronSnail]

WE MADE IT MY FELLOW MICHAEL!

[@orangutank626]

My bro kinda looks like Drake bell from Drake and Josh

[@tcomshere]

Also, it's blue because if it were green it would die... *I say, wearing OD Matcha denim*

[@TheIronSnail]

OOF big pair!

[@unplugged2432]

Yeah sorry but ppl back then didn't think this too deeply about it. They were just pants to them 🤣

[@TheIronSnail]

bahahaha (true)

[@EnduringAttire]

Great content ! but nowadays most denim is made using synthetic dyeing, if it's natural indigo is quite expensive like some Japanese jeans.

[@crackadoodle1287]

you are such an underrated channel! i mean the editing, transitions, and shots are gorgeous! i love your videos and keep it up

[@TheIronSnail]

ty so much!

[@aaronmombos]

Great video! What jeans are you wearing? Color is great as is fit.

[@TheIronSnail]

Levi 505 LVC’s!

[@Basboy]

Are you big time now?

[@TheIronSnail]

oooooooo YES! (technically no)

[@TheRealAlPhil]

Came here for an informative video, got this instead. Had to sit through too much cringey fluff to get some basic facts that could have taken less than half the time.

[@TheIronSnail]

if you think this had fluff you should see my other videos

[@TheRealAlPhil]

@@TheIronSnail I'll give it a chance

[@estebanfraticelli2978]

Also indigo dye is fire resistant so old Japanese firefighters would wear blue fire resistance suits to rescue people from forest fires.

[@bel19119082008]

TY!

[@jonboy8181]

Wouldn’t it be cool to make jeans with the inside on the out side? Or is that stupid? Or is that already a thing?

Ok, but what is the reason my jeans are still always breaking in the crotch. I don't want to face up to the fact that it's because I am 5"11' and far past 140lbs, riddle me that!

Over time they’ll get more and more comfortable until they just feel like regular jeans!
