The Schott Perfecto! The most legendary jacket of all time teams up with 3Sixteen, one of the best modern high quality clothing companies of this GENERATION. I feel like I should be hitting a buzzer like one of those BAM BAM BAAAAAAM air horn things.
Is the leather jacket a loud and crazy piece? Oh yes. Was it made popular by the 50's baddies such as James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Elvis Presley? Oh yes. Is now some nerd in his apartment making a video on a specific one? Yes and that is possibly the least cool thing you could do with a leather jacket. So the perfecto or double rider or motorcycle jacket went out of popularity for a bit. Of course some people will say it never can go out of style which is true but it can come in and out of the spotlight. That was until Hedi Slimane brought the heat with his Saint Laurent biker jacket (made from lamb or cow I think) that the double rider really ROARED back into popularity.

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)

Bro, how'd you know my kink was watching a guy make split pea soup while wearing a leather jacket and some Levi's;)

[@TheIronSnail]

You always gave off that vibe to me and I figured I’d treat you!

[@LewyLewy2008]

That’s a fantastic perfecto. I kind of think such detailed style of jackets are going to either look cheap or very high quality (no in between). That looks definitely the latter!

[@TheIronSnail]

Thanks! That’s the goal!!

[@brianagee2790]

Anyway, I talk a lot about myself when I should be thanking you for the great, entertaining video. Thank you!

[@TheIronSnail]

Of course!!

[@vonningtonvon6499]

wow that jacket is nice... im glad you’re uploading again!

[@TheIronSnail]

Thank!!!

[@jeomacelmarques2033]

Jacket Very Biltifull congratulation 👏👏

[@brianagee2790]

Oh wow. Did not know this 1st collab was softer leather. Thought it was more like the Arabica steerhide with the Tea core. It kicked my ass and I had to end up selling it. Plus it was getting too big given the weight I lost... Think I'll keep my eyes open for this jacket if it ever comes up for sale used somewhere down the road. You can tell I haven't gotten the FCL jacket order yet cuz I'm still talking about buying an asymmetrical black jacket. Getting impatient... Lol

[@TheIronSnail]

Same those jackets are TOUGH this one is buttery smooth! Also haha I hate when i buy a jacket because I’m waiting on a jacket

[@MikiBlue]

I had a chuckle. That was fun video. I had a bit of a laugh. Nice jacket and I agree about the stitching. A rush job Me thinks

[@TheIronSnail]

Me thinks!

[@albertmanuel5028]

You’re making some great videos, keep it up. You do look like Bud Bundy, but that’s a good thing.

[@TheIronSnail]

Haha ty!

[@lolly4961]

nice suede piece. whats your take on distressed suede and the wear it takes after heavy use?

[@TheIronSnail]

LOVE IT! Not suede but there is a picture of viberg rough out boots in a tan color all beaten up and it’s truly incredible. Only thing though is beat up black suede I find turns green sometimes and I really am not a fan of that, grey would be cool though!

[@MultiVance123]

Hey iron snail! I’ve been a big fan for a while. I was wondering if you ad any experience with Freenote Cloth’s leather jackets? Thanks in advance!!

[@CoryDillon]

You probably know this by now. But if you're a Hoboken resident you can apply for a parking permit. Which should make it slightly easier to find a spot... Parking tickets suck

[@TheIronSnail]

Agreed! It helped immensely hahaha

[@SteamedCoot]

So I watched your 626 video. For some reason, I then went and bought a used 618. As you said, my back looked massive due to the footballs. I sold it and bought a used 626. As you said, the sleeves were too long. I sold it and bought a used 519. It's perfect. How'd you like being right?

[@TheIronSnail]

HAHA! We are all in this together!

[@patricksmatrick6193]

So weird, I have both a Levi's Sherpa Jacket and a really old Wilson leather motorcycle police jacket that I can hardly pull off wearing but can never bring myself to ever let go. The police jacket in bad weather is extremely good especially on a motorcycle. The Levi's Sherpa gets more compliments then I would ever expect.

[@TheIronSnail]

Both legendary jackets!

[@mattlesicko6440]

Here for the vlog

[@TheIronSnail]

This is what i like to hear!!

[@willfigueroa4213]

Love my p213. Great video snail.

[@TheIronSnail]

Thanks nacho!

[@javierdiazsantana]

Hey there man. I would like to ask you, how much do you think the thickness of the P613S is? Around 4 or 5 oz? I came to check out this video because i want to get a custom "Perfecto" here in Mexico in a pretty thick leather and some slight modifications from the typical biker design, something like a Schott Raven in a thick pebbled cowhide or maybe steerhide, it is the motorcycle grade leather that i see bikers use here in Mexico and pretty much the most durable offered by leather stores in the city. That jacket will cost brand new and tailor made (Maybe even bespoke) around 100 US dollars and maybe even less since i am small (5ft4? 5ft5 maybe) and the regular size model is the one that costs around a hundred bucks, the "junior" one might cost some 10 - 20 dollars less in the same leather. I now got a nice thin and lightweight cafe racer / band collar in lambskin, first leather jacket i owned, however gets easily stratched up, then got a cowhide one in a thrift shop in an extremely large size and got it cut down to my measurements. That one takes beating better and i could probably fall off a bike in that thing and as the leather tailors here in the town said to me "That thing could last after you're done in life and be handed down to your widow" Must be of around 3 - 3.5oz or stuff. The leather used in the biker jacket i want to get must be of around 4Oz. straight or maybe slightly more. Greetings lml

[@parksoo-kim6908]

What size do you wear? Looks like it fits you well

[@NikonFM2n]

Leather motorcycle jackets are oh so cool but here in Miami you'll wear them 3 times a year 4 weeks apart, for those oh so frosty 51°f mornings we typically get. It's a freakin jungle down here. Jajajajajajajajajajaja hahahahaha

[@TheIronSnail]

Hahaha!

[@JFANderful]

Have you looked into even higher quality leather jackets? Custom jackets from field leathers, aero, thedi, or japanese brands?

[@TheIronSnail]

I’ve looked into them but haven’t purchased, hoping to one day though!

[@JFANderful]

@@TheIronSnail I love your reviews and hope you can review something with shiniki horse hide in the future. That seems to be the leather most jacket people consider the best for a jacket.

[@TheIronSnail]

Yes I agree completely there! Also thanks so much!

[@Basboy]

The boot is a yellow clamp they lock to your wheel so you can't drive the car.

[@TheIronSnail]

Jokes on them I'm parked there because I don't need to drive the car

[@danielmendoza4451]

Is this a jacket that is lighter in weight or is heavier?

[@wateraerobics7]

You're the coolest person I don't really know on the internet, congrats!

[@TheIronSnail]

Hey wow thanks!!

[@maxkovacs7638]

As usual Helping comment. I really like you stuff

[@TheIronSnail]

We love a helping comment!

[@benficaM8888]

where did you get that short sleeved navy shirt?

[@myunghun7506]

what camera did you use it looks gorgeous

[@TheIronSnail]

Sony A7III!

[@RADIOballabuster123k]

Dude, I love your vids, a vlog would be great. you're funny

[@TheIronSnail]

Thanks!!!

[@hedwigtheowl]

How tall are you and what size is the Jacket?

[@MisterKnightly]

More stream of consciousness videos please.

[@TheIronSnail]

Deal!

[@khaingyn5166]

Hi i was wondering if you can answer this question, so you said you get your jacket shorten sleeve? How would you tel your tailored to do it for you? I would love to go get my fix since I have short arms, thanks 😭

[@TheIronSnail]

Messaged you!

[@Basboy]

I'm 11 seconds late to this. Sorry!

[@TheIronSnail]

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

[@RobertoGonzalez-qm7lb]

Does anyone know what size is he wearing?

[@matthogan506]

Good haircut 👍🏻

[@TheIronSnail]

Ty!

[@R2D2-V2D2]

I still like your other jacket

[@ericeli5145]

I wish you would have done review on p613s before selling it

[@TheIronSnail]

Me too! Haha

[@Thadnill]

Very interesting! I was initially interested in the Schott P613S jacket, because I liked the fact that it had black/gunmetal hardware which made the jacket look a little more modern, subtle and sleek, but I was put off by the heaviness of it (7 pounds), and also not the biggest fan of the dangling belt. So I have basically been looking for a schott perfecto with black hardware, no belt but still the same quality in leather. Is this maybe the jacket that I have been searching for? Where can I buy this? Thanks in advance and cool video!

[@TheIronSnail]

Ahh so sorry this was a limited edition jacket! I was lucky to find one on eBay!

[@Thadnill]

@@TheIronSnail oh, how unfortunate! From a friend to another, do you have any recommendations in where I can find what I seek?

[@TheIronSnail]

Hmmm what’s the budget? If it’s not too much of a concern Schott does do custom jackets! I’d also suggest waiting a month or two to see if 3sixteens release is a good one!

[@Thadnill]

@@TheIronSnail I'm actually willing to invest 500 - 1k if the quality is worth it (thinking for the long haul). But I didn't know that Schott made custom leathers, interesting, will check it out! Can't find any leathers at 3sixteens website at the moment but I will also keep an eye there :)

[@TheIronSnail]

I think they are in the next 1-2 months!

[@robbybolo9088]

Still living in jersey?

[@diegosbernardori8137]

Hi, good video!!! Where i can purchase that type of button covers? Thanks

[@TheIronSnail]

Ty!! Check out Good Art Hlywd

[@R2D2-V2D2]

My bad I think I like this one too,

[@walterblack666]

I really dig your videos.

[@TheIronSnail]

Why thank you!

[@Tiger24kicks]

I'm 5'5 your 5'9 and your a small I'm 160 you think a xs would be good.

[@TheIronSnail]

I think a small may actually suit you better except in length! Maybe consider a small and get the sleeves tailored

[@Plasticfortune]

subscribing so I can hear the rest of that "you tearing the taylor stitch jacket" story

[@TheIronSnail]

It seems unlikely with how frail I look, but I did it

[@benficaM8888]

damn I want this jacket now. but I'm 2 years too late. I would have 100% bought it. If anyone is selling a Large size, please DM me

[@benjaminking3103]

id on the shirt please?

[@TheIronSnail]

It’s from Club Monaco! Discontinued :/

[@davidallen346]

Your mind works like a woman who's constantly indecisive and unsatisfying with every results

[@TheIronSnail]

Must be why I’m so good with them!

[@user-oh5pn3py4p]

Wear a mask, get towed.

[@Limefighter99]

Dude, stop entertaining that weird guy with a leather jacket and levi jeans fetish

[@TheIronSnail]

I’m trying to figure out a way to still review a leather jacket without getting the fetish crew over here but im at a loss

[@Limefighter99]

Either way, great videos. I love your taste in photography

[@TheIronSnail]

Thanks so much!

[@CLOUDKID11]

That guy is weird, I've seen him comment on a dozen or more other leather jacket vids asking the same thing. Very odd

[@AcmeRocket]

😂😂
