Thank you to www.webuyoldjeans.com for sending me this jacket! Check them out to sell your oldies!
Down jackets. Canada Goose, The North Face, and Patagonia. Excuse my language but these are the big fatty baddies of the winter jacket world. However, one brand that you most definitely heard of, Eddie Bauer, is the reason they all exist (and really, make jackets) today. Today we are diving butt first into the Eddie Bauer x Buck Mason Skyliner jacket and talking about how the heck we got here. In videos to come I'll be talking about how to find the perfect winter jacket for you! So stay tuned up!
Bye.
Can I interest you in a hot bowl of following ME and The Snail in other places??

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)

This quilted coat from Buck Mason x Eddie Bauer is the first coat my girlfriend saw while we were shopping around that legitimately had up late at night still thinking about it for a week after we saw it… guess I know what she’s getting for Christmas. Thanks for all of the great content Michael, keep up the great work and I hope you and yours have a great holiday!

[@tomsitzman3952]

In the late 60's my wife and I bought two down mummy sleeping bags from Eddy Bauer, with no zipper. You slide in from the top. Big puffy square quilt design. very warm but no way to ventilate. My wife installed a zipper down the side and across the bottom so we could use them as a quilt =, giving us a wider temperature rage to use them. We also bought two one pound down bag liners. to use in mild weather. They are still in our camping inventory. Nesting the down liner and the sleeping bag can keep you warm to way below -20C. The problem for X ski touring is bulk not weight .

[@OrionGould71]

My first job was working at the Eddie Bauer store in the mall. Perfect for a 6'2" 300lb offensive lineman with all the big and tall offerings. That year I begged my grandma for the grey herringbone Skyline we were offering at the time, and it's still one of my go-to jackets about 12 years later. The company has declined a fair amount, but they still make great jackets and flannels.

[@zenerone99]

I have this jacket for over 10yrs. Had one winter with no heat and I wore this all week to sleep and survive the cold. It saved my life. Still my go-to jacket every winter.

[@alanrogs3990]

Why no heat?

I bought this several years ago when they first reissued the sky liner. Has held up great. Looks great.

For years, I thought my interest in watches and gear were mutually as exclusive as Toobers making specific content for each. Now, I know you’ve got vids for both! Great vid, Michael. I like G-Shocks for the same reason I love vintage Brown Labeled North Face, 1970s LL Bean and CG.

Have this jacket in the color for about 8 or 9 years. One of my better purchases. Fits like a dream. Warm as all heck. If it got lost today I’d buy a new one immediately. I think that’s the highest praise one can give any product

[@thehoardedgrotto8521]

I needed a fashion history expert with a sense of humor. The universe sent me you. I love this kind of entertainment. Thank you for existing. Puffy north face jackets were cool in 2004. They had diamonds but the ones that came into style the last 5 years have lines not diamonds are are alot less puffy. Its more flattering.

[@shekharmoona544]

Columbia Turbo down is probably my favorite because it's a lightweight hybrid with a reflective liner. This is a beautiful jacket.

[@janibeg3247]

I have an almost 50 year old Eddie Bauer Kara Koram parka. The nylon shell is wearing out but the jacket is still very, very warm. It used to be that in Northern Michigan i could not even put it on inside. I had to put it on outdoors .

I have the Eddie Bauer 1936 down jacket in grey in too sizes (for wearing with with a short sleeve t-shit, and a larger one for wearing with a baselayer shirt and a thick wool sweater). It is minimalist, stylish and high quality. I got both on special for 135$ CAD during Boxing Day and Black Friday a few years ago. Their “free fuse” tech on some of their higher fill power thin down jackets is awesome. (The baffles are melted together instead of being stitched where cold wind and water can go through the stitching.) also a correction. What the shell is made of depends on the color. The black one as well as most other ones currently available are 73% nylon and 27%cotton while the gray or charcoal (i forget what it’s called) is 100%polyester. I find the nylon /cotton blend fabric attracts more pet hair and stains but is possibly more breathable and a hair less water resistant while the polyester one feels nicer to me and is more water resistant. Also definitely don’t go out for too long if its snowing a lot as it will eventually soak it up as its not waterproof and avoid any amount of rain. I thankfully haven’t gotten it wet enough to where i noticed it lost any warmth though. Perhaps spraying it with a waterproofing spray would help. Huckleberry makes a much more costly version of this jacket that has a wool lining instead of synthetic (synthetic is more durable but noticeably less breathable) and 800 fill power down instead of the usual 650fp (80/20). Although i don’t know if they add the same amount of down so its warmer or if they add less so its the same warmth but lighter weight.

[@TheIronSnail]

Thanks for all the info! I should have specified I was talking about the Eddie Bauer x Buck Mason collaboration but you're right on the money! Also, I had the Huckberry one and it was AMAZING! Crushed this one in terms of materials and functionality but this has that classic style going for it! All the best!

I just bought new EB down parkas for my wife and me, and we’re loving them and sure to stay warm on the coldest days. I looked at Canada Goose too. Everyone in NYC seems to own a CG, but EB is just as good at 10-15% of the cost.

While I grew up with cotton, I have fallen out of love with it. Besides the drawbacks that it absorbs water/sweat and keeps it next to your skin and takes longer to dry, it also doesn’t launder well as it wrinkles and pills and stretches and isn’t very durable & it stains easily. Now there’s much better technical fabrics that out preforms it in every category!
