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.

My last pair of jeans died almost 9 months ago and I've fallen down a rabbit hole of denim videos and have been completely paralyzed. I have no pants and I must scream.

Iron heart is great, but I trust it more to make me look cool on a motorcycle than to protect me when I fall off. Like I always say, safety second!

you described the I+W scene perfectly. mike wolfe from american pickers always has on willie jeans with a thrift store jacket. they were the first jeans i got from a smaller company after graduating from APCs

Well ty so much!

[@Sandalwoodrk]

I've never even worn a pair of Imogene and Willies But your description was so accurate of me That I feel compelled to buy a pair now

[@danielirvine7468]

This was awesome Do more brands I’m keen to hear what a PBJ person is 😂 Ps take us on a trip to Denmark to see her

[@circa54]

God damn Michael, pure comedy gold. I’m glad I subbed to your channel! I am watching this video barefoot, but naked and famous is my brand.

[@TheIronSnail]

You should try Imogene and Willie then! Bahaha

[@carlwest5936]

My fav brand is Bravestar so I guess I got a kinda americana cowboy vibe going, wear my chain wallet with em for some extra rock and roll look. But N&F is great too’ Keep up vids bro love sipping coffee and watching your stuff

[@cd6581]

the rag and bone straight fit killed me still dying rn

[@DanielSzilagyi]

hard to say, I want to experience a lot of the different brands but I have to say i've been very, very impressed with the quality of The Strike Gold. Every seam and stitch on my pair is perfect to the point that I thought it was a pair from IH for a bit. I do love my IHs for that reason as well but love and appreciate the detail and thought for Samurai and most recently have been really loving the style, fit and fabrics of Tanuki

[@northeastwanderer]

After finishing my six-seven video binge: I don’t know what to say beyond your videos are great as usual and extremely entertaining. Think about checking Bronson Mfg. and Knickerbocker NYC as brands for a video? Think they’re up your alley!!

[@itsmebutters978]

I love Bronson Mfg. That's all I wear these days. It's hard enough getting their stuff though, very loved by the people who know about it. I honestly hope Michael sleeps on this one, some things are to good to share lol

[@TheIronSnail]

Bahahaha who knows!

[@TheIronSnail]

And ty!! I’ll check them out!

[@KelechiAzu]

This whole video entertained me. Thank you

Another awesome video

[@niemodna]

Oh man, I really am a Levi“s girl, but those Imogen + Willie jeans just got me soooo hooked, I didn‘t even know that brand, man, I‘m totally shocked there actually is a denim brand that looking at their jeans could get me just as exited as looking at Levi‘s 501 90s!

[@kethiscool]

I really love Levi's jeans, but as i'm a shorty I've tried some Ash&Erie jeans, and fit quite well for my 26" inseam

[@TheIronSnail]

I’ll have to check them out!

[@Enjoipandas13]

Go to the tailor get them hemmed. For years I was struggling finding pants with the right inseam. It’s pretty cheap depending on where you go. Mine is only $10 and they do a good job.

[@kethiscool]

@@Enjoipandas13 Thats a great idea, but when you have no spare time to go to the tailor, I prefer getting those hemmed by the same company where I buy them

[@CarlosValentor]

Hope you’re doing alright brother. You are fun af and you make my day better, I hope yours is better too

[@TheIronSnail]

Ty my friend, feeling much better!

[@wagz54]

Rogue Territory would be a good one! My favorite brand is Samurai. The silver in the selvedge to play homage to a katana got me!

[@TheIronSnail]

I LOVE both of those brands!!

[@daianspahava8279]

Levi’s are definitely a old standby for a lot of people simple but gets the job done, but it’s getting harder to find great pairs that have a butterfly outseam, cause I like that look, for one thing though I’m loving the videos as always, you definitely deserve more followers and I love your personality and content, you have such a unique character and ideas that no one has done before and I will continue to watch these videos and your definitely right I look at peoples jeans not their bodies especially since I’ve seen a lot of people with holes in their pants and it exposed a lot and I wondered what they were thinking wearing something like that in public I definitely wouldn’t say naked and famous don’t go gimmicks, they instead do new innovations, especially since they collab with brands and other things that no one else has ever thought of. Especially who do you know as a denim brand collaborates with dragon ball Z and Batman of all things

[@TheIronSnail]

Levi’s are great for sure! There is a reason they are so popular and also TY!

[@laurens4561]

Can you give a recommendation for a brand which makes those Cape Cod sweaters? I need to purchase.

[@TheIronSnail]

Soft as a grape! They are in Mashpee but may also be online

[@dixierae3442]

I wonder what your definition would be of me. I have never in my life bought anything but Levi 501 button fly bootcuts. My prize possession is three pairs of Levi's naturally distressed buy wear and the washing machine. Devastation to me was finding out that they're no longer made in America. Aside from that Michael what really matters is that you're feeling better. I relate sweetie and I'm sending you positive energy and peaceful vibes. 😊😉

[@TheIronSnail]

You are the best!! Judging by your jean collection and comments your definition would be a lover of great products!

[@user-ub5tp8xu3x]

warehouse(from osaka, japan) probably satisfied you. its products have very vintage-like details, especially jeans are genius.

[@TheIronSnail]

I’ll look into them! I saw Cee Are Dee’s video on them

[@B1gD0wnH1ll]

Well I guess I'm going to buy a pair of naked and famous now. Another great video keep it up bud!

Any thoughts on GStar Raw? Their jeans, not really their image

[@danielperry5908]

Being a Gen Exer from So. Cal, I distinctly remember the beginning of Jynco Jeans, and they were just about exclusively for graffiti taggers and writers (piecers) and had nothing to do with Nu-Metal or any other subculture for that matter. This was in the early 90's.

[@MaurizioBunkus]

What about Sugar Cane tho? < :'- (

We have said Jean jacket since at least 70s and 80s. That’s the real term to me. What is the alternative term? Good video

[@TheLoneLander]

Denim

[@aarondeancurtis2199]

Fun Fact: I've been riding a motorcycle for 8 years and I can tell you that Iron Heart Jeans won't protect you. No matter how many ounces it has, the thing is that real motocyling clothing has thick protection plates + Kevlar (on the knees, hips etc.) in it. So if you want a Wilde One Brando Cosplay its fine but that Jeans will burn in your skin like hell if you fall. Btw: I like Iron Heart but its pure fashion/style.

[@JB-1138]

I crashed a motorcycle in regular jeans. They basically shredded on the asphalt. I wasn't expecting to be on a motorcycle that day. I would recommend armor jeans for anybody. And a full coverage helmet. That saved my life and my face.

[@aarondeancurtis2199]

@@JB-1138 Glade nothing bad happend! The same thing happened to me: I just wanted to go somewhere quickly in jeans and then I had an accident.

[@TheLoneLander]

He mentions wrangler

[@rubberlover666]

Come on, if your favorite brand is Iron Heart and you have kids, you’re using that flashlight to find a bench or bridge underpass to sleep under because you needed a $200 t-shirt more than your kids needed school tuition. Also, as a motorcycle rider, buy that Suzuki! Best/ worst decision you will ever make!

[@TheIronSnail]

Very true about Iron Heart…but those $400 flannels get me Maybe I’ll be getting a motorcycle soon

I just love comfort And I just hate Levi's it's too mainstream and big and overly expensive especially in Europe, its NOT LIKE YOURE GETTING AMERICAN or Japanese made jeans with the heritage and not as great quality of Jean's compared to others so yeah
