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)

OOPS! Frizmworks should actually be first (the vid is by price!) they just opened their own online shop and their jacket is around $220!

The North face and Arc’teryx blow all of the others away. In all categories. The jacket you fell in love with was just a personal obsession you ended up with.

I love your review style. Packed with substance, but with some light hearted jokes sprinkled throughout. Thumbs up.

[SeanLarrinaga]

Damn, I literally just bought a down jacket for myself for Christmas and NOW you drop this episode 😂 I’m gonna wait until your wool jacket episode drops before I pull the rigger on anything (also waiting for the announcement of yours, I’m (im)patiently awaiting that day).

One final note to be that guy: those corduroy pants are awesome. You should tell us what corduroy you recommend too 😂 keep up the great work Michael!

Love my beta insulated. I live in Canada and I've been wearing it during very cold weather (-20 degrees) and it's a charm. Warm, lightweight, comfy and long enough.

Can't talk about the others though.

The last jacket was not long enough. For me the first choice is the jacket that fits the best. If it does not, you will not want to wear it. I have owned almost all of these brands and Arcteryx was the only one to keep me dry in spring skiing when it occasionally rains.

I have been skiing with an isolated Columbia ski jacket for 7-8 years. It kept with warm with minimal base layers during Jan and Feb at Ski Big 3 in Alberta, that would be -20-30 on a good day :)

Your vids are always a great way to start my weekend! At least when they’re on Friday evenings.

The problem with these jackets is that they snag on a tree branch and are completely ruined after that. That's why I went with the Carhartt Montana or the Carhartt Yukon extremes coat with cordera nylon. $150 will buy you the carhart Montana and $200 will buy you the Yukon extreme's jacket with the corduroy collar.

For looks however, you cannot beat seager.

Glad to see i'm not the only one this interested in jackets, layering systems, etc. I've tried many over the years! Kuiu makes one of the best down jackets! Hydrophobic goose down. Simms makes some good jackets too like their guide insulated. Firstlite has some good insulation. Most primaloft is nice. Gortex is now getting thinner and much lighter. The newer stretch gortex materials are nice. But the arctyrx atom jacket is sweet! Soo much history in jackets! We have come a long way! Great video!

[OnderTARIM]

You should definitely check Kanuk down jackets, made in Montreal and they were the best ones kept me alive during -40 Canadian winters. Also, Filson down parka or down coat are great with waxed exterior

[OGKingfish]

I love this channel man, your enthusiasm is infectious!

[sstraight]

I bought the warmest I could find, for me it’s the Feathered Friends Rock and Ice. I don’t own a car so that freed up the funds for such an investment.

[jbundy]

Mammoth me, Michael!
Love the look of that Fjallraven greenland jacket, though I am also slightly biased towards the waxed jacket having purchased a Barbour Classic Bedale and Freenote RJ1. Help, my bank account hurts.

[BeyondLumination]

Feathered Friends are the undisputed best down jacket makers.

05:12 I love how casually he submerges his boot in water, that's a waterproof flex!

[thanGacao]

That Karakoram rendition from Frizmworks is an absolute staple item here in Korea, where the brand is from.

I think I'm here first so I'll say thank you Mr. Micheal Micheal, your vids are great and Ive been watching out for a few new pieces since I started watching. I just found a Best made x Dehan in my size and grabbed it for the incoming winter cold! Definitely the most I've ever spent on a sweater but I can't wait to try it. When you mentioned it, it got stuck in my head.

Also I you might like Open Sea Leather wallets. I have a kangaroo leather one and gorgeous, and a facinating leather.

[lenzthanner]

Why the f does he speak so fast i turned it down to 0.75 Speed and it sounded normal 😂

[michaelwidmann]

Can't wait for next week. I wanna see what all the hype is about. This is gonna be awesome.
