I’ve been watching youtube almost everyday for 10 years, naturally seen so much that I tend to take for granted the work put into videos by creators. Something about your recent streak of videos has made me snap out of that and truly appreciate the quality being delivered. Everything just works so well, the personality, the storytelling intertwined with informational parts. Lovely shots and lovely colouring as well! Rambling aside, fantastic to have content like this on the platform. Thank you for what you do!
Fully agree and beautifully worded! There is no channel out there quite like it, and that's a real feat considering how many content creators there are out there. The Iron Snail needs way more subs, but I feel that they will come slowly.
"Somebody call Fall! I want my season back!" reminded me of my Aunt. Thanks for that. Also, I'm willing to donate toward a boot resole, or, bare minimum, new heel blocks.
A quick word about Taylor Stitch and my experience with them. Last year I bought a flannel from them called the Yosemite shirt. I was very excited to receive it and wear it and when I got it, I fell in love with it right away. The flannel is thick and soft as a blanket but after only 3 wears, it ripped at the cuff. This was pretty heart breaking given that these shirts cost 125 dollars. I think you'd be better off just buying flannel shirts from a different company, or perhaps my shirt was the only fluke, whatever the case, I will not be buying from them again, despite the fact that all of the stuff they offer is really good looking and modern, at least not at the price they charge.
@@TheIronSnail I reached out to them and they said I could go get it fixed by a tailor and that they would reimburse me with store credit….. no thanks.
@@xxflamezxx1ableThey offered to cover the cost to fix it but you declined… then you went online to talk about their quality issues related to the price point? What did you want?
the flap thing for the arms / back on the jacket help when extending your arms when reaching for the handle bars. so don't mess with it if you really are looking to get a bike.
I just bought a Carhartt Rough Cut, its a 9.4oz 90% nylon 10% elastane with a poly liner, as well as being wind and water proof it is super comfortable. But if its not raining ill stick to my trusty firm duck coat. Love fall most fashionable time of the year, layers on layers!
You are literally the Wes Anderson of youtube, you’re cinematography is so unique especially considering how Niche your channel is currently and what exactly you’re usually discussing! I love these videos, i watch them when I’m studying 😂😤
Dude, freenote cloth 100%... i sold every other denim jacket i owned when i got mine, it is the perfect trucker denim... that perfect mix of work wear and a little bit western.... also its cool that thier signature design isnt just a levis type 1,2,or 3 copy
This is probably way too late, but in my experience I'd say two things that might be causing those running issues are not having enough food and/water in you or running too fast.
I’m officially an iron snail fanboy. Even if I’m not on board w a topic, always a great watch. LOVE my freenote classic den jack but do have to point out; though I personally suffer from trex arms, do find the sleeves to be longer than most cuts. Just be prepared to cuff your sleeves.
I got a 16oz selvedge denim type II from Best made last year for $70 on sale. Nihon Menpu fabric and sewn in the USA, Best made is awesome if you can catch their stuff on sale.
I believe the woolen wool you're talking about might also be called roving, I've seen that in reference to hand knitting yarns. Not sure though cause I don't really use it.
That leather jacket is on the money I would not change it , when it softens with wear it will sit better. The fit is just one of those things that you feel is a problem but nobody else notices.
one of the best times to buy a motorcycle is when things get cooler or too cold for riding. prices drop. so if you still are looking for a bike. it might be a good time look around for one online. get a used one. maybe from a dealer so it's nice and cleaned up and working.
Michael!! You should definitely check out Paynter, I think you’d love their jackets. I was lucky enough to get a corduroy one last year and the stuff is really cool, made-to-order, amazing materials.
My wife bought me a dehen shawl sweater and yeah, it’s bullet proof. I really hope they restock their wool hoodies soon. And the RGT jacket is pretty amazing I just haven’t had much chance to wear it.
I've been watching the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket for probably 7 years, but I'm afraid that my torso is too long to pull off a motorcycle style jacket. :( Sad.
I have 2 Dehen cardigans, one shawled (same color as yours) and the other not (loden color). Looking forward to getting one more (old gold color, need a pop of color in my wardrobe). You had me worried there, I had mistaken that you said Dehen had been bought out. Also wool is warm when it is wet, so good test.
@@TheIronSnail Sorry, definitely didn't want to sound rude or overly critical. Part of the reason I've loved your content is it's often calming with intermittent exuberance/comedy. This video and a past one feel like mostly louder/funny. I like it too, but your tone seems a bit wild! For what it's worth I just watched a video where you had some sad news and Idk if you're also trying to stay upbeat in which case please carry on and thank you for the content! Sorry for this unwarranted wall of text. lol
Well, this video worked...it has me thinking about jackets. But, it was also quite a hectic video and I found it stressful and I just checked the weather forecast for London tomorrow. It says rain and I'm not prepared.
What’s the Canvas bag? Is it backpack or over the shoulder & how well does it deal with your iPad+Kayboard case!! ….. asking the important questions …..
These are GREAT QUESTIONS 1. Filson Rucksack 2. Eh, it’s a gorgeous bag but it really only has one pocket on the inside which is not convenient at all BUT I love the bag too much to let that stop me It’s also deceptively circular! The flap makes it look more squared
@@TheIronSnail thx for the answers. asked early and then later in the video that it was a rucksack. I have something similar from LLBean - a Maine Guide Rucksack I think it was called. Great but not “technology” great.
Hey Michael, Michael here. I just went to 10ft single in brooklyn (amazing store btw) to try to find a denim jacket and was kinda overwhelmed with the options. Wondering if you had any advice on a general fit for a denim jacket (they all felt a little high on the waist, not sure if that's intentional or not). Also any word on if you're planning on dropping your Iron Snail Jacket soon, i'd definitely want to pick one up. Thanks!
Hey Michael! Nice name!! I know the feeling! They have so many jackets it’s kinda like…these are all great It’s tough, they sit hire on the waist because they are vintage and people used to wear their pants higher! To get a longer cut you have to go modern Also hopefully soooOoon! Video update coming soon
Would you recommend the Ojai jacket for fall though? They are listed as a spring/summer item on their website. Are they heavy enough as a jacket to keep you warm in the NY fall?
I’m in the market for that Freenote 16 oz rinsed denim jacket. Would you say it’s true to size? I wear a Medium in Rogue territory jackets and shirts and it’s nice and snug
Michael when you're ready to sell the suede Schott jacket you let me know. Remember.. You're trying to go minimal so you should just sell it to me now :)
This is a great question…you can’t really at the end of the day but it’s cool to have a jacket where everything on it is just best of the best top quality made in small batches by some guys in LA!
my 3yo heard the Spooky Scary Skeletons music and came running in. he was really disappointed it was a guy talking about jackets and not, in fact, Spooky Scary Skeletons. I liked the video though. Don't listen to that kid.
If one wares any number of whales, I feel that anything over 1 is too many. Can you imagine a jacket with 7 whales? - They are endangered man.....asked jogging Michael he knows whats up.
As a former Jersey resident, it’s pronounced “le-nah-pay” after the Lenni Lenape tribe that was indigenous to that region (and most of Jersey). And suede in the rain? SUEDE IN THE RAIN??!’ Brother, you gotta start watching more Seinfeld now that you’re a NY’er. Learn some shit!

JUST WAIT UNTIL LIKE TWO OR THREE VIDEOS YIFAN
Will you have worn all the jackets in by them Micheal?

Wow ty so much!
Fall unlocks like 75% of my wardrobe 😂 jacket szn is finally upon us
Hahahaha SAME I finally get to wear all the clothes I have
I’ve been waiting since Friday evening for this video, can’t wait to watch!
WOOHOO!

I’ve heard some stories like that from TS (and almost every brand) I did hear that they have top notch customer service though so that surely helps!

Hi Michael, I commute via bike to work and I was wondering if you could do a video on good looking cycling jeans/trousers/jackets?
O I love this idea!
Michael dont miss! another great video!

I don't want to overreact but I think that leather jacket from taylor stitch might be the greatest jacket I've ever seen.
It’s not an overreaction I agree
Fall just hits absolutely DIFFERENT 🍂🧥👖
Fall just SLAPS
I traveled for 12 hours today and right when I came home I saw the new video, so perfect timing for me!
Glad to hear!

Dude, your videos are so good. It’s only a matter of time until your channel blows up. Legit didn’t enjoy TH-cam videos this much for a very long time
Wow ty!
the taylor stitch jacket is awesome, but schott for the win!!.
Schott is KING!
Very strange - the more I watch your videos the more appreciate them. It all looks accidental at first but it’s actually genius.
I’m officially an iron snail fanboy. Even if I’m not on board w a topic, always a great watch.

Great video mike. Very happy to see some wool and boot content as of late, fall is definetly here
Hey ty!!
Happy jacket weather! Imma go visit my coat closet and say hi, I’ll be back when it stops being 88 degrees outside.
Yaaaaa I’ll wait for ya!
I got a 16oz selvedge denim type II from Best made last year for $70 on sale. Nihon Menpu fabric and sewn in the USA, Best made is awesome if you can catch their stuff on sale.
Oh hey, it's the leather jacket that lead me to your channel. Then I bought it.
Woah! That’s what did it!
Love the techno intro
Been waiting to pull the trigger on that moto jacket
It’s a thing of glory!
Devium has a nice 6 wale corduroy jacket and an 8 wale jacket shirt.
The jacket shirts my fav.
That intro goes hard bro!
I believe the woolen wool you're talking about might also be called roving, I've seen that in reference to hand knitting yarns. Not sure though cause I don't really use it.
Just got the chord ojai as well. Love it- got more compliments on it in a week then any other jacket.. ever..
It’s a FIRE jacket!

O no…i LOVE PAYNTER! And their new denim type II is insane
If you want fall-themed Ravioli you gotta have butternut squad ravioli. That shit is fire
Done and done i appreciate the feedback
@@TheIronSnail Make sure its butternut squad, though. I definetely didn't mean butternut squash or anything.
2:33 the jacket is amazing
Agreed!!
Fall is the best time for Michael the Jacket Guy.
Michael the jacket guy agrees
What white T are you wearing in this? Looks great!
Come see me in CT next time! We can go hiking! Plus I’m much closer! 😉
Deal!
JACKET SEASON BABYYYY
WE BACK
Just found this channel. I watch you and Christian on the Theo and Harris channel, but had no idea you had your own. Very good stuff.
TY!
Nice video and your jackets are beautiful
You should do a jacket collection video some day, I would love that!
I have some AMAZING news for you then :)
My wife bought me a dehen shawl sweater and yeah, it’s bullet proof. I really hope they restock their wool hoodies soon. And the RGT jacket is pretty amazing I just haven’t had much chance to wear it.
AGREEEED they are amazing and hey RGT buddies!
Damn! First 15 seconds = 👍👍👍 and It’s shaping up to be another great video
AYYY TY!
Hi!
Is the Schott p243 discontinued ?
Those are cool jackets! But I missed a fleece jacket. I recently but one from pinqponq and I like it.
I’ll need to do a fleece one soon!
My kendo uniform looks like that sashiko jacket, when they get older they take that blue “sensei” look
Oh that’s so cool
Nice job. Keep up the good work.
Ty!!
I've been watching the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket for probably 7 years, but I'm afraid that my torso is too long to pull off a motorcycle style jacket. :( Sad.
Is your bag the one that Nick@Stridewise (It's gotta be his legal name by this point) roasted in his most recent bag review video?
