Jackets in this video:
- Woolrich Hunting Jacket (from the 40's, there are some amazing guides online)
- Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser
- Duckworth Snowcrest Shirt Jacket
- WeatherWool Al's Anorak
- The Iron Snail Mammoth Jacket
What's the difference between Filson and WeatherWool? Who makes the best wool jacket? How does Duckworth stack up against WeatherWool? Is merino wool any good? Is merino wool strong? How can you possible soften scratchy itchy wool? What's the best wool jacket?! MERINO!? Okay...that's enough outta me. I get started and I can't stop. Merino wool.
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)

Wow, you really hit it out of the park with the Mammoth. It looks absolutely gorgeous, perfectly cut, great design choices, and looks to be extremely functional and top quality. Congratulation and best of luck, and thanks for the belly laugh when you introduced it so humbly in the vid.

I’ve never been more excited for a jacket I’ve been waiting ever since it was announced. It’s so refreshing to see someone actually care about clothing again. Unless it’s like a novelty hoodie or shirt from a place I’m visiting I done even buy new clothing anymore it’s almost strictly vintage or second hand because I know it’s gonna fall apart on me I don’t even need something this over built I’m just happy it exists and I wanna be a part of this thing you’re doing
Very impressive. Gorgeous, smartly put together.
the tale of the iron snail grows! love seeing your growth
So cool to feel Michael's excitement and passion in the video.
I am so happy for you Michael! Keep at it boi!❤
Congrats! It’s a beautiful jacket. Amazing video as always too.
Well done. The coat looks amazing.
Hooy cow! Good video! I loved you styling the jackets
The mammoth is an absolute beast of a jacket and i love it. Im a poor cook , whos obsessed with wool. Been following your journey for a while and cant wait to see what the future has in store !
Beautiful jacket! I'll be honest, I was rather on-the-fence when you first announced you'd be making a jacket - but you've really knocked my expectations out of the park. Fantastic job implementing all of your knowledge into one complete garment x
Heck yes! Finally a beefy good looking wool coat with a lining and storm cuffs. For the price this is easy the highest value jacket on the Market. Congrats on crushing it Michael. Love your content.
Man I would love to get one for myself but sadly I haven't got much use for it now that I moved back to Mexico. I'll stay tuned for whatever clothes more suited for warmer weather you release bc this is probably the best value for money piece of clothing i've ever seen. Truly your magnum opus, Mr. Snail. Keep the good work up and Merry Christmas.
Your wool jacket is amazing! I won’t be able to get the first release but it’s definitely worth every penny. Incredible wool construction and materials overall. I had the opportunity to visit Tagua artisans in Ecuador and talk to some of them so I know those buttons are as premium as they get. Thank you for taking the time to create such amazing garments. I look forward to seeing your brand grow and flourish.
Im buying the Mammoth as soon as you re-release. Great video, good humor and plenty of organized information. I hope you’ll be able to add new colorways soon!
Michael, the Mammoth jacket looks amazing! Incredible function and looks all in one. I can't believe it can make a person fly, that's awesome! I actually lol'ed at that. I would love to have one, but I live in Florida and would never have to wear it. If I was up north I would buy one in a second! BTW, your video's are always informative and entertaining, I've been watching for a while now, thanks!
The Mammoth looks amazing! Can’t wait to see that special edition when it’s ready.
I’m holding out for the special edition! Love the attention to detail!
Happy with my current wool jackets but boy is it so tempting to preorder! I'm much more intrigued by wool over denim and maybe down the line I hope the Mammoth stays in stock continuously!
9:53.. magical moment. Bummed the Mammoth is sold out! It's a beautiful beast. Well done Michael, I hope to purchase one! Cheers, Merry Christmas!
this jacket literally has every single thing I can ask for. the fabric pattern also looks amazing and the amount of energy and thought you put into this is absolutely crazy. thank you for the iron snail!

@TheIronSnail Awesome jacket! I noticed the Mammoth sold out - I'm not surprised (also congrats!). I hope there will be more soon and perhaps a solid black or charcoal (I know, I'm boring). The fact that you list all of the relevant measurements is so rare and refreshing. The selling point for me is the wool interior. So many overcoats say 100% wool then have plastic on the inside. Some of my vintage wool garments look fantastic on the outside but the plastic fibers on the inside are oxidized and breaking. It's awesome that you made something thoroughly great!
That is my favorite jacket…so great. You deserve the moon!!! Thanks for all of this content.
Glad to see the WeatherWool included in the list, the Mammoth looks great best of luck Mike.
This is epic mammoth! Love this design and colorway. Well done Michael. $550 is definitely a great price pound for pound.
Was traveling for the holidays and missed the drop! Need a restock!!
For what it's worth, I like the style of the mammoth the most out of all the jackets you demonstrated today. Classy!
I have owned single,double and whipcord filson Mackinaw jackets, vintage Woolrich and a lot of small random vintage brands wool jackets and my favorite is Vintage LL Bean wool from the 70s-80s. Insane value.
I love the mammoth colour and pattern, very cool.
Hi, the Mammoth looks very good, like the color and functions included !!!
Congrats sir, looks amazing. Glad America has you
always great to see more made in usa options! and it looks great too. im waiting on a weatherwool lynx shirtjac currently. maybe a mammoth would make a good 2nd choice for when the lynx may be the wrong color for an event.
😂😂😂 this is the funniest most tastefully put together fashion channel
Congrats on selling out, the piece looks phenomenal! Any plans on doing another run of The Mammoth?
Sick VFX shots! MAMMOTH
Jacket looks amazing! Love the clip addition and pocket layout. Know its not the style but if it had a zip in nylon or attachable hood for extra id be all over it.
Yup gonna need another run of the Mammoth! XXL please! Maybe a longer pre order window as well!!
This has been one of the coolest craziest things to watch grow over time. I don’t know you at all. I don’t comment on KZread videos. But I just want to say you should be so proud!

Yep, gonna need that special edition.
wow.. sold out while I was in the cart.. congratulations from Switzerland!! will shoot for the S.E. now
I'm a huge wool fan. I have a closet full of Filson and Woolrich and it's rare that I wear anything other than wool. When you mentioned you were going to announce your jacket along with the others as one of the greatests jackets, I felt like it was a shameless marketing stunt. After seeing all the details of the Mammoth though, I'm really impressed. And your launch into space made me completely lose it. So I'm good with the marketing stunt and happy I saw it. I'm going to buy a Mammoth as soon as they're available. As a large guy, I hope the 2xl fits. Most excited to see how this handles northern Michigan winter camping. Also interesting to note that what you're doing seems to align with how I layer. On top of my base layers, I like to layer a worsted long sleeve shirt, a wool sweater and finally the wool jacket. All the different kinds of knit patterns really help deal with wind while still remaining breathable. While not a huge deal in the woods, the beaches in the winter out here get really crazy wind.
The Mammoth was even more impressive than i expected. Very cool
Ok yeah you had the Norman Bates look going on I see what your saying. Lol - seriously, love your content. Thanks for all the research and detail in your reviews and the editing and production 👍🏻
Jacket looks amazing man, congrats!
Literally added one to my basket and by the time I wrote the size in the requirement section they sold out, over site on your part that it couldn’t be held atleast until the size was added
Looks amazing! Any chance there will be a duffel/long coat build the same way? Would love to have a longer version!
Damn that jacket looks pretty good actually. I live in northern NSW so it never will get cold enough to justify a double layered wool jacket but if I was still living in BC I would buy. Good stuff mate.
I am so excited about this, dang.
Greetings. Im watching You from Poland. Great video's. Much knowledge. 💪🇵🇱
Good video - and the Mammoth looks great. 👌🏻 As an alternative to the Duckworth, I’d take a look at McNair Mountain Shirts. I’m very pleased with mine, and it works great in the Norwegian winters. And I got it made-to-measure for £375 - handmade in the UK! (Sometimes I layer a Filson wool vest underneath.)

How does it stand up to the winters in Norway? I live in Innlandet, and here it can become quite cold🥶 I wanted to buy the Mammoth, but it wouldn't ship to my location. Right now I'm looking at vintage Filson mackinaws on Ebay, but the McNair could be an option if I can use it as an outer layer in the winter. What do you think?

@@Sondre_Friis_Nyberg I live in Oslo, which is less cold (though -20 now!) - and it’s worked great! Obviously better with layering, so size accordingly. My only gripe, is the lack of hand-warming pockets. Maybe ask if they can make some..? 🙃 I usually wear a Northern Playground T-shirt closest to my body, then a shirt or sweater (wool if really cold) and then the McNair. And it’s never been too cold.
That's a mighty fine looking jacket!
Not gonna be able to pick up this release, hopefully more to come in the future, sweet looking jacket.
This is such a cool channel
Great job! Your jacket looks amazing! Does it have hand warmer pockets? Merry Christmas!
congrats on the mammoth! Looks like a greta jacket. Wish the shoulder sizing was bigger on the larger sizes
Great video I only ever buy army surplus
The Mammoth jacket makes me wish I wasn’t allergic to wool. Looks great! Well done.
living in scotland myself, im really looking forward to the special edition mammoth!
Wish I lived somewhwere cold enough for this. Looks nice.
I need a bigger wallet. Nice over view my man! Nice work on your mammoth jacket
I just had a real shitty month an had to drop an unexpected 3k on my car after an unexpected accident. I’m bummed I can’t snag a Mammoth, but just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your content man. Fingers crossed I can snag one in the very near future.
Mammoth loos great!!! Congratulations!
Please, I must know what white sweater you were wearing I beg of you!? Love the content, please keep it up :)
that coat looks dope man. always impressed with what you put out. quality not quantity. ill be taking a look at your jacket on your site. love the color and pattern. i have the weatherwool cpo jacket and it is unbelievably warm with how thin and light it is.
Hey man great video. What brass key clip is that? Looks really cool.
Oh man, I’m so torn now. The Mammoth does offer a lot of value in it at that price, but now I feel like I should wait for the special edition one… super stoked for you either way and can’t wait to pick one up!!

I'm looking forward to you making a shirt-jacket with decent pockets. It's not cold enough where i live to wear your heavy jacket. I live in a high elevation rain forest in Hawaii, so I wear wool most of the time. If you made a shirt jacket I'd be saving up for it right now.
Love it! Wish it came in XS though.

Darn it...for what it's worth I'm an XS in Filson and a S in Mammoth!
Is this a one time drop? I love it but unfortunately won’t be able to get one this winter. Also would you ever consider dropping it in XS? I’m a short guy (5’4”) and would love to have it fit the way I want. Congrats you knocked it out of the park.
I love your videos🤩. May I ask what kind of shoes you wear? I need some for my trip to Canada. Merry Christmas and greetings from Germany.❤
Cool slowmos 🤙🏻
What a bad time to be broke.😤 Great looking jacket, would love to get one, one day.😂
Had an issue saying it wouldnt deliver to my address but was lucky enough to be able to snag one anyway🔥
I dont know you personally, but im proud
Love the Mammoth, how does it stack up against Canadian winters?
Hugh Jackman jr. wolverines hairdo. Cool! Good contents. Keep it up!👍
Hi Michael! Any tips on how to take the measurements, specifically the sleeve? Does thickness of material matter? (like - should we measure a similar-weight jacket) - looks like I'll be between an XL and a L, I sent an email with some more detailed questions. (p.s. - jacket looks amazing!)
Good think i just spent every penny of my savings on Christmas gifts. Now i gotta return them all and say i was robbed so i can live inside a mammoth. And i immediately thought of the beginning of Star Wars episode... V? When they keep warm inside of that animal they cut open... they didn't even keep the hide. What where they doing?
Have you messed with the Silent Predator at all? It’s 22oz 90%wool 10% cotton made by Pendleton. You can also get it 4oz wool fiberfill insulation. It’s got a great price. Autumn Woods outfitter, Asbell, and Big Bill are also other affordable that are intriguing. A Weatherwool double Maine coat is absolutely my dream cold weather hunting coat.

This thing really IS beefy. And the lining feels phenomenal. Kinda hope the last cold snap isn't done 😂 Can't believe you cut the pockets, though! (Just kidding, I don't enjoy cutting my pockets so it's a plus for me) 😂
please make more jackets if possible.... both wool and denim. PLEASE
So I didn't catch the pre-order. When will they be available next? And will the price be the same?

I've been wearing a 1940s Filson forestry cruiser (worsted wool) under a regular Filson Mackinaw and I it's an amazing combo. I really want to give the Mammoth a try and see how it stacks up. Eta on a restock?
Any chance of more colorways? I love the concept but want black. Thanks!
The Mammoth looks truly incredible, and this is coming from someone who owns both a Filson Packer Coat and a WeatherWool coat. You can tell that the Mammoth was designed by a true enthusiast because every little detail that only an obsessive enthusiast would think of is covered. And for $550?! I really thought it was going to be more. Cannot wait to own both versions! P.S. - can you ID the sweaters you were wearing?

@@ElDinosaurioGigante If you can get past the price, it's the flagship Filson coat for a reason. The stitching is impeccable, it's unsurprisingly very warm (especially with the collar turned up), and it has some cool history to it. That said, this year seems to be the last year that it will be made in Seattle so some of that history is disappearing, and it can look very costume-y (think Red Dead Redemption cosplay) IMO in the louder plaids. The 2022 model with the darker shearling and the charcoal chalk stripe wool is what I have and I really enjoy it. Last year Filson marked them down to like 30% off, at that price I think it's far more reasonable.

Hey I might have an ID on the sweaters! Both j crew and LL bean make versions of the roll neck waffle-y one (I want to say his was the LL Bean version) and I think the cream colored one is the 'heritage cotton crewneck' sweater from j crew. Could be wrong but I think I'm at least pretty close!

So Mike, can you get these wool coats in a style that looks like a typical Mackinaw, ( you know..... the red and black tartan jackets....) ????
Could use some more colorways in the Mammoth Woolen jacket.
Maybe you can make an video about flannels :)
My favorite wool jacket is an old school Woolrich. I wear it a lot and I slept in it again last night. I have a heavy Filson jacket with tiny pockets that i only wear once a year. I have a Filson Jac-Shirt with pockets that won't button with a pack of cigarettes in them. I have a Filson vest with pockets that dump my phones on the ground everytime I forget how useless they are. I have a Filson hat with seams sewn upside down so water keeps my head wet on rainy days. I have Filson shoes that are as heavy as boots. "Might as well have the best," but what does that have to do with Filson?
