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)

*PART 2 IS COMING IN TWO WEEKS!* I'm reading all of your comments and tallying the most mentioned brands until Sunday. If you don't mind commenting on THIS comment and giving a thumbs up if your brand is already mentioned, that'd be awesome!
Note: I have 3 other t-shirt ranking videos but will include some if they are repeated/upvoted enough.
Interested on your thoughts on 3sixteen they seem to fit right into the higher end category of this video
@TheIronSnail duluth trading Men's Free Range Organic Cotton Crew Undershirt is a great plain white T. I also love their flannels. They make clothes for "bigger" guys, so I'm biased.
Going off this video it seems a slouchy/unstructured collar may not be your preference but def give James Perse crews a try.. just for how well they drape. Try em in any of their jersey knits (my pref) or their classic. Their crews have the best drape (and fit) of any cotton shirt I own, their non-dark colors fades beautifully, they look good used, new, true to size and oversized by one.
The only issues are that the hems & collar needs ironing for a neater look and certain stains can easily leave chemical discolorations. It doesn't have a vintage look you may be looking for but for a modern-style tee its worth trying out.
I haven't tried them myself but I'd love to see a review of the Samurai plain crew neck T shirt (the ones in the 2 pack)
Hanes
Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark...
Very nice, Very impressive !
Now let’s see Paul Allen’s white tee.
Ha! When did that nitwit get so tasteful?
Barry Alan strikes again
@@thec130side wrong Allen
Michael, my friend. We need a nipple test on these shirts. I'm tired of getting white shirts that can be seen through and no one talks about that enough 😔
If you're a chick that's a good thing. If you're a guy, your overweight.
vouching for this
Studio d artisan have a basic t that is great it has a tiny us flag on the hem. It’s probably the cheapest loopwheeled t I could find, doesn’t shrink much and no nipples
The bigger sizes will have side seams through
I have asked for this many times but Michael refuses to show his nipples on this channel.
Jokes on you, Michael. There actually is a bear in The Bear.
Like…right away!
That’s right Cousin!
well at least you know I wasn't lying about watching it...google did lie to me though
dont spoil the s.x scenes dude
I just wanted to write the exact same thing.
HELLO, I'M BACK! I have 2 things to say:
I did 3 other t-shirt videos before this one with different shirts!*
1. ruclips.net/video/kXHJQPFuLrE/видео.html&pp=ygUWdC1zaGlydCB0aGUgaXJvbiBzbmFpbA%3D%3D
2. ruclips.net/video/UMccuz0hgBQ/видео.html&pp=ygUWdC1zaGlydCB0aGUgaXJvbiBzbmFpbA%3D%3D
3. ruclips.net/video/C-OZAlpnkTk/видео.html&pp=ygUWdC1zaGlydCB0aGUgaXJvbiBzbmFpbA%3D%3D
I made a mistake with Whitesville pricing -- it's much cheaper if you get it directly from Japan!
Bronson didn't make the cut I take it? And have you ever checked out House of Blanks?
I literally watched all three just today and now you upload a 4th one. Hilarious.
I'm currently researching the perfect T
Sunspel? British brand…..Sea Island cotton etc?
What about Faherty, Onia, Madewell, or Gandy Wellwear?
Thoughts on Drake's London Hiking T-shirts?
Have I watched way too many best t-shirt videos? Yes. Will I stop watching best t-shirts videos? No.
So I don’t have time myself, give me the tldr of the best VALUE shirts please 🙏
So I don’t have time myself, give me the tldr of the best VALUE shirts please 🙏
@@Kitten_Party not in the video but athletic works t-shirts at Walmart are really great value. They're only $5.
You should make a second channel only reviewing white T-Shirts. 25minutes in deepth analysis, How they wrinkel with a jacket, how they work during summer, winter or when it rains. We need more whiter T-Shirt content!
Oh yeah, the wrinkling when wearing a jacket and the collar getting all ugly is annoying
Every video this man drops is fire Istg
Watching this knowing damn well im lazy and will stick to the uniqlo u shirt lol
facts. uniqlo u shirt is really just too good lol
Well, it is the perfect oversize T-shirt
I have six UNIQLO airism tees now because they’re just so good, so comfy and I love the fit haha
@@Fulforcehow’s the sizing? True or traditionally smaller Japanese sizes?
@@dongulio5539 because of the oversized fit I actually went down a size. I’m usually large with everything, but for these I went medium. The sleeves come down to just above my elbows and the body is just below my belt and not too baggy. Love the fit, I’d recommend sizing down one :-)
Just got a wonderlooper ultimate Pima tee in black and it’s crazy how nice it feels
I find your videos super entertaining to watch. You just have that natural personality that works for the camera. Keep up the great work, Michael!
Asket and Lady White Co shirts are some of the most long lasting, well-made, and good-looking shirts I have in my closet. Asket does run more form-fitting than Lady White. Definitely worth the price since both have now been close to 3 years of consistent wear now and they're as good as day 1.
Really in love with Asket. One special feature is the sizing system. You can boy every size in short, regular and long
I’m a big fan of the samurai medium weight 2-packs. Circular knit and they feel super soft, and a good collar
When you're doing fit/cut comparisons it might be helpful to include in the video your own measurements for sizing and fit
reference
Another comprehensive list Michael. Excellent work as always 👏🏼👏🏼
Regarding the diagonally ribbed collar of the Real McCoy's tee, the sewist in me guesses that they took their normal ribbing fabric and cut it on the bias (AKA they cut strips of ribbing at a 45-degree angle, rather than parallel or perpendicular to the roll of fabric). This is done a lot to make "edge binding" that will wrap around the raw edges of fabric (like on the inside of an unlined coat). Bias-cut binding stretches more than straight-cut binding, which helps it go around curves (like the neckline) smoothly, without buckling, waving, distorting, etc. Long story short: they probably did it so that the collar would stretch and lay flat against the wearer's neck.
As a sewist, which tshirt has the best construction?
Pure Blue Japan makes my favorite T-shirt fits and fades beautifully
Great to see Asket getting such a resounding review. I’m literally obsessed with these t-shirts.
Their oxford shirts are top notch too. Had a belt from them that only lasted a year however.
I also think it really helps that Carmy is ripped. You will never look as good in that shirt without the body, the good hair and the overall cinematography and lighting.
That's true of modeling and advertising for nearly all brands. I'd love to justify spending Sunspel money on the basics in my wardrobe, but I know I will never look as good as Daniel Craig in them 😢
self-defeatist attitude.
even sexier than muscles! lol
Great video. I've bought quite a few expensive t shirts in recent years- The Merz B, Whitesville, Studio D'Artisan loopwheel and UES Ramanyana... and i came to the same realisation that my favourite one is the Asket one that I've had for years! Going to stick to that brand going forward.
Just the video I need. All t-shirts I’m considering featured. You sold me on Asket. Thanks for the video
Have you heard of a Brazilian brand called Hering? I highly recommend their 'super cotton' t-shirts. It's their heavy cotton line. They also have cotton+linen mix
Basically the only t-shirt I wear is the Uniqlo Airism one. Feels super soft and light yet has some nice weight to it + it never seems to wrinkle. Comes in a lot of nice colors as well so my entire closet is filled with them
Personally I run super hot in the Airism stuff, it's not breathable at all in my experience. Much worse than the thick Uniqlo U cotton ones. Funny given that's the entire point. But they are soft and the colours don't fade
@@athmaidsame here. Their supima works much better.
I love them but they stain very easily and are very difficult to get stains out of
They stain so easily. I own one and it's full of stains and I don't even know where they came from. Washed it a million times with different treatments and it's still there. I hear others have the same issues. I absolutely love my Uniqlo crewnecks though (first one mentioned in the video)
@@SmokedHam444same, the stains suck
Great content as always. Please keep it up!
Man I have searched for reviews after after reviews. This is exactly what I was looking for
. Thank you
Been really liking both Reigning Champ, and Tomorrow's Laundry shirts. Definitely check those out
The review is much appreciated! I wish the info for each item stayed on screen longer though, preferably continuously while being shown, as there's quite a bit of info when going through this many items and the viewer's opinion might change from the first impression while you're presenting it and so having to rewind to view the info again is a bit tedious. Cheers!
I picked up the Hanes Beefy white blanks based off a recommendation of yours from a previous video. For the price, it’s my favorite.
Michael, how have you never reviewed the Warehouse & Co Slub Cotton tee? I first tried one on in the Santa Fe Standard & Strange, and the collar alone was enough to win my heart. Absolute love at first wear.
Yea!!!! I’m glad you liked the Lady White!! I’ve tried so many T’s and the Lady white just fits great! And you can wash that thing in hot water and dry it on the hottest setting, and it just won’t budge!( I’ve tried!) I will recommend and very nice tshirt you maybe haven’t heard of, Rowan. Was recommended by a friend, and is super soft and durable. But if you do get one, size down I think, as I’m normally a L and found the M fit best. Cheers buddy!
That dude, that in the morning pours a pure black coffee sentence made me LOL
I find after a year or so the armpits are always stained, and therefore, find it hard to go above Uniqlo supima or Spier and Mackay. I'll use the saved cash to buy other pieces that are more interesting.
Switch from antiperspirant to plain deodorant to avoid yellow staining
Armpit staining is caused by your own body or using non-natural antiperspirant/deodorant. It’s not inherently the fault of the shirt. I have multiple decades old white shirts with no stains.
Or use a spray antiperspirant and let it dry
@@genegray82 this and some oxyclean foam agent or something
@otterdonnelly9959 they never said it's the shirt's fault ૮꒰ྀི∩' ᵕ '∩꒱ྀིა just that they always have yellow stains lol maybe they only found 1 antiperspirant that smells good
Great video! You should make a video trying to find the best crewneck sweatshirt as well!
The Uniqlo t-shirts are awesome. So very soft and great looking. They do get some fuzz in the surface after many washes but the shape stays perfect.
I know exactly how you feel about the velva sheen t shirt. I purchased the pt Henley from mister freedom for $90 and it feels like upland cotton, your reference to how they made it back then makes a ton of sense though!
One of my favorite Ts ever was a uniqlo supima cotton white t /shirt. It just kept getting better and the fit became perfect over the years.
I heard that fit and quality is much worser than few years ago
@@maddoxthegreatcanecorso7150 and much more expensive than they were just a few years ago too.
We love to see a short-sleeve henley style t-shirt review. I've been on the hunt for weeks.
warmth, do these videos bring to me. Will be trying out the Asket for a new T-Shirt. Cheers
Sleeping on Target’s GoodFellow undershirts, 5 pack for $19 and fit and hold structure really well in the black. They start slightly long but are made to shrink to fit.
Bought so many different colours of Asket t shirts over the years and they have been phenomenal.
Warehouse & Co Lot.4601 slub tee is worth checking out. The texture of the cloth or ‘shadow border’ as the company calls it is sooo good. It’s the best tshirt imo.
Hate slub style personally
Really enjoyed this one. I'm an apprentice electrician and I'd love a comparison of heavyweight cotton long sleeve t-shirts. I wish Uniqlo made a long sleeve version of their 100% cotton crew neck
In my experience, my favourite is Lady White and second Uniqlo.
I find if I want a high quality shirt Lady White hits the spot and I know I'm getting quality. Uniqlo provides something that has a more modern and good fit, while for the price offering something comfy that doesn't look like cheap garbage.
ordered Asket t-shirts and it is in the mail now, my expectations just went through the roof after this video
Little inside baseball on the Bear shirt; the costume director is on record saying they use Whitesville in addition to Merz B. I have both and prefer the whitesville. The collar and sleeves are brilliant, and they just fit better after washes. Great in grey too, super stark heathering. And their blacks have nice contrast stitching. Good video!
Human Made t-shirts are incredible, could be worth considering for a pt 2
I’ve switched to linen T-shirts. They look and feel somehow more natural.
I value the way the neck is constructed above any other feature in a t-shirt. So many brands get it wrong.
Which brands are your go-to for linen t-shirts? Always found good ones difficult to find
@@jc1550 depends how much $$$I have to spend. Dress shirts:
Upper end to lower: I like Charvet, Eton, Todd Snyder, Charles Tyrwhitt.
T-shirts: Todd Snyder
MICHAEL IS BACK!!!
Samurai Cotton Project loopwheel tee's are worth checking out.
I'm going to check out your other T-shirt videos right now. But I honestly can't believe that Hanes beefy tea didn't make it to this list. It is I swear the best T-shirt I've ever owned for the price. It's nice heavy durable comes in pocketees I love it.
As someone with larger frame I love the cut of Alo t-shirts. There’s an extra panel on the shoulders that makes them hang so well on me.
Awesome. Been rocking the Uniqlo tees as my daily drivers for the past three years, super solid value! I love menswear but personally cant bring myself to drop a lot of money on tees.
New Medium seemed like a winner to me. Perfect fit and great texture
It's so funny seeing Velva-sheen as a quality menswear brand now. I'm from Cincinnati and my dad would always joke Velva-sheen was where guys would go to buy "factory seconds" of shirts. For example you could buy like P&G Bowling Team shirts that had an off label for like a few cents. His school would have contests on the most ridiculous.
Just finished re-watching your 'Selling all my watches for a Daytona video' - amazing to see the Pioneer is still on the wrist. Can't get enough of your videos!
It's funny that the Merz B shirt got so popular after the Bear. I got obsessed with owning a Merz B Henley after seeing Ryan Gosling wearing them in the movie Drive years ago. I could never pull the trigger on one though. One thing I have learned is these shirts look good because of the physique underneath them. If you get relatively jacked then pretty much everything looks good. Now I just need to dust off my old weights lol
"this only happens when I'm having guests" bro you're so funny instant sub
The most underrated shirts are the arpenteur pontus t-shirts, they're definitely different but I wish more people reviewed them because they are the only thing I wear in the summer.
Great video, Michael! I’ve always been partial to the Ministry of Supply Atlas Tees, but they may be too thin for this crowd.
the whitesville 2-pack are locally (California) available for $95 + tax. I actually found an ebay seller who had multiple sizes and colors, and was able to buy my large black 2-pack for under $71 including tax and shipping. At that price point, they are my absolute favorite all around shirt.
my favorite fitting tshirt (I'm a very slender build) is the Samurai jeans 2 pack shirts. (But, again, bought in black)
I do also think that it takes closer to 10 hot washes/hot dries to really see the full shrinkage of a (unwashed cotton) shirt. Both brands I mentioned are past that point, and the measurements (especially length) are now spot on perfect for me.
Great video this the type of oddly specific shit I live for. I only wore black t shirts 5 years and started wearing white too a year ago since moving to Florida. I landed on Uniqlo men’s airism oversized is my main go to only downside is it isnt 100% cotton after trying like 30 brands due to comfort fit and price since I swap em all after 3-4 washes. I’m def gonna try the Japanese Whitesville and Asket now.
Great vid, tried the BM T shirt had to return them because the collar goes real bacon after a few washes. Would love to see Outlier T shirts in the mix!
Fantastic video as always! You need to check out the plain Ts from Front General Store in Dumbo -- quite possibly the best bang for your buck if you're fortunate enough to live in NYC.
Really like the Andreas Gursky framed Picture. Greetings from Germany:)
Hey there, first time watching this channel. Greetings from germany. So let me give you some real german feedback now. This channel features by far the best hair strand wiggling I have ever seen. In my whole life. Ever. It's really mesmerizing. It made me already forget what this video is about. It also made me forget my name and my german identity, too.
Please rate this comment
... if you feel the same
... if it's weird in a wiggly good way
PS: Have a good day
I have no idea who makes them but the T-Shirts the Bundeswehr use are really nice, long torso so they stay tucked in even when working out, tight fit but super soft and durable.
I am that man with the black coffee in the ceramic mug talking about contrast and I feel called out
Ok
Must be your sign to get a Lady White Co shirt
@@asielromo3399 I was leaning more towards the merz
Hello Michael , Ralph Lauren makes a decent Tshirt- it’s the shirts with the multi colored logo . Bought a few , silky texture.
It's actually funny since a close friend of mine is the only child of Sally Fox! She is an absolute gem of a person and seeing some of her cotton raw in person was stunning! Really a true pioneer that deserves the attention she's getting!
Oh, and do a travel/performance pants video, there are dozens of those out there (lululemon, Duer, Outlier, Myles Apparel, Public Rec and many more.
The Uniqlo Crewneck shirt is rly nice but it’s a bit too thick for summer. The Uniqlo Supima is rly light and nice for summer but it doesn’t last long. The Uniqlo Oversized Airism is supposed to be breathable but I’ve noticed it holds the sweat and you’re sitting there with a visibly sweat through shirt.
I definitely need to check those uniqlo, and if you get to see this, mind sharing the strap you’re wearing the Pilot Pioneer on? Giving you a follow, I had no idea this channel existed, but I know your work from the watches channel.
Great video, You should test some American giant tees!
Asket has been one of my favorite brands for years. I got a few of their T-shirts 5 years ago and they have been holding up great. No discoloration, no holes, still fitting the same. The super long egyptian cotton is really nice and durable and Asket is super sustainable. Great all around the board
Can't recommend them enough!
LVC vintage pocket Tshirt is my favourite basic T, but their price has gone crazy, so that Velva Sheen one is my go-to now
I would review left field nyc loopwheel t shirts. I got a two pack a while ago and am tempted to get the hemp blend shirt.
Have you ever considered looking at a tshirt that people use as blanks like the ascolour shirts or the shakawear ones? I wonder how they'd stack up
I’ve always loved the Buzz Rickson government issue tee, can’t get enough of them for my wardrobe
I think you should include the Mister Freedom tees (both the Stanley and Skivvys) in your next video.
Nice job, Michael.
That Hamilton watch looks stunning on you!
My goal is to find a shirt with a modern or semi-modern cut made with jinbei fabric and maybe even vents.
While doing some back to school shopping for my daughter at Old Navy, I ended up coming across a nice V-neck. Works well as both a shirt and under shirt. Great quality, nice fit and perfect weight.....oh, and nicely priced.
You should include the Uniqlo airism cotton oversized crew neck t-shirt. Love the fit, quality and price tag:)
Have you looked at American Giant.. or the Flint and Tinder from Huckleberry? The F&T offers several weights in cotton and also a merino wool blend version. The wool is very nice
Try the “Regular Fit 9.3 oz Jersey Crewneck Tubular T-Shirt” by Time Catcher that you can buy through olderbest. It’s amazing value for money - £18 and it’s heavyweight, tubular knit and allegedly loopwheel but I’m not to sure if it actually is or not. I’ve had mine for about a year and it only gets better with each wash. For sizing I’m 6ft1 and 86kg and a L is great - but the customer service team is brilliant with advice as the sizes are primarily for a Chinese customer base
i own the asket one but and i adore it, the fit and finish is incredible
Very informative, thanks. Could you do a video on triblend tee shirts? Found some great ones from Bella Canvas on Amazon, curious what your thoughts on them are. Thanks!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Warehouse 4601 shirt or anything by them. Awesome video :)
I remember making a t-shirt at textile class in elementary school, it was my best shirt for years before I grew out of it. I would recommend trying to make your own shirt.
I didn’t really care much when it came out but that Hamilton Pilot looks great on you. I should probably try one on 🤔
For what it's worth- I strongly prefer the 1950s and 1920s tees from Merz b, I find that the fabrics and fits are both more appealing than the 215 shirt.
You should try the hemp cotton merz, the strike gold, flat head, iron heart, samurai!
Try the bronson MFG 'loopwheel' t-shirt, great value imo
Any pilling?
Michael, what’s the watch you’re wearing with the gray NATO strap?
I'm sure in quality, Wonder Looper, Lady White, Merz B etc... are topping the chart. But as a dude who works out semi regularly, these hug around my shoulder and chest too much. And If I go up in size(has to be XXL at this point), it's too long on me. I have to fall back on cropping my t-shirt if I don't want to tuck it in and these shirts are way too expensive to do that. So my solution?
Bronson 9oz T! It's on the cheap(if you think $35 for a single t-shirt is cheap) and I really don't feel guilty for cutting it!
New subscriber here. Another shirt to try is the James Perse short sleeve crew. Fits me perfectly, made in USA, and fit amazing. I’m your size and wear a size 1. They are expensive at $80.00 but they last me a few years.
I got sucked into the Gildan hype. They're so bad. They're nearly Kirkland long when you get it. After 5 washes, cold water gentle and low heat dry, they're nearly showing my stomach. Gildan: A good ten washes before you throw them in the trash.
Would love you to review the Buck Mason Field Spec shirts! Want to know how they compare to other heavyweight shirts offered
Same, it's my favorite shirt and is what I expected him to be wearing in this video
