*EDIT!!!! Thank you to a few eagle eyed size aficionados -- I made a typo on the size chart on the site. UPDATED NOW!!* Hello everyone! Just want to emphasize -- these are all amazing jackets, I really don't think you could go wrong either way. That being said...if you want to check out the Mammoth...you can go to theironsnail.us !
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.
@@TheIronSnail Are you looking into making additional colors in the future? (Like you did with your denim jacket?) If so... I'd vote for something like that beautiful green from the Filson. The Mammoth in that green would be an instant purchase from me! Awesome job with the Mammoth!
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
@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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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 RUclips videos. But I just want to say you should be so proud!
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!
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.
Nice! Love the single Filson Mac. Bought one for my mother and she had it lined with a cotton fabric. If you used a tight weave cotton on your jacket youcould get the benefits of wind and water resistence and be easier to wear for those who have wool allergies.
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!
I've seen those adidas gazelles in several videos so now I'm sure, between the excellent boots and the gazelles, this guy has killer taste in footwear. I'm binge-watching all these jacket and winter coat videos and I'm just amazed at the information packed into each one. Phenomenal content.
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!
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.
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 !
Thanks for plugging the vintage market, picked up the same Filson jacket in gray for $200. Even with a precautionary dry clean and potential alterations it’s a steal
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.
SIZING!! you forgot to talk about it!!! you need to avoid endless returns after purchase! you have a youtube channel to specifically discuss that aspect of it!!
@@TheIronSnail No worries brother, good looks on the jacket and good luck with all the sales. you made it just like i hoped you would, classic Mackinaw style.
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.)
I got McNair's heavyweight mountain shirt in May (2023) and LOVE IT! I'm very curious how McNair compares to the pieces featured in this video....especially WeatherWool.
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.
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.
Oh no I haven't -- never heard of that! I'll have to look into both of those Thanks for the heads up! I've seen and worn that coat (I think) it's absolutely amazing!
When you start to buy items that last a lifetime you no longer have to replace them. I'm at a point where its building up and hardly have to run any errands. True wealth is having everything/everyone you need and the time to be there. Can't wait for the next drop, cheers!
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
Watching this video now and knowing that it’s going to have a drop shoulder makes me so excited! The reason why why I couldn’t pull the trigger on that last was that the shoulder measurements wouldn’t fit me
Hey Michael, I have a Woolrich Mac Jacket and similar LL Bean jacket that I could send to you if you wanted to do a video on them. I actually almost bought that same Woolrich Mac with the patch, and I hope it eventually shows up for you!
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.
My job cut my hours just in time for the holidays. I'd be on this thing so fast if not for that. All the best from the boring part of NY and happy holidays, Michael!
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?
On that note, how do you like the filson packer? After weatherwool ran out of black peacoats and lynx AJJs this winter, I've been eyeballing filson packers and they just resupplied
@@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!
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 👍🏻
So I looked on poshmark for the Mammouth - no luck . . . in fact, no Iron Snail stuff at all, which I figure means that people like the stuff and keep it. Ended up on your site and bought a fish pin. That is all. I'll let you know if more comes up.
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.
I love how much you feature made in America and Europe please keep it up! Also how DARE you show me a sold out sign when I wish to purchase your jacket? Would love to see it in different colors like a off cream, grey and perhaps a muted green?
6'0" and around 160 pounds, stuck between ordering medium and large. Medium seems like it'd be a better fit except the arm length seems like it might be a tad short.
Oooh yes you're right in between...I may even say go large but I'm only saying that because virtually all returns we get are people that want to size up one!
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'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.
I literally just got the Stapleton single mack from Filson. Not 2 weeks later you drop this...Dammit. I want it, but you now also mention a special edition one! Here's what I'll do. I'm going to wait and use my filson why I do (it's cold). When the special edition drops I'm going to buy it immediately, and then Ebay my filson. I also have a hooded sweatshirt from Weatherwool, if this special edition fills both rolls I'll just get rid of the weatherwool and filson, which will more than cover the cost of the special mammoth (I hope). I will own that jacket. I got my bell notification on, and I WILL NOT miss the special edition pre-order. What a design! Any idea on WHEN the special will drop?
Also THANK YOU for adding sizes for larger people! Your denim jackets never went to my size and these do! I'm and XL in the mammoth sizing and you even have a size larger!
I have a Filson Double Mackinaw, a Woolrich Double Mackinaw, and a Woolrich Hunt Coat. The Woolrich Hunt Coat weighs the most, and is the warmest, even though it's only one layer of wool, with a cotton lining. The Woolrich Double Mackinaw is the lightest, but it's in mint condition from the 80s. The hunt Coat was NOS. The Filson is also from the 80s, but has a couple little moth marks. The Mammoth looks fantastic. Maybe next winter. Need to loose a few pounds before I buy a $600 coat. My biggest complaint about the double Macs is wind penetration. It still gets through. Looks like you addressed that. Was considering a Schott Pea Coat. Double Breasted, 34 oz Melton shell plus insulation and lining. I had an original WWII version in the 70s. It was a tank.
Do yourself a favor and get anything by weatherwool. No more itch. Finest wool out there. Great fledgling company. The only thing that sucks is they run out of stock pretty fast. I have the navy Schott peacoat because Weatherwool doesn’t do navy. I have to weatherwool black peacoat. It’s so great.
@@bfettrules1239 Do you own one? How is it against wind penetration? That's my only complain about what I have. If it's too cold and windy it's Carhartt Arctics. The duck really blocks the wind.
@@Old_Sailor85 I find that Weatherwool blocks the wind quite well. I own the CPO jack shirt, the AAJ, and their peacoat. Best investments ever. I have a couple of their accessories too. I have the wool cap and scarf. Scarf is very wide so it can be a little cumbersome but will definitely get the job done. Their cap is freaking amazing. Snug but not tight. You unfold the brim to make it loose fitting if that’s your thing.
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!!
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?
I’m sold on the mammoth. But my body type is strange if you have a place I try this on. But in the meantime I’m hunting for a green Filson double mackinaw in a large 😂
Amazing jacket, too bad I missed out on it while converting inches to cm lol Next time I'll try to do this earlier. I'm honestly very glad that it got sold out so quick. This means I have to look forward for future runs and maybe even some changes! I saw someone asking for longer variants and that could be interesting.
Kinda bummed I didn't snag one but yeah, maybe the future versions will have revisions and alterations to make these more enticing for me! A long version would be awesome!
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.
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?
I would love to see a fully-biodegradable version of the Mammoth! The nylon internal cuffs are a turnoff for me, but the rest of the jacket looks awesome. Maybe they could be worsted wool, like how Dehen 1920 does it.
Best value for money! Wish I could get one, but unfortunately I just can’t justify spending $500 on a jacket, even if it is cheaper/better than the others. Any recommendations for low budget wool outerwear? Big Bill is a brand I’ve been looking into
I love that based on your experience you made the best wool jacket at the best possible price. If the jacket works as you describe it you might be onto something there, congrats! Do you ship the jacket outside of the US? I want one but I’m in spain now.
Will there be another run of the mammoth special edition???? I just missed it seeing your video today and was so impressed my wife wanted to to get one for me for the holidays!!
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’m sad you didn’t get the vintage woolrich. I have one in that bright red, it’s 4.4 lbs. I am wanting one of these but man, I have one that would probably cost $750 now anyway. That tan and brown speckled one is just… too cool though.
Jacket looks amazing! But if it's indeed 3lb 12oz as you said and my Filson packer is close to 7lb i think the packer will be a hefty amount warmer. Or am i missing something?
I think the packer would be warmer! It’s a full double Mac that’s longer with a liner AND that huge shearling collar - the double mac is heavier than the Mammoth but the liner makes it feel like it’s warmer (could just be my own bias, mistake etc.) The packer is heavier without the collar most definitely but I’m assuming that’s the bulk of the added weight too
@@TheIronSnail Thanks for the answer and the honesty! Love you and your channel mate! I would still try to get the special edition but i read you will be making 5 so the chances are super slim to get one! That is 5 in every size or 5 in total? Enjoy the holidays and congratz on your amazing jacket! I am just as addicted to quality clothing as you are and i love what you are doing to the industry!

Will it be back in stock anytime soon?

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!
@@cameronwuethrich3560 those were exactly my guesses too!
For what it's worth, I like the style of the mammoth the most out of all the jackets you demonstrated today. Classy!
That is my favorite jacket…so great. You deserve the moon!!! Thanks for all of this content.
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 👍🏻
So I looked on poshmark for the Mammouth - no luck . . . in fact, no Iron Snail stuff at all, which I figure means that people like the stuff and keep it. Ended up on your site and bought a fish pin.
That is all. I'll let you know if more comes up.
I’m holding out for the special edition! Love the attention to detail!
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.
Hooy cow! Good video! I loved you styling the jackets
I love how much you feature made in America and Europe please keep it up! Also how DARE you show me a sold out sign when I wish to purchase your jacket? Would love to see it in different colors like a off cream, grey and perhaps a muted green?
that back pocket on the filson blew my mind - you: "not fashionable though" - me at the exact same time, "that's fucking cool!"
6'0" and around 160 pounds, stuck between ordering medium and large. Medium seems like it'd be a better fit except the arm length seems like it might be a tad short.
Oooh yes you're right in between...I may even say go large but I'm only saying that because virtually all returns we get are people that want to size up one!
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'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.
I’ve never been this interested in jackets before. Got me hook, line, and sinker.
Congrats sir, looks amazing. Glad America has you
I literally just got the Stapleton single mack from Filson. Not 2 weeks later you drop this...Dammit. I want it, but you now also mention a special edition one! Here's what I'll do. I'm going to wait and use my filson why I do (it's cold). When the special edition drops I'm going to buy it immediately, and then Ebay my filson. I also have a hooded sweatshirt from Weatherwool, if this special edition fills both rolls I'll just get rid of the weatherwool and filson, which will more than cover the cost of the special mammoth (I hope).
I will own that jacket. I got my bell notification on, and I WILL NOT miss the special edition pre-order. What a design! Any idea on WHEN the special will drop?
Also THANK YOU for adding sizes for larger people! Your denim jackets never went to my size and these do! I'm and XL in the mammoth sizing and you even have a size larger!
Hi, the Mammoth looks very good, like the color and functions included !!!
congrats on the mammoth! Looks like a greta jacket. Wish the shoulder sizing was bigger on the larger sizes
Well done. The coat looks amazing.
The Mammoth was even more impressive than i expected. Very cool
I have a Filson Double Mackinaw, a Woolrich Double Mackinaw, and a Woolrich Hunt Coat. The Woolrich Hunt Coat weighs the most, and is the warmest, even though it's only one layer of wool, with a cotton lining.
The Woolrich Double Mackinaw is the lightest, but it's in mint condition from the 80s. The hunt Coat was NOS. The Filson is also from the 80s, but has a couple little moth marks.
The Mammoth looks fantastic. Maybe next winter. Need to loose a few pounds before I buy a $600 coat.
My biggest complaint about the double Macs is wind penetration. It still gets through. Looks like you addressed that.
Was considering a Schott Pea Coat. Double Breasted, 34 oz Melton shell plus insulation and lining. I had an original WWII version in the 70s. It was a tank.
Do yourself a favor and get anything by weatherwool. No more itch. Finest wool out there. Great fledgling company. The only thing that sucks is they run out of stock pretty fast. I have the navy Schott peacoat because Weatherwool doesn’t do navy. I have to weatherwool black peacoat. It’s so great.
@@bfettrules1239 Do you own one? How is it against wind penetration? That's my only complain about what I have. If it's too cold and windy it's Carhartt Arctics. The duck really blocks the wind.
@@Old_Sailor85 I find that Weatherwool blocks the wind quite well. I own the CPO jack shirt, the AAJ, and their peacoat. Best investments ever. I have a couple of their accessories too. I have the wool cap and scarf. Scarf is very wide so it can be a little cumbersome but will definitely get the job done. Their cap is freaking amazing. Snug but not tight. You unfold the brim to make it loose fitting if that’s your thing.
I love the mammoth colour and pattern, very cool.
Have you looked at the Miklagaard Anoraks?
Those look awesome
Not gonna be able to pick up this release, hopefully more to come in the future, sweet looking jacket.
Had an issue saying it wouldnt deliver to my address but was lucky enough to be able to snag one anyway🔥
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 gonna follow your advice in the video and just exchange it if I need to. The allure of Scottish wool seems too good to pass up
The Mammoth jacket makes me wish I wasn’t allergic to wool. Looks great! Well done.
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?
Great job! Your jacket looks amazing! Does it have hand warmer pockets? Merry Christmas!
Any estimated timeframe for when the special edition version goes on sale?
In earlier comments he said late spring, about two months after picking up the wool in europe (around February)
Super-splendid, and what, pray tell, is the mark and make of the work jacket from the intro, a bi-swing back canvas work jacket, old Carhartt?
I’m sold on the mammoth.
But my body type is strange if you have a place I try this on.
But in the meantime I’m hunting for a green Filson double mackinaw in a large 😂
Please, I must know what white sweater you were wearing I beg of you!?
Love the content, please keep it up :)
So I didn't catch the pre-order. When will they be available next? And will the price be the same?
Hugh Jackman jr. wolverines hairdo. Cool! Good contents. Keep it up!👍
You should've included paul & shark! Love the video.
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.❤
Amazing jacket, too bad I missed out on it while converting inches to cm lol
Next time I'll try to do this earlier. I'm honestly very glad that it got sold out so quick. This means I have to look forward for future runs and maybe even some changes! I saw someone asking for longer variants and that could be interesting.
Kinda bummed I didn't snag one but yeah, maybe the future versions will have revisions and alterations to make these more enticing for me! A long version would be awesome!
Sick VFX shots! MAMMOTH
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.
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?
I would love to see a fully-biodegradable version of the Mammoth! The nylon internal cuffs are a turnoff for me, but the rest of the jacket looks awesome. Maybe they could be worsted wool, like how Dehen 1920 does it.
That's not a map pocket back there , its a game pocket for hunters
Best value for money! Wish I could get one, but unfortunately I just can’t justify spending $500 on a jacket, even if it is cheaper/better than the others. Any recommendations for low budget wool outerwear? Big Bill is a brand I’ve been looking into
I dont know you personally, but im proud
Greetings. Im watching You from Poland. Great video's. Much knowledge. 💪🇵🇱
I love that based on your experience you made the best wool jacket at the best possible price. If the jacket works as you describe it you might be onto something there, congrats! Do you ship the jacket outside of the US? I want one but I’m in spain now.
Thank you!! We ship anywhere!
Hi Michael. Of topic, but what brand and model is your bagpack?
Will there be another run of the mammoth special edition???? I just missed it seeing your video today and was so impressed my wife wanted to to get one for me for the holidays!!
It would be ideal for the winters in NYC and so shocked I missed seeing your blog post by just a few days😮😮
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’m sad you didn’t get the vintage woolrich. I have one in that bright red, it’s 4.4 lbs.
I am wanting one of these but man, I have one that would probably cost $750 now anyway. That tan and brown speckled one is just… too cool though.
Hey man great video. What brass key clip is that? Looks really cool.
Already have a filson, but man that mammoth is tempting
Your website repeatedly rejected my shipping address… I was not able to complete checkout and had to watch them sell out 😭
Also happened to me but I switched to PayPal and it went through.
I tried, but they were already sold out 😤
Jacket looks amazing! But if it's indeed 3lb 12oz as you said and my Filson packer is close to 7lb i think the packer will be a hefty amount warmer. Or am i missing something?
I think the packer would be warmer! It’s a full double Mac that’s longer with a liner AND that huge shearling collar - the double mac is heavier than the Mammoth but the liner makes it feel like it’s warmer (could just be my own bias, mistake etc.)
The packer is heavier without the collar most definitely but I’m assuming that’s the bulk of the added weight too
@@TheIronSnail Thanks for the answer and the honesty! Love you and your channel mate! I would still try to get the special edition but i read you will be making 5 so the chances are super slim to get one! That is 5 in every size or 5 in total? Enjoy the holidays and congratz on your amazing jacket! I am just as addicted to quality clothing as you are and i love what you are doing to the industry!
@@dimi7055 thank you so much!! Five total sadly! The wool is 4x more expensive so I had to keep it EXTREMELY limited for now!
