Ah, Japanese denim. A very cool and subtle upgrade to your wardrobe. Well, raw denim jeans are cool but...what about heavy raw denim? And to that I say, what about extremely heavy denim?! And TO THAT I SAY WHAT ABOUT RECORD BREAKING, KNEE SNAPPING, IMPOSSIBLY HEAVY WEIGHT DENIM?!!?!?
Thank you to Strike Gold for making some insane jeans! klaxon-store.com/en/collectio...

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) - Навчання та стиль
hello everyone -- HAPPY THURSDAY! Hope your day is going well and all that jazz
Great video!! I had no idea jeans got that crazy in weight 👍🏻
I'm spending today in bed. Looking at jeans I wish I could buy. Hopefully I return to work soon.
These are actually very useful. As a Londoner you can't understimate the value of stabproof clothing. If you fancy a stroll down the street and a highwayman tries to stab your pantaloons, you will be completely safe
I'm surprised there's not more of a market for stab resistant streetwear.
For this reason Sadiq Khan has banned them because, according to him, London has never been safer and crime doesn’t exist.
You guys should just ban knives over there.
Same for Basel in Switzerland
@@joshii32what? Basel?😂😂
Here is a tip. Im 57 and when I was a kid/teenager all jeans came in the raw stiff version the gap was nowhere I knew of in nyc. So, we would simple sleep in our jeans and usually that overnight session would loosen the up enough to make them wearable until you could brea them in.
I remember that. It was crazy
Reminds me of the bathtub method for skinny jeans
The best thing about those jeans was that they were sturdy and resistant. Jeans today rip and tear like The Wife's panty hose.
We aren't allowed to take the same kinds of narcotics y'all had that would let us sleep through getting your jibblies caught in a fold of stiff jeans.
Then mom would hang them out to dry and they'd be as stiff as new again. For a few weeks anyway. About the same age. I remember when rich kids in the 70s and 80s started getting pre shrunk and then pre faded jeans, way before "distressed". I wanted some pre anything jeans so bad, but out where we lived jeans got a workout. I was wearing steel toed Red Wings by the time I was 8, driving a 10 ton wheat truck into town alone by 12 y/o, and throwing square bales to the top of a semi trailer when I was 17. Levies' were expensive and we weren't rich. Most of us kids had like 2 pr at a time and 1 pair for church...that would be next years work jeans. I needed every good day I could squeeze out of them. So no pre anything for us kids. They would be faded bone white with knees blown out in less than a year but super comfortable...only then we weren't allowed to wear'em to school unless mom patched the knees!! Oh hell no! I'd have to play hooky from embarrassment!
Todays best Levies' wouldn't last a month.
2 leather patches LMFAO
I burst out laughing seeing how fat that patch was.😂
I laughed even more when his gf saw it “why is it so thick” “you’ve never said that to me before” 😂😂😂
I wear a lot of heavy denim. When I deal with button holes in jeans or jackets that are to tight I do a simple fix. There is a large sharpie which size is perfect to stretch out button holes. Just push through slowly and twist slightly back and forth but keep checking how much your stretch the hole often to not overstretch it. Worked great with 33oz jeans and my heaviest jacket at 25oz.
25oz jacket? amazing!
It's from SoSo clothing. Ordered there 25oz Taishoku denim and designed a really simple jacket for myself. No upper pockets and just simple side ones. Dark threads with dark hardware. Very minimalistic except for how thick it is. Still breaking it in! It's first winter is coming up.
I haven't worn jeans in a solid 4 years now so I don't know why I clicked this video, but I sure did enjoy it.
What do you wear?
@@saturn7835probably sweats and shorts
@@saturn7835 Comfortable and nice looking trousers.
@@saturn7835 cargo pants for sure
Ditto, I hate jeans but they used to be all I wear! Haha
I live in hilbilly country, and these guys love their Wranglers. They swear by them all day from construction work to farm work. For the budget minded well dressed gentleman, its hard to go wrong with Wrangler jeans, even though Im personally a Levis fan.
My dad wears wranglers so I could never date a man who wears wranglers lol
Wranglers are good jeans.
Wranglers are well made, but I cannot wear them w/o suspenders. They just won't stay up, no matter how tight the belt.
I have to wear some Levis, or Carharts. The patterns have changed, but the marketing slogans give no hint to help us. Oh well,
they'll change again, and fit a different set of folks.
As a kid, growing up skateboarding, Levis 501s were the choice. As many of you know, skateboarding is hard on shoes, mainly the side of yer front foot, from ollieing. We would take the tag of the waist band, at that time it was still heavy leather. We'd punch a few holes for shoelaces and lace it onto our shoe where it just hung and protected your shoe.
You must've been wearing Lee's because Levi stopped using leather in like the 50's or 60's, my ass you were skateboarding that long ago.
That's the beauty of raw denim. Weight isn't the end all, the fabric is. Currently relaxing in my 21oz Iron Heart jeans. They are a PAIN when brand new/just washed, but soften up very nicely as they break. After wearing heavy denim regularly, regular jeans feel like pajamas.
As a motorcycle rider, I found this EXTREMELY helpful. Thanks.
So did you buy one of them?
Check out Iron Heart Denim, then. Started by a rider and focuses on tough fabrics. I've got a pair of their 21oz jeans and they're SUPER comfortable.
That's why I'm here as well 😂
No offense, I've been riding motorcycles for 12 years and can't recommend wearing jeans at all. If you have an accident, the material burns into your skin and has to be cut out. I know that Iron Heart is half trying to reach motorcycle riders as a target group but thats not good. It's better to ride with real motorcycle pants, preferably made of leather and, above all, with protectors.
Nobody noticed the most important quote of the video?
"omg why is it so thick?"
"you never said this to me before..."
Gave the video a thumb up after that
Found your channel a few days ago. I’ve been bingeing them. Your videos are so incredibly made it’s insane.
Same
I also think they are very much made.
i think you are a chick with a crush
I have 2 pairs of the unbranded 21 oz jeans. If you struggle with finding durable enough pants, these are amazing. After break in, they are comfy and flexible enough to work in but super durable and tough.
Yup have a pair of the 22oz in the tight fit actually, and they're way more comfortable than a 22oz skinny jean has any right to be. I wear them to work as a mechanic
I care almost 0% about fashion but goddamn I love watching your videos.
He's like the only channel that I love his ads even. He could film himself doing and explaining just about anything and it would be entertaining
this isn't fashion though, it's more utility clothing. maybe there's a hobby lying in wait for you to explore and you don't even know, you could look more into this stuff if you enjoy it
I don’t know how guys like you come up with these ideas that seem ridiculously trivial yet hook you in from start to finish! I’ve never been so invested in denim.
“You’ve never said that to me before” had me 😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome video, Mikey!
'omg this is so thick" "you never said that to me" loved it 🤣
Another excellent video! Wow, 40oz.. I wasn't hip. I knew about N&F 32oz, but I missed out. I do have 2 of IH 25oz, a 21oz, 17oz, and 14oz. And a Samurai-jeans x Oldblue 21oz. The 21oz IH is so soft out of the bag. The 17oz and 25oz are more crisp and stiff at first. 25oz turns into a pair of sweatpants just as your friend said about the 40oz. The 17oz I haven't had the pleasure of breaking in yet. If you've read this far, thank you for all you do. Excellent video
Love this video. Had my N&F 12.5 natural indigo selvedge over the summer. Love the lighter weight. About 12 wears in now on some new IH-777-xhs for this winter and they’re getting to be genuinely enjoyable. Don’t know if I have any interest in going much past 25oz, break in on these was no joke, but you’ve got me “somewhat more curious”.
I love that this is not a question I ever asked myself and never knew I needed the answer to. Thanks for that fun and interesting video i guess :D
btw: the quality of production is insane, I hope you get soon to the millions of subs you deserve.
Someone that can talk about and appreciate heavyweight jeans and showed me that there are more then the just the standard out there. Oh yes I will be subscribing!
Currently wearing 25oz IH666 while watching this. If anyone is considering getting into super heavy weight: do it, it’s not that bad I promise 😂
I remember the first time putting on 18oz big slub jeans and thinking like uh oh I spent a bunch of money on something I can't move in, but they broke in and now I've been wearing the 22oz big slub UB denim selvedge jeans as like my go to pair. I like that the warp and weft use slub yarn too. The heavy weight is somewhat calming. Wish I could afford iron heart. But I have 4 pair of indigo jeans that are in need of a good fade, and I did order a pair of momotaro 15.7oz slightly used for $75. So no more jeans... until black Friday... unless I find some work. Probably would get some nice boots or a Schott jacket if I was working though. Okay I'm going too far off subject. Sorry
"OmG why is this so thick"
"🗿you've never said that to me before"
That got me 🤣🤣🤣
Love your content! And the haircut actually looks much better!👊🏼👍🏼
*Those 40oz ones probably great for cold climates, after a good wear/wash time maybe couple months probably be nice.*
I’ve been an enjoyer of Momotaro 16oz denim for years, but have been debating getting into heavier denim. Iron Heart seems like a solid option.
I can’t lie the day this video came out your description of the Strike Golds made me buy them and I have been suffering every day since 😂
This video is great! I haven't worned selvedge denim in years and I want to get back into it!
I am blown away by your video editing for such a new channel!
Big Mike! Another masterpiece…cant wait for prologue
Love the new haircut! Looking fresh! Loved the video
Best Jeanist would be proud
Great vid Michael + when I went to Samurai Jeans last month they actually had a special tool for putting on the buttons for their heavy weight jeans as the fabric was so rigid 😅
Of all the heavy jeans I’ve had, the 21oz Iron Hearts were the best. Basically a 501 cut and the fabric was no where near as stiff as Unbranded after the initial starch wore out.
The Self Edge x Iron Heart bicycle jeans? I had those way back in the day, sick fades although they fell apart after half a year.
@@tykjpelkI still have those jeans.They are incredibly comfortable for 21oz. I would love to buy an identical pair, but they were limited edition.
Great video. I have a Strike Gold too, but not as heavy as the one shown in the video. Those N&F are crazy!
Just a little envious that you and Taylor are one of the few folks to wear the 40oz denim!
Also, it was great to see your initial impressions of the strike gold heavy denim as well.
As far as I know, SoSo makes the heaviest denim that you can regularly purchase at 33oz called TBOL (The Breaker of Legs). It's a denim they have woven specifically for them on a vintage GA1515 thats been modified specifically to weave the 33oz denim. Crazy stuff lol.
I wear Brave Star Denim True Straight jeans everywhere except to work. I have them from 12 to 21.5 oz, 14-16 seems to be perfect for most days of the year. The 21.5 oz ones were pretty tough to break in, and way too hot unless it's winter. I can't imagine 40 oz jeans, that's crazy.
Hey Michael! Have you made any video about Orslow? I'm so curious about their 105 and 107 fits and would love to see a video about them from you. Your content is so feel good even though I can't afford half of the stuff you're showing. 🐌
“big mike and the legend of the 40oz jeans”
The hair looks good.
bravo!
heaviest i went was 21oz (or was it 25?) still have them and even though theyre quite worn, theyre still completely intact
That denim is dummy thicc! BTW, I really think the branding of Iron Snail products looks great, ever thought of making a multi-pocket selvedge tote with a snail print? It would sell out in a weekend for sure!
I loved the discontinued heavywaight carhartt duck pants, they dont make them like they used to
I’m a 62 year old Englishman and I’ve never worn a pair of jeans in my life and never will. Doesn’t mean I’m not interested in this fascinating video! (I’m a corduroy trouser man, like my father).
Always entertaining, “Jean Wars” .
I was literally thinking I love the hair cut bro!
hair looks great my man !
Dude, thanks for so much information. I never knew this sort of stuff existed, I'd like to know if there's a big market for those 40-ounce jeans, and do you have to buy them from the Yakusa by the kilo.....
Having the heaviest jeans sounds like some sort of hipster flex
Everyone used to put on jeans lying in the floor. This was before 300 lbs was a common girl’s size and spandex appeared everywhere.
Great, entertaining video. I was all about raw denim back in 2007-2011. Been out the game since then. But I thought Iron Heart 21 OZ Superblack Jeans were tough.
Also, it’s pretty wild to find out N&F made the heaviest jeans. I remember they were considered entry level raw denim.
Hi, do you have a good recommendation for a pair of denim with a higher rise and straight leg? Love your videos!
That last pair isn’t a jeans, it’s an astronaut pant with added shrapnel-proof padding. You can send them to Mars and back, they’ll just do the entire mission on their own.
Get blackout drunk at the bar with these bad boys, they know the way home
Sorry, Michael, I can't watch the rest of your video because now I have to look up civil war cups.
Haircut looks good
Love the pants! Love the hair!
Loved this video. More extreme jeans, please! (Most ripped? Thinnest? Bluest?)
man I love your channel
haha, this was great. I needed a laugh tonight - thank you.
Iron Snail, my liege, does redcast heritage have any hemming options for their jeans? i know a few other heritage boutique sites do, but i couldn't find anything about it on their website
What a difference breaking in makes
7:29 Homeboy sounds like Chicken Little 😂
babe! wake up! he made another fucking jeans video!!
The super heavy jeans might be good for riding motorcycles.
Should have maybe went to 18oz before 21? I will say that UB 22oz big slub denim is very textured and they use slub yarn for the warp and weft, which isn't really done a lot, but is just gives it more character.
Were you wearing a Casio G-Shock watch in this video, and are you doing a separate video on the watch?🤞
How often do you have to clean the blue off your leather couch?
Back in the 80's we'd wash our jeans in warm water, then put them on wet. After that, you wear them 24/7 for a couple of days. Then you have the perfectly broken jeans. And yes, the process is absolute torture. The chaffing... omg.
I think 12-15oz is perfect. Any less and I’d prefer a different type of fabric. Any more and it feels like a gimmick.
But someone had to do this and the Iron Snail is that someone. Huzzah!
I find the info on the jeans fascinating! Great video. I’ve worn wrangler All my life being from Texas. But cinch jeans have become popular last few years. They’re not as tough in my opinion.
omg that Gursky poster very nice
okay that sponsor got me
that sounds lit!
"you never said that to me before" 😂😂😂
Love all my Naked and Famous jeans!
Now that's what I call a video, done well.
I've got a pair of TSG SG7103 jeans that are nigh on unwearable. The back of the fabric is literally like the underside of a piece of carpet. Cool looking, but they take skin off my knees. Not surprised to hear that the 9903s are tough, but I'd give em a shot!
Michael, did you delete your second channel with the vlogs? I liked that content, but I can't find it anywhere
As soon as I saw this pop up I assumed it was going to be Naked & Famous. Have been waring them for years since I read about their scratch and sniff denim and glow in the dark. Still miss my Snowpant denim, they really need to bring them back.
Actually I think your hair looks great!
I'm cracking up at your GF (I assume it's not the bottom half of a mannequin) just chillin at the table in the background while you wallow on the floor with your jeans 😂
The haircut looks good
Awesome timing. I just my first pair of 14.5oz and they felt crazy to me for the first few wears. I think I’m sick because now I want some 22oz
You got the denim bug. Be careful you can only wait one pair at a time. It's really easy to get caught up into the different variations that like N&F releases and feel like yr missing out. But if yr talking about the UB 22oz big slub... I'd get them. They're like $118 shipped on their site. I have a pair and the warp and weft use slub yarn, which is rare. But I love mine and have been wearing them the most. Then I got some 15.7oz momotaro jeans Monday and they're a little slimmer than I expected but they also sit lower than I like. I'd have sized up if they weren't resale, but they were $75. I remember my first pair were 13oz, then I got myself 18oz and at first I was nervous, but just remembered it's only cotton... and follow Mikey's advice, buy yr normal waist size, I like a little extra room in my jeans. Stay safe out there. Money can go fast, but it is fun.
What brand is your couch, where did you get it? Thanks.
The video is great and informative yet again although the table squat make me anxious we might inadvertently meet the boys
Hey Michael, i found your channel when i was looking for a video about waxed jackets.
I liked the video and you too, but i am not into the whole fashion youtube thing.
At least, thats what i thought you were. I ended up buying a waxed jacket (Pike Brothers 1908 Miners Jacket) and i recently re-waxed it, found your channel again due to the tutorial video, and began snooping around.
Today i watched this video and i found someone like me, someone who appreciates high quality goods, who has similar style, way of talking and sadly, also has a long distance girlfriend (time zones suck, amirite).
Anyway, i loved this video and id love to buy one of these heavy weight jeans if they just weren´t so damn expensive.
Thanks for making videos, i subscribed, looking forward to see more content!
Excellent vlog!
Garret just let Taylor keep the jeans. Just look at that face🥺lol. Keep them coming Mikey!
UB 22oz big slub is a very textured denim. Both the warp and weft use slub yarn , I've worn them about 10 days now. Apparently I bought a pair of used momotaro 15.7oz jeans. Can't wait to get them.
Levis 501c is the best denim jeans i ever bought and it was my last jeans i bought 10 years ago it still as good as new minus some very light stains , any heavier than those jeans will be nightmare , i don't really wear jeans but levis dpes make some real good jeans
Held the 40oz in hand today, they are insane!
I’ve got 3 pairs of those 32oz jeans and have been waiting 5yrs for the 40oz to come out. I’d love for them to make a jacket while they’re at it.
I'm glad I got into the world of denim. I own 7 pairs (that have to do with the hobby). Couple oni denim, n&f, samurai, Japan blue, etc. my heaviest pair(s) are the 20oz onis. One in the asphalt gradient and the other a greencast. Hands down some of my favorite clothing items I own AND comfortable, not a significant amount of wear btw. Hard to wear all my pairs since I don't go to my job in them. Point is, if you SIZE correctly and are particular on the fit and appliance of them, they will break in a little and even at a heavy weight, they're still comfy to wear. During the summer? Maybe not. But if you sweat and move around in em that way, hey that'll surely break em in faster. Also someone said they slept in theirs, I do that as well! I had a history of falling asleep in my stretch denim, so I just carried that over to selveged and it's been no problem. Just naps, if you take them. That is enough lol
I'd be curious to see how Calico Cut Pants stack up
I own a pair of ultra slubby 17oz strike gold jeans. I could barely get them on with how stiff and rough they were. Thankfully they’ve loosened up a bit now 😅
I remember the heavy slubby jeans we wore back in our college days. The denim was stiff and rough enough to strike the old style matches and stub our cigarettes out. LOL.
If denim was invented in the medieval era somebody out there is gonna be rocking the 40oz denim as armor.
Linen armor used by ancient greeks seemed to be efective enough, should be possible to create decent armor with denim.
Sizing up>>>>>>>>>>>> Sizing down I dont mind the weight it is if i can fit into them or not,
Hel-looooo Taylor! hubba hubba!
i feel like wearing the 40oz would keep you standing without ur leg muscles having to do anything
Ok, but why? Is there a practical use for the higher weight denim? Is it more comfortable that a standard weight denim? They seemed like a pain to put on let alone enjoy your day in.
Bragging rights
It's more durable. Jeans were originally work pants for miners. Fashion-wise, heavier denim fades are more visually interesting.
I feel calmer in them. Like a weighted blanket. Also better in the cold and working in. I've been welding in my 22oz
@@JoeyDecay When we were welding and the dust sheets protecting the doors caught light, my friend just rub it out with the leg of his 25oz jeans. they put it out much faster than the fire blanket and it never damaged the denim.
Stopping arrows
The first N&F fit suits you great if somewhat shorter ofcourse
