- Get Levi's 501s here! fave.co/3DFMF9A
Oh we thrifting baby! A thrifting haul! NYC! Levi's! Vintage Denim! Ronnie! Amelia! Taylor!
Ah, thrifting. One of those things you do when you go outside and want to find a deal. Well guess what, I did that! Did I find a perfect pair of vintage Levi 501's? What about the perfect Levi's or Wrangler jacket? What about neither of those two? What if this is all just disappointing? What if? I guess we'll never ever know. I did see a lot of cool vintage, selvedge, unsanforized denim though. Deadstock even. Hypebeast level denim.

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 jacket 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
I wouldn't use the term "thrift store" to describe the places visited. I would use the term "high-priced NYC vintage clothing store."
Imagine how cool it would be to be able to thrift in the 80s. All high quality clothes from the 70s 60s 50s etc. The Kurt Cobain/grunge effect and then everyone was doing it
Did Ronnie pass up a legitimate WW2 A2 jacket!? Madness. Good job staying calm! And, yes, we love the thrifting content!
SHEER MADNESS! And sweet! I’ll keep doing it then!
If a store sells a 2000 dollar levi jacket, its not a thrift store. Also that bag you got is absolutely beautiful. That is gonna be an exquisite heirloom piece you can hand down
That bag is siiiiiick! Also, nice to see NY vintage stores have improved from the days of Beacon’s Closet. My hidden gem was Unique on Fulton St. Most days it was just moth eaten sweaters but some days it was vintage Ralph for like $8.
Beacons Closet & Buffalo Exchange are the places where you still really hunt! These places it’s like fish in a barrel
That is very generous of you to show your favorite spots.
Together we can all get the best deals!
I love jackets too and i know the feeling when i shouldn't ramp people to get stuff i see it suits them apsulute perfect. And this jacket was so perfect suiting that guy... Perfect fit! Shoulder and all
Where I live "in the midwest" it's all about vintage work shirts in khaki with chest pockets that have flaps and buttons . Same goes for very old Red Kap panel jackets that have button pockets on the chest . The work shirts are totally Indiana Jones or jungle safari and the jackets are generally vintage American gas station . You can go to thrift stores here for days and you'll be lucky to find one . Again , it's all about the pockets on the chest with the flaps that button .
I feel this fit problem. My Schott perfecto is longer because I thought short was weird. Now I know I’m wrong, but now it’s been on countless motorcycle rides, concerts, it’s been my pillow while sleeping on the ground. I feel like it’s just mine now lol. Not cool guy fit, but it’s all good.
The L Train Vintage on Grand brings back memories! It was pretty close to my old apartment, I'd grab coffee at Willburg Cafe with my partner before heading over for thrifting, then catch the G to Greenpoint for Beacon's! Good times.
A lovely place indeed!!
I remember how much I enjoyed watching your channel and now you're also making videos with Christian. As they say brother "You've come a long way baby"
Subscribed man ! Really like the vibes and quality of your video ! Keep doing it !
Hey thanks! I will!
Just made it into the city this Thursday! Should've made it out to L-Train or this "10ft Single", sound like amazing places. Guess I'll have to go back in soon. Great video as always, and actually love the soundtrack of this one.
Dah yes you’ll have to come back! And ty!
hobo mike is my favorite mike. which is also me when im lazy. i am hobo mike as well.
Hey a fellow hobo Mike!
@@TheIronSnail on a different note Mike, I should of took your advice about the 3sixteen jacket.
Great bag! Hope you take great care of it
We have a vintage store that also has insane prices, I hardly go there because of the prices. More than the prices, the place is crammed in so much you can't see what is on the racks without taking everything off. If you are ever in Toronto, Canada, you must go to Kensington Market as they have the most used clothing stores in just a few blocks.
Okay deal! I’m sure I’ll end up there eventually!
Just found a brand new pair of new balance 990v4’s for $5. I only buy from thrift stores, this was my best find in 5 years.
No quips today. You crack me up man keep up the work.
Bahaha will do!
you are such a charming young man wishing you the best always
Hey thank you!
you should do more thrifting stuff; this video was really fun
Okay deal!
fun day. great bag
Ty!
I've never been to NYC but really want to go! I live on the other side of the country. Once I can I'm definitely gonna hit up some of these thrift stores, I've never found anything good locally
Yeah whenever you get here you gotta check them out!
Another great video. Wish you were in Los Angeles, could use some thrift store recs here.
When i go there I’ll have to hit a few!
I love denim jackets
Me too
I just came here to leave my comment, like the video and support the art depicted in this channel
Well this is just a gem of a comment!
Good tips on the vintage shop! Love that type 1, ya know for the history. Might do a sale on my OF so i can cop
Quick OF sale for a Type I sounds like a solid plan tbh
Ronny you fool that jacket was perfect!!!!!
It breaks my heart to this day!
Love this video man! As someone who’s never thrifted in NYC where would you recommend going first? Oh btw, that bag is sick.
HmMmM depends! I was going to like expensive curated vintage shops but there are so many different things like Beacons Closet or Buffalo exchange are straight thrift stores with real cheap prices but there’s way less curation!
I was going to say first but I decided to finish watching the video before commenting lol, when I was in New York I never found anything that could fit me at thrift stores, coming back in the fall tho maybe I should try more.
Yifan I’ll never understand your speed at any time of day
And yeah come try them out!
Very nice production. I came here for the denim but stayed for the friendly chat.
Hey thanks!
its wild to see how the other half lives., meanwhile im in a poor council estate in the uk where most people cant afford to eat lmao
10ft single is a gem!
Agreed!
I really really enjoyed the dim iPad light doomsday aesthetic lol, do some more Mikey!
You know…i also thought it looked pretty cool
@@TheIronSnail there's something extra homey about a rainy dreary atmosphere around a thrift store or an antique shop. thanks for taking the time to respond and like all the comments on your videos, that's really cool of you. Also, Taylor DID look super fab in that straw hat, I hope she got it lol
I agree!! And oh of course. Also Taylor says “THANK YOU I DID!”
yes do more thrifting
Deal!
Hey mike. Could you define thrifting? I was wondering, what is your definition was? Is it just buying second hand? I’m just curious. Thanks
Technically I also have no idea bahaha I and my friends just call any second hand shopping thrifting now!
@@TheIronSnail thanks for the response. I’ve just noticed a lot of people recently saying things like “look at this jacket I thrifted” which implies a huge discount, and when pressed on price it’s over 100 dollars they spent at a vintage store. I’m used to buying at a thrift store being the definition of thrifted, but maybe I need to change my definition, because you aren’t the first person I’ve heard that use it this way. Maybe I’m just an old millennial hipster living in a gen z world
O wow I want that leather bag 😵
What can I say!
Writing this from the living room of my big beautiful home and yet part of me would trade the lot of it for the freedom to go afoot in a large city with my mate and my girl and to experience young love again.
Writing this from my gf’s apartment with a broken AC in 90° NYC! It has its pluses and minuses bahahaha
It was funny!
TY!
Damnit, Mike, now I have to watch this in the middle of the night!
I’m picturing you getting the notification and taking a deep sigh
@@TheIronSnail Exactly. *Loud Beep* Huh? Oh goddamnit, Mike... *Opens UA-cam*
@@TheIronSnail Also, why didn't anyone buy that suede, fringed jacket?!
…some things just can’t be shown on camera
@@TheIronSnail Ah I understand, it's because it was perfect.
Massachusetts lets goo!!!
AY AYYYY!
Hey Mike, what jacket were you wearing when Ronnie was in the mirror. Looks a lot like an old type 2 to me.
That’s a sugar cane modified 1953 type II!
@@TheIronSnail the one you did a video on a while ago? Looks awesome!
@@jessesandhu2220 yup!! Same one! Just getting better and better
@@TheIronSnail awesome, thanks! Would love an update on it one day!
@@jessesandhu2220 oh don’t worry I’ll show you soon! Gotta get a little more wear on it first though!
6:38 what did you see?
Imagine getting that 2k jacket and then some dude saying, hey that jacket is awesome kinda expensive though a paid almost 300 for mine... but mine has 6 buttons.
“Hey that jacket is amazing! Did you get it at H&M?”
@@TheIronSnail A Classic
I knew you and the theo & harris watch guy are the same person… 🤣
Bahaha no no that must be someone else
I have a similar sweater that yr wearing. Mines American Apparel though. Why don't you have more subs. I'll try to help
Go buy that $1950 Levi's jacket Michael. You are The iron snail aka The Jackets Guy. You supposed to have that jacket.
God damnit clement you’re right
Thumbs up for Biggy Smalls
the hide don't lie
I was threatened by some guy on a parking lot rooftop in Queens but it was worth it because of this video.
Oh sorry that was me
@@TheIronSnail Didn't know you did drunk homeless guy cosplay Mr. Snail 🤯
It’s the only way i can maneuver through the city!
I have 5 levi jackets in 5 shades for $32 each now that’s thrifting don’t know what this is at $2000.
No way I’ll buy a jacket for that price …. I live a modern world … I’ll buy a new design jeans and jacket
And that was the moment, he knew.. he fucked up - Ronnie
The world stopped and stared at his mistake
4.5 out of 7 lmao wtf😂😂
i like ur stuff but that jacket dont be fitting him, too short for his long body +he doesnt tuck in his shirt anyway & its like 4 cm off the shoulders
None of those shops are thrift stores.
I’m slowly finding out i may not know what a thrift store is…what are these stores?
did you say LEVIS?
LEVIS anyone?!
I spent several hours in 10ft single a few weekends ago and found absolutely nothing for women over a size medium. So it definitely leaves a lot to be desired in terms of accessibility and size inclusivity.
No wonder my day felt off... you were missing from it.
Hey THANKS!
3:51, look in the mirror. What do you see? Hint, you see the same thing 4:26.
Video? 5/5
Comment 6/5
