Dawg, I have the same kind of problem with my girlfriend. Do I have the money for a perka like that? No, so she can suffer as we walk to and from target
hey man the videos you create always bring a smile to my face. Just in case you needed to hear it, i really dig your video style as well as your jacket collection - dont stop making these types of videos
I really dig the video style!! Vlogging + jacket reviews (or, Taylor's Journey to get Warm) is a great mix. Been watching your videos for a while, think this is the first time i've commented though! Great videos dude! You've got a knack for making even the ordinary life entertaining. :) looking forward to the next video!
I wish I had a girlfriend. Except you had to go to college to meet her. And I never went. And now I'm 32 so I probably will never find another one. At least you found one. Seems nice.
This will be a long comment so, sorry. Started watching your stuff a couple months ago. You’re the only clothing reviewer I’ve seen that understands the importance of proper fitting clothes! I’ve been wearing shrink-to-fit jeans for the past 12 years as well as J. Crew chinos (their now-titled 770 cut) - I don’t understand why more people don’t realize they give themselves a carrot shape either - referencing the video I watched last night. Also, my wife is always cold, only feels content when it’s 95 and humid. I grew up in Northern CT (Go Sox) and love the cooler weather because it’s not humid. But now we live in Raleigh, NC so it works out (a good 4 season state). So happy you and your girlfriend are well, my wife and I will be celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary this summer! If I could pass along some advice, the common sense elements of any good relationship are trust and communication (can’t have one without the other) but also a deep humility of yourself for the other, when you can be sacrificial for each other on top of being completely, fully open with each other, nothing will break your bond. Good luck to you both and thanks for the great content of your channel, everything is top shelf!
Bwahahaha the plants on Taylor's house had me laughing! Plus you are so authentic and real, and the words you speak are magic. Thank you for the soothing moment! Wishing you a blessed New Year 💞🥰❤️ Come by and say hello one of these days, I'd love to show you our latest 😊❤️
Here's some unsolicited advice from a Norwegian: Her base layer could be improved upon, with the world's best fabric: Wool. One tip is this Norwegian company (we know how the cold works) called Northern Playground. They make garments from this awesome organic wool/silk-blend - really thin and smooth and some great colours. Some of their styles are a bit too technical for my taste (they are made for hiking and cross country skiing), but some looks great. And, how good does a base layer need to look? Also ethical production in Europe. You should look them up! Thanks for the video.
Aldri hørt om. Sjekket nettopp ut nettsiden, dødskult konsept, digger ull, plaggene ser digge ut, men døve farger og litt døv design. Nysgjerrig på om det er knallgod kvalitet med plagg som varer i mange år eller ei..
Cool! Another great thing about wool, is that it almost never smells. I use their T-shirts as a base layer almost every day during winter (it was 10ºF in Oslo today...), and I have just two of them. If you're a bit sweaty one day, just air the shirt you wore out, while you wear the other one, and it's good to go. And thin wool breathes when it's warm. I swear, wool is freaking magic.

I came for the LL Bean Wicked Good Slipper content and received the millennial existential plight. Save your money, buy a house, and get married... JK. PS I would reco the WG Boot Moc for anyone that wants some ankle coverage/warmth
The Baxter State Park by L.L. Bean is hands-down, the best and warmest jacket but you got a review the newer one, not the old one that your girlfriend has, and they’re very affordable for what they provide in warmth and being waterproof and windproof!
I love your compositions, man. You're something else 😁👍 Wonderfully smart and quirky. You're like one of Molly Bloom's monologues from Ulysses. Instead of what most people do, present an orderly, structured simplification of a very complicated world, you're doing the exact opposite; you're essentially presenting the natural chaos of human thought as fundamental... So, you make a very conscious effort at not building a coherent narrative. In fact, you effin make sure you disrupt it at every turn with digressions , non sequiturs, and general jackassery...just like it happens inside our heads. That's sheer genius, young man. I hope with all my heart that you get the recognition you deserve, and then the world can probably shun the mindless lunacy of hackneyed sequels , prequels, and all that nonsense for good and get back to making intelligent films again.
I have 2 Canada Goose and a Moose Knuckles and I've never worn more than a t shirt in them. One thing to note is that i tried sizing up on the 3rd parka and while trying it on indoors and comparing it to my others, it wasn't warming up insanely fast like the others. I came to the conclusion that it was too big, too much extra space inside and the down filling was too far from the body. Sent it back, got a size down and all was good!
I’ve never met someone who gets cold like me!! I just moved back to New York from florida, and I’m afraid of fall and winter coming. I’m going to layer and get some of the coats you guys wear because they’re really cute
It doesn't look like a typical American household. More like a European household, I meant Taylor's. Are you sure you two are from the US? I watched a few videos and I got this mixture of European style and Japanese influence. What was your major in college? Is it film studies and advertising. Something related to art as well? I asked because there's something in your vlogs that really stand out. By the way, please review some of Taylor's jeans as well. I have a hard time finding dark denim jeans that fit. Jeans from Levi's don't fit regardless of the price point. Used to purchase from chevignon but they don't have the dark denim right now. I also only wash my jeans once or twice a year. Had no idea there's a name for this habit. What's that called?
Hahaha yes we are very American BUT Taylor’s family are very into thrifting and decorating and Japanese culture as a whole! I’m very into Japanese made goods too so it’s a good combo :) And thank you! I did film in college!
Quirky video bro. Lol this is a funny and weird video on jackets. I was watching with both a frown and smile on my face. Sometimes this would alternate. I waited and waited mate. It was slow coming and funny. Taylor needs some wool pants. Get some old Woolrich hunting pants slimmed down. She also needs silk base layers followed by cashmere before the down jacket. She should eat all cooked food and warming spices. Chai tea too.
I'm obsessed with jackets too but I live in Georgia so I get to wear them about 5 days out of the year. Those days are never in a row either...or the same day.
I always thought I had no allergies. But it turns out I am allergic to dogs. Found out after my father adopted one. I wake up sneezing until my eyes start crying everyday now.
Hey Michael, great video! I love that you narrate and introduce yourself! I can relate to your situation with your chilly girlfriend, my better half runs at a lower temperature too. My sweater supply has dwindled. Keep on creating your content, it's personal, genuine, entertaining, funny, and down to earth. I find your video style is truly a casual vlog style with a purpose of discussing your interests - in particular JACKETS. I collect them too, layering is essential. I look forward to your next video. What product do you toss into that hair style? Cheers!
This was adorable. My 70's Baxter State parka is only wool lined, not down, so it's trash in the winter. My wife is from Mass originally and we moved back there six years ago but I only just bought long underwear this winter in an effort to hopefully stave off bad snowstorms. However, they are indeed clutch and I should have gotten them sooner.
They are amazing! And I’ve seen a ton of those wool lined parkas and always wondered why they made them like that, maybe for layering more? But welcome back to MA even though I’m 6 years late!
@@TheIronSnail I think the wool lined ones are mainly for the fall/spring? I’d layer under it and wear it throughout the previous winters to little success though it was still mildly water resistant after all those years. Thanks for the welcome to MA. I love it up here and actually have a friend that lives near the park you guys were filming in. Not to be creepy or anything.
Hahaha not creepy at all! I think Taylor is in one of the most beautiful towns in MA. I couldn’t believe it when I first went! Also ah yeah that makes sense a transitional parka.
I love jackets but I live in a tropical place where jackets are practically useless so I own 2 jackets to never be able to wear them. P.S. : The most casual and cutest GF reveal I have seen.
Found yourself a girl that won’t get mad when you come home with a 40th jacket. Smart, lol
Hahaha it’s the only way I can exist!
The Tale of the Iron Snail and the chilly girlfriend really got me, so relatable! Why are girls always so cold haha
Honestly! We have a theory that her and I probably operate on a 20° difference so when it’s 60° outside she feels 40°
The Iron Snail flexing on us with his hot girlfriend
My first and only flex!
Dude, you could review a piece of toast and I’d watch it.
That...is so nice of you to say. TOAST REVIEW COMING SOON!!
Production quality has gone through the roof with this one. Well done man
Thank you my friend!
Seeing you uploaded a video is like Christmas.
Legendary compliment assuming you like Christmas!
Yes, I love it!!
WOO! Me too!
Dawg, I have the same kind of problem with my girlfriend. Do I have the money for a perka like that? No, so she can suffer as we walk to and from target

Hey thanks for watching/commenting!! And glad to hear you like the style!
Wait, weren't you going to exchange her for a motorcycle?
Hold on let me check my notes
Watching and enjoying this in late 2023, but....man, your videos have *really* improved!
The new music and editing adds a really fun indie edge to your videos. Stick with it, I like it a lot.
Will do!!
I loved the Christmas vibes I got there for a second.
Your gf is gorgeous! A really beauty! Seing her inner beauty too.
(Relax, Im married with one too, I will not try steal yours!)
Kudos for doing yoga!
Hahaha I agree she is!
And THANKS new to yoga but it’s incredible
This is hilarious and the most New England video ever!

Get her a Patagonia Fitz Roy. Extremely warm and super light.
2 years late on this... but what is the jacket you are wearing as you narrate the video!?
eBay shows your contact info from PayPal if you're messaging a buyer. That's probably how they got the # if your paypal is old

She IS! Lucked out on her and ty!
Women 95°F and sunny- "BRRRRR WHY IS IT SO COLD OUT!?!"
The boys ice fishing -10°F in a 30mph wind- "Whew I'm sitting up a sweat"
Hahahaha
You should have kept that Freenote RJ2 for her; but then again, if your arms got cold in it, then....?
Then what could I have done!
Very nice video! But if she gets cold easily, how is she just wearing leggings outside? My legs would freeze!!
There are many things I still don’t have answers for!
Paraphrasing something you said, Taylor IS the most beautiful woman ever
Could not agree more!
