This guy is me if I had a channel. We’re both from cape and our clothes never fit even though we’re apparently obsessed with our clothes fitting properly
Same. I can love a piece one day and then I catch a side glimpse of myself in a mirror or window and immediately come to hate that piece. I drive my wife nuts repeatedly trying things on and pulling them in and out of the closet.
Hey Michael! With summer around the corner would you consider doing a linen video? Maybe like a buying guide or one of your informational videos about the fabric!
Agree with the previous comment, so glad I found your channel. I hope it blows up. Even though I can’t afford half the brands lol, it gives me ideas for ones I can. Thanks for great content
Your video on Russell Moccasins boots caused me to be obsessed with them. It happened at a good time though, as they had a discounted pair of Backcountry Weathered Oak seconds in my size. Can't wait for them to come.
YES I was waiting for a video of you actually building outfits around what you talk about. Even tho I felt what you said about liking the materials and items more than the actual outfit building xddd
Absolutely love the fitment notes. It seems like I'm between sizes on basically everything that has ever been made to fit a human body, so I tend to stick to a very select few styles and brands that work for me. This has led to me having a limited style palette, which now makes me feel like I look weird in clothes I'm not familiar with. Having some sizing notes and especially styling notes like adding a belt and ironing goes a long way for giving me something to look for in clothes that look objectively good on me but make me think I look weird. TL:DR please keep doing fitment and styling notes
Nice video Michael. Where in NH are you moving? I’m moving there too soon as my gf got into grad school there. A video idea: over the course of the next few months, film before and afters of all the pieces you get tailored to show what a difference tailoring can make. It’s clear from this video you’ve got a very specific idea of what you think fits and what does not, and you know how to fix it. As someone who’s newer to fashion, I thought a lot of the outfits fit you great! But I also don’t mind a looser fit. A video like this would be interesting to see how different types of tailoring can affect garments (I.E. hemming pants length vs bringing in the waist size)
13:03 Yes, yes YES! denim pullover ❤️❤️❤️ I ordered a railroad denim pullover from Bronson and it got lost in the mail then it was OOS then I had a stroke and now that's all I think about 😢
Michael!!! Do you still wear your sugar cane type 2 jacket or did that get lost in the age of minimalism?!?! I bought the same jacket and have a bit over a year in it and would love to see yours! Great video, keep it up!
This video sent me on a nine month expedition to find a Levi’s x Filson trucker and I finally got one! I can’t say if the price I paid was worth it, but I’m happy with it
your style really really resonates w my favorites. really wish I could invest in these brands. Been sticking to fast fashion tops, levi’s denim, and just started investing in nice boots.
I bought a waxed jacket last year, the 1908 Miners Jacket by Pike Brothers, it’s gone out of production and they still have some Medium in stock, but if it’s not to late that would be my choice for the waxed jacket olympics. It’s 15oz waxed canvas made by Halley Stevenson, and it’s ridiculously stiff at first, but after being worn in its easily become my favourite jacket to wear anywhere
Michael! When will your jeans come out? I have itchy-Jean-trigger-finger and have had to fight the urge to buy jeans knowing that yours are in the works!
That fob pull over js GREAT! And weir but I live unique weird pieces! Will shop for one of those. Any recommendations to buy it from? Great vid as always Michael!
Every time you do one of these videos it reminds me that I really need to slow down and be more thoughtful with my purchases. I've ended up with a wardrobe with too many boring basics and fewer outfits I really like as a result. Summer shoes that aren't white sneakers are something I want to explore more. P.S. - Red Tornado makes a dupe of the Filson x Levi's collaboration, not sure how I feel about it but figured people might be interested.
Regarding shirt sizing, you gotta also take into account shrinkage, especially for flannel/chamois shirts. Over time, they will shrink with multiple washes, so the 38 may be fine in the long run.
some cool fits in here. not everything has to be the perfect fit. outfit 2 at 3:42 is so fire. it's put together and nonchalant at the same time. uniform type shit
Banana Republic (and Gap) pants fit me the best. I know they are a big corp company, but they have the fit dialed in. J Crew is also good, but BR has them beat. (I have a slim, athletic build.) Also, Taylor Stitch runs big on me too. My favorite jeans I have (and I have tried lots of brands) are a pair of Levis 501 Tapered. Next are BR jeans.
“I love fabric! I actually like fabric more than fashion or clothes.” SAME!!! Also you video composition style-I’m here for all of it :) P.S.- prob weird to hear from internet rando & likely hear frequently, but you & Taylor are adorable
I go through the same mental process with all of my clothes that I buy online, because I'm also part of the guys into clothes, under 6 foot club. Let the hunt for the short hemmed clothing company begin! Or let it be Iron Snail ;)
The pants at 2:51 have front pleats. You need to iron them with pleats in mind. They should have a nice crisp pleat following all the way down to the hem. Once you hem them they might look dressier if you iron them correctly. Otherwise the front pleats look odd for a casual outfit.
I promise I don't hate this channel, I'm just vocal about my criticisms cause I think if nobody speaks up the product never gets better. I do like u Michael. That being said; dude, if you're gonna do a lookbook video bring some inspiration to the table. Blue jeans and a white shirt with leather shoes. Black on black with leather shoes. The white on white was different but 🤷🏼♂ I thought you were gonna start being more adventurous! That being said, the high cut safari pants with the white tucked in shirt were a vibe and will be getting looked into.
I have that filsonxlevis jacket somewhere in my apartment and it's bonkers that they don't still have that going. It's not like Filson's scaled back operations since 2011.
Hard pass on the 1/4 zip, UNLESS it's a Filson Ranger anorak. Thank you for your videos. Santa will bring me a pair of Russell moccasins this year, thanks to your video.
I think the key to clothing you love is for them to be both aesthetically pleasing to yourself as well as well constructed from quality materials. I too think I like fabric more than clothing. I like the same over shirt silhouette in different types of animal fiber.
It makes sense to be interested in the fabric. Italian chefs and Japanese chefs know that you can have an incredible dish with only three ingredients as long as those ingredients are the best quality
Also, I love the look of half button old style shirts like the ones at the end of your video but I know I wouldn’t wear them because I think they look best when tucked in and I don’t like wearing tucked-in shirts so it doesn’t work for me. I’ll just have to appreciate the design and settle for that.
@@TheIronSnail I’m glad you think so 🤗 I’m so on the fence about getting a pair and then which pair to get? Every Aussie in New York has a pair, it’s how they identify each other when overseas. Seeing as I am an Aussie expat, I feel obligated, but only if they are actually worth throwing down for.
I’ve been rocking a shorter hem/no break. Aft first I didn’t know and I’ve kind leaned into it. It feels really European and care free. Who knows. Maybe I’ll regret it. Lots of break is back but I don’t like that. Also white on white is worn by Alessandro Squarzi a lot and looks killer.
The pullover may have different sized shoulders due to the material being factory washed or not washed. Good makers will account for around 1 cm of shrinkage after the first wash.
I know that this has nothing to do with the video but i can't find any good videos about these things so round house (they make clothes similar to carhartt stuff) and stormy kromer coat/vest (they make wool coats and vests like the filson Mackinaw wool stuff) if you could consider looking at these brands that would be great if not i understand i love your videos
Everyone sees a dude in jeans and jacket, but only you know you spent a monthly paycheck on it.
Right? Everyone's good at something.
But they'll last for wayy longer
@@arko9151 a good pair of wrangler will probably last just a long.
It's the secret that I must never reveal
@@TheLoneLander it's all relative tbh, Levi's jeans don't last for me anyway

Find a good tailor. It’s a life changer.
I love that this comment is the top voted comment lol

I drive my wife nuts repeatedly trying things on and pulling them in and out of the closet.
Dude just needs to work out a bit. Do a bit of boxing, it will work wonders
Funny iz funny
the way you analyze how your clothing fits helps me understand my own wardrobe. cool video
Thank you!
Hey Michael! With summer around the corner would you consider doing a linen video? Maybe like a buying guide or one of your informational videos about the fabric!
Yes totally!
the fob factory denim pullover is a killer, 10/10.
that's what I'm talking about!
We need more ‘fit troubleshooting’ guides like you did with the first outfit
Deal!
Major Ace Ventura vibes at 1:08. Another great video!
That denim pullover is legit. I'd rock it for sure
I think it's called a pop over. I bought one online in a thinner chambray and it ended up being way too small. I'd wear the shit out of this one
They are sick!
I liked the Baracuta jacket, white jeans and Sander's chukkas outfit the best
Well there we go!
That was surprisingly intense and pretty awesome at the same time.
Well done
Thank you!
Anthony Bourdain rocked that Levi x Filson jacket
Now that's sweet!

haku pullover is awesome, looks great on you boss
Thank you!
That chair is gorgeous! Makes me want to get into some woodworking if I had the space.
Now that would be cool!
2.13 - love that watch/long sleeve tee combo. great vid. as joyful to watch as ever.
The g9 looks good.i think it's a perfect fit
Thank you!
Love the Clarks bankrobber moc and Huckberry’s chucks💯
Love the bankrobbers!
Huge fan of your videos and the edits describing how things could fit better is super helpful! Thank you!
Thank YOU!
The white outfit is boss. Both of them. It’s a good look.
Ooh! Can't wait for the carhartt video

Possibly Hanover NH! We have some friends up there and family is pretty close too

You may see timeless classics. What I see are the articles of clothing my parents made me wear in middle school.😅
Your parents probably made you wear those exactly because they were timeless classics 😁
Ha!
Your Levis x Filson jacket sure is hansom !!
AGREED!
I need to know the sizing for the 634s, I have no clue if their website sizing is the size of the jeans before stretch or after and I’m going insane
The sizing on IH is before stretch, I have 3 pairs of jeans and 2 pairs of pants ordered from the IH website
It's before stretch! That being said I sized up 2 from what I normally size. Get a tape measure around your belt line and go from there!
@@TheIronSnail wow, I’m surprised how good they look 2 sizes up!
Nice video. I really like the Clark’s but I wish they had them in black
great outfits! thanks for showing them!
I own the shoes at end and they are very very comfy 😊

Lmao I got 2 pairs of stfs
COMING SOON! I'm hoping in the next 1 - 2 months but hopefully sooner!
Was waiting for a video like this!
I'm glad!
Awesome Content ! Very original in my opinion... Thanks! George, Los Angeles
Thanks George!
Nice video! How do you find the sizing on the desert treks?
That fob pull over js GREAT!
And weir but I live unique weird pieces!
Will shop for one of those.
Any recommendations to buy it from?
Great vid as always Michael!
Haku clothing is the place to be!
With the wheel robe shoes do you know how the sizes run. Everything I find is in Japanese
Pretty large actually -- you could go a half size down from your boot size and still have room
I love these types of videos!
Thank you!
Love the vid!
Thank you!

Michael you should check out Bradley Mountain's new leather jackets. I got one in the cognac and the fit is right up your alley!
I've been drooling over those!
Regarding shirt sizing, you gotta also take into account shrinkage, especially for flannel/chamois shirts. Over time, they will shrink with multiple washes, so the 38 may be fine in the long run.
W! Can’t wait for the carhartt dissection
SAME!
Awwww baby boiiiii. That outfit looked awesome opossum. The one you didnt like initially. It was fire Sire.
Well thanks hanks!
I need that Chambray pullover!
some cool fits in here. not everything has to be the perfect fit. outfit 2 at 3:42 is so fire. it's put together and nonchalant at the same time. uniform type shit
I full agree!
Who makes the jacket in grey that someone sent you? The one that is a 36 is tight.
Could you pretty please with a cherry on top tell us where you got the oyster chair from!!! :D
Modernica!
@@TheIronSnail Looks soooo nice but damn that price tag lol. Did you grab yours from Facebook Marketplace??
Hi Snail! Whats the white tee in the intro/first fit?
Bronson MFG!
Was there a chance to order the Prologue again? I see a banner at the top of your website about denim but all denim is no longer available?
Sizing is so important. I have a G9 but doesn't fit me nowhere as nice as yours does, need to sell mine :D Great channel by the way brother
What size is yours? And is it the no wash?
@@TheLoneLander 46R, its super baggy on me

Would be cool if you did a video where you go through your ENTIRE wardrobe. ALL the pieces!
That would be immense! Can do...I have a storage rental thing for all the clothes!
“I love fabric! I actually like fabric more than fashion or clothes.” SAME!!!
Also you video composition style-I’m here for all of it :)
P.S.- prob weird to hear from internet rando & likely hear frequently, but you & Taylor are adorable
Ha! I knew there were fellow fabric nerds out there
Also, TY!
"The Failure" looks like a high grade architect. Definitely a dude that drives a car with a red interior. Thanks for the fun video :)
Lol, that's what I'm talking about!
Denim pullover looking good
Thank you!
I don't see the red Taylor Stitch shirt available on their site. Is it sold out?
Sadly it's gone :/
I go through the same mental process with all of my clothes that I buy online, because I'm also part of the guys into clothes, under 6 foot club. Let the hunt for the short hemmed clothing company begin! Or let it be Iron Snail ;)
Short guys unite!
The denim pull over looks like a modern oversize fit and i like that
I agree!
that looks like norse projects! 9:05
It certainly is!
Love the videos, love the personality, absolutely hate the pants. Ironically, the outfit with the white pants was my favourite overall.
The pants at 2:51 have front pleats. You need to iron them with pleats in mind. They should have a nice crisp pleat following all the way down to the hem. Once you hem them they might look dressier if you iron them correctly. Otherwise the front pleats look odd for a casual outfit.
3:33 You definitely have a different definition of Oxfords in mind than I do. Could you elaborate?
Oddly enough it's just what Quoddy calls this pair! It's their take on Oxfords according to them
That is odd. The style reminds me of a boat shoe, but the lacing should make it a derby.
I promise I don't hate this channel, I'm just vocal about my criticisms cause I think if nobody speaks up the product never gets better. I do like u Michael.
That being said; dude, if you're gonna do a lookbook video bring some inspiration to the table. Blue jeans and a white shirt with leather shoes. Black on black with leather shoes. The white on white was different but 🤷🏼♂ I thought you were gonna start being more adventurous!

I have that filsonxlevis jacket somewhere in my apartment and it's bonkers that they don't still have that going. It's not like Filson's scaled back operations since 2011.
Yeah honestly so true -- no idea why neither brand just kept running with it
So you got the majestic for layering
Who makes the bag?
1733!
3:20 idk i like the baggy look, i know that's trendy now but i think a little wider they look more relaxed.
It's not a bad look but at certain angles it does look like I'm wearing a bag...
Perfect styling self awareness.
That's the aim!

Not a pullover fan but the selvedge line hem is pretty fun

I actually like the white trousers outfit but I’d maybe switch the t-shirt for an olive colour
Those leather jackets were actually a good fit IMO ? the slight drop on the shoulder is often intentional
Bro those jackets fit you perfectly you tripping
Well this is fantastic feedback, thanks!
I’ve been rocking a shorter hem/no break. Aft first I didn’t know and I’ve kind leaned into it. It feels really European and care free. Who knows. Maybe I’ll regret it. Lots of break is back but I don’t like that.

No break squad! I've moved onto a tiny break for the most part
The pullover may have different sized shoulders due to the material being factory washed or not washed. Good makers will account for around 1 cm of shrinkage after the first wash.
