Sizing
Sizing
- You can expect the jacket to shrink 3 - 5% after washing, the jacket will stretch out after wear.
- Don't buy a jacket that is too small hoping it will stretch, buy your size!
- Are you in between sizes? Buy the larger size.
- Pit to pit is half of your chest size. Aka if the P2P is a 19" that's a 38" chest.
- Sleeve measurement here is from center back to end of cuff. NOT shoulder seam to cuff. That's why it may seem quite long.
The Tale of The Iron Snail
Denim
It's the small things.
Ive got about 4 different denium jackets, this one is by far the nicest. It takes a little bit to losen after the first ware, as all selvage heavyweight items do. Its a good weight, and will be an easy choice for the colder weather. The number of pokets fits my daily use quite well. I shoved a pocketnotes journal into the inside pocket quite easily on one day.
Absolutely beautiful jacket, fit perfectly after being washed and feeling it soften over time is awesome. I'll be wearing it for a long time.
Great fit. Well made. Love it.
I was sad boy when I missed the very first drop of this jacket. I pined and longed for restocks. I think I missed the first restock too. I was quite happy to see it had restocked again and fired away. Couldn’t wait to receive it and boy howdy did it get here fast.
Lemme tell ya about this thing. The jacket is just B-E-A-Utiful. Love the little details. The buttons with the Iron Snail logo is a lovely touch. I even love the pocket flasher that comes on the jacket with the tail of the iron snail. Lastly the patch is very fetching and matches the colors of the jacket incredibly well. I’m still deciding if I’ll sew it on or use elsewhere. All in all it’s instantly become one of my new favorite jackets.
Very much look forward to seeing this one age and fade and conform to me wearing it over time.
That said lemme get out of here and go for a walk…I need to be seen wearing this thing. Smell ya later, snaliens.
Was very happy Michael was able exchange the small I had originally ordered with a medium, which fits perfect. Can't wait to see how it breaks in over the coming months and really look forward to future drops from Iron Snail.
Let customers speak for us
ROOOOOOAAARRRRRR! For real though, this is a beautiful jacket. Old-school, wonderfully textured wool that can take anything you throw at it. The jacket is warm and insulating while still being light enough to layer. Buttons are easy to button and unbutton, I love all of the pockets and where they're placed on the jacket, and you can just tell that this was designed and made with a lot of love, care, and attention to detail. I'm so excited to have this jacket for years to come.
This jacket is a tank, it’s pricy for sure but built to last. New Zealand winters aren’t that harsh but have been trekking around with nothing but this and a tee shirt recently. Pretty true to size, it was end of the run so I didn’t have much choice, but if you want to layer up I might recommend going one size up. Breaking in nicely though and at a pinch could fit another layer under it but honestly don’t think you need it it’s so warm.
Love the product! Michael personally wrote a thank you note on the envelope. I’m blown away! Thank you!
Very nice pin… Great quality. Looks great on the lapel of my jacket!
Great quality, looks awesome. A great addition to my collection that is quite versatile!! It’s already a favorite. Highly recommend!!!
Absolutely love the jacket. Fit has been spot on and overall comfortable for being a wool jacket. The details are impressive and I love the finishing. Others have talked about the storm cuff being tighter which will apparently be improved in future versions, so outside of that I am very pleased with this jacket and would recommend for anyone. Worth every penny!

It's not good........Because it's amazing!
This is the first wool jacket I've ever bought, and I'm glad it was the Mammoth. The jacket is built like a tank, I don't see how I could ever reasonably do anything to damage this beast of a jacket, and I expect that I'll be wearing it for many, many years. Like some people have said, the storm cuffs are slightly loose, but I don't really mind because I layer the jacket with a hoodie anyway (not that I need to because it's so warm) one thing I really appreciate is how the jacket isn't itchy, I have really sensitive skin and flare-ups happen easily with me, but this isn't the case with the Mammoth. This just feels like a product that was made with a lot of love and a lot of attention to detail, and it really shows, this is definitely a jacket that I'm proud to own.
Just received it. My God. It's a hefty boy, and I love it. Arrived in a week. Shipping was super quick. As everyone has already said, it's a great jacket and measurements are accurate. Yes, the storm cuffs are loose, however it allows for extra layering if need be and Michael said it would be fixed for the next iteration.
When I ordered, I asked if it was the new batch, and he was very forthright in telling me it wasn't, and that he could cancel the order and refund it I wanted to wait (spoiler alert: I didn't).
Overall very pleased. Was hoping to get a but it for life jacket and I'm hoping time will prove me right.
P.S, the buttons are HEAVY as shit. Took me 3 mins just to unbutton it lmao. All hail corozo

Very good jacket. I have worn it in both rain and snow no problems. The large pockets are amazing, especially the duck pocket. The wool has a very nice texture and the subtle check pattern is just amazing. I’ve also gotten compliments almost every time I’ve worn it which is pretty cool. As others have mentioned the storm cuffs aren’t as tight as other jackets, but it’s not really a problem for me since it makes the jacket easier to layer compared to jackets with tighter storm cuffs. If I had a suggestion for future versions it would be to add a small interior chest pocket with a button on it for small items like chapstick, train tickets, receipts, etc.
