The Tale of The Iron Snail Pin

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.

Fantastic jacket!

This isn’t mine but I think my brother really loves it. 5/5

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.

The Mammoth Woolen Jacket

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.

Customer service is top notch. All emails were promptly replied, and updates were give all along the way… very cool to be apart of the process!

The jacket is an amazing design, with superior materials, and is an unbelievable value. Not much else to be said. I will be purchasing more 🐌 in the future that’s for sure!

In short, The Mammoth is an excellent jacket by every measure. It makes my Filson Mackinaw look flimsy by comparison and I love all the extra features.

I took a size S based on the measurements and Michael's recommendation based on my Filson size. The jacket fits well, with room for serious layering underneath. The sleeves are a touch long but they don't ride up when I raise my arms.

The lining makes The Mammoth easy to slip on and very comfortable to wear. I tried it on over a short sleeve t-shirt and it wasn't itchy at all. I can't speak for how well the Wind Wall works in winter weather at the moment but it does make my torso quite toasty. The main body fabric is thick, dense, and the pattern goes with pretty much everything. I'm also a big fan of the buttons, they feel dense and they have a nice shine to them. I love how big and functional the locking collar is. Once it's flipped up it feels impenetrable.

QC/finishing could use a little work. I couldn't spot any issues in terms of construction but I spent a good while getting rid of all the loose threads. The collar button also came loose after I used the locking collar for the first time but I just sewed it back on.

The biggest issue I have with the jacket is how loose the storm cuffs are. Like other customers have stated, the storm cuffs don't really close around my wrists and there's actually a good amount of space between my wrist and the storm cuff. I'd like to see the storm cuffs tightened up on future versions of The Mammoth. Also, the key clip is secured to the jacket with just a single line of stitching. I’m sure it will hold but it doesn't really inspire confidence. That’s just a nitpick though.

Despite these issues, The Mammoth is an outstanding jacket. If you’re considering purchasing this type of jacket, The Mammoth should be at the very top of your list.

I received my mammoth jacket and have had a chance to wear it for over a week now. Comparing to my Filson Mackinaw cape coat, there is simply no comparison.

The mammoth jacket is incredibly dense and warm and I am astonished at the sheer weight of it whenever I pick it up. It is overwhelmingly solid and robust, yet I do not feel restricted in any significant way while wearing it.

Stylistically, it exceeds all marks as well. I look like a superstar when I put it on, and it's quality is so outwardly apparent that strangers will regularly comment on it, asking where they can get one. Additionally, the fit is right on the money. Perfectly true to size.

If I had to nitpick anything, it would be that a large amount of loose thread-ends were present on the jacket when I received it, but a few minutes with some scissors sorted it out to no detriment.

In terms of improvements, the biggest candidate is the storm cuffs. They could certainly be much tighter around my wrists in order to properly keep the warm air in. The launch model has rather loose storm cuffs as reported by myself and one other jacket owner I have spoken too.

You will never regret purchasing one, and you should definitely watch out for the next drop if you are at all interested in purchasing one.5 stars.

I love my Mammoth jacket although it’s been to warm to wear it much. This jacket is warm. Well thought out and looks great. I had been eyeing a Filson or one of the other classic wool jackets but I’m glad I waited.

I absolutely love this thing. The wool is gorgeous, the design is well thought out, it ain’t too heavy but DAMN is it insulating. I know my shit when it comes to coats & this is one of the best!

Love this coat. Currently -10°c (approx 15°F) in Tallinn, and been out with just a t-shirt underneath, and still nice and warm. The construction is impeccable. Handwarmer pockets are well shield from the wind, and the vertical pockets are tall enough for a pint can. The clip is great for a reflector, probably also good for keys or a badge). Flipping up the collar and buttoning it is the first time I feel I haven’t needed a scarf here. Sure, it doesn’t have all the technical features of my North Face or Didriksons down jackets, but it’s just as warm, in a nice fitted style, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

OK, so this is the most expensive piece of clothing I own now. Do i regret this purchase? Not for one second. It fit great and looks amazing. I have been able to test it against the winds and rain of San Francisco the past few days and it held it's own. I am warm when it is cold outside, and comfy when the sun peaks out through the fog. I expect to have this jacket for the rest of my life, and hopefully leave it for my kids and future grand kids to enjoy long after I am gone.
