Stridewise.com Expert | Videographer & Founder | The Iron Snail
Expertise: Denim, outerwear, leather, menswear, men’s footwear
Michael Kristy, also known as “The Iron Snail” or just Mr. Snail, is a lover of all things clothing.
Mr. Snail really dipped his toes into heritage clothing in 2018 and since then has started a Youtube channel, an Instagram, TikTok, and a clothing brand.
He has become renowned across the industry for his incredibly in-depth videos on his YouTube channel, which has skyrocketed to over 100,000 subscribers, and his successful online clothing brand. (Stay subbed to his YouTube channel because his apparel sells out the instant it drops.)
He’s obsessed with how things are made and why, and his obsession knows no bounds. He’s also a huge fan of Stridewise and Nick English. He considers himself and Nick to be friends, even though they don’t hang out enough.
