Description

Sometimes considered as the French counterpart to American denim, Moleskin is a durable, densely woven material made of pure cotton (no Moles were harmed in making this jacket).

It's then sheared on one side for a soft, suede-like feel. The rich nap of the soft-brushed fabric feels luxury, though the tough material was original used as rugged work wear in steel mills during the late 1800s.

With the modern-day surfer in mind the Moleskin Worker Jacket is the perfect versatile layer aginst the elements.

Despite the name, Moleskin contains no actual mole fur—it's 100% cotton! The name comes from its velvety, matte surface, which apparently resembles the coat of a mole.

Before denim took over as the workwear staple, Moleskin was the fabric of choice for European labourers, artisans, and tradesmen. Worn by French railway workers and stonemasons as early as the 19th century, it was prized for its incredible durability and comfort—tightly woven to block out wind and cold, then brushed for a soft, broken-in feel.
