Etymology
The term 'moleskin' dates back to at least the 18th century. The name derives from the resemblance of the fabric to the soft, velvety fur of the mole, a small burrowing mammal. Originally, moleskin referred to the actual fur of the animal, but over time, it came to describe a type of cotton fabric that mimics this luxurious texture. The fabric gained popularity in the 19th century, particularly in the manufacture of outerwear and military uniforms, due to its durability and insulating properties. By the 20th century, moleskin fabric had entered civilian fashion, frequently used in trousers, jackets, and accessories, combining performance with style.
