Item Details
Moleskin fabric is commonly used to make trouser, also referred to as "moleskin", that are similar to jeans in terms of cut and construction.
They similarly started as working men's wear, but are now also much more widely worn.
West German Army uniforms from the 1960's until the early 1990 were made of moleskin fabric in a grayish olive- drab color, but this German moleskin was not sheared and thus had a flat, smooth outer side.
It was nonetheless a tough densely woven material strongly resistant against wind and abrasion.
