Moleskin is a heavy cotton fabric that is woven and then shorn to create a short, soft pile on one side, giving it a suede-like appearance and feel. It is not made from the skin of moles, but its name is due to the soft brushed hand of the fabric, which is similar to mole fur. Moleskin is a densely woven fabric that is windproof and durable, making it suitable for outdoor wear. It is commonly used to make trousers, jackets, vests, and shirts. Moleskin fabric is also used in medical applications, such as to prevent or treat blisters. Moleskin is easy to maintain and does not wrinkle easily. It is a versatile fabric that can vary in density, yarn size, and softness depending on how it is sheared and brushed.
