History of moleskin : Moleskin is to Europe what denim is to the United States. This very dense and tight cotton weave, related to satin, evokes leather due to its finish covering it. The origin of the word comes from the English term "mole skin" which literally means "mole skin" in reference to the feel of the material. For its protective quality it became the prime material of the workwear that originally equipped the workers of the steelworks of Sheffield in England. Across the Channel it became "the boiler suit" of our mechanics and steam locomotive drivers. Nowadays it is from this robust canvas that the corporate clothing of the Compagnons du Devoir is made. For the latter there are color codes by profession: ecru for stonemasons, black for carpenters and roofers, blue for masons or marine carpenters. Resistant, with beautiful wear, its canvas adapts to you and becomes like a second skin after a few wears.
