Moleskin polycotton work pants - Black

Le Laboureur

Work pants designed by Le Laboureur in the 1950s. Their elasticated waistband provides ease of movement. The 100% cotton moleskin fabric, 400 g/m² for the hydrone blue version, is the emblematic image of the "blue boiler suit" that dressed railway workers, among others. The heavier black moleskin (420 g/m²) is a blend of 67% cotton and 33% polyester. For welding work, we prefer the 100% cotton hydrone blue moleskin because it does not melt. For your comfort, consider ordering in a larger size than your pants.

Product History

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. Due to its protective qualities, it became the premier material for workwear, originally worn by workers in the Sheffield steelworks in England. Across the Channel, it became the "blue overalls" of our steam locomotive engineers and drivers.
Today, the Compagnons du Devoir's corporate clothing is made from this sturdy canvas. For the latter, there are color codes by trade: ecru for stonemasons, black for carpenters and roofers, blue for masons or shipwrights.
