Sometimes considered the French counterpart to American denim, Moleskin is a durable, densely woven material made of pure cotton (no Moles were harmed in making this jacket). It's then sheared on one side for a soft, suede-like feel. The rich nap of the soft-brushed fabric feels luxury, though the tough material was original used as rugged work wear in steel mills during the late 1800s. With the modern-day surfer in mind the Moleskin Worker Jacket is the perfect versatile layer aginst the elements.
