Moleskins.

Moleskin trousers are what you might see on a man driving a 27-year-old tractor, purring along over the velvety-green groundswells of England, lost in thought, totally unaware that soft rain has been falling on his head for a good 40 minutes.

(Is he working out a scheme to recapture his seat in Parliament? Composing a piece of stubborn music? Mentally laying out a new field of crops? We’ll never know.)

Moleskin Pant (No. J6750) Plain-front moleskin pants cut in the style of mid-century French moleskin work pants. In pure Italian cotton fabric from Duca Visconti, world famous mill of fine corduroys and moleskins. Heavyweight moleskin twill–a supple, hardwearing, windblocking fabric cemented in Western history as the first performance fabric. Garment dyed for vintage look and feel.

Notable features: Four pockets. Military grade melamine buttons. Hook and bar closure and zipper at center front. Extended waistband tab. 1/4” hand pockets. Welted back pockets. Front coin pocket. Double needle stitching throughout. Cotton twill waistband lining and pocketing.

Long-wearing, good-looking, supremely soft and warm. Made in Portugal.
