MOLESKIN

Moleskin is a heavy cotton cloth, closely woven.
Its name is said to come from its feel, like the skin of a mole.
In France it was a mainstay of the work jacket.
Pieces that have been worn show faded colour and a softened hand.
Work jackets by Le Mont Saint Michel, Adolphe Lafont and Vulcain sit here alongside trousers and gilets.
Pieces that have sold remain here, as a record.
