Moleskin is very popular in the agricultural industry in Australia too, in the form of pants, especially on outback cattle stations. All my work pants are moleskin because of the comfort and durability the fabric offers.

hi there! where'd you get the grey blazer you're wearing here? would love one like that. looks soft. what's it made of?

@gentlemenscholarsclub Жыл бұрын

It's more of a slate blue--an old Havana model from Suitsupply circa 2016ish. I believe it's just wool in a winter finish, so it does have that soft look and feel.

Moleskin with its soft velvety finish actually feels like a mole,hence the name.

Great video. There is surprisingly very little info about moleskin on KZfaq or anywhere on the web. I just purchased several yards of heavy moleskin fabric from Brisbane Moss in the UK. I'm going to make a couple chore coats for the winter. I'm curious if you know how moleskin should be washed.

They usually call for dry cleaning on moleskin garments that are already made up, but I've seen that they also can be washed on gentle or hand washed inside out if trousers. For tailored items, dry cleaning is probably safest.

do you prefer a dressier cut for your moleskin or a 5-pocket cut? Same for your corduroy.

@gentlemenscholarsclub 3 жыл бұрын

Since I wear tailoring almost always, the more formal or dressier cut.

Good information. What kind of turtleneck is that you have on?

I think this is a SuitSupply one in merino wool.

Interesting but the sound on this video is horrendous. Gotta fix that, mate

There's also summer weight moleskin.

@gentlemenscholarsclub 3 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I've not seen it though certainly know about summer cashmere as another example. For me, I guess moleskin still is associated with winter most of all.

*Can Italian Moleskin trousers be altered to be more fitted?*

@gentlemenscholarsclub 3 жыл бұрын

Sure. IMO, because it's a heavier fabric, it drapes better on the legs if it's not too fitted, but if it's too baggy, it can be tailored down. When I think of Italian moleskin, I think of the brand 40 Colori, and theirs are "comfort trousers," so also not slim.

@@gentlemenscholarsclub I want to start wearing trousers like moleskin instead of jeans, like going out etc

Nice info, but horrible sound! The noise is terribly distracting.

This is one of the earliest vids, so sorry about the sound. I discovered by heating/HVAC fan was being picked up by the mic. I think the newest ones are improved.
