A L’Usine Bleue project:
The ultimate workwear rediscovered
Moleskin is an ancient, very closely woven and dense fabric. After weaving it is brushed on the back and sheared to create a soft and smooth surface. Some thought it resembled the soft fur of a mole – hence the name.
Moleskin is virtually windproof, some even rain-proof. It’s unusually warm relative to its thickness, but still breathes. It has very low friction which reduces wear and ”swish”. Its dense surface protects from pokes, scrapes and sparks. And not least, it’s extraordinarily hard-wearing, which made moleskin the preferred choice for French workwear for almost two centuries.
With the introduction of cheap synthetic materials, moleskin workwear was almost completely forgotten. L’Usine Bleue is proud the reintroduce French moleskin – the ultimate, natural workwear that will last for a lifetime!

Christoffer –
Top quality and they will last forever! The pants will become fantastically comfortable after time even if they were surprisingly soft as new. Wonderful details and great pockets. Love that the pants had an adjustable waist which made them fit perfectly. I bougt the matching jacket, a “working class hero”-suit. It’s been a long time since I felt this stylish (and yet very practical)! Gorgeous purchase! (Bought size 42, I am 175 cm tall and my weigh 67 kg).
