Moleskin is a thick cotton cloth, woven and then shaved to make a short and soft pile on one side. In the feel and appearance of his nap is similar to feel or chamois, but less luxurious than velor. This word is also used for clothing made of this cloth, as well as adhesive pads attached to the skin to prevent blisters. Clothing made from moleskin is famous for its softness and durability. Some variants of this very dense cloth are woven as windproof.

Usage
Moleskin fabrics are commonly used for making trousers, also referred to as "moleskins", which are similar to jeans in terms of cutting and construction. They both started out as men's clothing work, but now are also more widely used.
The Western German Army uniform from the 1960s to the early 1990s was made of "moleskin" cloth in grayish gray, but the German moleskin was not cut so it had a flat, smooth outer side. However, strong and dense webbing materials are very resistant to wind and abrasion.
Medical
Moleskin fabrics can be coated with adhesive and used to prevent or treat foot friction injuries. In the case of blisters, moleskin is cut with a hole in the middle so that the fabric does not adhere to the blister directly. The thickness of the surrounding moles skin protects the blister from further friction.
Audiovisual Production
Moleskin is also commonly used in video and/or audio production when using a lavalier microphone. When further lavalier microphone concealment is required in this type of production, it can be worn underneath the layer or layer of the singer's outfit. This will usually cause the microphone to pick up unwanted noises from the singers clothing that is rubbing against the body and the top of the lavalier. Installing a small piece of moleskin around the microphone body would dramatically reduce the amount of noise created by the singer's outfit and, consequently, reduce the amount of unwanted noise taken by the lavalier microphone.
Military
The Western German Army uniform from the 1960s to the early 1990s was made of "moleskin" cloth in grayish gray, but the German moleskin was not cut so it had a flat, smooth outer side. However, strong and dense webbing materials are very resistant to wind and abrasion.
Military snipers sometimes wrap their rifle stock in moleskin to absorb sweat and prevent slippage.
Variations
Cotton satay is a variant of moleskin. It uses a cheaper short-stranded cotton to create a soft fabric that is relatively fragile and quickly wear out.
