Moleskin Jean

Story

Moleskin jean with a soft touch and a long history

Billy Reid's Moleskin Jean has been core to their collection for over twenty years—barely a blink compared to the history of moleskin itself. Mid-weight with a soft brushed feel, it was one of the first workwear fabrics during the dawn of industry—as hardwearing as it is smooth to the touch. This intriguing detour from denim fits in just as well in its birthplace of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, as it does in the streets of Paris, where it’s been proudly worn by the designers themselves.

About Billy Reid

During a chat with Esquire, Alabama-based designer Billy Reid shared his brand's mission statement by way of his thoughts on today's menswear market, "There's so much stuff out there. You can buy anything you want, any time you want it. So more and more our philosophy has been that we want to make fewer things, better things, more special things, more meaningful things." We couldn’t agree more. Our shared sensibilities have brought us close over the years, and we’ve even made the trek down to Billy’s base of operations near the historic city of Muscle Shoals. Every classic shirt or well-tailored jacket to come out of his studio is the kind of piece that’s truly lasting—sturdily built and designed to never go out of style.
