Properties:
This strangely named fabric takes its backing name from the soft and velvet-like coat of the underground creature the mole, thankfully no moles were harmed in its production. Moleskin is very similar to velvet and has a matte finish with no lustre.
This wonderful trouser weight twill fabric is constructed with a high thread count warp and weft construction, producing a particularly sturdy close-weave fabric. The beautifully smooth sateen/twill weave makes the fabric resistant to the elements, and snag as well as tear-resistant, making it perfect for tough country clothing and outerwear.
The reverse side of Espresso has a brushed velvet-like finish that’s soft and cosy to the touch. Imagine your favourite autumn /winter separates made in this snug fabric.
Team up with our HOH & Yorkshire Tweed range of fabrics for timeless country classics Jeans and chino style trousers, neat skirts and cosy flared midi skirts and pinafore dresses. Use this sturdy and stable fabric for messenger bags and tote bags, holdalls and other bags that need to be strong and sturdy.
Perfect for cosy clothing whether you choose to blend into your country surroundings, or stand out like a country gent or lady in town!
