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.
