HebTroCo originally started with moleskin trousers & this wonder fabric continues to be a key part of our range.
It’s warm, soft, looks great and wears well.
No, moleskin isn’t made from moles…
Moleskin does not COME from moles, it just feels like a mole’s skin.
This tough heavy fabric is made from densely woven cotton, initially looped, then sheared which creates a short soft pile on the upper side. It looks and feels a bit like chammy and some sorts of velvet, but is actually far tougher than either.
Moleskin is popular for hunting, building work, and countryside use due to its ability to shrug off damage, keep clean, be “quiet” in use, as well as being breathable, and comfortable even when wet.
Originally developed in the industrial days, moleskin was used as an alternative to woollen cloth for jackets and trousers. It was chosen for its warmth and hard wearing qualities. Later it was adopted by country people for its ability to resist thorns as well as the cold wind.
Warm and wind resistant. Our moleskin garments are ideal for autumn, winter and early spring wear. They’re durable and tough, and ideal for outdoor use whatever the weather.
Finished with natural buttons, not plastic.
People tried to put us off. They told us about the trouble and expense of using UK-made buttons… but we ignored them.
It turns out they were right… Our buttons are about 50 times more expensive than a plastic mass-produced button from overseas.
They are also 50 times better.
Our buttons are made of Corozo palm nuts. They are harvested from sustainable rainforests in Ecuador, where trees are planted and maintained rather than being cut down.
This means that our nuts are green and they are very special. As well as being natural the material is tough, takes colour well and gives a pleasing marbled effect.
Ed is wearing size medium in the photos. He’s 5’8″ and 10.5 stone.
Sizing is comparable with our other shirts, overshirts, sweatshirts and jackets. This is an overshirt so will work over a sweatshirt or jumper as well as with just a t-shirt (or in the buff matron). You don’t need to size up.

Moleskin Overshirt / Morecambe...
Jim Levack –
My wife stumped up for this on my birthday after I fannied around and missed the boat first time round – so had to wait for the re-stock.
I’m 5,11 and a medium and this fits perfectly (m). I’ve been out and about in it while others are reaching for their down-filled uniwear and it’s been lovely and warm.
It looks the bxxxxxxx (business) worn smart or casual if that makes sense, but the best part is the colour.
The Morecambe Grey seems to change with the light to match whatever you’re wearing underneath. With a white T it’s grey and then with a blue T it’s a cross between grey and green. Who knows what colour it actually is?
Attention to detail is on the button… literally. They’re proper old skool, while the collar is the perfect size and will always be a classic.
I haven’t been caught in rain yet so it’ll probably need a waterproof over the top, but IT IS thorn-proof – which my city-dwelling mates seem to love as a selling point.
Overall a cracking piece of kit I reckon I’ll have for years to come.

I am a 6ft man of a weight you get to by enjoying yourself a little to much in life so went for a 2xl I am not saying I and some sort of whale but I can see it on the horizon.

The V2 Mole skin over shirt
It is without doubt my greates clothing purchase EVER I don’t want to wear the thing out just in case but will have every belief it would take a night in a dirty rock bar in its stride 7 days a week and come out looking far better than you would .
I am hooked will be buying more from this fine company next pay day .

A really outstanding over-shirt. The small fits me perfectly (5’10”, 155 lbs/176 cm, 70 kg; light-framed old dude). Just has a beautiful feel and you know it’ll be rock-solid for a long time–in common with other products from these guys. The colour is a pale grey (with just a hint of steely blue to my eye) and will look good paired up with jeans, khaki chinos and more. Getting “out of season” now: it is June, so I have to hope! Though maybe a light summer jacket for when the sun goes low? (or doesn’t bother that day at all!) When the season comes, this shirt will be a fixture for me.
