Quality Thomas Cook Moleskins at Allingtons
Densely woven cotton with a soft nap that holds a crease where denim won't. Thomas Cook moleskin jeans and trousers in stretch, slim, tailored and comfort-waist cuts, men's, women's and kids'.
What Peached Moleskin Actually Feels Like
Moleskin is a dense cotton woven so tightly that the surface takes on a soft nap, and Thomas Cook peaches theirs to bring that nap up further. The result feels closer to suede than to canvas, and it holds a crease properly, which is why moleskin gets worn to things denim would be too casual for.
The stretch version is about 97 per cent cotton with three per cent elastane, at 11oz, so it gives at the knee and the seat without going baggy. Most pairs run the brand's elastic comfort waist, double stitching through the stress points, rust-proof hardware and a YKK zip.
Moleskin Jeans
The jean cuts are the deeper half. Men's stretch moleskin comes in sand, navy, black, stone, greystone, whiskey, blue steel and rich brown, in a five-pocket shape with deep front pockets and twin back belt loops. A slim moleskin jean sits under it for a narrower leg, and a tailored version for anyone who wants the fabric without the workwear shape.
Women's stretch moleskin uses the Wonder fit in mid-rise regular, with a slim or a bootleg finish, in 32 and 34 legs. Children's sizes run in stone, sand, navy and greystone. The denim side of the range, along with the wool-blend pairs, is in Thomas Cook country jeans.
Moleskin Trousers and the Tailored Cuts
The trouser cuts are the dressier end. Tailored moleskin trousers come in greystone, sand and navy, with a plainer moleskin trouser alongside them in sand, navy, greystone and dark khaki. There is also a tailored comfort-waist trouser in camel and dark navy for anyone after a softer waistband.
Tailored means a cleaner line through the thigh and a straighter fall from the knee, which is the difference between moleskin that reads as workwear and moleskin that reads as dressing properly. The wider Thomas Cook pants range carries these alongside the cord, ponte and lyocell styles.
