And why is a CountryMe moleskin garment a must have in your little persons wardrobe? The

answer is simple. Moleskin fabric is mint! It offers everything mothers dream of in a child’s

garment. Durable, yet soft and comfortable, practical but still stylish enough for that formal

occasion. Warm but not too heavy. It washes and washes... and bingo ! You probably don’t need to

iron it either!

If you are an animal lover like myself you will be pleased to know that no Moles are harmed when

moleskin is made. The name merely comes from the feel of the fabric. So what exactly is Moleskin if

you don’t get it from farming Moles?

Basically it comes from a cotton bush. The raw cotton is woven

into yarn and the yarn then woven into fabric known as a backer. The next bit is interesting as it is

the shearing of the fabric that creates the soft pile , like a moles skin!! And there you have the

name.! The thickness of the yarn and the density of the weave determines how heavy the fabric is.

CountryMe uses 340gm moleskin which we feel is the ideal weight for a child while still being warm

and comfortable. There is nothing worse than buying something for your child and they won’t wear

it. Rest assured, going on feedback from our customers, they won’t want to take them off! We

probably associate moleskin with high country farmers and the Australian Outback and when you

think about it, what two extremes! And this one fabric serves both purposes with its enduring

qualities. It was also used by armies for uniforms up until the early nineties ( just a wee interesting

fact for you)

CountryMe only sources genuine Jumbuck moleskin fabric and uses superior quality trims such as

the YGC metal zip, thread, and the CountryMe brass button ensuring the high standard of our

garments are never compromised. Our Moleskins come in four colours:

Taupe - Olive - Mocha - Beige

Team them up with a CountryMe Belt and a CountryMe shirt and your young one will be set to go

for any occasion or maybe just out to the paddock with Dad.
