Iron Heart 12oz Military Moleskin Western Shirt - Black

This is our classic western shirt, cut from 12oz military-style moleskin fabric. “Moleskin” is characterised by its brushed surface (which mimics the velvety feel of a mole’s fur), creating a fabric that is both substantial and soft, offering comfort and warmth in the colder seasons. 

Weighing a hefty 12oz, this moleskin takes inspiration from vintage European military fabrics, similar to a German army moleskin. This means it's woven tighter and thicker than our previous moleskin fabrics, and is less heavily brushed to retain a little stiffness. To create a vintage military aesthetic, it's woven using sulphur-dyed yarns, allowing the colour to mellow with wear for a muted, timeworn appearance. Finished with tonal stitching and black heavy-duty snap fastenings.
