Mole skin?


Did you know that “moleskins/moleskines,” the fabric pads, the trousers, and the notebooks are not, nor have they ever been, made of the skin of moles? It’s true!

The little pads in the center of adhesive bandages are, and have always been, made of mole skin (the skin of moles, I mean). It’s bleached, of course, but there you go. It’s just one mental leap away from irony!
