I've got a tanned mole skin, talk about soft fur. I believe they used to make moleskin coats even.

Moleskin coats are made from woven brushed cotton that is sheared down to look like real mole skin.
Could you imagine how many real moles it would have taken to make a coat

Moles are here year round, I'll trap em poison em they still show up. (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) things

About 500 looks like

Though rarely seen these days, moleskin deserves a special mention in the history of the fur trade. This unique fur was once favoured by British high society, and at the height of its popularity gave value to a pest that was being trapped anyway, thereby satisfying a fundamental requirement of the ethical use of animals: minimisation of waste.
First some clarification: Moleskin, or mole skin, or mole fur, or simply mole, is the fur of moles, and where the fur trade is concerned, specifically the European mole (Talpia europaea). This may sound obvious, but a completely different fabric made of cotton is also called “moleskin”, and is far more common these days.
Moles have never been a great fit for the fur trade because they’re so small – an adult measures only 4.3 to 6.3 inches long. The tiny pelts are cut into rectangles and sewn together into plates which are almost always dyed because natural colours are so variable, making it difficult to find a large number of matching pelts. The most common colour is dark grey or “taupe” (French for mole), but light grey, tan, black and even white have all been observed.
These plates are – or at least were – then made into coats or trousers requiring 500 pelts or more, the lining of winter gloves (fur side in), and a very soft felt for premium top hats. (Cheaper hats used rabbit while everyday hats used American beaver.) Above all, though, moleskin has always been associated with the fronts of waistcoats.

Did you stretch it on a tongue depressor?

In the nineteen teens over a million mole hides a year where used in this country for garments.
Most where imported from Europe until Eastern moles where tried. They were deemed as good as European mole and where then used. Like stated above colors varied. The exception to the the color variance was found in the Townsend mole here in the pacific northwest. They are consistantly black and on an average the largest mole in the US. In the 19 teens a Townsend skin could get 15 cents on the mole market.
Nice part with moles for me is they are worth more then a good beaver and I don't need to skin then. Know a fellow near portland that catches then for 3 times the value of an average beaver and catches well over 1000 a year. Good money but limited market

Queen Victoria of England was the one that started the mole garment market if I remember right. During her reign England was over run with mole. She had a coat made from mole skins which she wore in public. Story goes that if the queen wore something everyone wanted the same type garment to wear.
