In UK English, Moleskin is a fabric: often cotton or a cotton mixture, with a raised nap. Corduroy also has a raised nap which runs in long lines. Moleskin is just a uniformly raised pile. Typically, it is more hard-wearing than velveteen, though the weave is similar. It was used for casual trousers to be worn in the country.
It's odd, because the Moleskine notebooks do not have a raised pile at all.
