Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Moleskin is a heavy cotton fabric, woven and then shorn to create a short, soft pile on one side. The feel and appearance of its nap is suede-like,[1] less plush than velour and more like felt or chamois. The word is also used for clothing made from this fabric.[2] Clothing made from moleskin is noted for its softness and durability. Some variants of the cloth are so densely woven as to be windproof.[3]
Its name is due to the soft brushed hand of the fabric, similar to mole fur.[4] Though mole pelts have been used to make fur clothing, they are not referred to as "moleskin".
Moleskin is also a term for soft, dense adhesive pads stuck to the skin to prevent blisters.[2]
