Country Road has been building exactly this kind of quiet, considered basic in Australia since 1970, pieces meant to be lived in rather than admired once and put away, and this one carries that instinct through every deep, unhurried pleat. Made sometime in the 1980s, when a corduroy skirt this structured still counted as proper daywear, she has the patience of a piece built to outlast a single season, or several.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo angled pockets sit at the front hip, cut on the diagonal rather than straight, and a third pocket at the back carries its own buttoned flap, tabbed and functional rather than decorative. She closes at centre back with a metal zip and a single plastic button at the waistband, and belt loops run the waist for anyone who wants to cinch her further. The hem falls to 103cm around, full enough that the pleats have real room to swing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44180518961286,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_4077.jpg?v=1784790903","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/coal-seam-country-road-1980s-wide-wale-corduroy-skirt","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
