Aqueous Skirt

The Aqueous is a heavy, fluid, knee-length skirt with large hip pockets and belt loops. The name refers to its smoothly-flowing drape and swirling seamlines.

Made in the USA of imported fabric.

Style

• Two large hip pockets
• Distinctive spiralling seams
• Heavy-weight, for stable pockets and better privacy
• A fluid, natural drape—despite the weight
• Belt loops (6)
• Length: 21.5" / 54.5 cm
• Colors: Black, Purple, Grey

Materials

• Main fabric: 6-ounce plain weave
  • Linen gives it a natural texture and durability
  • Rayon gives it excellent drape and prevents wrinkles
  • Plain weave is the simplest of weaves: a simple over-under pattern that produces a strong fabric that's the same on each side. Contrast with twill, the weave that produces diagonal lines and is used in denim (and our Unaligned Skirt).
  • About half the weight of jeans denim
  • 55% linen, 45% rayon
• Lining: 11-ounce ponte di roma
  • Ponte di Roma is a style of knit that's smooth and stable (less stretchy) compared to other knits
  • At 11 ounces per square yard, it's quite weighty
  • The unexpectedly fluid drape of this heavy fabric is due to the rayon content and the ponte knit style
  • 67% rayon, 28% nylon, 5% spandex
• Side zipper: YKK nylon coil
• Closure: metal hook-and-bar

Note: Initially in some units the hook and bar closure was not anchored well enough to the waistband and could eventually tear loose. As of February 2024 all units have the area properly reinforced and are free of the issue.
