Gramicci

For over thirty years Gramicci has maintained its vision to create practical, purposeful clothing and are now looking ahead to the future with the introduction of new fabrics and jacket styles that consider modern trends without straying too far away from the brands established aesthetic. Pyjama style Linen Cotton G-Pants and matching G-Shorts have been recently introduced in a madras check pattern complete with signature details such as a Flex-fit waistband and deep reach pockets alongside Packable G-Shorts constructed from a fabric developed by Komastu Serien, a leading fabric manufacturer based in Japan.

Earthy tones of brown, tan and olive stone are favoured for styles such as the Organic G Pants and Rockin’ Sport Pants and are no doubt inspired by the colours of nature, available in fabrics such as durable fine wale corduroy and an organic cotton that indicates the brands efforts to improve its sustainability status. Black editions offer a go-to shade that can be easily mixed and matched to suit a variety of occasions, whilst flexfit waistbands, deep reach side pockets and gusseted crotch inserts all portray Gramicci’s origins within designing unrestrictive apparel for rock climbing. Likewise,

 

the Original G Shorts include the same purposeful features and are available in brighter shades of orange spice and harbour blue.

For their own take on more traditional hiking and activewear trousers, the Original G Stretch Ripstop Pant uses a hard wearing lightweight blend of nylon ripstop and spandex to enhance the already practical silhouette. And for anyone seeking natural warmth and insulation, the Wool Blend Gramicci Pants feature a subtle checkered pattern which presents a more refined look influenced by traditional menswear.

Gramicci was founded in the 1980s in Yosemite, California, by Mike Graham and some climbing friends. The team developed pioneering detailing that redefined climbing clothing through improving mobility and adding well thought through finishes. They developed the famous diamond shaped gusset which increases movement as well as built in nylon belts that can easily be adjusted with one hand. Gramicci carry through their established reputation into their division line and are still driven by ‘freedom-of-movement’ and outdoor pursuits.
