Since
1982 Gramicci
has been making functional clothing for life in the great outdoors. Built for
movement, and loved by countless cultural movements—what started out in a
garage in Ventura, California has traveled to the streets of Tokyo and
beyond. It all started in California in the 1970s, when a new generation of
free-spirited rock-climbers known as the Stonemasters
took residency at Yosemite National Park, pioneering a new way of climbing—with
a strong focus on speed and style. These new methods required a new uniform,
and whilst painter pants and army surplus gear worked to a point—flexibility
was needed. 40 years since the first pair of Gramicci
shorts were sewn together in Mike Graham’s garage, the song remains the
same—it’s hard-wearing, functional clothing, designed with movement firmly in
mind.
