GRAMICCI
Gramicci 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. Mike Graham, a Stonemaster with a keen eye for design, set about creating the first true climbing shorts and pants. A diamond-shaped gusset found on a pair of kung-fu trousers was added to the crotch for full 180 degree flexibility, whilst hard-wearing canvas kept things sturdy when the going got tough. To keep these Gramicci pieces fully secure, a nylon webbing belt was integrated into the waist. Taking cues from backpack straps, this cunning feature allowed adjustment with one hand, whilst the elasticated waistband kept things comfortable.
