Taking travel shorts to the next level We're going to go out on a limb and say that shorts don't come more comfortable than these ones from Gramicci. The G-shorts sit at the waist, with a relaxed silhouette that allows plenty of room for airflow and movement. An elasticated waistband with integrated belt will ensure the perfect fit every time, while the gusseted crotch means they're perfect for more active outdoor adventures. And when it comes to durability, the G-shorts are going to become tried-and-tested summer favourites. Made in 100% cotton twill, they offer fantastic toughness for weight, and the reinforced lock stitching gives good protection against busted seams.

The size label states Asia and USA size, and like most UK based stores we use the Asian sizing as this is the closest to the true size.

Founded in the early 1980s by free-spirited Yosemite climber Mike Graham, from the outset it was imbued with an independent, adventurous spirit. That had a lot to do with Graham’s associations with the Stonemasters, the original dirtbag climbers who did as much for climbing counterculture as they did for pushing the grades. Unable to find shorts or pants that worked for climbing, Graham simply designed and made his own. The G-pants were the first legwear to feature innovations that are now staple features of technical outdoor clothing, such as a gusseted crotch and an integrated belt. These elements gave unsurpassed freedom of movement. Climbers loved them, but so did California’s bikers, skaters and surfers. Gramicci’s defiant ethos, maverick attitude and stylish yet functional products also meant the brand soon made the leap into streetwear. Today, though Gramicci pants still work well for summer cragging, their simple aesthetic means they’re equally at home in the metropolis too.
