The history of the Gramicci Pant

The roots of Gramicci are in California's 1970s climbing scene. Climbers such as Mike Graham wanted clothing that offered significantly more freedom of movement than conventional workwear or military pants. This led to functional designs featuring a crotch gusset, elastic waistband, and integrated webbing belt.

Gramicci was founded in 1982. Its movement-focused designs eventually traveled far beyond climbing and became part of outdoor, casual, and streetwear culture. That combination still defines the Gramicci Pant today: designed with function in mind, but easy to wear every day.
