What to know about Gramicci
Gramicci makes climbing-derived casual clothing built around the G-Pant and G-Short, cut with a gusseted crotch, roomy leg and integrated webbing belt for unrestricted movement. Founder Mike Graham, a Yosemite Stonemasters climber who built portaledges and harnesses and sewed for Patagonia, started the label in 1982 in Ventura County, California. The range now spans nylon shells, fleece, canvas jackets and packable travel pieces, sold globally through outdoor and streetwear retailers. The brand's business is centred in Japan, where it regularly collaborates with local outdoor and street labels.

How Gramicci fits
Overall fit
runs large
Gramicci is widely described as cut roomy and relaxed by design, with S/M/L pant sizing plus a webbing belt that absorbs a lot of waist variation, so shoppers commonly find their usual size feels a size too big.
Tip: Most people size down one from their usual size unless they specifically want the classic baggy climbing silhouette.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | relaxed and boxy, easy through the chest | Size down unless you want a deliberately oversized layer. |
| Jackets | runs large | relaxed shell and canvas cuts with room to layer | Stick to your usual size if you layer heavily, otherwise size down one. |
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly large | relaxed camp-collar and overshirt shapes, roomy in the body | Consider sizing down if you want a cleaner, less billowy fit. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | boxy with dropped-ish shoulders on many styles | Take your usual size for a loose look, or size down if you prefer a trimmer tee. |
| Trousers & pants | runs large | relaxed to wide through hip and thigh with a gusseted crotch | Size down one from your normal waist size — the integrated webbing belt covers a wide waist range. |
