FAQs

What size should I order if I'm used to US sizing?

Gramicci uses Japanese/Asia sizing. It is recommended to consult the specific size chart provided by the retailer, measuring your waist and inseam, and comparing it to the chart's recommendations for Gramicci sizing.

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While the material is durable, these shorts are not specifically designed for swimming. They are made from cotton twill and lack quick-drying properties found in swimwear.

How do I adjust the nylon belt?

The nylon belt is a cinch belt. To tighten, pull the end of the belt. To loosen, release the tension by manipulating the buckle mechanism.

Can I remove the built-in belt?

No, the nylon cinch belt is integrated into the waistband and cannot be removed.

What activities are these shorts best suited for?

They are ideal for outdoor activities such as rock climbing, hiking, camping, and general adventuring, as well as casual everyday wear.

How resistant are the pockets to items falling out?

The deep-reach front pockets are designed to hold items securely. The rear pockets feature velcro tabs for added security, reducing the risk of items falling out during movement.

What is the benefit of the diamond-shaped crotch gusset?

The gusset provides enhanced flexibility and a greater range of motion in the crotch area, preventing restrictions during dynamic activities like climbing or squatting.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or too loose despite ordering correct size.

Adjust the built-in nylon cinch belt for a tighter or looser fit. If the waistband is fundamentally uncomfortable, consider the sizing chart carefully as Gramicci uses Japanese/Asia sizing.

Fabric feels stiff.

This is normal for hard-wearing twill. The fabric will soften and become more comfortable with repeated wear and washing.

Velcro on rear pockets is not holding securely.

Ensure the velcro is clean and free of lint or debris. Gently brush the velcro surfaces. If the issue persists, the velcro may be worn.
