Full details

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for women?
Yes, the Gramicci G-Shorts are designed with a unisex fit and are suitable for all genders.
How do I adjust the built-in belt?
The nylon webbing belt can be easily adjusted by pulling the loose end through the buckle until the desired tightness is achieved. It's designed for one-handed operation.
What does 'diamond-shaped crotch gusset' mean?
It's a diamond-shaped panel of fabric inserted at the crotch seam. This design significantly increases the range of motion, allowing for better flexibility and comfort during activities like climbing or squatting.
How should I determine my size?
Gramicci uses Japanese/Asia sizing. It is recommended to consult the official Gramicci size chart and compare your measurements (waist, hips, inseam) with the product's specific dimensions.
Can I wear these for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are not designed as swimwear. They are intended for climbing, hiking, and casual wear.
What is the difference between G-Shorts and other Gramicci models?
The G-Shorts are considered an original classic, known for their robust twill fabric, functional features like the gusseted crotch and adjustable belt, and a relaxed fit. Other models might vary in fabric, fit, or specific features.
How resistant are these shorts to abrasion?
The hard-wearing cotton twill fabric and reinforced lock-stitching provide good resistance to abrasion, making them suitable for rough outdoor environments.
Troubleshooting
Belt adjuster feels stiff
Ensure the nylon webbing is not twisted. Gently work the adjuster back and forth. If persistent, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the webbing.
Fit seems different than expected
Refer to the Gramicci sizing chart, paying close attention to the Japanese/Asia sizing. Measure your waist and hips to compare with the garment specifications.
Velcro on rear pockets not holding securely
Clean the Velcro surfaces with a brush to remove lint and debris. If the Velcro is worn out, it may need replacement by a tailor.
Fabric feels less soft after washing
Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade cotton fibers over time. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore some softness.
