FAQs

What does 'Japanese/Asia sizing' mean for these shorts?

It means the sizing is based on Gramicci's recommendations for the Japanese and Asian markets, which often run smaller than standard US sizing. It is recommended to consult the specific size chart provided by the retailer.

How do I adjust the nylon webbing belt?

The belt is a continuous loop. To tighten, pull the end of the webbing. To loosen, pull the buckle mechanism while holding the webbing.

Can these shorts be worn for formal occasions?

No, the G-Shorts are designed for outdoor and casual wear. Their functional design and relaxed fit make them unsuitable for formal settings.

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

The diamond gusset is specifically engineered to allow for a greater range of motion, providing the wearer with the freedom to move, climb, and stretch without restriction.

How much storage space do the pockets offer?

The front pockets are described as 'deep-reach,' intended to securely hold items like a phone or wallet. The rear pockets are secured with velcro.

Are these shorts waterproof?

No, the shorts are made from 100% organic cotton twill and are not waterproof. They offer breathability and comfort but not protection from rain.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight/loose at the waist.

Adjust the built-in nylon cinch belt for a tighter or looser fit. Ensure you are referencing the correct size chart, as Gramicci uses Japanese/Asia sizing.

Limited range of motion during strenuous activity.

Verify the shorts are the correct size. The diamond gusset is designed for maximum mobility; if significant restriction is felt, consider if the fit is too small or if a different style might be more suitable.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry. Some stiffness can be expected with durable twill fabrics, which will soften with subsequent wears and washes.
