Gramicci | T-Shirts

In 1974 Mike Graham joined a team of climbing buddies who had made their way to Yosemite National Park and become recognised as ‘The Stonemasters’ - some of the most influential, pioneering and left-wing climbers in history. Living off-grid, developing their own style of climbing and creating what is now recognised as ‘modern big wall climbing’, the team included names such as John Long, Rick Accomazzo, and Lynn Hill. In need of portable tents that could be secured to a cliff wall, Graham began to manufacture and sell his own ‘portaledges’ to the local climbing community and quickly progressed into developing his own shorts suited to climbing boulders. Equipped with unique, innovative details such as integrated webbing belts, deep-reach pockets and a gusseted crotch for greater range of movement, Graham soon established Gramicci as his own brand.

Favouring un-dyed durable fabrics that allowed for personalisation, the full-length ‘Gramicci G Pant’ was the second style to be introduced during the 1980’s and has remained at the core of each collection ever since. Capturing the spirit of freedom, Gramicci draws inspiration from nature and those daring to push the limits of what is possible in outdoor pursuits. Performance fabrics are utilised to elevate pieces into the up-market outerwear division but a familiar, often humble, character has remained during the development of jackets, cargo pants, mountain parkas and insulating fleece over shirts. Blending comfort, function and technology, each style carries the original Yosemite attitude with practical features at the core.
