Gramicci goes wider
Gramicci have always cut their trousers with room to move, but the Nylon Flare Pants take things considerably further. Wide-legged and pleated, these super comfy women's trousers have a fashion-forward silhouette that owes as much to the Tokyo streets that Gramicci now calls home as it does to the Yosemite crags where they started out. The fabric is Gramicci's 'Durable Nylon', recycled from factory off-cuts and woven into a lightweight crosshatch weave that packs down small and moves freely.
- Pleated design
- Wide-leg flare silhouette
- Integrated nylon cinch belt
- Elastic waistband
- Relaxed fit
- 100% recycled nylon (Durable Nylon, woven from factory off-cuts)
Gramicci's sizing can be a little confusing. In our experience it is best to size up once from your usual size. For example, if you're normally a UK Medium, go for a Large here, and check the measurments below if you are unsure.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waist (min) | 64 | 70 | 76 | 82 |
| Waist (max) | 72 | 78 | 84 | 90 |
| Hips (around) | 98 | 104 | 110 | 116 |

As a brand, Gramicci has always been about one thing: freedom. Founded in the early 1980s by free-spirited Yosemite climber Mike Graham, from the outset it was imbued with an independent, adventurous spirit. That had a lot to do with Graham's associations with the Stonemasters, the original dirtbag climbers who did as much for climbing counterculture as they did for pushing the grades.
Unable to find shorts or pants that worked for climbing, Graham simply designed and made his own. The G-pants were the first legwear to feature innovations that are now staple features of technical outdoor clothing, such as a gusseted crotch and an integrated belt. These elements gave unsurpassed freedom of movement. Climbers loved them, but so did California's bikers, skaters and surfers. Gramicci's defiant ethos, maverick attitude and stylish yet functional products also meant the brand soon made the leap into streetwear. Today, though Gramicci pants still work well for summer cragging, their simple aesthetic means they're equally at home in the metropolis too.
