It might sound strange to describe a pair of shorts as legendary, but Gramicci's G-Short has earned that reputation – born on the crags of Yosemite in the 1980s and barely changed since, because there hasn't been a reason to. The gusseted crotch, integrated cinch belt and relaxed cut give you the kind of freedom of movement that makes everything from scrambling to sitting in a pub garden feel genuinely comfortable. The range spans cotton, hemp and nylon variations across solid colours, plaids and washed finishes – different fabrics and aesthetics, same fundamental DNA. The sort of shorts that quickly become the first thing in your bag.
Chlorine-resistant recycled nylon dries fast and handles humid climates whilst the whole short stuffs into its rear zip pocket when you're done swimming.
A 45% hemp blend gives a brilliant durability-to-weight ratio – naturally tough, breathable and soft against the skin, with character that improves over time.
