GRAMICCI

Original freedom sweatshirt

HEATHER ASH

Original Freedom is sort of like the Gramicci mantra. Since 1983 we’ve been making clothes that don’t hold you back—dedicated to hard-wearing, easy-going gear that lets you move, with freedom woven into every design.

It all started in California in the 1970s, when a new generation of free-spirited rock-climbers known as the Stonemasters took residency at Yosemite National Park, pioneering a new way of climbing—with a strong focus on speed and style. These new methods required a new uniform, and whilst painter pants and army surplus gear worked to a point—flexibility was needed. Mike Graham, a Stonemaster with a keen eye for design, set about creating the first true climbing shorts.Since 1982 Gramicci has been making functional clothing for life in the great outdoors. Built for movement, and loved by countless cultural movements—what started out in a garage in Ventura, California has traveled to the streets of Tokyo and beyond.
