GRAMICCI

Thermal insulation quilted vest

DEEP LAUREL

The clue is in the name with the Thermal Insulation Quilted Vest. With a lightweight, water-resistant outer shell and a high-density insulated lining, it’s one of those really useful pieces that works just as well over a tee or shirt as it does stashed under a big coat. Just right for when you need a bit of extra warmth, without the weight. It’s packable too.

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.
