Gramicci was founded in 1982 by climber, Mike Graham. Gramicci has been innovating and developing technical outdoor clothing since the invention of the ‘freedom of movement’ climbing trousers that came complete with crotch guesset and built-in belt. These trousers were designed to handle the challenges of Mike Graham’s local mountain range, the Sierra Nevada. Though the brand started with climbing, Gramicci is now revered in the world of menswear.
