FAQs

How do I know which size to order?

Gramicci apparel and pants are sold in Japanese/Asia sizes. It is recommended to consult the specific size chart provided for the G-Shorts, measuring your waist and comparing it to the listed dimensions. Many users find it helpful to size up.

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While the material is quick-drying, the G-Shorts are not specifically designed as swimwear. They are intended for active outdoor use and casual wear.

What is the main advantage of the diamond crotch gusset?

The diamond-shaped gusset allows for a greater range of motion in the legs and hips, preventing the shorts from riding up or restricting movement during activities like climbing or squatting.

How durable is the nylon webbing belt?

The nylon webbing belt is designed for durability and resistance to abrasion, making it suitable for outdoor use. It can be adjusted easily with one hand.

Can I machine wash and dry the G-Shorts?

Yes, you can machine wash them cold with like colors and tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry. Avoid bleach.

What kind of material are the shorts made from?

They are made from 100% organic cotton in a hard-wearing twill construction.

Troubleshooting

Belt is difficult to adjust

Ensure the webbing is not twisted. Try loosening the belt completely before re-tightening. If the buckle is stiff, a gentle pull while adjusting may help.

Fit seems too tight or loose

Refer to the sizing chart for Japanese/Asia sizing. Consider trying a different size or consulting customer service if unsure.

Pockets feel shallow

The front pockets are designed for deep reach, while the rear pockets offer secure closure with velcro. For carrying larger items, consider a backpack.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Twill fabric can be stiff initially. Continued wear and washing will soften the material. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade cotton fibers over time.
