FAQs

What makes the G-Shorts suitable for climbing?

The diamond-shaped crotch gusset is specifically designed to provide an exceptional range of motion, essential for climbing movements.

How do I adjust the belt?

The shorts feature a built-in nylon webbing belt that can be easily adjusted with one hand using the integrated cinch buckle.

Are these shorts truly unisex?

While designed with a relaxed fit, the adjustable features make them suitable for a wide range of body types. However, sizing is based on Japanese/Asia measurements.

How does the fabric hold up over time?

The shorts are made from a robust 100% organic cotton twill with reinforced lock-stitching throughout, designed for durability and long-term wear.

Can I wear these for everyday activities?

Yes, their relaxed fit, comfortable fabric, and practical pocket design make them ideal for casual wear, hiking, and general outdoor activities.

What does 'Japanese/Asia sizing' mean?

It means the sizes provided correspond to Gramicci's sizing standards for the Japanese and Asian markets, which may differ from US or European sizing conventions. It is recommended to consult the specific size chart provided.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the integrated nylon webbing belt using the cinch mechanism. If the fit is still not ideal, check the Gramicci sizing chart carefully against your measurements, as they use Japanese/Asia sizing.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

This is normal for hard-wearing twill. The fabric will soften with continued wear and washing. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can degrade the cotton fibers over time.

Velcro on rear pockets is not holding securely.

Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free of lint or debris. You can try cleaning the Velcro with a stiff brush. If the Velcro is worn out, it may need professional repair.
