Amazon.com Product Description
The revered G Shorts were created by Mike Graham 25 years ago. Working out of his garage, Graham created a pair of shorts that would suit the outdoorsman in all of us, with the now famous gusseted crotch and cinch/release belted G Shorts. From these humble beginnings a cult like following for Gramicci clothing developed around this outdoor short, and the innovative clothing that followed. Coveted for its freedom of movement comfort, quality, and multiple functionality, the G Shorts are an enduring classic, and Gramicci's signature pair of shorts. Perfect for biking, climbing, yoga, or just kicking back after a long day at the office, these are the perfect adventure/lounge shorts. Featuring an 8.5-inch inseam, with the "freedom of movement" gusset crotch, universal fit, flex fit waistband, and easy cinch release belt that made Gramicci famous, the shorts are made to fit comfortably and easily with harnesses, backpacks, and bike seats, with full freedom of movement for any adventure. Made out of 100 percent cotton Dourada fabric, the foundation of Gramicci's Natural Comfort Technology the shorts will wear through years of hard play. Dourada is an incredibly durable, double ring spun stout weave twill that will stand up to rock scrambling, crawling around under the house, trekking off-road through deep woods, and serious backyard lounging for many, many seasons. The fabric is Raspine Finished for a soft hand and Destine Dyed for a flattering worn, weathered look. Specifications: - 100 percent Dourada cotton

About Gramicci
It's the early 1980s: MTV and stone-washed jeans; movies like Bladerunner, Diner, and Ghandi rule. Mike Graham, inspired by a love of surfing and climbing, launched Gramicci from his garage in Southern California. He designed the now-famous gusseted crotch and cinch/release belted G-pant and short that have become legend in the outdoor community. With grassroots efforts and word of mouth, the now cult-like following for Gramicci clothing began to grow. By the late 1990s, Gramicci was coveted for its unique fabrications, worn and weathered finishes, freedom of movement comfort, quality, and multiple functionality. Years later, Gramicci is still dedicated to creating garment dyed, worn-and-weathered clothing built for the sport of living. Forever paying homage to the original designs launched over two decades ago, the company's design team is always busy dreaming about the next generation of Gramicci. With a strong foundation, Gramicci is committed to developing new, natural technology and innovative designs each season.

 Reminds me of the old Gramicci, but not the same October 19, 2008
I had several pairs of gramicci shots (the ones with the quick draw string). I wore them until they had wholes in them. When I found these on Amazon, I was excited - a replacement for my trusty shorts... But. The draw string is smooth - too smooth. It doesn't have enough friction to hold the belt in place. If I pull the string so that it is comfortable for me, add a cell phone on the side, maybe load a pocket with a key or two, the belt slips and down comes the shorts. Funny when you think about it, but not so good for out of the house use. I'd pass on the shorts the next time. Otherwise, a nice pair of shorts.
grammie shorts - beware slippery draw October 11, 2008
I have a had a few pairs of these shorts in the past and they were by far the greatest short I have owned. Durable, comfort, style - just the best.
Unfortunately, I just bought 2 pairs of these shorts and the built in draw belt seems to be made of a different material than my past grammies or the buckle is different - both pairs loosen up quickly and require constant tightening. It is really maddening and frustrating.
This is a real drag. I suggest you consider this problem before purchase.
 Old stand-by with new belt September 10, 2008
I bought these for my husband to replace his favorite old, much-loved Gramicci shorts. He also has owned several pairs of the long pants in the same style over the years and wears them all the time. His only concern about the new shorts was that the belt material has changed and is much slicker and thinner than the old grosgrain belt, so it doesn't hold as well. The jury is still out, but I may have to replace the new belt to keep the pants snug around the waist.
Make your summer more comfortable July 14, 2008
If you are like me, you have tried lots of different shorts. Different brands, different materials. These original Grammicci shorts are the most comfortable shorts you will find (once you have worn them a couple of months). If I am not going to be getting wet or jogging, you will find me wearing these.
My only complaint is that they eventually give out sooner than I would like. I am not ready to let go of them when my wife says she has patched a pair for the last time. Like any good cotton canvas-type pant, the longer you wear them, the better they feel. About the time they are soft as silk, they fall apart.
 What a great hiking short June 10, 2008
Simplicity is the order of the day with this short - tough,comfortable, basic. How many times have you snagged yourself on the gusset in the pocket of your overly-fancy hiking short? Not with the Gramicci short. This dude was out hiking or climbing when they went to hand out the stupid fancy features!
If I could make it better I would find a way to make the right pocket where my keys and pocket knife and change tougher. Other than that, this is my favorite short - no question.
