Summary

  • Gramicci is launching its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, “Original Freedom,” on February 6, blending its 1982 California climbing roots with modern technical performance
  • The collection prioritizes heavy-duty, sustainable materials, featuring Hemp Twill plaid shorts and a new 9oz. Rugged Canvas utilized for carpenter-style pants and mid-century inspired garage jackets
  • Highlights include the Ultra Light packable series, water-repellent Guide gear, and a 90s-inspired revival of the Swell Pants, all centered around the brand’s signature diamond-shaped gusset design

Gramicci returns to its roots for Spring/Summer 2026 with a collection titled “Original Freedom,” bridging the gap between its 1982 Ventura garage origins and the contemporary streets of Tokyo. This season, the brand pays homage to its “dirtbag days” by introducing a sophisticated blend of archival silhouettes and technical evolution.

Leading the seasonal narrative is a focus on heavy-duty natural materials. Sustainable Hemp Twill makes a significant return in the form of jumbo plaid G-Shorts and relaxed trousers. Workwear influences are equally prominent, highlighted by the new 9oz. Rugged Canvas used for the carpenter-style Taos Pants and the mid-century inspired Taos Canvas Garage Jacket.
Innovation continues with the Ultra Light series, which utilizes micro-ripstop nylon for packable performance, and the Guide Collection, featuring water-repellent fabrics for active outdoor use.

Fans of 90s nostalgia will find the revival of the Swell Pants in shadow plaid particularly striking. The collection also honors the iconic Gramicci Pant, originally born from founder Mike Graham’s modification of “Kung fu pants” to include the now-signature diamond-shaped gusset.

The full range arrives February 6.
