Japanese trousers come off climbing routes and patient looms, then onto the street. Gramicci has made the climber's pant since 1982 for the crag and the street. OrSlow weaves slow denim and fatigue pants on vintage looms in Hyōgo. Needles rebuilds flannel shirts and track pants as Keizo Shimizu's accessible streetwear label. The climbing pant forgives what the mirror forgets, which is why it should be sized for movement. Slow looms reward slow years, letting the denim fade on its own schedule.

CMF (Comfy Outdoor Garment) is a Japanese technical outerwear label based in Shibuya, Tokyo, that traces its name to a 1915 Seattle company originally making bedding and down quilts. That name was revived in 2009 by Lost Hills, a Harajuku-based vintage clothing store, and rebuilt as a contemporary outdoor-fashion brand under designer Makoto Okuya. Rather than reproducing vintage American mountaineering gear directly, CMF reinterprets its aesthetics -- boxy silhouettes, utilitarian pocketing, mountain-parka shapes -- using modern technical textiles such as eVent waterproof-breathable fabric and Dyneema, combined with Japanese and Pacific Northwest streetwear influences. Garments typically feature multiple pockets, ventilation panels, sealed zippers and adjustable straps, positioning the brand within the broader 'gorpcore' movement that repurposes technical outdoor clothing as everyday fashion. Though the brand's name and founding story reference an American heritage company, CMF today operates as a Japanese label designed and based in Tokyo, distributed through its own e-commerce and a network of international specialty retailers carrying Japanese technical streetwear.
Ventura–Tokyo / Online
Climbing-gear label started in 1982 by Stonemasters climber Mike Graham ('Gramicci') in a Ventura, California garage; known for the gusseted G-Pant and shorts, later revived and expanded commercially through a Japanese licensee.
Best for Climbing pants The climber's pant since 1982
Gramicci grew out of Yosemite's 'Stonemasters' climbing scene of the 1970s. Mike Graham, one of that group, began designing his own woven climbing shorts around 1980 and founded the Gramicci brand in a Ventura, California garage in 1982. His nickname came from an earlier stunt: some Stonemasters had attempted the first all-Italian-style ascent of Yosemite's Half Dome despite none of them being Italian, and adopted Italianate nicknames - Graham became 'Gramicci.' The brand's signature detail is a diamond-shaped gusset at the crotch, borrowed from kung-fu trouser construction. In more recent decades the label has had a strong second life in Japan, where licensed production has kept the archive-inspired silhouette in regular rotation.
