Grease Point Workwear

My favorite easy bottoms are the climbing pants and shorts of Battenwear. They haven’t made a run of them for a while, so I’ve been seeking out integrated ratchet belt options elsewhere. Got a couple from tech brands but found another heritage brand. And also got a Hensley I love from them. Good stuff!

The ratchet mechanism here is not quite optimal but still good. The platonic ideal for an easy bottom is a ratchet belt that easily loosens and tightens. Take note Iron Heart: having to knot and unknot drawstrings is too much work for “easy” shorts

@mclaincausey Gramicci makes great integrated belt pants and shorts.

I’ve been eyeing GPWW easy pants for a long time though.

@jordanscollected agree on gramicci and have been similarly eyeing grease point off and on

Brock made me aware that their workshop is apparently 2-3 blocks from my office - i had no idea

@GraemeE not anymore!
They just moved down closer to me.

12th and Division.

@Brock between them and ship john your hood is going to be quite the spot

[mclaincausey]

Thank you for the tip @jordanscollected ! Looking.

@mclaincausey pretty sure Gramicci is considered the original in this design. I have their winter twill pant and they are great.

90s gramiccis were cut really weird with like the same rise in the front and back. Hopefully they’ve fixed the issue?

[jordanscollected]

@sabergirl my pant’s definitely have a higher rear rise. Hard to measure perfectly with the crotch gusset.

It’s pretty obvious Battenwear borrowed heavily. They look awesome.

@GraemeE right?! They’re closing in on me
