Gramicci and nonnative unveil Loro Piana merino wool easywear
Gramicci and nonnative turned Loro Piana’s 365 merino into summer easywear, with a June 20 drop and a sharper 260g/m hand.
Gramicci’s climbing-born ease looked unexpectedly polished when nonnative wrapped it in Loro Piana merino wool. The result was a two-piece Special Delivery for Spring and Summer 2026: WALKER ST EASY PANTS and WALKER EASY SHORTS, both cut from Loro Piana’s “365” fabric and styled less like trail gear than quiet-luxury city uniform.
That is the point of the collaboration. nonnative described the project as its most premium model to date, and the clothes read that way: the signature gusset crotch and webbing belt are still there, but the wool finish changes the mood entirely. Loro Piana’s 17-micron Super 130’s merino has been given a clear-cut treatment to remove surface fuzz, leaving a smooth hand and a faint silk-like sheen that feels closer to tailored trousers than to standard outdoor pants. For 2026, the fabric weight was lifted from 250g/m to 260g/m, giving the cloth a little more body without sacrificing the easy drape that makes these pieces compelling.
The numbers sharpen the appeal. The WALKER ST EASY PANTS, product number NN-P4851, cost 56,000 JPY and came in BROWN and BLACK, in sizes 0 through 4. They were sold through the nonnative shop, nonnative shop Osaka, COVERCHORD Online, COVERCHORD Fukuoka, Gramicci Harajuku, and Gramicci Umeda, a distribution map that places the drop squarely in Japan’s most style-literate retail lanes. The shorts completed the set, keeping the proposition tight and wearable rather than expanding into a full lookbook fantasy.
nonnative’s own timing underscored how strategically this material story is being built. The Special Products lineup listed Gramicci & nonnative LORO PIANA “365” MERINO WOOL alongside other June releases, while the pants product page set the release date at Saturday, June 20, 2026. That follows a Spring and Summer 2025 Loro Piana 365 release from the same partnership, which first introduced the “seasonless” positioning around pants and shorts. The lineage matters: this is no one-off flex, but a steadily refined formula for buyers who want the utility of Gramicci with the finish of clothes that look expensive before anyone checks the label.
