A unique feature was done with Granted in a comic by artist John Christmas.

The main character, Aquanaut Zero is based on the facial characteristics of one of the designers here at Granted. This story takes place deep in the waters of the ocean were there is tension with deep sea creatures.  Aquanaut Zero battles against huge Octopus monsters that are taking over the base down below.

If you look carefully at some of the scenes they feature our very own  Ainu Sweater . Wear one of these and feel like a super hero!

John Christmas is the Artist on BARACK THE BARBARIAN: THE FALL OF RED SARAH as well as providing cover artwork for the first issue of JERICHO: Season 3. He also provided artwork for The Pekar Project. You can see what else he's up to here .

Granted has collaborated with Japanese private label brand called Warehouse.

Warehouse is famous for their collaboration with the Lee jeans brand and their contemporary American work wear style. Warehouse is currently sold in their private stores all over Japan ( 8 locations in total).

Our collaboration incorporates their vintage taste while still keeping with the Granted look. The shop staff at Warehouse have put their own styling with these great looking hand-knit sweaters. Here's their stylish website and blog.
