A gi is a BJJ academy's identity on the mat and a brand's best-selling product. Custom gis with your logo turn every student into an ambassador, and a well-made gi earns loyalty that lasts for years. Choosing the right BJJ gi manufacturer is where that starts.
Choices you will make with your BJJ gi manufacturer
| Choice | Options |
|---|---|
| Jacket weave | Single weave, pearl weave or double weave |
| Pants fabric | Cotton twill or ripstop, with rope or elastic drawstring |
| Colours | White, blue, black and custom colours (check competition rules) |
| Collar | Firm, reinforced collars resist grips |
| Reinforcement | Extra stitching at armpits, knees and stress points |
| Branding | Embroidery, woven or printed patches, sleeve and pant prints |
Branding options from a BJJ gi manufacturer
- Embroidery: durable logos on the lapel, shoulders and pants.
- Patches: woven or sublimated patches on the back, shoulders and legs.
- Inner details: printed jacket linings, branded labels and drawstrings.
- Packaging: branded gi bags that feel premium to buyers.
Competition rules: federations set rules for gi colours, fit and patch positions. Share them with your manufacturer if your gis will be used in competition.
Ordering from a BJJ gi manufacturer for an academy or brand
- Choose weave, fabric and colours for your range.
- Send your logo and patch positions.
- Approve a sample in your main size: check fit, shrinkage after washing and stitching.
- Plan the size run from your students or past sales.
- Confirm packaging and delivery.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Not washing the sample: test shrinkage before approving, as cotton gis can shrink.
- Too many patches: heavy branding adds cost and can break competition rules.
- Ignoring kids' sizes: academies often sell many children's gis.
- Weak collars and stitching: these fail first under hard rolling.
