Custom & Private Label BJJ Gi Manufacturer

Pearl weave and gold weave are the two most common BJJ gi jacket fabrics. Pearl weave is lighter, faster-drying, and grip-resistant — the standard for IBJJF competition. At 350–400 GSM, a pearl weave jacket meets all major competition requirements. Gold weave is a denser, heavier cotton weave that offers greater durability and a softer hand-feel. It is heavier and slower to dry, but generally outlasts pearl weave under daily training. We recommend pearl weave for competition-focused brands and gold weave for premium training gi lines.

Yes. Our standard BJJ gi production uses IBJJF-compliant cuts, collar thickness, sleeve length, and pant leg length specifications. The IBJJF sets dimensional requirements for jacket sleeves, trouser length, collar thickness, and fabric weave. Our default production meets these requirements for adult A0–A5 sizing. We can also produce gis to custom academy-specific sizing charts or alternative competition rulesets (ADCC, NAGA, local federations) on request.

We manufacture standard IBJJF sizing from A0 to A5 for adults, and F1 to F5 for female-fit cuts. Children’s sizing from M0 to M4 is available on request. Beyond standard sizing, we offer full OEM pattern grading to custom academy sizing charts. A custom grading fee applies. We recommend ordering a pre-production sample in each size range before bulk production, and providing actual student measurements for the best fit accuracy.

We offer four primary branding methods. Direct machine embroidery is the most durable — threads sewn directly into the fabric will not peel, crack, or fade. Woven patches are durable badges popular for sponsor branding on competition gis. Sublimated lining adds a premium interior design element that is fully colour-fast. Sublimated pants allow all-over exterior printing. For most private label brands, a combination of direct embroidery on the jacket and woven patches for logos produces the best result.

GSM determines the weight, durability, and feel of the finished gi. For competition gis: 350–400 GSM pearl weave jacket with 240–280 GSM ripstop pants produces an IBJJF-legal gi that is light and fast-drying. For training gis: 450–550 GSM gold or heavy pearl weave jacket with 300–350 GSM ripstop pants produces a more durable gi for daily academy use. Read our GSM fabric weight guide for a full breakdown.

Yes. We manufacture female-fit BJJ gis (F1–F5 sizing) with pattern grading adjusted for a narrower shoulder, shorter sleeve, and adjusted hip-to-waist ratio — not a scaled-down adult pattern. Children’s gis in M0–M4 sizing are available with the same fabric and branding options as adult gis. Both cuts are available from the same 50-set MOQ per design.

Our minimum order quantity starts at 50 sets (jacket + pants + belt) per design — lower than most competing manufacturers who require 100–200 units minimum. Pre-production sampling takes 14–21 days including pattern making, fabric sourcing, and embroidery setup. Once your sample is approved, bulk production averages 3–5 weeks. Air freight to the USA, UK, Europe, and Australia takes 7–12 days. Sea freight takes 25–40 days. Orders using standard white, blue, or black pearl weave are processed faster than orders requiring custom dyeing.
