Judogi Weave Types

Single Weave Judogi

  • Lighter weight: 450–550 gsm
  • More comfortable in warm training environments
  • More affordable
  • Popular for children’s judogi and beginner students
  • Less durable than double weave under heavy grip training

Double Weave Judogi

  • Heavier: 600–750 gsm
  • More resistant to grip damage — the most durable judogi construction
  • Preferred by competitive adults and advanced players
  • Takes longer to dry after washing

Gold Weave Judogi

  • Mid-weight compromise: 500–600 gsm
  • Weave pattern provides some resistance without full double-weave weight
  • Popular for club and competition training

IJF Colour Specification

For competition judogi at IJF-regulated events:

  • White or blue only
  • Collar must be the same colour as the rest of the jacket
  • No contrasting trim on collar or lapel
  • Manufacturer label permitted in specified location

We manufacture competition judogi in IJF-compliant white and blue. Custom embroidery (national flag, club name, player name) can be added in the permitted locations.


Custom Branding Options for Judogi

  • Club name or federation embroidery on back of jacket
  • National flag or crest embroidery on chest
  • Player name and number embroidery on jacket back and trouser leg
  • Custom woven or printed label inside collar
  • Custom belt or optional accessories (bag, etc.)

For non-competition / training judogi: full custom colourways, sublimation-print trousers, and branded collar trim are available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for custom judo gis? A: 25 pieces per size and colour. A full size run (A1–A5 or children’s sizes) counts as one order line.

Q: Do you make IJF-approved judogi? A: We manufacture to IJF colour specification and construction standards. IJF technical approval for international competition requires a separate submission and approval process through the IJF — we can advise on this for federation customers.

Q: What is the difference between single weave and double weave judogi? A: Single weave is lighter and more affordable — suitable for training and beginners. Double weave is heavier and more grip-resistant — preferred for advanced training and competition.

Q: Can I get judogi in custom colours for team identification? A: Yes — for training and club use (non-IJF competition), custom colourways are available including multi-colour panels and sublimation-print trousers.

Q: What sizes do you manufacture? A: Standard adult sizes A0–A6 and children’s sizes M000–M4. Custom sizing blocks are available for federation orders.

Q: How long does production take? A: Sample: 10–14 days. Production: 30–45 days after sample approval.

Q: Do you also manufacture BJJ gis in the same facility? A: Yes. BJJ gis are our primary product. We also manufacture Taekwondo uniforms, Karate gis, Aikido uwagi, and other martial arts uniforms. Many customers order judogi and BJJ gis in a single combined order.

Q: What is triple-stitch construction? A: Triple-stitch means every load-bearing seam is sewn three times. This is our standard on all gis, including judogi, because the collar, sleeve, and trouser seams take extreme stress during gripping and throwing. Triple-stitch significantly extends the lifespan of the garment.
