Single Weave BJJ Gi — Custom Manufacturer in Sialkot, Pakistan
Single weave is the original BJJ gi fabric construction — the most straightforward, most affordable, and most accessible entry point into custom gi manufacturing. While pearl weave has largely replaced single weave in the premium market, single weave remains an important product for specific buyers and use cases.
At Onrox International, we manufacture custom single weave BJJ gis for academies with entry-level programs, beginner gi lines, and price-sensitive markets from our factory in Sialkot, Pakistan.
What Is Single Weave?
Single weave is the most basic cotton weave construction used in BJJ gis. A single layer of interlocked cotton threads creates a lightweight, flexible fabric that is more affordable to manufacture than pearl, gold, or double weave alternatives.
Single weave fabric properties:
- Lightest weight of all standard BJJ gi constructions
- Most affordable to manufacture
- Soft and flexible — comfortable for beginners
- Less durable than heavier weave constructions under hard daily training
- IBJJF compliant at appropriate fabric weights
Single Weave GSM Options
| GSM | Weight | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| 350gsm | Light | Beginner training, hot climates |
| 400gsm | Light-Medium | General training, youth programs |
| 450gsm | Medium | Competition and training |
Who Should Order Single Weave
Single weave is the right choice when:
Beginner programs and kids classes Single weave’s lighter weight and softer hand feel makes it the most comfortable option for new practitioners and children. Beginners who are not yet committed to BJJ long-term benefit from a more affordable gi option before investing in a heavier premium weave.
Academy intro gi programs Many academies sell a branded single weave gi at a lower price point as a beginner gi for new students. Once students commit to training regularly, they upgrade to pearl or gold weave. Single weave fills the entry-level slot in the product range.
Hot climate training Single weave’s light construction is the coolest option for training in hot, humid environments without air conditioning. Practitioners in tropical climates sometimes prefer single weave even at advanced levels for comfort reasons.
Price-sensitive markets Buyers in price-sensitive markets where the retail price ceiling is lower benefit from single weave’s lower manufacturing cost. This allows a competitive retail price without sacrificing branded quality.

Frequently Asked Questions — Single Weave BJJ Gi
Is single weave legal for IBJJF competition? Single weave at 400–450gsm can pass IBJJF inspection. However, single weave is generally not recommended for serious competition use as it is more likely to show wear under the stress of competition training camps.
How durable is single weave for regular training? For practitioners training 2–3 times per week, single weave is adequate. For daily hard training, pearl or gold weave will last significantly longer. Single weave is best positioned as a beginner or backup gi.
Is single weave suitable for children’s BJJ programs? Yes. Single weave is one of the best choices for kids gis. The light weight is comfortable for children, and the lower cost makes it practical for parents whose children are still growing and will need a new size within 12–18 months.
Can I order single weave and pearl weave gis in the same order? Yes. We regularly produce multiple fabric constructions within a single order for brands building a complete product range. Specify each product’s fabric in your quote form.
What is the price difference between single weave and pearl weave? Single weave is the most affordable option due to lower fabric cost and simpler construction. Contact us for specific pricing — the difference depends on GSM, quantity, and customization level.
