OEM BJJ Gi GSM and Weave Guide for Academy Buyers
How Aphax Traders specs pearl weave and ripstop GSM for private-label academy gis before sampling.
Why GSM matters on OEM gis
Academy buyers should lock weave weight before embroidery. Typical Aphax programs run pearl weave and ripstop around 450–550 GSM, then reinforce skirts and load points for private label.
How to brief the factory
- Target GSM and season (summer vs winter program)
- Collar and skirt tape notes
- Crest placement for embroidery or patches
- Size run and colorways for the first carton
Browse live blanks in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gis OEM catalog, then request a mockup or start from private label.
