Black Jiu Jitsu Gi – Red Trim

Description

Black Jiu Jitsu Gi with Red Trim

A straightforward option if you want a quality black gi that works for both regular training and competition. The 350gsm pearl weave jacket and 10oz ripstop pants are a well-proven combination — heavier than the lightweight training gis, built to hold up to frequent rolling. The red contrast trim keeps the look clean without being over the top.

Belt is not included. This set is jacket and pants only.

The Jacket

350gsm pearl weave is a practical weight for Australian conditions. It’s substantial enough that the gi keeps its structure through hard training and regular washing, but not so heavy that it becomes uncomfortable in summer. Pearl weave fabric has a tightly interlocked construction that resists tearing under grips — the pattern means load is distributed across the weave rather than concentrating at one point.

The collar is EVA foam, which holds its shape through washing and rolling. Cheaper collars compress over time and go floppy; this one stays consistent. The gi is pre-washed before sale, so significant shrinkage after washing is unlikely — you shouldn’t find it suddenly doesn’t fit after the first few sessions.

The Pants

10oz ripstop pants with double-reinforced knees. Ripstop uses a grid of reinforcing threads woven through the fabric — if the material gets snagged or starts to tear, the damage stays contained to that section rather than running. The knees have a second layer of fabric where the most wear happens. The waistband combines elastic and an inner drawstring, which gives you two adjustment points for fit.

IBJJF Competition Approved

The gi meets IBJJF standards for jacket length, sleeve length, pant length, and collar thickness. If you’re planning to compete, it’ll pass inspection. The design is minimal — no manufacturer patches or embroidery — so you can add your academy patches where required or keep it plain.

Black is accepted at most BJJ competitions. If your federation has specific colour rules, check before purchasing, but black is standard across IBJJF and most other organisations.

Sizing

This gi uses standard BJJ A-sizing: A0, A1, A2, A3. The sizing is based on a modern athletic cut — not the traditional boxy Japanese cut, but not tight either. There’s enough room for full movement without excess fabric.

BJJ sizing varies between brands but this follows the mainstream A-size convention. If you’re between sizes and train in a warmer climate or prefer more room, size up. If you prefer a closer fit for competition, stay with your measured size. Use the size chart on the product page to compare your height and weight.

Care

Wash cold (30°C maximum) on a gentle cycle and hang to air dry. Avoid hot water, fabric softeners, and the dryer — heat breaks down the cotton fibres and shortens the life of the gi. Keep it out of direct sunlight when drying; prolonged sun exposure fades black fabric to grey-brown over time. Washing inside-out helps protect the red trim and the exterior fabric surface. Wash after every session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this gi come with a belt?

No. The set includes jacket and pants only. Belts are sold separately — you’ll want the colour that matches your current rank.

Will this gi shrink after washing?

It’s pre-washed before sale, so significant shrinkage is unlikely. Wash cold and air dry to keep it in the best condition. Avoid machine drying.

Is this gi approved for IBJJF competition?

Yes. It meets IBJJF standards for jacket length, sleeve length, pant length, and collar thickness. The black colour with minimal branding is accepted at most competitions — check your specific federation’s rules if you’re unsure.

How does the A-sizing work?

A0 is the smallest, A3 the largest. The sizing is based on your height and weight. Use the size chart on the product page as your starting point. If you’re between sizes, size up for more comfort; stay with your measured size for a closer competition fit.

Can I add academy patches?

Yes. The gi comes without manufacturer patches or embroidery, so you can add your academy logo and any required competition patches wherever they’re needed. The EVA collar holds its shape through this process without compressing.

How do I care for the red trim?

Wash cold, gentle cycle, air dry out of direct sunlight. The red stitching is colourfast and won’t bleed into the black fabric under normal washing. Turning the gi inside out before washing adds extra protection for the exterior trim.
