Why Gold Weave Gis

Ah, the mystical world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu uniforms, where even the fabric has a tale to tell! Let me regale you with the story of gold weave fabric.

Imagine a fabric so luxurious, so elegant, that it makes ordinary cloth look like a peasant in comparison. That’s gold weave for you! It’s not actually woven with gold (sadly, that would be too expensive even for royalty), but it’s called gold weave because of its shimmering, golden appearance.

Now, why is gold weave so beloved in the world of BJJ? Well, first off, it’s tough as nails. Picture your grandma’s old iron skillet – that’s the level of durability we’re talking about. It can withstand the fiercest takedowns, the most intense grappling, and still come out looking pristine.

But wait, there’s more! Gold weave isn’t just strong; it’s also super comfortable. It’s like wrapping yourself in a cloud of awesomeness. The fabric breathes well, so you won’t feel like you’re suffocating in a sauna during training sessions.

And let’s not forget the style factor. Gold weave uniforms have that extra oomph that makes you stand out on the mats. It’s like wearing a superhero cape, except it’s a gi, and you’re the superhero of submissions.

So, there you have it – the legend of gold weave fabric, where strength, comfort, and style intertwine like a beautifully executed armbar.

But in all seriousness gold weave fabric was all the rage 15-20 years ago it was strong and comfortable. and the fabric had a looser knit so it would breath very well. the only down side was it tended to shrink more then other cotton fabric weaves. So there you have it the GOLD weave fabric strong comfortable but shrink happy.
