Custom Heavyweight Canvas Gis
ZipaSports manufactures custom heavyweight canvas gis in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a minimum order of 20–25 pieces per design and 15–25 business day production. Ordered by traditional dojos and karate brands supplying senior grades who want a heavy gi with audible snap.
The jacket is built from 550 GSM cotton canvas, pre-shrunk and washed so it arrives with body rather than starch, with chain-stitched lapels, reinforced underarm gussets and bar-tacked vent tops. Trousers are cut on the same cloth with a wide gusseted crotch for deep stances and a doubled seat panel. Dojo names go on by embroidery, tackle twill or woven patch, with kanji lettering embroidered down the lapel to your artwork.
Send your logo, colours and reference designs — or just an idea — and the design studio returns a free digital mockup within 24 hours. OEM and private-label orders ship with your own woven labels, size tags and branded packaging, applied in-house.

Heavyweight Canvas Gis — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom heavyweight canvas gis?
20–25 pieces per design. Lower quantities are possible on request, and there is no MOQ limit for sportswear brands and companies.
What are heavyweight canvas gis made from?
550 GSM pre-shrunk cotton canvas, chain-stitched seams. GRS-certified recycled fabric options are available on request.
How long does production take?
Bulk production takes 15–25 business days after design approval, with an express 7–12 day service at additional cost. A free digital mockup is delivered within 24 hours of your enquiry.
Why do heavy gis snap louder?
A dense canvas holds its shape as the limb accelerates, so the cloth catches air and cracks at the end of the technique. Lighter poly-cotton gis simply do not have the mass to do it.
Does a canvas gi need breaking in?
Yes. The first few weeks feel stiff, and the cloth softens progressively as the cotton fibres relax. Washing cold and line drying speeds it up without causing the shrinkage that hot drying would.
How much shrinkage should I expect?
The canvas is pre-shrunk, so movement is limited to a small settle over the first washes rather than a size drop. Dojos who prefer a shrink-to-fit finish can ask us to cut the sleeves and skirt long.
How much do custom heavyweight canvas gis cost?
Pricing depends on fabric choice, order quantity, decoration and destination, so every order is quoted individually. Send your design and quantity on WhatsApp (+92 300 7019281) for a same-day quote and a free digital mockup within 24 hours.
