Each Repurposed Gi in our collection is a one-of-a-kind garment that has been reworked from an existing gi originally manufactured by another brand. Here’s what you should know: Original Base Gi: This piece began as a standard BJJ gi from another brand. You’ll find its name and details listed in the Origin Info section. Modified & Reinforced: We’ve added patchwork, stitching, and structural changes by hand, turning it into a new expression of craft. Check technical specification and process info for more details. Condition Report: Because the base GI may have seen use, we include a brief condition note so you know exactly what you’re getting. Sustainable & Story-Driven: Repurposing allows us to breathe new life into high-quality materials and give them new purpose in the form of wearable art. Related
