Black Belt Optional (Brown Belt) | Funny BJJ Gi T-Shirt

Order by December 11 for Christmas delivery.

Guessing their size?

Go with the size they wear in regular tees. When in doubt, size up. Nobody has ever complained about a roomy hoodie.

Buying it as a gift?

Every piece is printed when you order, so give it a little extra time. Short on time or details? The gift card covers it.

They own four gis and one suit. This splits the difference.

Need it by Christmas? For US delivery, order by Monday, December 7.

Black Belt Optional is a fake gi for the grappler who would wear the real one to dinner if anyone let them. The lapels run from the collar to the hem, left over right. The belt is tied in a proper square knot and wraps all the way around to the back, where a gi collar and a Holiday BJJ back patch finish the job. Pick a black gi or the traditional white.

This is the brown belt version, for the grappler one promotion away from black and pretending not to count.

The gi hangs open the way it does after a hard round, showing a chest that clearly trains, a respectable amount of chest hair, and a MOM tattoo. Pick the skin tone that matches them. The tattoo comes standard. Mom insisted.

All-over print tee, printed edge to edge, then cut and sewn. Mid-weight polyester jersey with stretch (93% polyester, 7% spandex) in a regular fit. It runs small and a little long, so order one size up.

For anyone shopping who doesn't train: a gi is the heavy cotton uniform of jiu jitsu, and the belt color is their rank. Everyone starts at white, then moves up through blue, purple and brown to black. If they just got promoted, pick the new belt, not the old one.

Not sure which belt they have? White is the safe bet for anyone in their first year or two. If it's anything higher, they have mentioned it.

Need a different belt? It also comes in white, blue, purple and black.

The only correct answer to an invitation that says black tie optional.

Not sure of their size? A Holiday BJJ gift card lets them pick their own.

Made to order, which means nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing gets overproduced.
