How custom fight gear is made
From the first specification to the final inspection, here is how each type of gear is built. Every order follows the same rule: nothing goes into bulk production until you approve a physical sample.
How gloves are made
A glove is built from the outside in: cut panels, a padding core shaped to the fist, then stitching, lining and closure.
Specification
Weight (oz) or size, closure, outer material, padding build, colours and logo positions are agreed in writing.
Pattern and cutting
Panels for the back of the hand, palm, thumb and cuff are cut from leather or PU with steel cutting dies, so every pair matches.
Branding
Logos and names are printed, embossed, debossed or embroidered onto the flat panels before they are stitched.
Padding
Layers of foam of different density are cut and laminated (or moulded in one piece) into the curved fist shape.
Stitching and assembly
Panels are stitched, the padding core is inserted, the thumb is attached, and the lining, palm grip and strap or laces are fitted.
Weighing and finishing
Each glove is shaped and weighed against the specified ounce weight; edges, piping and stitching are trimmed and cleaned.
Inspection and packing
Pairs are checked against the approved sample for colour, logo position, stitching and closure, then packed as specified.

Questions buyers ask
How is custom fight gear made?
Every product follows the same order: a written specification, cutting, branding, padding or decoration, stitching and assembly, then inspection against your approved sample. The details differ by product family, as shown on this page.
Why is a sample made before bulk production?
The sample turns your specification into something you can hold, wear and test. Once you approve it, it becomes the reference every piece in your order is checked against.
Is my logo added before or after stitching?
On gloves, pads and most fightwear, logos are printed, embossed or embroidered onto flat panels before stitching, which gives cleaner, longer-lasting branding. Sublimated designs are printed into the fabric before cutting.
