Combat sports apparel made by Voyager Sportswear for clubs includes boxing and training shorts, loose training shirts, fitted tops and branded warm-up jackets. Each garment is specified for the discipline named in the brief, and the waistband, leg opening, seams and position of club or sponsor marks are checked on a sample through the movements of that discipline. Any competition rules on closures or decoration should reach us before the sample is approved.

Garments and specifications

Combat apparel is checked in the movements of the discipline named in the brief. Waist fit, leg length, seams and the position of club or sponsor marks are agreed with you, and event rules and any garment restrictions have to reach us before a sample is approved.

Garment options are in the product families: Performance T-shirts and training tops, Sports shorts and skorts and Training sets and tracksuits.

Check movement and garment details

Boxing shorts, general training shorts and close-fitting tops are cut from different patterns, so send a reference for the discipline instead of one size chart for every garment. On the sample, check the waistband stability, leg opening and length through the movements of that discipline. Find out whether the competition you are making for restricts pockets, zips, exposed fastenings or raised decoration.

Mark where the club and sponsor marks go, including any areas that touch the mat or another athlete. The fabric, seam construction and decoration method are agreed for each garment. A fitted cut is not the same as compression performance.

Separate training, competition and presentation garments

A combat sports club may need loose training shirts, shorts for one particular discipline and a branded warm-up jacket, and these do not belong in one catch-all specification. The competition garment may be restricted in its closures or decoration in ways a travel jacket is not. Send those rules and say which garment they apply to.

For shorts, give the waist position, band width, leg opening and intended length. Test kicks or lunges only where the discipline calls for them, and see whether the waistband stays in place. For a fitted top, note how much stretch and coverage you need. A compression claim needs its own evidence. Wherever the fabric rubs against the mat or another athlete, think about the size and position of any print.

Example: the same club mark on different garments

A small club mark may suit a jacket chest but need another position or method on a fitted training top. Send the same logo file with a separate placement drawing for each garment, and review the application on each fabric instead of treating one sample as proof for all of them.

Bring the reference and we can clarify the construction

Send the discipline and use, garment references or sketches, approximate quantities, the sizes you know and the delivery requirement, and describe any pocket, fastening or raised detail that is not acceptable. Voyager Sportswear can help clarify fabric direction, branding and the sample plan, and any specialised construction is assessed before quotation.

Questions and answers

Can one club logo go in the same place on combat sports tops and jackets?

Not always: one club logo may suit a jacket chest yet need a different position or decoration method on a fitted combat sports training top. Send the same logo file with a separate placement drawing for each garment, including any area that touches the mat or another athlete. Check the application on each fabric rather than treating one approved sample as proof for every garment in the club order.

How should boxing shorts be specified differently from general training shorts?

Boxing shorts need their own pattern and a reference for the discipline, rather than the size chart used for general training shorts or close-fitting tops. Specify the waist position, band width, leg opening and intended length. On the sample, check waistband stability, leg opening and length through the movements the discipline requires, and test kicks or lunges only where they are relevant.

Can combat sports competition shorts have pockets, zips or raised prints?

Whether combat sports competition shorts can have pockets, zips, exposed fastenings or raised decoration depends on the rules of the competition, so send those rules before the sample is approved and describe any detail that is not acceptable. A travel or warm-up jacket may not be subject to the same restrictions. Wherever the fabric rubs against the mat or another athlete, consider the size and position of every print.

From brief to production

Voyager Sportswear makes the garments in house in Turkey, from pattern making and sampling to cutting, sewing and quality control. Depending on the fabric and artwork, sublimation, embroidery, DTF or heat transfer can be considered, and we agree the method with you for each order. A sample is made to check fit, construction and placement, and bulk production follows once it is approved.

Send a design or reference garment, quantities and sizes, fabric requirements, destination and required date through request a manufacturing quote. Voyager Sportswear generally sends an initial response within 24 hours.
