To find your correct gi size you should take your measurements, review the brand’s gi size chart, and, if needed, reach out to the manufacturer directly to confirm sizing. If you are in between sizes you should buy the larger size since you can always shrink it by washing in hot water and putting it in dryer or having it tailored.
There are four main weave types that are used for BJJ (Brazilian jiu jitsu) gis. They are single weave, double weave, gold weave, and pearl weave. Single weave is more affordable and light weight, double weave is heavier and used more for judo gis. Gold weave is used more in traditional gis and is prone to shrinking. Pearl weave is the most common weave type used in modern gis and is a good balance of comfort and durability.
GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. GSM measures the weight of gi fabric and affects various aspects of BJJ gis. Gis with a higher GSM are typically more durable but heavier, while lower GSM gis are lighter.
When starting BJJ one gi should do, but over time, if you train multiple times per week, 2-3 gis are optimal.

No, gi colors in BJJ do not matter. Gi colors do not represent anything special aside from personal preference. The only time you have to worry about your gi color is if your gym requires you to wear a specific gi or if you are signing up for a bjj competition that requires a certain color.
