Made in Thailand
SIAMKICK has made its gear in Thailand since 2018. We work out of two workshops, one in Bangkok and one in Phuket, with a team of around twenty people. Every piece we sell is made by hand in those two rooms. Nothing is outsourced to a third country, and nothing comes off an automated line.
Two Workshops, One Standard
Muay Thai shorts are a deceptively difficult garment. The waistband has to hold through a round of clinch work. The side slits have to open far enough for a head kick without tearing. The stitching has to survive being washed several times a week. Those are the things that fail first on mass-produced gear, and they are the things a person at a machine notices when a production line does not.
How It's Made
Our Muay Thai shorts are cut from 100% MicroSatin, with extra-wide side slits, an elastic waistband with drawstring, and triple-reinforced stitching on the seams that take the most load. Custom shorts are made to order: your name or your gym is embroidered by hand, over a production period of three to five days.
Our Mongkol headbands and Prajiad armbands are braided by hand from traditional Muay Thai rope. There is no machine shortcut for the weave. It is done by hand, one piece at a time, which is why the colour holds without fraying or fading.
Tested Before It's Sold
Every piece is tried by working fighters before we release it. If a cut restricts a kick, if a waistband rolls, if a seam gives, it does not go on the site. This is the main reason our range grows slowly. We would rather release four colourways that hold up than forty that do not.
Where Part Of The Money Goes
Muay Thai comes from the Thai countryside, and many of the gyms that produce its fighters run on very little. We put part of what we earn back into renovating those gyms. Five have been renovated so far, and our aim is to reach one hundred by the end of 2026. We do not publish the gym names. The point is the work rather than the publicity.
Made Where The Sport Is From
Muay Thai equipment made outside Thailand is usually made by people who have never trained in it. The cut of a Thai-made short, the width of the slit, the length of the rise, the weight of the satin, all of it comes from a century of the sport being fought here. We make gear where the sport is from, by people who understand what it has to survive.
