Why you'll love them: The
Robes King Broadcloth Woven Pajamas look good, last for years, and are comfortable for lounging around the house or sleeping in bed.
In many ways, these are your father's pajamas, but that's a good thing in this case. While many types of garment go through changes over the years, improving as new materials become available and with fashion informed by the zeitgeist, men's pajamas arguably achieved a pinnacle of design in the middle of the 20th Century, at least in terms of style.
The Robes King Broadcloth Woven Pajamas feature a long sleeve shirt with three large buttons plus a smaller one at the collar, a single breast pocket, and a collar with a lining that helps it retain its shape. The trousers feature an elastic waistband and a snap fly, and both the tops and bottoms are lightweight and wide cut for ease of movement and comfort.
Unlike older pajamas, which were often 100% cotton, this set is made from a cotton and polyester blend (55% and 45%, respectively) that allows for slight flex in the material and excellent breathability, letting you retain enough warmth without that clingy, clammy feeling.
The Robes King men's pajamas come in more than a dozen different prints and colors, all in a subtle plaid pattern that would not have looked out of place fifty years ago and that will still be appreciated another generation hence.
With well over 1,000 reviews posted on Amazon, these pajamas have an admirable 4.5-star average rating. One gentleman calls them "comfortable to wear" and says "you can feel the quality." An owner named Derek says that he just "bought a second pair" and was "surprised at how well they fit."
Pros: Classic styling, many patterns and colors available, durable fabric blend
Cons: Arms run too short for some men
