    Men's Old Fashioned sleepwear

    Yes somewhat. I'd swear I've seen old time comedies such as Abbott and Costello , or Laurel and Hardy, where when Costello gets dressed he merely pulls his pants up over his night shirt and it has a collar for a tie like a normal shirt or vice versa,when time for bed the man takes off his pants...
