DO IT! Now I know, that this "insider's tip" is totally valid. Last night was wonderful! So cozy (thin cotton jersey) and it didn't distort on the body, like I feared!! And of course no disturbing pyjama pants's cuff on your hips. Solid quality storebrand, 20 bucks. With breast-pocket.
Ok, I maybe opened in the wrong topic-group. My new one are of course not the vintage design ones. But my afternoon snooze was heavenly! Two and a half hours, oops...
Another one, with short sleeves. And the other one "live": Have a good night, my loungers! I will surely have.
Had one of that Jersey type years ago. Never quite took to it; I ended up wearing pj trousers under it as well, and then a traditional pj jacket over it. Much prefer traditional brushed cotton flannel for Winter, or light cotton pjs for warmer weather now. I do wear a tradtional nightcap often as well, particualrly in Winter when my head can get very cold over night. Oncce, when ill, I fell asleep in a ushanka. Woke up the newxt morning and for a few brief, shocking seconds thought my hair had grown back.
Outstanding! Just outstanding! Actually, I really don't like to get back to my usual modern shorty-pyjamas.
Bought three new in classic department store, today. Two from Ammann, one from Seidensticker (by Schiesser). Very very nice ones from Ammann, indeed Made in Stuttgart.
