Because he doesn't have any.  I need help here, please. Hubby has never worn jammies, for a couple reasons. But apparently he is getting old, and colder, as he put a t-shirt on the other night because our room is so cold. Can we say ice box? Anywho, I want to buy him some for xmas, however, it's not going to be as easy as going and picking a pair out. Here's why. He doesn't like regular jammies because they (legs especially) twist and hike up. They also need to be lightweight. He has long underwear, but didn't put those on because he said they would be too hot. So, does anyone have any idea where I can find jammies that are lightweight/breathable, but styled like long underwear? At a somewhat reasonable price.... Any help much appreciated! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N.

Hey Ellen, Not sure if this is what you are looking for, or what the shipping costs would be (this is an Australian company) but thought I would throw it out there as I love their men's pyjama shorts. Linky: Peter Alexander

Hmm...I once had a pair of pj pants that was very thin, like t-shirt material, but was rather tight-fitting and had elastic at the ankles which kept them from sliding around and getting twisted. Would something like that be what you're looking for? I can see if I can find them again if they sound good...

Ellen: I think you should look at what I call climbing tights.... They hug the skin, flex with movement, are lightweight, and warm (and used to come in the wildest colors and patterns - they seem more muted now). Here is a link to some of what I am talking about: http://www.mountaingear.com/pages/product/Search_Results_Endeca_New.asp?lpos=leftnav&N=804&Nao=0&Nu=p%5Frollup&Ntx=mode%5Fmatchallpartial&Ns=p%5Fpopular%7C0%7C%7Cp%5Fname%7C0&Ntk=s%5Fsearch If you live in an area with rock climbing, near the mountains, or just a lot of outdoor activities where it can get cool (or cold) you probably have a store nearby that specilizes in supporting this kind of outdoor activities; which likely has some to look at.

LOL, Ellen! You crack me up! I don't have any jammie tips because my hubby doesn't wear them either, but, do be sure you don't have flannel sheets on the bed when he is in the mood to wear his jammers. My dad complains that flannel sheets stretch out his underwear. I can't think of any mens' p.j.s that wouldn't ride up in the legs. What about sweatpants with elastic around the ankles? They don't look like baby clothes!

Date: 12/6/2008 11:08:14 AM After almost 30 years together, for every night, no, I can't think of a thing. Author: Kelli Isn't there any other way you can think of to warm him up?  PrettyBlues, thank you! but I think he needs long pants. Those would not be much wamer than his skivvies.  perry, thanks! Those sound like a possible option, though a tad pricier than I wanted for just the bottoms. But I will keep them in mind. Gwen, same with the ones you found, thank you! Also, they say they are a type of wool. I'm wondering if they'd be too warm... ? Miranda, lol! Yes, we've had flannel sheets in the past, and me and my jammies have had a time or two trying to turn over! Hubby says I turn over a lot in my sleep. Gives "twisted" a whole new meaning. Thanks again all! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

My husband and I are PJs collectors. We spend more time in them than any other item of clothing. DH likes thin, cotton, plaid "old man" PJs. They kind of look like these: http://www.figleaves.com/uk/product.asp?product_id=PAS-A8XA-424E-PSW86&mci=&size=&colour=&image=r391582-p600974-front Light and manly, but I'm not sure about the ride up factor.

I forgot about Ralph Lauren jammies. I know they can be pricey but I received a promo code in my email that is good through 12/8/08 for a 30% savings on all orders (regular or sale priced) and they are also having free shipping right now. The code is HOL2008 and you enter it during the checkout process and you will see the discount applied. http://www.ralphlauren.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=2877584&cp=1760781&ab=ln_men_cs2_underwear&socks |

Date: 12/6/2008 3:42:44 PM I second the Winter Silks. I've worn them in the winter for years. They come in different weights. I often wear the light-weights as pajamas, or the heavyweights if it is extremely cold. The heavy weights are a lot less bulky than cotton long underwear. If he decides he doesn't like them as jammies, they work great as an extra layer under clothes. Not as bulky as regular long underwear.Author: VRBeauty How about: 1) silk thermals http://www.wintersilks.com/longunderwear/default.aspx?BRANCH=1~&sc=WWEBSEMGLUH08 2) Heated mattress pad (heavenly! -- and available with dual controls) Good luck! I know what you mean about getting older. I had to break out the electric mattress pad to preheat my bed this winter. I just can't fall asleep with cold feet.

My hubby doesn't wear them either. But if you want something nice, try Brooks Brothers?

Ellen: it's cold up her in canuck-land. Our room has 2 outside walls that face the east wind. Hot water heating with radiators around the walls - not always really warm: BRRRRR We froze for years until we discovered this combination: Down comforter on top and a Down featherbed on the bottom (it goes under the matress cover just on top of the mattress. (the pic below shows the featherbed on top of the mattress cover: it is better underneath) Here's a link from The Shopping Channel (CDN version): http://www.theshoppingchannel.com/category/home/bed+%26+bath.do?e=1&N=128358 We actually have 2 different down comforters (2x twin size because I like a heavier one than him) You can sleep buck naked and still be warm.
