This thread will betray how exciting my life is.
I've lost some weight and my pajamas were all in bad shape, so during the After-Holiday sales I wanted to get like 3 new Flannel Pajama Bottoms.
I already had a pair of Munki Munki ones from Costco I had bought, and they had a very low rise so every time I sat down, I was uncomfortable. So I ruled those out. But I did like that they had pockets. They have them on Amazon (for twice the price of Costco): https://www.amazon.com/Munki-perfec...3G64B9H4QWYKTXFVK&refRID=H0Z3G64B9H4QWYKTXFVK
I usually buy my husband's flannel shirts from LL Bean and they are excellent quality so I bought this because the set was the same price as the pants alone with coupon: https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/75772?page=cozy-pj-set&bc=&feat=flannel pajamas-SR0&csp=a&searchTerm=flannel pajamas But the quality was terrible. The flannel pants were printed not woven (flannel pattern should be woven into the fabric with different color threads not printed on the fabric with ink), the flannel fabric itself was terrible, and the tops shrunk in one direction when washed so it was now wide and short. I've bought better quality pajamas at Target. I returned these and will not be buying another set from them.
Next I went to Eddie Bauer and bought these: https://www.eddiebauer.com/product/...90?showProducts=111&color=039&sizetype=&size= The fabric is woven, and they sit at my natural waist but the fabric is thin and not winter weight. So.... I kept these but didn't order more. They washed well without shrinking much and I'll be able to wear them in spring and fall.
Then I was on the Company Store website, I love their flannel sheets, and they had a ridiculous clearance price on these pajamas (14 bucks with coupon), so I said... what the heck. https://www.thecompanystore.com/fam...el-matching-family-pajamas/60004-ps-deer.html Welp, these were super boxy, overlarge and they had a low rise. And they shrunk more than one full size. Which means I can't wear the top after washing. But the pants fit even if they are also low rise. It wasn't worth the cost of shipping to return these so I kept them. Never again though.
At that point, I was like... I'm done. Clearly this was a failed experiment and I should give up. But then I was on J Crew for my mom and I found these! https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens_cate...ajama-pant-in-flannel-black-watch-plaid/K2380 They were on clearance plus 50% off with coupon so I scored them for $15 a pair. I bought 2 pairs. And they are great quality. They sit at my natural waist-- which is why I bought them at all. Another reviewer had commented that they had a nice mid-high rise. The seams and the workmanship are lovely. And so is the nice thick flannel woven fabric. They run big, so I could have sized down, but that they washed beautifully and I finally have the flannel pajamas I wanted. Only flaw is that they do not have pockets.I will be buying my flannel PJ's from here from now on.
Oh, and I love the Gap Modern T-Shirt Line, which you can get on sale for 10-12 bucks, as Pajama Tops. https://www.gap.com/browse/.do?pid=...3992&cjevent=ef227280252411e981a5004e0a1c0e0f
So that's my pajama saga, I thought someone might benefit from it so I decided to post. And yes, I know, I lead an exciting life.
