The Pick: The pyjama set fit for a true gentleman
Enjoy nifty nightwear from a company who could dress you in their sleep
As we know, pyjamas – real pyjamas – are the true measure of a man. Forget your old festival t-shirt or boxers from the day before, you want the classic shirt-and-trouser style pyjamas to show your fashion and flair. And who better to provide you with this nattiest of nightwear than Turnbull & Asser, purveyors of some of the finest shirts on the finest shirt-making row in London, Jermyn Street?
Understanding this want to respect tradition, and a gentleman’s desire to uphold his style even at night, this heritage shirtmaker – and holder of a prestigious Royal Warrant – have crafted this pair of classic pyjamas. In a plain navy design with suitably regal navy piping, this is a traditional and timeless soft pyjama set. Thanks to a breathable Egyptian cotton composition, these are the perfect pyjamas for anytime of the year, being both insulating and breathable.
And, of course, the attention to detail doesn’t stop in the composition. Thermally-fused mother-of-pearl buttons and an accompanying hand-sewn cotton bag give this sleepwear an elevated level of luxury. So, next time you dolefully don your faded old pyjamas and shuffle into bed, just think how better your night’s sleep could be if you were shrugging on a pair of Turnbull & Asser pyjamas, handmade in Gloucester by seamstresses with so much meticulous experience that they could shorten your cuffs in their sleep.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for something with a little more zing, why not opt for fellow St James’s stalwart New & Lingwood’s Orange Tartan Check Pyjamas? Or, if something less formal is more your style, hot and happening brand A Day’s March are shaking up the classic look by incorporating a grandad shirt into the traditional style, and finishing the design in a bold rusty red. Emma Willis and Anderson & Sheppard, too, are players in the pyjama party, with each offering subtle blue checks on some of the softest brushed cotton you’ll ever fall asleep in.
