Pyjamas Started Out as Daywear

Did you know pyjamas were first worn during the day?
The word comes from Persian and has two parts. "Pai" means "leg" and "jama" means "garment". It was the name for the loose trousers people across Asia wore every day.
In the 19th century, the British came to appreciate how comfortable these trousers were in India and brought them home. By the end of the century, pyjamas were already pushing aside the traditional men's nightshirt in Europe.
Over 150 years pyjamas have changed a great deal, yet the main requirement has stayed the same. Pyjamas have to be comfortable, and much of that depends on the fabric that touches your skin all night.
At Global Textile, pyjamas and loungewear are sewn from soft knitted fabric. It breathes, stretches as you move and keeps its shape wash after wash.
A good pair of pyjamas feels just as pleasant in the evening, when you get into bed, as it does in the morning over your first cup of tea.
