I saw the Pajama Jean commercial:
Quite honestly, I couldn’t help myself.
I am weak.
The styling of your favorite jeans with the comfort of pajamas.
Pajama jeans are so comfortable you will want to sleep in them.
I like to sleep.
Just because you are busy doesn’t mean you can’t look sharp.
I am busy. I want to look sharp.
The secret is in the DORMISOFT fabric.
C’mon people, I mean they are made out of DORMISOFT!
I am powerless against DORMISOFT.
High contrast top stitching.
Back pocket design details.
EVEN brass rivets!
They look like they were made by some European designer.
I love some European designer!
Run a few errands in sweats and they start to wrinkle and sag.
But Pajama jeans look great ALL DAY LONG.
I just hate it when my sweats wrinkle and sag…OK, in reality I don’t own a pair of sweats, but if I did I would TOTALLY hate when they wrinkled and sagged.
Available in 8 sizes.
Including XS and plus sizes.
I am a size!
I was sold.
They had me at brass rivets.
I figured I would get $39.95 out of just mocking them on the internet for laughs.
So I went to the website and made my size selection.
Ummm…at this point I was a little frightened. These are the only jeans I have ever bought that span several sizes and it isn’t like you get to try them on in a dressing room before buying.
I threw a dart at the size chart and pushed the buy button.
A month later my pajama jeans arrived.
I admit to rolling my eyes as I unpacked them.
No zipper?
The high contrast stitching is VERY high contrast.
I now understood why the some European designer styled them anonymously.
Oh my.
And then I tried them on. And they didn’t look too bad. And then I found myself rubbing my legs just like the girl in the commercial. And then someone else even mentioned they kinda look good.
And I am wearing them right now.
And I don’t hate them…
UPDATE: During the first four hours of wearing my pajama jeans I lost one of the brass rivets.
UPDATE: The T-shirt they sent to me with my pajama jeans was “sized” according to the jeans that I bought. The T-shirt would fit most 8 year old girls. On me it was extremely tight and left 2 inches of my belly exposed…not a good look for me after 3 kids.
UPDATE: The Pajama Jeans website now forwards to PajamaGram where what I bought for $39.95 is now $59.95!
Really, PajamaGram?
UPDATE: I have tried to wear them several times. They are WAY too low in the back to sit and not expose the world to parts of my anatomy that I usually keep hidden under several layers.
UPDATE: Several people have commented below that they are available in some stores. I haven’t seen them in the stores yet, but PLEASE go try on pajama jeans before you buy them.
UPDATE: Several people below {OK, more than several} are irate that I haven’t returned the money for their pajama jeans returns. Let me just mention here that I am a random blogger and have no affiliation with Pajama Jeans.
I ordered a pair back in Jan. I figured that 1 of 2 things would happen. Either I’d get a really good laugh out of it & return them. Or I’d actually like them. Well I FINALLY got them a few weeks ago. And I must admit that I really <3 them. My only complaint is that I wish they had belt loops 🙂 I actually wore them to volunteer at my kids' school the other day. Just to see if anyone would notice. And nobody would have. Except that I posted on fb that they were finally here!! After she stared at me for a few mins, she asked me if I was wearing them cause she couldn't tell. Everybody overheard & instantly flocked to me. They were all very intrigued. Which led to me being very oddly felt up by all the other moms. lol
Ha! I have had the same experience where I am the “pajama jeans” celebrity because people have heard of them and seen them on TV, but not touched them.
So glad they worked out for you!
Seems like it is time to tell the Pajama Jeans company to take a flying leap.If you really want to spend some bucks on your jeans, check out Miracle Body jeans at Travelsmith.com. Pretty pricey but looks like they would do the trick.
It is pretty funny that I have been seeing other companies doing their own version. Hopefully people can find something that works for them.
Honest to goodness, this is a tempest in a teapot! Sounds to me like you need to be 5’8″ for them to fit in the length. If you are not that tall,you can expect to add the cost of alterations to the price tag…. unless you are handy with a needle OR you like the retro look of cuffs at the bottom of your legs. I love the idea of being “armed” with a debit card!!
5’8″ at the maximum. That is what I am and I wish the pajama jeans were a little longer.
I am so glad you posted about your pajamajean experiences on here…I’ve been sitting around recovering from surgery…bored and armed with my debit card and thought hey I’d love a pair of super comfy jeans. Now not so much 🙂
Thanks!
anyone know where you can get some knock offs? I hate spending $40 on a pair of pj’s/pants that aren’t even real jean. Regardless how comfy they are…
I know this is 10 months after your question, but I just discovered this blog searching for pajama jean knock offs. I was in a Burlington Coat Factory store this week (in PA) and I paid $ 9.99 per pair of “sleepy jeans”, nearly IDENTICAL to the pairs in the commercial. Even the same two choices, blue and black.
VERY pleased with them for this price. I even bought some for my sister who bought the original and still loves her first pair. I heard CVS is now advertizing jean pajamas….I don’t know the price yet.
So I got my Pajama Jeans in 2 days ago after 7 weeks of waiting. I really was expecting to hate them after reading all of the comments on here, but as a house cleaner, I wanted the look of jeans but the comfort and stretch of sweats. I wore them yesterday, washed them, slept in them and I’m wearing them right now! They are better than I ever thought they’d be. I’m a 5’8, muscular and thick 22 year old, and I was really worried about the length being too short or the thighs, too tight. But i don’t have a single complaint! And now my mom and 2 sisters, as well as countless friends and clients are in the market to get some after seeing mine. 🙂
Trust me ladies, if anyone was in doubt, it was me! I am the girl who can never find a pair of jeans the fit length and width and end up leaving stores frustrated almost to the point of tears. If these pajama jeans work for me, they’re worth the cost (39.95) and wait! Enjoy 🙂
I bought a pair for my wife on January 5th. They still have not shown up after 7 weeks. So I called customer service, the gentleman that answered my call was very polite, he informed me that the tracking info shows that the jeans arrived at my local post office yesterday after being shipped out on February 9th. Problem is that they only put my house number on the package and not the street name….REALLY!?!?! They not only have my email, but my phone number as well, and I know for a fact that I supplied them with my street name. Why would they send out a package without a street name? GRRRR!! I called my local post office and they said that packages immediately get returned to sender without proper information. So now my wife has to wait probably another month or two for her Pajama Jeans. I hope she likes them. This will be the first and last time we deal with this company. I say AVOID Pajama Jeans, unless you like waiting a couple months to receive your product after paying for it!!!
I bought 2 pair and they dont fit……..how do I send them back, i’ve lost the paper that came with them.thank you………………lorena trahan
You are hilarious. I wanted the Pajama Jeans before, and now I want them even more — for sheer kitsch value. I think I’ll make my husband buy me some… And I also feel compelled to try on these Coldwater Creek jeans your commenters are mentioning.
WhAT KIND OF WEB SITE….OR PHONE # iT IS THE HARDEST i EVER USED..SO i GIVE UP THEY CAN KEEP THEIR JEANS…..
