Do you look good in bed? Is it time for new men’s pajamas?

I admit that I own a pair of pajamas that are well worn. But how long can you ignore holes in the fabric because they are comfy?

After some thought, it was time for some new men’s pajamas. I ended up inspecting the offering at Blair. The first thing to say about Blair is that they are not one of those suppliers set up to sell good looking but low quality products over the internet. In fact, they have been around longer than the internet itself; Blair is coming up to its 100 year anniversary as a company. There is a sense of familiarity with their products - they have previously made their way into my home via mail order catalogs. I find it reassuring to buy from a company with a good reputation and be sure that the apparel that arrives in the mail will be good quality.

Today I rarely purchase from mail order catalogs as I spend most of my time online. Blair have one of the largest selections of men’s apparel I have seen. Their sleepware page has more than 40 items including boxers, flannel pajamas, cotton socks, night shirts, singlets, and briefs which you can sort and search through by price or by popularity.

Although the prices are cheap enough, it is worth entering your email address as extra discounts and special offers sometimes are too good to refuse. Also, I particularly like the clearance items, which seem insanely cheap on some lines.

One bug bear for me is the cost of shipping. It does add something to the cost of your order and startling to see your cart total jump by 20% of more. On the other hand, the clothes are so cheap to start with it is hard to feel like you are not getting great value.

I’ve never tried their gift card service but I notice you can purchase one and avoid the hard decisions like choosing the right size and colour for the perfect gift.

I hope to have some new men’s pajamas soon!
