Upon opening these gems I noticed that there was a distinct smell very similar to other reviews. I asked my son to smell them and he said they smell like that crunchy seaweed stuff you buy at the store. The material is more of a paper bag consistency than "super soft" lol. I would like to know where the other reviewers got their pajama bottoms from? Because, damn it, it's not the same company. Needless to say I sent them back the same day. I was actually going to give it to my dad for his birthday, but dammit, I got it back the same day.
