Review on Fleece Hooded Footed Christmas Pajamas For The Entire Family From SleepytimePJs by Shawn Quick

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfy, cute and durable, but awkward proportions

(Updated) Overall I really like these matching pajamas! They are very soft, plush and comfortable. They hold up well in the wash and they are well sewn and durable. This was our 4th Christmas using them, actually. The first year, the kids didn't let me put them away after Christmas day, so we all wore our matching pajamas for the rest of our Christmas vacation (with periodic washing) until school/work resumed after New Year's! Now that has become a family tradition, and every year we lounge around in these comfy pajamas from Christmas until the end of vacation.The adult pajamas are now 4 years old and holding up fine. I buy the next size up for the kids every year, with the younger kid wearing his sister's from the previous year, so each one gets worn for 2 years (for one week per year), and those are holding up fine as well, including multiple washings in the washer and dryer (normal settings).There are some differences between the kids' version and the adult version that I don't really like. One thing I especially like about the adult version is that there are zippers around the ankles so the feet can come off. I really wish the kids ones had that, too, so the kids could put shoes on if they need to. Like in the bathroom, they'll spill/slash water while washing their hands, or while helping cook, then step in it and end up with wet feet. The feet of the pajamas are too bulky to stuff into shoes. Also, the kids' and the adults' pajamas are made of significantly different material. Even though the print is the same, the adult pajamas are MUCH thicker, richer and fluffier. It's a very luxurious kind of fleece. The kids', on the other hand, are very thin and feel cheap. The fleece is smooth, not shaggy like the adults'.Overall the fabric is much better - warmer, softer - than the generic cotton pajamas that are so common out there. The thin cotton ones don't work in our northern climate, we need something warm, so these pajamas are perfect for that.One problem common to both adult and kid version is that the sizing and proportions are way off. The pajamas run very small - I had to return and order a size up for everybody, including the adults. And even so, all the parts don't scale the same. The sleeves are always short no matter how much you size up. And the legs are way too long for the torso, bunching up at the bottom and tripping up the kids.Despite the sizing and inconsistency issues, I still love these pajamas and hope they continue being made and sold, so we can continue to size up and match as a family until the kids grow up and settle on a forever adult size!
