Men's Silk Pajamas & Sleepwear

There is a point in the evening when you stop being available to everyone else. The laptop closes. The collar comes off. The house gets quieter. We make men's silk pajamas for that change of pace.

The pleasure is immediate, but it is not fussy. Mulberry silk feels smooth as it settles over the skin and moves easily when you sit, stretch or turn in bed. Put the set on after a shower, wear it while the evening is still going on and wake up in it without feeling as though you slept in yesterday's clothes. That is the kind of comfort we want these pieces to earn through use.

Our long pajama set gives the most coverage. It makes sense in a cool bedroom, under strong air conditioning or for someone who simply prefers fabric over the arms and legs. The short set opens the night up: less coverage, the same familiar two-piece shape and an easier choice when the room stays warm.

The robe lives around sleep rather than replacing pajamas. Keep it near the shower, pull it over a T-shirt or wear it for the slow part of the morning. Its wrap front also makes it a thoughtful gift when you know the recipient's general size but do not want to guess at the fit of an entire set. Each item is sold separately, so check the product page before assuming a robe is included with pajamas.

Silk drapes beautifully, but woven silk does not stretch like jersey. A set that looks sharp while standing can still feel too close across the back when you reach forward or too tight through the seat when you sit. Measure chest, waist and hip, then compare those numbers with the chart for the exact product. Check inseam and sleeve length if those measurements are listed.

If you are between sizes, we usually favor a little more room for sleep. The shoulder seam should sit without pulling, the button placket should lie flat and the waistband should stay comfortable when seated. Our robe uses combined sizing, so do not carry a pajama size over without checking its own measurements.

Our current men's styles use 19 Momme mulberry silk. Momme describes fabric weight and density; in these pieces, 19 Momme gives us a balance we like for everyday sleepwear—fluid enough to move naturally, with enough body to feel like a finished garment.

Silk and satin do not mean the same thing. Silk is the fiber. Satin is a weave and may be made from polyester. We choose mulberry silk for the natural fiber, its smooth hand and its ability to feel light against the body. The reduced surface friction may also mean less rubbing against skin and body hair as you move, but pajamas cannot promise uninterrupted sleep or treat night sweats.

We do not want silk saved for a hotel or an anniversary. Follow the care label for the individual piece. Handwashing in cool water is the gentlest choice; where machine washing is permitted, turn the garment inside out, use a mesh bag, a delicate cycle and pH-neutral silk detergent. Skip bleach, softener and dryer heat.

Hang or lay the pieces in shade and give the seams time to dry fully before wearing them again. A second set can make care easier because neither one has to be rushed. Our silk care guide keeps the general routine in one place.
