This two piece vintage set was originally sold as pajamas in the 1950s. A modern guy would probably use the pieces separately as a great daytime shirt with khakis or jeans and easy comfort pants with just about any top! The shirt is fairly loose to the body, with a flyout collar and gently vee-shaped wrist cuffs. The easy-fit pants are elasticized in back, and have stitched down faux cuffs. All construction seams are flat felled, similar to jeans, so there is no loose edge to fray.

FABRIC/COLORS: I love this light weight novelty weave plaid, using beige and sandstone and umber brown with a narrow stripe of variegated thickness cream-to-black that adds a bit of textural interest. Labeled as a dacron/cotton blend.
TAGS: Master Needles by Weldon
CLOSURES: The shirt closes with three large MOP buttons with a matching smaller button a little below the collar. The pants have a button front fly, and have buttoned tabs at the side seams to adjust fit.
CONDITION: There is some very minor pilling at the neckline and slight yellowish discoloration on some of the inner facing (not seen when worn). No other issues noted.
