MEN'S PAJAMAS and DRESSING GOWNS

[LaMedicine]

it looks very much like "Damask" a popular fabric in the thirties"

Damask is a kind of weave, not fabric itself, so damasks can be linen, silk, polyester, rayon, cotton, wool, anything.

Gorgeous robe!!!

Bump (if need be). Ah, Derek Rose has a gorgeous cashmere gown for only L19999. Sigh, so luxurious... If the gentleman had this, what paramour wouldn't want to sleep in it with him- ahem, meaning both otherwise unclothed laying skin to skin with it draped over them both?? Dreamy...

Derek Rose in the UK still make silk dressing gowns as well as their more mundane brother, the robe.

I have to agree on the coolness of smoking jackets. I especially like the Chinese-made ones from the 1920s and 30s. On ebay I bought a silk smoking jacket made in 1920s Shanghai. The name and address of the tailor are on the label. Shanghai and Hong Kong had the superior tailors back then. I should say though that I wouldn't buy anything made in China after 1949.

Japanese-made smoking jackets from the 1950s and 60s look similar but I don't care for the shape of the collars or the piping.

A few years back I bought some vintage pajamas on ebay. The background color is some old shade of blue that I don't think is used anymore.

I just remembered I had these photos from a while back before I found the cord for my camera.

and just for fun, here is a bad pic of me wearing the robe.

Any ideas as to the date? Thoughts in general about it?

I ran across a vintage mens long nightshirt the other day. Red and white striped. Large. Brand: Diplomat. Good clean condition. Not sure of actual age. The kind of thing you'd see with just the stocking cap and slippers as accompaniment. Think anyone would want it if I bought it and hocked it here on the TFL Classifieds? Re-enactors of some sort maybe?...

Think anyone would want it

I bought one immediately after seeing Jeff Bridges romp though The Door in the Floor wearing one. That was six years ago and I've never worn it....

Please post some pics of the striped nightshirts? I like those.

every gentleman needs a good pair of pajamas and robe in case he ends up in the hospital.

...and his trusty fedora, should the nursing staff be as kind as that which I was fortunate enough to encounter.

OK. That shop is closed Mondays. Tomorrow, I'll see if it's still there (probably).

No nattily-dressed E.R. patient should be without one.

My son in June, 2008. The nursing staff wasn't necessarily "kind" per se, they just didn't care. :cool2:

These are very well priced I have just purchased a black and silver dressing gown (supposedly 60s dead stock) with a paisley design and black collar, and a gold satin smoking jacket also with a black shawl collar so a pair of these satin Pyjamas seems just the ticket!"

 

[BinkieBaumont]

"This the new Dressing Gown, its Canadian and labeled "majestic" supposedly 1960's dead stock and certainly in mint condition

"My smoking Jacket in heavy Satin in a "Olde Gold" colour , labeled "Roytex, ( for modern living) with a subtle "Deco Design, Im glad that they both have Black Collars and cuffs, just need to get Black satin Pyjamas"

The flash has changed the colour it is in fact Gold as in the main photograph

"Black satin pyjamas with white piping on jacket and pants"

I have about 4 plain nightshirts and love them as they are so comfortable.

I have about the same number. I use them in summer and sometimes in winter. I find pajamas constricting. [huh]
There are likely a few pictures of me around here in some of my smoking jackets. I wore a few (the smoking jackets not the night shirts) at the QM event last week.
