History of Pajamas at Big Feet Pajama Company

The History Of Your Favorite Sleepwear

Pajamas are clothing garments that are generally worn when sleeping or napping. The word "pajama" was incorporated into English from the Hindustani language and originally derives from the Persian word "dayjama" meaning leg garment.

Pajamas were originally introduced in England during the 17th Century and used as loungewear. They soon went out of fashion, but were brought back around 1870 by cowboys and settlers in the West.

There are a variety of spellings and nicknames for pajamas. In Europe, they are known as "pyjamas" and are sometimes referred to as blanket sleepers or sleep suits. In Asia and South Africa, they are referred to as night suits and are sometimes spelled "pijamas." In colloquial speech, sleeping pajamas are often called "pjs", "jim jams" or "jammies."
