Frequently Asked Questions
What is a men’s nightshirt and how is it different from pyjamas?
A men’s nightshirt is a long, loose-fitting cotton shirt designed for sleeping or relaxing at home. Unlike pyjamas, which come as two separate pieces, nightshirts are a one-piece garment — offering comfort without waistbands or buttons that can feel restrictive in bed. They’re a classic choice for men who value ease and traditional style in their nightwear.
Are men’s nightshirts suitable for all seasons?
Yes — our cotton nightshirts are naturally breathable and designed for year-round comfort. Brushed cotton options are warmer for winter, while lighter poplin or plain-weave cotton styles feel cool in spring and summer. Their relaxed fit also allows air to circulate, helping you stay at just the right temperature through the night.
What fabrics do you use in your nightshirts?
All of our men’s nightshirts are made from 100% natural cotton — selected for softness, durability, and breathability. We offer brushed cotton for extra warmth and a velvety finish, as well as smooth woven cotton for lighter, more structured options. Both feel soft against the skin and wash beautifully.
How do I choose the right size for a nightshirt?
Our nightshirts are designed with a relaxed fit, so we recommend choosing your usual shirt or pyjama size. If you prefer a more generous or oversized feel, consider sizing up. Each product page includes detailed measurements, and our team is happy to help if you’re unsure which size will suit you best.
How should I wash and care for a cotton nightshirt?
We recommend machine washing your nightshirt inside out at 30–40°C using a gentle detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to preserve the cotton’s natural texture. For best results, hang to dry and iron on a low setting if needed. With proper care, our cotton nightshirts will soften beautifully over time while maintaining their shape.

Our men’s nightshirts are cut for ease of movement — no waistbands or tight seams, just effortless comfort in a loose, breathable silhouette.
