A Summer Essential: Meet the St James Red Pinstripe Short Pyjama Set
When the temperatures rise and the nights grow warmer, finding the right sleepwear can make all the difference. The Men’s Crisp Cotton Short Pyjama Set – St James Red Pinstripe is everything you need in a summer pyjama: cool, breathable, timeless, and stylish. Whether you're lounging on a balcony in the Mediterranean or simply enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning at home, this set ensures you stay comfortable while looking effortlessly sharp.
The Beauty of Crisp Cotton
The fabric choice is at the heart of this collection. Made from 100% crisp cotton, the St James pyjama set is woven from the same fine-quality shirting fabric used in our private-label Jermyn Street tailoring. The result? A luxuriously smooth feel against the skin, ideal for warm nights and long, lazy mornings.
Crisp cotton is naturally breathable, allowing air to circulate while you sleep. Unlike synthetic fabrics that trap heat or cling to your body, this cotton keeps you cool and fresh — even when the mercury rises. It's the perfect blend of structure and softness, maintaining its shape while offering all the ease you want from a pair of pyjamas.
A Stripe That Speaks of Summer
The St James Red Pinstripe pattern is a standout design that brings classic tailoring into the realm of loungewear. The fine red and white stripes create a clean, refined look, while the navy piping adds a touch of contrast and sophistication. It’s the kind of detail you'd expect from a tailored shirt — and it elevates these pyjamas to something much more than sleepwear.
Stripes have always had a place in fashion history. Traditionally used in men's suiting and classic shirting, they’ve found a new home in nightwear, bringing with them a sense of understated luxury. The St James Red Pinstripe design offers a fresh, smart aesthetic that works just as well for a morning coffee on the patio as it does for a restful night’s sleep.
Smart Design, Down to the Details
This men’s pyjama set is all about thoughtful touches. The shirt features three pockets — two lower patch pockets and a chest pocket — ideal for keeping glasses, phones, or reading materials within easy reach. The notch collar gives it that traditional PJ look, while the curved hem ensures a relaxed and flattering silhouette.
The shorts are tailored for ease, with a soft elastic waistband and a self-fabric tie that lets you adjust the fit to suit your comfort. They sit just right — not too baggy, not too fitted — offering freedom of movement without sacrificing style.
Whether you’re heading off on holiday or just want a cooler sleepwear option for summer, these pyjamas are made to deliver.
With its breathable weave, cool-to-the-touch fabric, and lightweight design, this set is tailor-made for warmer climates and summer nights. Yet, just like all our crisp cotton pyjamas, it’s also incredibly durable. You can machine wash it at 30 degrees, and it gets softer over time without losing that sharp, freshly-laundered look. Available in sizes S to XXL, this set is designed to fit real bodies — not mannequins — so you can enjoy comfort without compromise. If you’re unsure about sizing, we recommend rounding up for a more relaxed, looser fit.
A Complete Collection of Refined Nightwear
If you’re drawn to the refined charm of the St James Red Pinstripe, you’ll be pleased to know that the pattern runs throughout a full collection. From the matching dressing gown and nightshirt, to full-length trousers and pyjama set options, you can build a sleepwear wardrobe that’s as smart and considered as the rest of your wardrobe. Pair your short set with one of our organic-cotton tees or layer it under the dressing gown for a morning look that feels as luxurious as it looks. It’s all about elevating the everyday.
Pyjamas That Look as Good as They Feel
Great sleepwear does more than just help you sleep — it boosts your mood, enhances your downtime, and reflects your personal style. The St James Red Pinstripe Short Pyjama Set does all of that and more. With its crisp fabric, timeless design, and subtle details, it’s a staple piece you’ll keep coming back to — summer after summer. Comfort, elegance, and practicality, all woven into one classic set. Isn’t it time your pyjamas looked as good as the rest of your wardrobe?
