In an age of fast fashion and fleeting trends, there's something reassuringly classic about slipping into a well-made nightshirt at the end of a long day. At British Boxers, we’ve reimagined the men’s nightshirt with heritage fabrics, traditional tailoring, and a focus on supreme comfort. Whether you're lounging in the morning or settling down for a restful night, our men's nightshirts are designed to bring a sense of calm, comfort and understated elegance to your bedtime ritual.

A Brief History: Why Did Men Wear Nightshirts?

Before the rise of two-piece pyjamas, the nightshirt was the go-to sleepwear for men across Europe. Its origins date back centuries, chosen for its practical design, ease of movement, and warmth. The roomy cut allowed for undisturbed sleep, while the long length provided coverage and comfort throughout the night. Today, we honour this tradition with modern updates that retain the classic charm while delivering an upgraded experience in both fit and fabric.

Crafted for Comfort: The Fabric That Makes the Difference

All our men’s nightshirts are crafted from 100% brushed cotton, woven to our own exacting specifications. What sets brushed cotton apart is its irresistibly soft texture—achieved through repeated brushing of the fibres, which raises a delicate nap on the surface for a truly luxurious feel. These aren’t just nightshirts; they’re sleepwear essentials you’ll look forward to wearing night after night. The Brighton Blue Stripe nightshirt brings a cool, classic feel with its crisp blue tones and sharp vertical stripe pattern, perfect for those who prefer a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Meanwhile, the Jura Tartan nightshirt leans into traditional British heritage with rich, moody greens and blues woven in a timeless tartan design. Both feature French seams, a three-button opening, and a chest pocket—subtle details that elevate the overall finish and durability.

Designed with You in Mind

Our nightshirts are generously cut for freedom of movement and comfort, falling just below the knee with a 47” (120cm) length. Whether you’re lounging on a lazy Sunday or sleeping soundly through a cool autumn night, the breathable brushed cotton offers warmth without overheating—ideal for transitional seasons. Pair them with one of our matching dressing gowns, pyjama trousers, or shorts to complete the set. With sizes ranging from S to XXL and designed for a relaxed fit, there’s something here for everyone who values comfort with a classic twist.
