The cotton knit pajamas are generally comfortable, soft, and well-made, with many customers praising their coziness and warmth. However, a significant number of customers reported that the pajamas shrank considerably after the first wash, with the sleeves and pants becoming too short. This shrinkage issue seems to be a common complaint, despite the initial comfort and softness of the pajamas.
I purchased a Medium Short for my husband (he is 5'5") The pajama bottoms were still far too long. The top's sleeves were also too long and no cuffs on bottoms or tops which would

Comfy, cozy PJs
Fit: True to size
Great, warm and very comfortable. Nice to have larger sizes. Which are more than adequate. The only complaint is the slim color selection. Navy blue is great, rest, ugh

Very comfortable, warm but not hot, and of good quality. Size fit perfectly, even after washing. I always use low heat, maybe some of the shrinkage people report is from too high

Though I generally like these PJs, there is a problem. After a couple months, you'll start to see holes in the waist, at the top, where the fabric folds over the cord.
