    Hear me out:

    Bamboo pajamas

    I WFH so negl I am in jammies most of the time (yeah I throw on a corporate tshirt for the annoying “cams-on” zooms but still wearing jammie bottoms)

    Wife got bamboo onesies for the baby. So soft. Then she found they also make adult jammies of the same material. Omfg. Where was this all my life till now?

    You have not lived till you wear soft bamboo clothes. Worth every penny.

      I remember hearing back during COVID when everyone was WFH that sales of business pants had tanked. Sales of business shirts hadn’t. So that tracks.

        Interesting, never heard of this till now. May become my new go-to.

        Internet rabbit hole summary:

        • made out of Beechwood
        • subjectively ~10% softer than bamboo
        • brand name is owned by an Austrian company that follows strictest Euro regulations incl:
          • 95-99% closed-loop chemical re-use
          • sustainable tree sourcing in European forests with neither irrigation nor pesticides

        Jesus Christ, it’s like ecocide not to switch to the softer alternative.

        Moreover, to my surprise, the prices are about the same. Top and bottom are each in the ~$35-45 range, or an oversize sleep shirt for ~$50-60

        Down sides, apparently Bamboo:

        • is sturdier
        • breathes better

        Anyway, ordered a identical pair off Etsy for myself and the wife. Will be fun to compare.
        Thank you, Fedi Person!

      I’ve found that my bamboo garments stretch out and pill. Is that a common thing for bamboo or did I get unlucky with the quality?
