Sizing guide by fabricUpdated 2 months ago

As we offer a variety of luxurious fabrics and silhouettes, please note that fit may vary depending on the material and style of each pajama. In general, we recommend using the guide below to determine your ideal size for our classic, relaxed-fit pajama silhouette:


  • Silk - If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Our silk is crafted from 100% pure mulberry silk, a delicate natural fiber that does not stretch. Choosing a size too small may place tension on the seams and fabric, which can cause damage over time as the silk’s natural proteins lose strength. For lasting beauty and comfort, a slightly looser fit is always best.
  • Twill - If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Our twill is a woven cotton fabric with a crisp, cool handfeel and a beautifully structured, tailored drape. It softens subtly with wear, molding comfortably to your body. We often compare it to a classic, perfectly pressed button-up shirt — ideal for those who appreciate a polished, refined look.
  • Pima - If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing down. Our Pima collection is crafted from the finest Peruvian cotton, a luxurious jersey knit that offers gentle stretch and exceptional softness. This fabric provides comfort and ease without losing its shape — making it perfect for those who love a supple, flattering fit.
  • Brushed Twill - If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Our brushed twill is a woven cotton fabric that offers the same tailored look as our classic twill, but with a heavier brush for a velvety-soft feel. Similar to a lightweight flannel, it provides the cozy texture of flannel without the extra warmth — a wonderful choice for those who sleep warm but want a touch of softness during cooler months.
  • Flannel - If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Our flannel is a sumptuously soft woven cotton, and the warmest fabric we offer. Because of its thickness and weight, flannel has less natural give when worn. Over time, the cotton fibers will relax slightly, but we suggest sizing up to allow for 3–5% natural shrinkage after washing and to maintain an easy, comfortable fit.
