A big "thanks!" to Jeff who pointed out this little number that J.Crew is offering. At first, I was going to use it for a "Love It or Leave It" post, but upon closer look I thought it was better "suited" for the "Questionable Item of the Week".

Where to begin... ;) First, I totally agree with Jeff's comment of "I especially like the model's pose in the first pic. It's as if he was wearing a suit or something." It's true! The model (shown in the image to the left) is striking such a serious pose. The pose would be fine if he was wearing a regular three-piece suit, but not so much for pajamas that have antlers all over. ;)

Second, I am totally not loving the close up of the behind. The image (shown to the right) is unflattering. For some reason, I find the description of "button placket" super un-sexy too.

Third, of course the pajamas "wards off the chill on cold winter nights", since a guy is most likely to wear these comfortably around the home when he is alone. ;) (In all fairness, I have clothes I wear around the house, like sweatpants, that I would not be caught dead with in public.)

Fourth, I think that price of $69.50 seems a bit high for some pajamas with a "festive hunting lodge antler print". When I showed this item to my husband and asked if he would buy let alone wear it, he laughed, said "c'mon", and walked away laughing some more.

I should quickly add that I do think the pajamas would look a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e on any one of the {super cute} boys featured in J.Crew's Crewcuts catalog. But on a grown man... not so much. ;)

What are your thoughts on the union suit for men? Do you think I am being overly critical? Would you buy this or leave it at the store? Have you see this first hand, and if so, what are your impressions? Do you think this would make an excellent gift for the holidays? ;)
