I've needed to get some new pajama bottoms for a couple years and kept flogging a couple pairs of old cotton fabric ones I should have tossed long ago. I finally got around to shopping online for new ones. I wanted something soft, and really comfortable, even a bit luxurious. Not cotton or flannel. A fly is OK (these don't have one) as long as it buttons.I settled on these modal pants from CK, though I found them a bit pricey. They arrived in the mail earlier this week and I tried them on. I was flabbergasted at how comfortable they are. Soft, stretchy and they feel amazing. I'm 5'9", a muscular 215 lbs. I wear 35/31 jeans and the size L in these fits me perfectly. The hem just grazes the floor. It's as if they were tailored for me. Loose enough to move in but they look fabulous and drape flatteringly. I was so impressed after trying them on, I went downstairs and ordered a second pair immediately.I've slept in them all week and am very pleased. They're just ridiculously comfortable and soft. I wake up occasionally in the middle of the night and immediately think of how pleasant they feel. It was definitely worth spending a bit more for this fabric. You won't be disappointed.The only downside I see is the elastic waistband instead of something with a drawstring. We'll see how that, as well as the rest of the pants, wears. I'll probably hand-wash these anyway (care advice says delicate cycle machine wash and normal tumble dry.)As for the huge care tags on them that other reviewers have raged about, I really don't understand people sometimes. Scissors. Five seconds. Problem solved ;).UPDATE: 4 months later. Still love them. The only problem is that I don't notice how ridiculously comfortable they are anymore because I'm so accustomed to it ;). I wear one pair to bed, the other lounging at home, and rotate them weekly. Very pleased with this purchase.UPDATE: 18 months later (May 2021). Still love them. I've rotated the two pairs weekly wearing them to bed between October and May. These two pair have made it through two winters. I've machine-washed them consistently. One of the pairs, however, wore through in the front thigh, which was disappointing. The other pair is still robust. I like them enough, however, that I bought another pair to replace the worn one when the price (which had been 40% higher during the COVID panic than it had been when I bought them in late 2019) dropped back to a reasonable level.UPDATE: 4 years later (September 2023) The second of the two pairs I bought in 2019 was just about to wear through on the front of the thigh in early May when I stopped wearing them to bed for the fall/winter/spring (as the first one did.) Not bad for four years of wearing these to bed nightly seven months of the year and rotating two pairs. Just bought a new pair. A splendid product.
