Have you heard about Pajama Jeans? I just recently saw an infomercial for them. For those of you not “in the know” about these things, Google it. I’ll wait.
Now that we’ve all seen them, I’m confused (not always hard to achieve in case you’re wondering).
A pair cost $39.95 plus shipping and handling of $7.95 for a grand total of $47.90. I can buy really nice jeans that fit me very well at JCPenny (LOVE that store!) for about $21.99 during a sale. Granted, sales tax will run me an extra $1.23 for a grand total of $23.22. Shit, that’s half the cost!
But wait, there’s more! If I order today, I get a “free” grey t-shirt. They call the “outfit” a $100 value. Honestly? The t-shirt is worth $60.05? Oh goodie, just what I need. Meh.
Their website says to allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. Hmmm, if I go to my local store I can have my ‘normal’ jeans almost instantly. I may have to wait in a checkout line for a couple of minutes though.
They offer a 60 day guarantee. I can just skip buying the jeans after I try them on in the store if they don’t fit. Or, I can return them quite quickly (with no extra shipping charges) if I decide I don’t like them or the way the look on me. What to do, what to do?
The infomercial says “It’s a struggle to get into regular jeans.” Ummm, no. I buy the right size and they slide right on! They even button. Miracle of miracles.
Pajama Jeans are called stylish and sexy. Really? Sweatpants (or pajamas as they call them) are stylish? Sexy? Really, really? Not so much.
I will give them some credit. They do have sizes to 3X. That’s the way to go in today’s crazy eating, getting to be obese world (of which, sadly, I’m a part). They do have small sizes (as low as size 4) for those of you that are thin. So, they’ve got that covered. Good for them.
Confusion abounds. Why do I need a pair? Why would I pay that much for sweatpants? Why would I wait that long to get them? Do I need a grey t-shirt that badly?
And one last question: Will I order a pair? I can definitively say NO.
