Do
you like to go about town wearing comfy pajama pants? Not in Shreveport,
Louisiana, you won't ... if a local parish commissioner has his way!
Caddo Parish District 3 Commission Michael Williams said it was an incident at a local Walmart that offended him and some elderly customers that spurred him to push for an ordinance that would prohibit wearing pajama pants in public.
"I saw a group of young men wearing pajama pants and house shoes," he said. "At the part where there should have been underwear," his private parts were showing through the fabric. [...]
"Pajamas are designed to be worn in the bedroom at night," Williams said. "If you can't (wear pajamas) at the Boardwalk or courthouse, why are you going to do it in a restaurant or in public? Today it's pajamas," Williams said. "Tomorrow it's underwear. Where does it stop?"
Don't worry people, there's always Pajama Jeans!
So, what do you think, Neatoramanauts? Should wearing pajamas in public be banned? The Shreveport Times covered this important issue: Link (Photo: Mike Silva/The Shreveport Times) - via The Maddow Blow

Remember all the hullabaloo about a grocery store banning customers who shopped in pajamas? Well, your cries of outrage were heard, dear readers …
Behold, the PajamaJeans:
The Pajama Jeans sports a bevy of details that make it look like a regular pair of dark wash pants – authentic denim color, high-contrast stitching, back pockets with stitched designs and brass rivets. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were wearing a pair of counterfeit designer jeans you bought from a powerselling Hong Kong dealer on eBay.
However, it really isn’t. Unlike real jeans, it uses Dormisoft fabric (a proprietary blend of cotton and spandex) that’s both stretchy and cushy, yet gives off a very jersey-like feel. Inside, it’s completely brushed, making it as smooth as fleece. Basically, it’s really just a pair of casual pants that should be so soft and comfortable, you wouldn’t mind wearing them to bed. Like a more stylish pair of mom jeans, probably.
My 2yo daughter loves her footie pajamas – you know, pajama "suits" that have built in "shoes." My wife and I joked that she’s going to continue wearing them to sleep even after she’s grown up.
It seems that our fears weren’t so ridiculous after all: there actually are such things as footed pajamas for adults: Link – Thanks Tiff!
