Mens Onesie Pajamas Biography

Any type of sleepwear appears to be a relatively recent innovation and pyjamas or adult onesies even more so.

For much of human history, only the very wealthy would have had clothing made just for sleeping in. In general, people were so tired from physical labour or hunger that they slept in their daily wear or , if they were lucky, an undershirt or smock”, which was like a vest worn next to the skin and washed every six months whether it needed it or not.

Since the Middle Ages men gradually started to wear nightshirts but then in the 18th century, colonials started introducing pyjamas to Britain. The word pyjama stems from the Hindi word paejama, meaning “leg covering”. The first recorded use of the word in English came from 1800, in a “Memorandum relative to Tippoo Sultaun’s wardrobe” (OED). If you read an English novel from before that date (e.g. Henry Fielding’s Tom Jones, 1749), you’ll find accounts of men wearing nightgowns and not pyjamas when they sleep.

According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, Pyjamas “were introduced in England as lounging attire in the 17th century but soon went out of fashion. About 1870 they reappeared in the Western world as sleeping attire for men, after returning British colonials brought (them) back…”

By the 1880s retailers were offering the two-piece jacket and “loose trousers tied at the waist” that we recognise now. By the 1930s pyjamas had become a key part of a man’s wardrobe. They were even worn at home as elegant evening attire in materials such as silk and cotton – loungewear had arrived.
The men of National Review took a break from chopping down trees in Appalachia or whatever uber-manly things they normally do to pillory the ad on four separate occasions, with Charles Cooke claiming that "pajama boy" is the "id" of the entire left.
Onsies are damn comfortable. If it were socially acceptable I would wear footie pajamas all day, every day. But the implication of the criticism is that your masculinity is somehow tied to how you look or dress, which is weird, because my dad always told me it would about being honest, keeping your promise, and devoting yourself to others (just like Jesus). This faux-outrage reminds me of Tony Porter's "man box," where men are so busy blustering they forget who they are.
But seriously, does the Republican Party, which polls about as well with women as hunting does with PETA members, have some sort of Freudian death wish? Or is their new criticism of Obamacare that it's "gay?" In fact, this hyper-masculinity is rooted in Republican politics, from the top down.

Cognitive linguist George Lakoff notes the Republicans think of government in terms of a "strict father," while Democrats think in terms of a "nurturant parent." Thus, Rich Lowry worries that a man wearing footie pajamas is "the picture of perpetual adolescence." The worry is that the social safety net and unemployment insurance will make people lazy and the poor need "tough love" instead (because homelessness is a cakewalk). Therefore Obamacare, which envisions a more compassionate state, must be equated with weakness.

The problem is that the right's definition of conservativism is, and will likely always be, exclusively popular among white men who would never be comfortable in a onesie. But manly white men aren't necessary anymore. We don't need Spartanesque manly men for our 300-style war against the Persians. But conservatives don't like that. Harvey Mansfield has written a book, Manliness, warning us of the consequences of a society with thumos.

Now that manly white men have to watch what they say and do, they are lashing out. All this hullabaloo at National Review is really just longing for another era, when government generally minded its own business and predation was rampant, when women, workers, and minorities were violently oppressed and the white man made decisions. They want social Darwinism. Instead we have social democracy. But that day is over. Footie pajamas have won. Tolerance is cool. We just have to wait for the ubermen of the days of yore to finish their hyperventilation and we can move on.
