Do these shorts have pockets?

No, these shorts do not have pockets. The design is streamlined for comfort and sleeping.

How do I know what size to order?

The elastic waistband and adjustable drawstring provide some flexibility within each size, so if you're between sizes you can usually go with your usual sleepwear size. The fit is relaxed rather than fitted.

Can I put these in the dryer?

Pima cotton is durable and can typically handle machine drying, though air drying will help the fabric last longer and reduce shrinkage over time.

Are these see-through or sheer?

No, the fabric weight is substantial enough to be opaque. The black color also provides full coverage.

Will the drawstring come out in the wash?

Drawstrings in well-made garments are typically secured at both ends or stitched through the waistband to prevent them from pulling out during washing.

Why it's on GiftsFeed

Drawstring sleep shorts with side slits, sewn from Peruvian pima cotton

Most sleep shorts are either flimsy jersey that pills in a month or thick fleece that turns your bed into a sauna. These use pima cotton—the kind with long, unbroken fibers that stay smooth and strong even after dozens of washes. The adjustable drawstring solves the chronic problem of elastic waistbands that either dig in or slide down, and the side slits are a small detail that makes a real difference when you're shifting positions at night. Worth it if you've been cycling through cheap lounge shorts that fall apart or feel wrong from the start.

Good gift when

People who sleep warm and need breathable fabric
Anyone who finds typical elastic waistbands too tight or too loose
Those who want lounge shorts that look intentional, not sloppy
Fans of natural fibers over synthetic blends

Skip it if If you need pockets for keeping a phone or keys close by, these won't work—the design is minimal and focused on comfort rather than utility.

The details

These sleep shorts are cut from pima cotton sourced and sewn in Peru, where the climate and altitude produce some of the longest, smoothest fibers in the world. The fabric drapes without clinging, stays soft wash after wash, and breathes well enough for warm sleepers or summer nights.

The waistband is elastic all the way around, topped with an adjustable drawstring so you can cinch or loosen the fit without wrestling with buttons or snaps. Side slits at the hem add range of motion and keep the legs from riding up when you move. The result is a pair of shorts that stays put without feeling restrictive.

Available in black, the shorts work as sleepwear or as lounge pieces you can wear around the house without feeling underdressed. The fabric weight strikes a middle ground—not so thin it shows every wrinkle, not so heavy it traps heat. Pima cotton holds color well, so the black stays deep rather than fading to gray after a few washes.

Because these are cut with a relaxed fit and the waist adjusts with the drawstring, they accommodate a range of body types within each size. The slits at the sides sit high enough to matter when you're stretching or climbing into bed, but low enough that they don't show when you're standing still.
