The name is stupid but knitted jeans are wonderful!!!
Other people have made knitted jeans but they failed to adequately communicate the wonderfulness of the product and they didn't sell. While I think the name 'pajama jean' is stupid and just encouraging ridicule, it might make the jeans a success. Although I think 'yoga jean', workout jean, 'dance' jeans, etc would work while sounding less stupid. In fact, they could make different designs. People will probably buy one of each.
Anyway, I have pairs of knitted jeans from Lands End and from Sigrid Olsen. I found the Sigrid Olsen jeans in a resale shop and spent hours and hours scouring the web in hopes of finding more. Which is where I found the Lands End jeans, but unfortunately they were on clearance and being discontinued. I wrote to them to encourage them to keep them, but to no avail.
Also, in a resale shop, I've seen a pair of knitted corderoy jeans from Banana Republic, but unfortunately they didn't fit. And I spent hours searching the web for them as well. Lands End has knitted corderoy pants, but they are frumpy elastic waste pants. I may still get a pair if they are on clearance.
Bottom line, these knitted fabric jeans and cords are wonderful no matter what you call them. And you cannot tell they are made of knit fabric unless you touch them or see the underside.
