I saw a commercial on television for Pajama Jeans and though my wife might like these for Mothers Day – if she didn’t at least they were a relatively inexpensive gag-gift. I didn't catch the name of the company who was advertising the pants, only the name of the product. I went online and searched for "Pajama Jeans" and found many reviews. After reading some amusing comments and reading that several people had paid $39.95 for a pair I finally came across the website for pajamagram.com where they were being sold. To my dismay, the price on the website listed a pants and t-shirt combo at $59.95 - much higher than what other people had paid. Because I have experience in the textile business I’m confident the shirt they were offering did not cost them over $3.00 wholesale - hardly a good package deal for the buyer.
I was hoping that there was a mistake and that I might be able to buy the pants separately without the t-shirt "deal" so I decided to call pajamagram's 800 number. After reaching a less than accommodating order taker and explaining to him what I saw online vs. what the price was on the website, he confirmed that the price was $59.95 and said that the $39.95 price was just a "promotional" price. He tried to convince me how nice they were and that the price was a great deal.
First of all, there is absolutely no way I would pay $60 for a pair of pajama pants that I cannot see in person. There is too much risk in buying something that may end up being horribly made. I believe the pajamagram company is jacking up the price specifically to take advantage of Mothers Day buyers. I have decided to buy something I know she will like instead and wait for these pants to be knocked off, renamed, and sold for $29.95. I figure by October the late night infomercials will start rolling them out just in time for Christmas.
