On the hunt for women's flannel PJs with pant pockets

October 29, 2023 5:43 PM

Help me have a cozy winter where I don't have to tuck my phone into my bra when moving from room to room.

I've been looking, without success, for classic women's cotton flannel PJs that include pant pockets. Do you have pocket-bearing flannel jammies that you adore? Please tell me about them!

Bonus points for recommendations that include plus sizes and are available in Canada.

La Vie en Rose has plus sizes and usually has flannel. Just clicking on the first item on the website's banner returns these. As you can see, some have pockets.

I find the sizing a bit all over the place, so I'd recommend trying some things on in person instead of just ordering from the website.

The main thing I don't like about La Vie en Rose, is that outside of the sets, they don't really have co-ordinating tops and bottoms. Well, they do, but the bottoms are great and basic and the tops are stupid and cutesy with dumb sayings or cartoons or cartoons with sayings.

The other option I'd usually recommend is Northern Reflections, but I'm not seeing any flannel in stock yet.

If you search just for bottoms, the pictures are a pretty good indicator of which have pockets.

LL Bean has them and ships to Canada.

Garnet Hill's go up to a 16-18 (they run big IMO, I know that's not super inclusive though), last for a decade, and have ample pockets. I have a pair older than my 16yo!

They come and go at Uniqlo (just the bottoms). I’m about a size 18 and I get XL.

not flannel, but lands' end sport knits (100% cotton) have decent sized pockets

Are you open to alternative solutions? Centuries ago, pockets weren't integrated into clothing but tied on separately. A single pocket (or pair of pockets) could work with all your PJ pants.

You can find more information here: (link to V&A museum), including instructions on how to make your own.

(Yes, I've done this and use them often.)

A friend just scored some flannel pjs from Costco -- men's flannel pjs, so of course they have pockets -- and she's pretty pleased with her purchase. If that's an option. She said they may require some shortening of the legs at some point, but for now she's rolling up the waist.

The company store’s flannel notch collar pajamas have excellent pockets and are a nice thick flannel.

Although they don’t ship direct to Canada, their pajamas are also sold through Home Depot, which does ship internationally.

Best answer: Old Navy has some

Printfresh just introduced flannel jammies to their collection. I have a bunch of their cotton sets and they are beautiful, durable, and all come with pockets. Sizing goes up to 6X and they do ship to Canada.
