History, Information, and The Benefits of Male Nightshirts

Nightshirts - not just for women anymore!

Nightwear for men isn't as easy to come by as it is for women, particularly when it comes to male nightshirts. This is only a recent issue, as men have been wearing these garments for centuries, thanks to convenience and comfort. Today, you can find nightshirts for men easier online as opposed to in-store and Wittmann Textiles Company has a huge selection to fit just right with sizes from Small to 6X-Large in some styles.  If you cannot find the size you are looking for, please call our helpful staff that will find a nightshirt and the type of 100% cotton material you that you desire and proper fit.

What Is A Nightshirt?

A nightshirt, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is a one-piece apparel item worn for sleep. It is typically loose-fitting and stops at the knees. Some might confuse a nightshirt with a shirt that is worn with pajama pants or shorts, but that is not the case. A true nightshirt is one garment, longer than a typical shirt.  Wittmann Textiles has both the 45 inch that comes to the knees of a man 6 foot tall and a longer 55 inch for men over 6 foot 2 inches called the long 55 inch length.

History of Nightshirts

Since the Middle Ages, nightshirts have been worn. They were worn under regular clothing and when it was time to sleep, the undergarment would stay on. After the 14th century, nightshirts were the most common nighttime garment for men, women, and children. Since then, quite a bit has changed. We now see nightshirts made from different fabrics and we're also seeing different sleeve lengths and even different collar designs.  Wittmann Textiles Company provides both the very plain men's nightshirt in several lighter all cotton fabrics, mens 100% cotton flannel nightshirts, and then the heavier knit henley 100% cotton knit nightshirts that are more like a rugby weight knit cotton that is superior to the flannel for longer wear year after year.

Benefits of Wearing a Nightshirt

There are several reasons why wearing a nightshirt for males is beneficial.
Male nightshirts are very comfortable and can be put on and taken off with ease, very durable wash after wash, soft cotton material for comfort,
loose-fit that allows nothing to bind on the waistline, no side seams for the feeling of sleeping in the buff, and makes a great comfort difference for people after surgery or bed ridden.

Buying Nightshirts

Before purchasing a nightshirt, you'll want to consider which type of fabric you prefer and whether or not you want a specific length. Once you have a general idea of what you're looking for, you can consider different sleeve lengths and material comfort considerations, as well as whether or not you want a specific color or design. Wittmann Textiles Company urges our customer/friends to read the description and size chart prior to placing your order for the different types of cotton nightshirts that might interest you, some styles vary in sizing and you will be able to tell by each sizing chart provided.  If you have further questions, the customer service staff know our nightshirts and can help with suggestions that will make the experience much better the very first time!

All in all, nightshirts for men provide a level of comfort that cannot be beat. If you're not certain whether or not they're for you or a loved one, the best course of action is to try one out and experience the comfort for yourself.
