Taiwan-based Star Alliance member EVA Air has today unveiled its newest pajamas for business class passengers, which are anything but traditional. There aren’t many airlines offering pajamas in business class, so getting them at all is a treat. However, EVA Air really takes it to the next level, mixing comfort and fashion.

The real question is: would you wear this off the plane (and not change back into your clothes)? 😉
Lucky should try the new 787 business class departing from Europe. They're quite good compared to the (at this point) a bit tired looking 777.
Their current pajamas are already quite good, and the new ones look pretty much the same except for new colors and the hood - which I wouldn't need at all. But if the quality remains the same, that's fine for me.
Their sizes are pretty funny though. I'm quite "oversized" (usually wearing European 3XL size). EVA's biggest pajama size is XL and the top is a bit too tight and short - still okay for a flight, but not exactly my size. At the same time, the pants in size L are just perfect for a 6ft person, while XL is way too long.
And of course I agree with you that their soft product is exceptional, but their 787s also have an exceptional hard product in my opinion (while their old 777s are rather bad by today's standards). Now if they would just have good lounges in Taipei... that's where China Airlines is still way ahead of them.
They also announced new dining collabs and amenity kits from Furla and Kipling for premium econ and Giorgio Armani for business class: https://www.evaair.com/zh-tw/about-eva-air/news/news-releases/2023-06-28-evaairxstar-alliance-10th.html (Link in Chinese)
Watch out for someone wearing these at your nearest WalMart.
Airline pajamas find their way onto E-Bay, CraigsList et al, and are snapped up by premium-airlines wannabes who want to make a statement.
Not sure how that statement in interpreted by others though!
Ben, it's too bad Qantas didn't have these back in the day when you deplaned and wore pajamas into the lounge in Singapore. Still one of my favorite posts here.
I do, they're super comfortable. I use them on other airlines too, like United. It opens the door for conversation with the flight crew that they have a high bar to beat against EVA. MOST f/a's accept the challenge and they do very well, considering what United gives them to work with
Who pays whom in this situation? Does the airline pay the designer or does the designer offer his services for free for the exposure?
I got 2 sets of these on a trip to Taiwan back in mid-July. Unfortunately the material is 65% polyester/35% cotton so it was very hot. Eventually I had to change out of these to get some shut eye.
Have you heard of Jason Wu? He is a famous designer. He made his name in the fashion industry because of Michelle Obama. He has also designed dresses for other famous people such as Ru Paul and January Jones.
My wife and I recently flew from jfk to tpe on eva business class. The sleep ware is indeed comfortable. Before pandemic Delta had similar PK ware and is equally comfortable. I did see some yahoos wore them in airport.
Two weeks ago from Saigon to Taipei on Eva airline business class 787~10 very nice plane pajamas were offered I think because it was just a three hour flight food was good. The service was excellent. I will fly Them again.
That is enough to make me break out in sweats. Who wears 65% polyester blend pyjamas??? ♂️
Personally not thrilled with the over-the-head top design.
And the narrower pant leg means more difficult to put feet through.
I don't like to change into pjs on long biz flights anyway.
First, tight squeeze in the bathroom and the "pressure" to do it quickly. Don't know how anyone over 5'2" doesn't get claustrophobic in a plane bathroom.
Second, don’t like "sweeping" sketchy plane bathroom floors with my clothes coming off and pj's coming on and back.
I just wear a comfortable wrinkleproof outfit that isnt sloppy looking on board.
Relax: the American-preferred spelling is "pajamas". Elsewhere in the world it is the "pajamas".

Kind of you to get the keyword into the search. As an American, when I search for pajamas internationally- I defer to the world's preferred spelling.
Many of us arrive at the airport in our airlines PJs and liquidate the new set or gift them to family. If I'm going to Taiwan on a 26 hour flight with layovers, it won't be in Armani or Boss. I intend to be comfortable.
I prefer to fly Qatar Airlines, and Wal-Mart delivers my groceries due to shopping being an inefficient use of my time. I would expect anyone wearing complimentary airline pajamas in a vast warehouse store like Wal-Mart to be an au pair or housekeeper. When going to such places and neighborhoods, dress with class consciousness and blend.
