By 1925, as central heat became increasingly commonplace, the switch from men's nightshirts to pajamas gathered full force as the warmth factor was no longer quite as paramount.

In what country do pajamas originate?

According to the Oxford English Dictionary online, the word pajamas is of Persian origin, first used in 1801. http://theboard.byu.edu/index.php?area=posts&date=2006.06.20&archives=1 The word pajama comes from a Hindi word that means "leg clothing". Pajamas were introduced around 1880 from India for men to wear for sleeping instead of nightshirts. You can listen to a podcast about the origin of the word pajamas at this site http://podictionary.libsyn.com.... Nightshirts were like a long man's shirt, that came down to the knee or midcalf. Pajamas are different because they cover the legs, whether it be a shirt and pants, or the one-piece footie pjs. You can still buy the footed pajamas, they sell them in adult sizes at this site http://www.jumpinjammerz.com/d.... As for the red-striped gown with a long cap, I didn't find any official source saying this is the most common idea of pajamas. I know I didn't picture this when I first thought of pajamas. I think of some flannel plaid shirt and pants. Plus, a gown technically isn't pajamas, since it doesn't involve trousers (look at any definition of pajamas, such as at http://dictionary.reference.co...). I think that would fall in the category of a nightshirt.
