Men's Velour Pyjamas

Velour is one of the warmest materials used by Mariner Underwear, and this collection is designed entirely around this fabric. The men's velour pajamas feature a short-pile knit with a soft, brushed finish; they are primarily made of cotton blended with a small amount of polyester or elastane to ensure stretch. On a cold winter night in the UK, this combination of softness and warmth is far more valuable than what lighter cotton sleepwear offers. Each set consists of a matching top and bottom in a single color, designed for both lounging at home and sleeping.

Velour Fabric and Cotton-Blend Warmth

Most of the range is 80% cotton and 20% polyester, brushed to raise a soft pile on the surface. That brushing traps air close to the body, so the fabric holds warmth better than a plain cotton weave of the same weight, while the cotton content keeps it breathable rather than sweaty. The density of the knit does most of the insulating work, which is why velour suits the colder months rather than year-round wear. Every set in the collection uses ribbed trims at the cuffs, collar or hem to seal in that warmth at the openings, and each piece is machine washable.

Jogger-Style Velour Sets in Navy, Burgundy and Stripe

Four of the five sets in this collection share a jogger-style cut: a round-neck top with ribbed trims, paired with matching trousers in the same fabric. The burgundy set pairs a plum top with a navy hem trim and a chest pocket that closes with a snap button, a practical detail on an otherwise simple top. The navy set uses a jacquard geometric pattern on the top with plain trousers to match, giving it a slightly dressier finish than the plain sets, and its top blends 95% polyester with 5% elastane for extra stretch, while the trousers stay in the usual cotton-polyester velour. Two striped sets round out the jogger styles: a navy stripe top in yarn-dyed blue tones with plain navy trousers, and a finer red-and-beige stripe top with plain beige trousers, both finished with the same ribbed trims at the cuffs and hem.

V-Neck Velour Pyjamas with Straight Trousers

One set in the collection takes a different approach. The V-neck top comes in anthracite grey with a turquoise-and-navy stripe detail, paired with plain straight-leg navy trousers rather than the jogger cut. It is a more traditional pyjama silhouette, closer to a classic two-piece than the sportswear-inspired jogger sets, and still built from the same cotton-polyester velour as the rest of the range. The stripe detail sits on the top only, so the trousers stay plain navy and easy to pair with other pieces in the range.

Choosing Between the Jogger Cut and the V-Neck Set

The jogger-style sets suit anyone who wants a relaxed, sportswear look for lounging as much as sleeping, with the ribbed hems keeping draughts out around the ankles and wrists. The V-neck set leans more classic, with a straighter leg and a cleaner line. Both use the same weight of velour, so the choice comes down to cut rather than warmth. All five sets are designed for a relaxed, comfortable fit rather than a close one, so they suit most body shapes without feeling tight, and the comfort works as well on the sofa as it does in bed. For other cosy options beyond pyjama sets, the wider men's nightwear collection covers more styles for cooler nights.

Sizing

Take your normal clothing size. Most sets in the collection run from S to XXL, though the two striped jogger sets currently start at size M. The relaxed cut leaves enough room for a t-shirt underneath on colder nights without the waistband pulling tight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is velour fabric?

Velour is a knitted fabric with a soft, brushed pile on the surface, similar to velvet but stretchier because it is knitted rather than woven. Mariner Underwear's velour pyjamas blend cotton with a small amount of polyester or elastane for that stretch.

Are velour pyjamas warm?

Yes. The brushed pile traps air close to the skin, so velour holds warmth better than a plain cotton weave of the same weight, while the cotton content keeps it breathable rather than sweaty.

Is velour the same as velvet?

No. Velvet is a woven fabric, while velour is knitted, which gives it more stretch and a softer drape. Both have a similar brushed pile texture, which is why they are often confused.

How do I wash velour pyjamas?

All of Mariner Underwear's velour pyjamas are machine washable. Follow the care label on each piece to keep the pile looking its best over time.

What size pyjamas should I buy?

Take your normal clothing size. Mariner Underwear cuts its velour sets for a relaxed, comfortable fit, with sizes running from S to XXL on most styles.

What is the difference between velour and fleece pyjamas?

Thanks to the fabric, velour pajamas offer a look that is both sporty and chic—sophisticated yet casual.Fleece is usually 100% polyester with a lighter, fluffier pile, while velour blends cotton into the mix for a denser feel and more weight. Mariner Underwear's pyjama range uses velour rather than fleece.

What colours do velour pyjamas come in?

Mariner Underwear's velour collection includes navy, burgundy, mottled grey and two striped colourways in navy-blue and red-and-beige, so there is a shade for most tastes.
