CW Pajama Etiquette
Since the new F pjs no longer have F white on blue blazing for all to see, but much more subtle, would it be in poor taste to switch into a "new" F top while flying CW? It not only is comfortable but leaves my shirt unwrinkled when I arrive.

With that said, Mr. "Tank Top with Sandals On" that was next to me on that summer flight to Vegas on Southwest...Don't ever do that again.

Okay, starter for 10:
Which term was coined by a French psychic researcher, Émile Boirac (1851–1917) in his book 'L'Avenir des sciences psychiques'?

Coming back from CPT last month on the upper deck, about half the cabin changed into "F" pjs before take-off - including myself but I appeared to be the only one with the new ones 
having picked them up on the way out to CPT a couple of days earlier.
Have to agree with upgrade lover, BA PJs are a great lightweight fabric that seems perfect for the stuffy atmosphere on the plane.

My impression is coloured by people like the gentlemen I sat next to on Sunday night. Gets on, asks crew for hanger and then booms at top of his voice 'I'm going to change into my FIRST pyjamas now' and then proceeds to parade through the cabin so that everyone knows he has been op-up'ed once. 
Twunt. 
It's almost as bad as having your Gold card tags on hand baggage.

Hi,
Maybe I'll wear my VS pjs on the CW overnight flight back from SFO on the 22nd!
I do like changing into pjs as it makes me feel more comfortable ( esp when changing back into the clothes on arrival)
The VS ones are all black with a small VA label which almost cannot be seen.
Regards
TBS

To be honest I don't really nottice what people wear in Club World - if they were wearing First pyjamas, they would need to tell me.
Not sure that my recent purchase of bright pink with red poka dot pyjama bottoms is equally as subtle and unnoticed, but people probably just think that I have escaped from the funny farm...

Flew EOS from JFK. I was in my CX PJs and another pax was in their BA PJs. It merely shows that
a) you are well travelled
b) as an experienced traveller, you know how to be comfortable when travelling.
