I change as soon as I can, then out of them maybe 45mins before landing, but after the last meal service. I was reminded why I do this routine on a recent JL flight. I changed out of the PJs soon before landing but was then offered breakfast, result was I had tomato sauce from my omelette on my shirt until we got to the hotel and I changed.
I've had wine glasses and water spill on me enough times (usually by turbulence) to warrant wearing them on any longhaul flight.

I've been known to change into a cashmere sweater and jogging bottoms when forced to sit at the back... You have to change back into your day clothes early though before landing or incur the wrath of the queue waiting to use their free toothbrush.
SQ even sell their first PJs throughout all cabins which is odd... and odder that they used to have a reflective strip on them!

Now what I want to know is just how substantial are these PJs? Are these real pajamas like my dear mother used to buy me? Or do I need to stay somewhat dressed underneath so to speak, as I may be walking around the cabin from time to time.

It's entirely up to you. Some people get changed as soon as they are given the PJs (i.e. before takeoff), and personally if I'm going to wear them at all then I either do that or pretty soon after the seat belt sign goes off. Plenty of places around for the wallet - but most often just in my carry on bag in the overhead.

The PJs in the Krisshop (which I haven't seen in a while) aren't the F PJs, and they double up as a jogging outfit, which is why you have the reflective strip.

You mean the PJ's are made of glorified napkin material that tears when wet instead of woven cloth?

I won't wear PJ's in public, except perhaps as coveralls as the person with the tomato omelet explained.. In fact often I even pull on sweatpants or swim trunks or even jeans instead in the privacy of my bedroom too. Easier to go down to the 'fridge for a midnight snack or to take out the garbage if I forgot.

I "orta" ask you to elaborate but maybe not since it's bad enough being in the middle seat I "shunt hafta" "do" more to comply.
