Ribbed Slim-Fit Stretch-Cotton Long Johns

While long johns were first introduced in the 17th century, they didn’t become known as sleep and thermal wear until the late 18th century. Fast-forward to today, and brands such as Balmain dream up new iterations primed for sofa sessions and colder climes, alike. Spun from cosy cotton, this ribbed pair falls to a slim-fit silhouette then is imbued with plenty of stretch to ensure easy movement throughout the day.
