A friend of mine turned me on to Punjammies, described as "loungewear bottoms made with hope by women in India who have escaped human trafficking."

I got my pair today, love them, and will be ordering another in blue. They're super-comfy and will be great for the stated purpose of lounging. I'll also be going out in them!

Importer Sudara is part of the nonprofit International Princess Project:

PUNJAMMIES™, pajamas made from the beautiful Indian fabrics by women employed at sewing centers in India, are exported to the U.S and sold as a premium-brand of sleepwear. Proceeds from these sales go back to paying the ladies fair trade wages, money towards their living expenses, holistic support and restoration, funding towards their children's schooling and operational support for the program. International Princess™ Project is committed to creating self-sustaining enterprises in India that provide opportunities for women formally enslaved in prostitution a place to heal from the past and find hope for the future.
