Why Why Why and How How How?

I am about to embark on a mini vacation to meet up with an old college chum and some San Francisco alumni. All I need for my trip is a decent pair of cotton pyjamas, the kind that are suitable for going into our rented apartment kitchen to make coffee without feeling like a scumbag or a whore. Simple. Cotton pantaloons, simple top. So why so difficult?

I tried the go-to spots- Target offered lots of things with birds and stripes with color schemes that smacked of Freshman Year. I couldn't get through the door of Old Navy without my sinuses being assaulted by the chemicals coming off the freshly unpacked spring line. It's generally a bad sign if you can smell the color of your clothing. Where else? Where do people buy pyjamas?

washing machines ARE nice, but toxic dyes are not.
