As you might imagine, being a blogger, I see a lot of sponsored content.  Too much sponsored content, actually.  And most of what I buy through those links disappoints, so when several bloggers started promoting Tommy John products, I was skeptical.  Could the underwear brand with the ads I’d heard so many times on the radio be a value add to my wardrobe?

In 2008, Tommy John was founded by a husband and wife team who wanted to re-design men’s underwear.  They wanted to focus on creating a good fit (no riding, no bunching) and using comfortable fabrics.  Over time, they applied the same principles to other cotton clothing pieces, including loungewear and pajamas.

The sponsored posts that fill my feed discuss how soft and comfortable Tommy John’s clothes are.  How I’ll never want to take off my new loungewear.  How I can wear it to anything (except work).  And how I’ll wonder how I ever lived without it.  Even for the purple prose of influencer sponsorships, that’s a hard sell.

To test out the product line, I bought three pieces: the Terry Lounge Pants, the Waffle Henley, and the Second Skin Longsleeve Tee.

The Lounge Pants were thick, soft and very comfortable.  I loved wearing them.  My only complaint is that they are too heavy to sleep in.  They also won’t be wearable in summer, because they are warm and thick.  If I had to do it over, I would choose these waffle leggings that give me the cozy winter vibes that’s not quite as hot.

The Second Skin Tee is very soft.  The seams and stitching also appear very well done.  Comparing it to my favorite tee, a maternity tee from Ingrid & Isabel which is wearable by any body type, it’s equally good.  I like that the t-shirt is a bit longer, but depending on your body type, that may not be for you.

I saved my favorite piece, the Waffle Henley for last.  I liked the white sweater so much that I bought the black one the next day.  I love a good multiple, and this sweater looks so much more expensive than it is and it’s more comfortable than you can imagine.  You can wear it with leggings and sneakers for a coffee run or with jeans and a camel blazer for a quick meeting.  The piece is sublime.

My one word of caution on Tommy John pieces: They run a little small, especially in the arms.  So bear that in mind when you order.

Bottom Line: So few things in this life live up to the hype, so to find something that you love is such an unexpected pleasure.  I love these pieces so much, that I was almost glad that it was -8-degrees tonight so I could wear the henley to cozy up on the couch.  My only hope is that they continue to wear well through washing and wearing, because I think they’re about to become my favorite Sunday afternoon clothes.
