Hugh Hefner | Black Smoking Jacket and Silk Pajamas

A black velvet smoking jacket, slippers, pajamas, and tobacco pipe ensemble, personally owned by Hugh Hefner.

This ensemble includes a custom-made black velvet smoking jacket featuring a black silk shawl lapel, a black velvet sash/tie at the waist, four patch pockets at the front, rolled black silk cuffs, and black silk lining, labeled, "Rick Pallack," size L: a pair of custom-made emerald green silk pajamas featuring a button-down top with two front pockets and a single breast pocket, as well as matching trousers with a drawstring waist, no size or label present; a pair of black suede slippers with black leather insoles, no size or label present; and a black pipe with a Playboy Bunny logo on the top, stamped on the bottom “Playboy Imported Briar."

To elevate his signature silk smoking jacket and silk pajamas look for public outings, Hefner often opted for a sleek velvet smoking jacket such as this to wear over his silk pajamas. Hefner was pictured wearing velvet evening jackets in this style on various occasions as well as home at the Playboy Mansion.
