Polo Ralph Lauren Madison Bear Striped Cotton Sateen Pajama Set

Why We Love It

• The Madison Bear print — the Polo Bear in his natural habitat. Ralph Lauren's Polo Bear has been a brand icon since 1991 — the illustrated bear dressed in Ralph Lauren's signature looks, rendered with the kind of confident, witty detail that turns a print into a collector's piece. Across black and white stripes in cotton sateen, the Madison Bear print reads as both playful and genuinely polished. The set that Polo Bear enthusiasts recognise immediately and reach for without hesitation.
• Cotton sateen — the fabric that makes classic pyjamas feel luxurious. Sateen weave creates a smooth, subtly lustrous surface with a hand feel that sits between crisp cotton and silk — without the care complexity of silk. The surface catches light gently, makes the stripe and the print look rich rather than flat, and feels genuinely smooth against skin. 100% cotton, so it breathes and washes beautifully, but the sateen finish gives it the elevated quality that makes this feel like a luxury pyjama rather than just a comfortable one.
• The notch-collar shirt — the detail that defines a proper pyjama. A proper notch lapel collar, full button-front placket with buttoned cuffs, and a left chest patch pocket — the silhouette that reads as an elevated, considered pyjama rather than a sleep shirt. The collar lies flat and photographs beautifully. The buttoned cuffs keep the sleeve in place through the night. These are the details that Ralph Lauren has been getting right since the beginning.
• Full-length pant with elastic waistband and side pockets. A straight-leg full-length pant with an elastic waistband that sits comfortably at the natural waist and side on-seam pockets. Clean, classic, and the proportions that make the shirt and pant read as a set rather than separates.
• Pairs with the Madison Bear Striped Robe. The matching robe is available in the same print and cotton sateen fabric — the same Polo Bear on black and white stripe, in a long wrap robe with shawl collar. Together, the set and robe create a complete Ralph Lauren sleep collection. Also available at Cloud Nine alongside the Tuxedo Bear Robe for the full Polo Bear sleep wardrobe.

The Full Story

Polo Ralph Lauren introduced the Polo Bear in 1991 as a brand mascot — an illustrated bear dressed in Ralph Lauren's signature American preppy style, placed on knitwear, shirts, and accessories with the kind of confident irreverence that made the brand iconic. The Madison Bear has since appeared on everything from sweaters to tote bags to, now, a cotton sateen pyjama set that is exactly as luxurious as you'd expect a Ralph Lauren sleepwear piece to be.

"The pyjama set that Polo Bear people recognise from across the room. The one they put on their wishlist immediately."

Gifting This?

The Madison Bear Pajama Set is one of the strongest Ralph Lauren gifts available — the Polo Bear print is immediately recognisable, the cotton sateen quality is immediately apparent, and the set arrives looking as considered as it actually is. A strong choice for the Ralph Lauren loyalist, the Polo Bear collector, or anyone who believes their sleep wardrobe deserves the same attention as their daytime wardrobe. Pair with the matching Madison Bear Striped Robe ($330) for a complete gift. Available at Cloud Nine Pajamas in Edmonton and online.

Fit at a Glance

Good to Know

Is cotton sateen the same as silk?
No — but it has a similar smooth, subtle sheen from a distance. Cotton sateen is 100% cotton woven in a sateen pattern (more threads on the surface) that creates a smooth, slightly lustrous hand feel. It breathes like cotton, washes like cotton, and wears like a luxury fabric — without the delicate care of silk or the price premium of silk blend.

Can I wear this out of the house — is it too obviously pyjamas?
The stripe and the notch collar read as very much pyjamas — which is part of the appeal at this price point. This is not a loungewear set designed to pass as daywear; it's a genuine luxury pyjama that commits fully to the format. The Polo Bear print makes the intention clear and makes it better for it.

Does this come with a matching robe?
Yes — the Madison Bear Striped Cotton Sateen Robe is available separately at $330 in the same black and white stripe cotton sateen with Polo Bear print, in S/M and L/XL. Pair the two for a complete matching Ralph Lauren sleep collection.

How do I wash it?
Machine washable — Ralph Lauren recommends machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Lay flat or hang to dry to maintain the sateen surface finish. Avoid high heat drying which can affect the sateen weave over time.
