Losing my mind, here. When I was a kid and teen, so mid 80s - early 90s, there was a fad at the summer sleepover camps I went to for a particular style of pajamas. They came in two styles, shirt/pants, or onesie with a butt flap for bathroom business. The fabric was a heavy pale fleece, with little blue lines on it, like someone had drawn on it (up and down only) with ballpoint pen. 

We called them ‘chalkies’ (spelling dubious), this was in Northern Ontario, and I can’t find any record anywhere of these things having existed, other than my memory. 

I had the onesie, for the record, and the butt flap sagged. We would pin them up with large safety pins, which made bathroom runs in the middle of the night precarious. (oh, those midnight runs to the unit bathhouse, with buddy + flashlight + lumber jacket + flip-flops, stubbing toes on tree roots as we went...)
