PJ Etiquette
What is the etiquette regarding when to put on the free PJs? Do I do this prior to 1st meal, after 1st meal, just before snoozing? Does everyone put on the PJs or just the "bold" passengers?
What to do with wallet when wearing PJs and sleeping?

I'm usually into mine as soon as the seatbelt sign is off after takeoff - and I'm in them until the last meal service.
I like arriving fresh (particularly if I'm landing somewhere with no arrivals lounge) and I view them as a way to avoid getting my travel clothes rumpled or accidentally spilling something on them in turbulence!

I change after takeoff as soon as the seatbelt sign goes off. Wallet goes into the little cubbyholes that most F/C seats have nowadays.

It's entirely up to you. Some people get changed as soon as they are given the PJs (i.e. before takeoff), and personally if I'm going to wear them at all then I either do that or pretty soon after the seat belt sign goes off. Plenty of places around for the wallet - but most often just in my carry on bag in the overhead.

I never change into PJ's before takeoff. I keep my ordinary street clothes and, crucially, street shoes on for safety reasons. I usually keep my street clothes (but not street shoes; sockettes instead) on for the meal service, because eating a nice meal in pajamas doesn't feel right to me. I only wear the PJ's during times when I'm trying to put myself in a sleeping mindset, so they typically go on after the meal service.
When flying on airlines other than SQ or when flying SQ C, my wallet and passport go in my carryon tote. When in SQ F on a Megatop, my wallet and passport go in the little compartment in the seat for just such purposes.

On our 15 hour flight from LHR-EZE I changed in to them after the seat belt sign went off and they stayed on till the GRU stopover.Thankfully we were allowed to stay on the plane where I changed back into my clothes for the shortish hop to EZE.
Plan on using them again for our flight over to the UK in a couple of weeks which isn't in F this time but in Club World.

Like a few of the recent posters, I don't tend to worry about airline provided PJs as I'm likely to be dressed comfortably on a long-haul flight already (gym style warmups and a t-shirt). When I get off the plane I'll change back into whatever clothes I need for that day depending on which flight it is (going or returning).
