Spanish for "the pajamas?"?

Question

I have a book that says it's "el pijamas" but shouldn't it be "los pijamas?" Or is it just one of those acceptions to the rules? Thanks.

Hi, first two answers are correct. In Castellano - Castillian Spanish we consider pijama a masculine noun, it is not impossible to find Spanish masculine words / nouns ending in "a" if their etymology indicates so, same as words both feminine/masculine can end in e and Females occasionally in o. So it is 
El Pijama - singular
Los Pijamas -plural

Maybe "El Pijamas" is refering to a person that always wear pajamas. It's the only way it makes sense.

It could be las pijamas, las piyamas, las pajamas or las payamas, depending on the country or region you're at, but they're always femenine, and usually pronounced pah-yah-mahs.
