While it is no longer unheard of for restaurants to develop their own clothing line, [IHOP's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-peppermint-bark-pancakes) new PancakeWear helps to support a great cause. Instead of simply selling merch to support its brand, IHOP has created comfy pancake-themed clothing to raise money for children in need.

Coincidentally launched during fashion month, IHOP's new PancakeWear clothing line is a collection of breakfast-themed pajamas, onsies, and socks. The pants come in both adult and children's sizes and feature an adorable pancake-covered print. The socks on the other hand, boast the chain's signature blue and white color scheme. Of course, the best part about the new collection is that a portion of the proceeds from every sale will go towards Children's [Miracle Network Hospitals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miracle-torontos).

For those who want to show off their love of breakfast and support a good cause, the loungewear is available from IHOP's [eBay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/list-to-1k) account.
