I've been pondering becoming a robe guy. Actually back in my college days there was a guy who whore a robe everywhere he went. He didn't have any friends, but I don't think that was because of the robe. My apartment building has an outdoor hot tub which is nice in the winter, but you have to bring both a towel and a coat. But if there was a way to merge these two items. Oh heaven it would be. Heaven frozen over with a warm tiny tiled pond. I'm going to mull over the idea of becoming a robe guy a little more before pulling the trigger.

If this came in purple I would be all over it!

It, in turn, would be all over you.

I just ordered mine in Willow. What's your favorite color?

What size did you try on?

polyester... means a small spark will put you in a flaming mosh pit...

If you want to use it for the apartment hot tub I would not suggest this particular robe. It looks fluffy and cozy to be "the robe guy", but doesn't work so well when wet. They feel kind of clammy and just, well, icky. We have a hot tub and a traditional terry cloth (towel material) bathrobe is the only way to go. Towel and coat in one.

just came off the carnival triumph. I got enough robes to last me through the next 10 tornado seasons.

Polyester won't dry you. Get this to keep you warm, but putting this on after a shower will probably just end up pissing you off and making you sneeze.

My mom ordered a robe from Blair that was recalled due to fire hazard. Since then, I'm pretty leery about lounge wear fabrication.

Anyone got access to a label and if so does it have flame paper jamant (r e t a r d a n t)? FYI I didn't expect the word edit. It made me laugh.

Is that Willow a soft green, or more of that "peridot" type green - a sharper yellow/green? Green is my fave, but not all shades.

I'm not sure I want to try to imagine what's involved in the process of whoring a robe.

Isn't that one of Sarah Palin's kids? ;)

Blue! No, yelloooooooowwwwww....

I ordered two of these for my teenagers and they came super fast, placed the order Sunday and got them on Wed. I think it was my fastest Woot shipment ever. Anyway the kids love them, especially my daughter who is always cold, now she doesn't need to drag her bed comforter all over the house

I purchased this robe in green, and I love it. It is super comfy and still looks great after several washes!
