Buying a bathrobe

JihadOnTheRiver · #1 10-17-2005, 09:55 AM

When I woke up this morning, for the first time since I moved to San Diego, it is chilly. I need a robe as my house has no heating or AC (normal for these parts). I have had plenty of experience with robes but have never found one I really like.

No silk, only terricloth or some other thick, towel type material. My old Ralph Lauren Polo robe, despite having a horse sewn into it, after a couple washes lost its fluffy lushness. Its that fluffy soft thing that I'm going for overall.

Does anybody have any personal experience with a robe that they really like that doesn't lose its lush qualities after a couple washes? Money is not a factor. TX.

My bath robe is 100% egyptian cotton. I bought it about 5 months ago and it is still very soft and fluffy. I highly recommend it.

Since price is no object, order one from a Ritz Carleton or other luxury hotel/spa. They usually are of superior quality and if you are dissatisfied will accept a return.

The Monte Carlo Spa in Vegas sells great robes. I bought two on my last trip. I also have one from the Renassaince hotel chain that I purchased in Chicago last year. Not bad either.

One for me, one for my lady, and one for your mom when she comes over

You do realize you're responding to Jake, right? Which would mean the lady in question has to be pushing 90 at least.
