A robe is a type of dressing gown made from toweling or another absorbent material. It is often worn while the wearer is wet and serves as a towel and body covering when there is no immediate need to get dressed.
Manufacturer of bathrobes in long and short sizes with kimono front, wrap belt and patch pockets. Custom imprinting services are available.
Cotton
Cotton is a durable, breathable fabric that is soft on the skin and can be woven in different ways. The quality of a cotton bathrobe is determined by how long the staple fibers are, and the longer the better. Longer staple fibers are stronger, smoother, more resistant to fraying, and will become softer over time.
Terry cloth is what comes to mind when most people think of a bathrobe, and it’s for good reason: The thick, absorbent material is ideal for wearing post-shower as you get dressed or add an extra layer of warmth over your pajamas. It’s also often used to create towels, as it wicks moisture away from the body.
Other types of cotton are also suitable for bathrobes, including velour and waffle cotton. A terry bathrobe will feel slightly rough to the touch, as it’s made of looped cotton; however, a velour bathrobe has a much smoother surface as the individual loops have been cut.
Fleece is another popular choice for a bathrobe, as it’s insulating and quick-drying. The best fleece bathrobes are usually made of polyester, acrylic, cotton, wool – or a blend of these materials. However, it’s important to check that the fleece hasn’t been spun with microfibers, as these small plastic fibres can be released into lakes and rivers if washed incorrectly.
Polyester
A polyester bathrobe feels soft against the skin and doesn’t wrinkle as easily as a cotton or linen one, which is especially important for those who don’t like to iron. These robes can also be machine-washed and are less susceptible to pilling, which is when bits of thread fall off the fabric from repeated wear.
The manufacturer H by Frette is a high-end luxury textiles company that makes the kind of plush bathrobe you might find at the Ritz or St. Regis—and you might think that would cost a fortune, but the brand’s diffusion line, called Sélection, offers a similarly luxe feel for less than half the price. Strategist associate editor Jenna Milliner-Waddell loves her Sélection robe, which she describes as a “five-star-hotel bathrobe that feels like a blanket.”
When looking for a new bathrobe to add to your rotation, consider the type of fabric it’s made from. Fleece, plush and terry are good options for cold weather, while lightweight knits like jersey and linen work well in warmer temperatures. The thickness of a robe can also impact how warm or cool it is; heavier fabrics like wool and flannel are more insulating than lighter ones, but can feel cold against your skin. Look for a robe that has pockets and check that the lining matches the color of the outer shell.
Faux Mink
Faux mink robes are so soft, luxurious and comfortable, you’ll feel like you’re wrapping yourself in your favorite blanket. They feel warmer than fleece and softer than terry. They’re perfect for a cold winter morning or a lazy afternoon on the couch. They’re also great gifts for anyone who needs to relax.
If you want to look luxe but aren’t sure if you can afford real fur, this is a great option. This robe is made of 100% polyester faux mink and feels silky, soft and warm. It fits most unisex sizes, has a full-length shawl collar and belt loops. It also has two front pockets and a collar loop to hang the robe. It’s available in a variety of colors and can be customized with embroidery or silkscreen printing.
Unlike eyelash extensions that are made of animal fur, faux mink is synthetic and cruelty-free. It is made from a type of plastic called PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), which is considered a biodegradable material. In addition, it is hypoallergenic and won’t irritate the skin like other types of fake fur. The faux mink is gathered from animals that have shed naturally, and it has been sanitized to avoid any allergic reactions. It’s also much cheaper than a real mink lash, and it’s more versatile than the typical lashes that are used for eyelash extensions.
