Hubby's robe, which died many many years ago, was never replaced. It was time. The price for this robe was very good, and I liked the stripes very much. Hubby's old robe had little anchors and ducks on it (!); this is much more masculine! He has asked if I am going to steal it from him! It is thick and soft, very plush, and very absorbent. The length is perfect. The colors are bright, but subdued. It launders very very well. It was shipped quickly, packaged appropriately, and arrived safely. Hubby is delighted. I am delighted! You would be delighted!
