After 20 years I decided to buy a new bathrobe and was surprised how difficult it was to find a heavy bathrobe. Until I found this coat. I don't know how this size would work for a man (I'm a 5'4" 130lb woman and the size is very large for me) but it goes about 3" above my ankle and the sleeves are perfect for me (I have very long arms). The quality is excellent, the fabric is soft and dense, and the front pockets are big enough to use. I am completely satisfied with my purchase.
