Review on Boca Terry Diamond Men's Robe by Brian Pius

Revainrating 2 out of 5

As feared, Made in China with no quality control!

On the other hand, the fabric this robe is made of is wonderful - great looks, perfect weight, nice drape and also very roomy and comfortable. Finely braided piping on edges, cuffs and pockets look very cute. Unfortunately, poor construction makes this robe a failure in my book. On the other hand, I tried two of them. The first had a defective collar seam. It turned out that the seams started at the bottom on each side of the robe and moved to the center of the collar at the back. Unfortunately, they missed because two rows of seams did not meet. They parted ¼ inch and the loose ends of the sutures dangled and pulled out. I returned it in exchange for another similar robe. The second also had design issues. The seam on the left lapel was crooked and had a noticeable crease that deviated ¼ inch. Also, the seam on the left sleeve cuff was wrinkled. It was also bent and deviated by about ¼ inch. Also, the plastic wrap was practically torn and the bathrobe itself was dirty. The fabric is incorrectly referred to as "waffle fabric". It's actually a "diamond weave" that looks a lot more luxurious. However, the fiber content does not match the product description. It is described as 45% cotton, 45% modal and 10% polyester. However, the labels on both robes clearly indicate that they are made of 40% cotton, 45% modal and 15% polyester. This is very important to me because I spend a lot of time in my bathrobe, smoke and the occasional ash kills the polyester. I may return a second one and continue to buy a quality 100% cotton shawl collar bathrobe. . However, I know my options are limited. I really don't want a heavy bulky cotton terry or thin thin denim. Let's see.

Pros
  • Very happy with it, but the "grey" was an odd gray-blue color. Fits good. Good and warm.
Cons
  • Fit may be imprecise or comfortable for all body types.
