A mid-length robe in waffle knit cotton with a shawl collar, patch pockets and a self-tie belt.

The robe in most houses is either a terry one that stays damp all morning or a thin one that does nothing in December. Waffle sits between the two and dries in a fraction of the time.

Why this robe?

Waffle knit: the open grid holds warmth but lets moisture through, so the robe dries between uses instead of sitting heavy on the hook.
Shawl collar: the collar is cut in one continuous piece and folds back on itself, which keeps it lying flat rather than rolling up at the neck.
Belt loops: the tie runs through fixed loops at the waist, so the belt stays with the robe instead of ending up under the bed.
Two patch pockets: the pockets are sewn on the outside and set low enough to reach without lifting the shoulder.
Mid-length cut: the hem falls below the knee, which covers more than a short robe without dragging on the floor.

Ideal for:

Men who want something to put on straight out of the shower that is dry again by the evening. It works for cold mornings in a house that takes a while to heat up, and for the half hour before getting dressed properly.

How absorbent is it compared to terry?
Less absorbent and much faster drying. It is meant to be worn over a towel-dried body rather than instead of a towel.

Where does the hem sit?
Below the knee on an average height and closer to mid-calf on a shorter frame.

Does it come with a hood?
No. The neck finishes in a shawl collar, which is why it lies flat when you sit back in a chair.
