Head into any sleepwear department of any department store and you will have no trouble finding a terry cloth robe . As a matter of fact there will undoubtedly be more terry cloth robes than any other type. But are all terry cloth robes equal? No. If you want a robe that will look good and feel good for years, you need to shop for a quality terry cloth robe.
When shopping for a terry cloth robe, it is typically the fabric weight and robe styling that makes the difference between a low-end and high-end garment. A heavier weight fabric is more expensive than a lighter-weight one.
Also, a robe that is generously designed with a shawl collar and roll-up cuffs is more expensive than a kimono style. The country of origin is also used to determine the quality. A terry cloth robe made in Brazil or Turkey is traditionally considered a higher quality than one made in India or Pakistan. This is the case because of the quality of the terry cloth in the region and not necessarily because of the sewing construction.
Whether you are shopping for a man's robe, women's robe or a child's robe , the same rules of thumb apply. Don't be shy, touch the robe. Terry cloth robe shopping is a tactile sport. The feel and weight are important in helping you to discern a high quality terry cloth from an imposter . The softer, fuller and heavier the material, the better. Trust your instincts.
Once you have picked out your terry bath robe, you may want to consider adding a monogram as a tasteful embellishment. A monogrammed terry cloth robe makes a particularly thoughtful gift that will be enjoyed for years. A name on a child's robe adds a touch of whimsy while a monogram on a crisp terry cloth robe adds a touch of class.
One more thing to consider as you are wandering through the sleepwear department fondling all the bathrobes - for the highest absorbency, look for a robe with no decoration and loops across the entire surface. Although decorative boarders and appliqués look nice, they don't feel as soft and warm against the skin as 100% cotton terry loops do. So wrap yourself in a terry cloth robe today!
