Very soft and comfortable, perfect midweight fabric for transitional seasons. Too light for the depths of a midwestern winter, too warm for humid months of summer; just right for everything in between. I agree with the customer who observed that the pockets set in the side seams can make for a bulky appearance around the hips; I do find myself fussing and re-arranging these from time to time for a smoother silhouette. That's the only reason for the 4 vs 5 star review. I am a little more than 5'7"", approx 130-135#, broad shoulders, modestly endowed, straighter body type in general and the Medium fits me well. I have longer limbs, causing the hem of the robe to fall above my knees and the sleeves to end higher than the wrist, though not quite 3/4 length; which suits me fine when it comes to washing my hands or doing a few dishes. If you also have longer limbs and want the sleeve all the way to the wrist or a slightly longer hem, might want to look at the specs to see if sizing up makes sense for you or not. The slate / white striped fabric does have a slight bluish-green-gray cast, more green than blue; similar to some shades of slate; also similar to sage leaves, or some lichens. The photos are pretty true to that, so if you were looking for something even more gray / neutral than that, it's just something to be aware of. So comfortable would definitely buy again, but would be even more likely to with a single (or two) outer pocket(s) on the front instead of the ones in the side seams. Read Less

this was a gift for my 90-year-old father (yes, father!) to replace a similar one he had for a while. He likes the comfy knit (like a heavier version of your favorite tee shirt) but especially the shorter length. Longer robes make it harder to walk. it was impossible to find anything similar officially ""for men."" #sweepstakes Read Less

This robe is everything I look for in a robe. Length is perfect, not too short, not too long and fabric is soft and just the right thickness. I love light weight robes to lounge in, this robe fit the bill. As usual, shipping and packing was right on target. Read Less
