Arus Men's Hooded Classic Bathrobe Turkish Cotton Robe with Full Length Options

So I hardly ever do reviews, but this one merits it.I bought this as a Christmas Gift for my father. The thing is, my father has owned a ratty, clorox stained, semi-sentient purple bathrobe since before I was born. Said purple bathrobe had been an anniversary gift from my great-great grandmother to my great-great- grandfather, who had stared at its funky, clunky, Austin Powers-like pattern and immediately put it away in the farthest corner of his closet. My father found it in his teens, and proceeded to wear it for the next forty-something years of his life because whatever he may say, my dear father is a hipster at heart.Naturally, since it was bought on the early 60s and has been in use for 40+ years, the bathrobe was not only a horrible-decoration-ruining-eyesore it also stunk of a terrible smell I can only describe as “moist and loud”—at least, as soon as it was used. It stank up every single article of clothing that was put on the washer with it, and everything on a four feet radius of it when it was hanged to dry. Mind you, the damn thing smelled like cinnamon and apples as soon as it dried again, a smell that I suspect it beat up our other towels to steal (at this point, when it was dry, the other towels would smell repugnant), so my father never believed me or my mother. So the damn thing stayed and we had to resort to creative way of keeping it away from the rest of both our clothing and towels. Like a creeping, sweeping plague, it would also slowly infect the towels around it with its hideous grape-marmalade-gone-bad color. I wept over my collectible brand-new Princess Belle towel, stained purple and smelling of despair and disgrace, and swore revenge for the remaining pieces that would go on to become garage rags when my mother said it was too damaged to keep using, barely two weeks after I received it.Regardless of this vow of furious vengeance, my quest remained unfulfilled until this past Christmas.The horrible, no-good, terrible bathrobe had survived all of my and my mother’s attempt on getting rid of it. Which included buying him newer and more expensive ones, secretly throwing it into the trash, Clorox baths to make it rip, one memorable time when we grew desperate and tried to set it on fire only for the damn thing to never even lit. The bathrobe reigned supreme, somehow always returning to the hanger on our bathroom door, even when one time I missed my 9:00 am class to personally deposit it on a city garbage bin while my father was out. We begrudgingly and disgracefully accepted defeat.Anyways, I did not have much hope for this bathrobe actually being put to use—it was just a joke gift destined to be donated as soon as Christmas time passed and my father did not feel guilty about it. I had already bought my father another gift, when this bathrobe was suggested to me as a “cozy gift for your loved ones”. As bathrobes seemed to have gone out of fashion and even the blood-thirst for retribution sworn by a then six year old tends to run out, I had lost hope of ever being able to replace the Purple Monstrosity. But because spite is one of the few things that keep me going on this lawless universe, I bought it and proceeded to forget completely about it as soon as it was delivered and wrapped (on time too, so you go, Amazon vendor!).Cue Christmas Day—we have all opened our gifts and have reached a point of terminal fullness when my father spots the gift wrapped box to him at the very edge of our Christmas tree. He cheers when he sees it is addressed to him and I, an idiot, encourage him to open it without opening my camera app because I couldn’t remember what I bought and I didn't want to be permanently embarrassed on the forever world of my gallery. He opens it, and through his face flash so many emotions ranging from “what in the everloving fork” to “I have finally decided who shall be the sole heir of my non-existent fortune”.This new bathrobe fits him as he wanted—not too short as to not cover his knees, but not too long as to drag on the ground. It was blue, his favorite color, and was of material soft enough so he would not complain about itching, but not so soft as to squash it’s functionality as a drying artifice. It is thin, not thick, which would have been a downside if it didn’t mean it was less weighty for his old man bones to carry.The hideous purple monstrosity has finally been disposed off. Long live the new marvelous bathrobe.TLDR: This bathrobe finally convinced my father to get rid of his old cursed bathrobe. Best thing at a reasonable price range. Don’t hesitate, get rid of your (or a loved ones) old bathrobe before it gains sentience.

I’ve purchased this brand before. I personally own the light pink, ankle length. I got this one for my boyfriend and of course washed it before first use. I used only small amount of detergent that is color friendly and this is how the robe washed off. On top of that the material seems too thin and does not have the quality or durability my pink Arus has.

I'm 6'3" 225 lbs with a 45" chest and broad shoulders (37" sleeves). This is cut more athletic than I care for. The wrap around is not as generous as I would like and I got an XXL. The weight of the fabric is fine, the hood fits, I just want an extra 6 inches in width. I'm not a big fat guy (well, I don't think so) I just want a robe I can wrap around me with no fear of "flapping." If you like the athletic cut, you will like this. Fit and finish is fine. Don't get me wrong, it's 3 stars for ME, it may be 5 for you. Order on the bigger size is my advice.

This is just what I was looking for! I had a robe that was nice and plush, thick, comfy material.....that was absolutely terrible to put on after a shower. I essentially just wanted a bath towel that could be worn, and this fits the bill! The hood is comfy and does a great job at drying a wet head. And even though it's not the most plush thick material out there, it's still very comfortable and does a great job soaking up water. Warm enough to wear in chilly weather, but will not make you suffocate in the summer either.

This robe is pretty bad. The quality, the feel, not good at all. I was very dissapointed, the fabric is thin and not plush at all, which you should expect in a "turkish" cotton bathrobe. Simply terrible quality, it feels like your donning an old kitchen washcloth to dry yourself. One of the worst purchases I've done in Amazon, cannot believe they recommend it.

This robe is soundly constructed but too heavy and bulky to be comfortable in most circumstances where I would want to wear it. Its weight makes it difficult to put on under many conditions.

The material was okay. I've ordered two Turkish cotton robes before and both were of superior quality compared to this one. It has a nice large hood, so I like that. However, it doesn't close very well at the bottom. I am a female with hips, so perhaps that's why. But other men's robes I've ordered never had that problem. Upon opening it, the robe had a very strong chemical smell which tells me these are mass produced with little care. I'll keep it as a back up, but I don't think it's Turkish or it's a very, very low grade of Turkish cotton.Updated June 20, 2020Six months after purchase, this robe gets worse with each washing. In addition, more and more loose threads appear on the robe. I’m trying to understand how the majority of reviews are so high. This robe is probably the cheapest made robe I’ve ever owned. I don’t know. Maybe I got one from a bad batch. Robes should last years, not months. I’m working on getting a refund despite the time frame. It hasn’t been a year and this robe is falling apart. By December, it’ll be a year since purchased, but I doubt it’ll last that long. Extremely disappointed.

I really like the hood and will keep it. I would not buy another one. The material is too thin, when I hold it to the light I can see thru it. I have another bathrobe for over 10 years it was suppose to replace it blocks the light still and is much thicker. The most annoying thing about it is that it never stops shedding tiny blue fibers. I've owned it since 11/2014. Still shedding. The robe is 100% cotton and it's made in Turkey. I wouldn't call it "Turkish cotton". That's my opinion.

It's decent, does the job and is a little cheaper than some of the department store options but it's not as fantastic as other reviews might suggest.Thinner than I expected, I thought it would be as thick as a high quality beach towel but I'd say its more on par with a cheap/basic set.Given the price though, it's pretty good and I'm rating 4-star. Similar options at department stores are around the $100 mark.For size comparison I'm 6ft, broad shouldered and about 230lb and it fits well. Length goes to roughly half way down calf.

I got this for $65 Canadian. I will tell you now it is extremely hard to find this material and style out there for less then $100. The material is much like a towel and works great for an outdoor spa if you own one. My rob did fit a little bigger than expected however this is a good thing when it comes to hot tubs and being outside. It also allows a bit of room to shrink in the wash. I am canadian and on cold nights this works perfect getting out of the tub.

Nice thick and comfortable. Husband absolutely loves it. Wears it in Canadian winter to walk from house to hot tub and vice versa. Keeps him more than warm enough!

I like the fabric, wash before wearing, don’t use fabric softener and it will be absorbent.Order up a size. I washed it in warm water and the sleeves and hem shrunk about 6 inches.There isn’t enough fabric in the front to keep the robe from opening and exposing coming from the shower.I’ve worn it so can’t return it. All I can do about the front gaping open is to buy cotton towelling and add a few inches on each side.

The quality is great and perfect for hot tubbing. We ordered one size up for each of ours which gave us lots of room and coziness. The only thing I wish was more accurate is the length. I’m 5’6” female 140lbs and ordered and mans s/m which only comes to my shins. My hubby got the xxl and it only comes to his shins too - he’s 5’9”. Other than that, we’re both super happy.
