Where to buy dressing gowns

Good afternoon

I have always had thick cotton towelling dressing gowns once the quilted variety disappeared from favour.

My present one is getting very threadbare and the latest ones are either poor quality towelling which produce long, loose threads or some kind of synthetic polyester fleece which I don't like. A Christmas purchase from the White Company of one of its "luxury" towelling dressing gowns had loose threads all over it even when I tried it on and I had to return it.

Has anyone bought a good quality cotton towelling dressing gown lately that didn't disintegrate into loose threads all over and if so, where did you buy it, please? TIA.

I bought one from this company www.soakandsleep.com/turkish-cotton-bathrobes.html over 10 years ago. It has got some loose threads lately on the cuffs but I just snip them off. I don't know if the quality is still the same, so many companies seem to have lowered their standards.

I was going to suggest The White Company, but I am on my third towelling dressing gown from them and the quality has definitely slipped.

Ramblingrose22, I think of anything made from cotton towelling as a bathrobe - rather than a dressing gown. I only wear mine after a shower, until I get dressed. It's good quality from the White Company.

I usually buy from Lands end. I had one that had the long threads that you describe but just once.

Are you just searching using ' towelling dressing gown' as a search term? Might you get better results if you replaced 'dressing gown' with 'bath robe'?

I’m surprised at your remarks about the White Company . I have a navy towelling dressing gown from them that I have had many years. It’s still in great condition , washed regularly and comes up like new. I wood have always recommended them. Perhaps I was lucky ?

I had a very nice towelling robe some years ago but the hair brush kept catching threads of it. I now have a onesie which I find keeps my legs warmer than a dressing gown can.

I have a Christies [like the towels] from an outlet shop it washes like their towels very well but a bit faded after6 years. I wear it from spring to autumn I don't think it would be warm enough in winter.
