Bathrobes aren't exactly SW, or D.
Your best bet is to ask MC.

Or you can put this in DT.

What do you care what your bathrobe looks like? Hopefully you won't be wearing a bathrobe out in public.

this should be moved to DT

the furthest you should go in your bathrobe from home is 10-12 feet to

a- take out garbage
b-pick up the newspaper/mail
c- sit in backyard w/ a beverage

this makes our opinions of a bathrobe null and void

this is like asking for SF approved toilet paper

it is threads like this that really contribute to the perception of this forum having herd mentality.

The right toilet paper can be a great accessory with common projects.

That being said, this one delights me in a special way.

I guessed what that bathrobe was going to look like before I clicked it and I wasn't disappointed. I personally think you should go for the cropped look:

Another one I like is The Blue Mist Robe, available at classicrobes.com. They can also do alterations to adjust the fit to how you like it.

The Dude is his action figure entitled 'The Dude (Unemployed) 8" Action Figure' - has a great bathrobe which Wal-Mart used to sell.
