Looking to replace a terry cloth robe after more than 20 years. Norm Thompson seems to have gone out of menswear in the last year or so. Any good substitutes? There are always LL Bean and the like, but would be interested in others.

Have the Hammacher Schlemmer bath towels, very thick and nice. The bath towel weight is 900 grams.
Getting close to replacing my terry cloth robe from Takashamaya in NYC, they are also out of business. No label or branding to identify it. Perfect weight , size. It’s relatively light weight compared to the HS robe.

Thanks. Wish they had colors, but that model looks nice.

DB and soft shoulders— who’d a thunk it?

I have a Christy’s rone from my wedding 12 years ago. Pretty heavy, good quality (although shrinks a bit when washed and can’t be tumble dried).
