Love this robe!  It is so warm and comfy!  I immediately washed it when it arrived, and as expected,it left quite a bit of lint in the washer and dryer.  But now, no shedding.  It has 2 pockets, which every night gown and robe should have.  At 411 this robe does not need to be hemmed (reaches about to my ankle bone) andthe sleeves do not need to be taken up.  Its soft and snuggly, fits well.  Highly recommended.
