I have to say I really appreciate the length of this robe (I'm 5'9") and it comes down almost to my ankles. But I must say that I also have a love/hate relationship as well with this robe. I first purchased the blue robe & yes it did shed somewhat at first. Unfortunately something was spilled down the front & stained it so I purchased the green color to replace it. It isn't Olive Green as pictured but lime green. Also the robe isn't shiny nor as luxurious looking in real life when compared to the picture. I'm now looking to replace the green one I recently purchased because after a few short weeks it seems to NEVER STOP SHEDDING! It leaves green lint everywhere! My bed, floors, dogs fur, you name it & it's there! Wearing this robe for a couple hours each night does not explain or excuse the excessive shedding!!!! After reading the other reviews it seems to be only the green color that sheds so badly. I'd say that between the quality & durability of this robe it's overpriced by $20 at least. For this price I'd expect it to be much more luxurious, shed A LOT LESS, and a quality fabric & dye system. All in all not worth more than $50 & 3 stars.
