So soft! Wash cold to keep it that way. Fleece these days seems to run thinner and thinner - so while I would say the fleece this robe is made out of is thin relative to other robes I've owned in the past, it's no thinner than any other fleece being sold now at big box stores. On a tall, slender person, this robe almost looked slinky, definitely not plush or like they were bundled-up (unless you were to layer this under PJs, sweatshirt, etc). This red color was a deep, blue-toned (versus orange-toned) red, maybe slightly darker than the picture makes it seem. Great value for a good product. Did I mention how soft it was?
