This is a fantastic robe if you're looking for a warm, heavy weight robe.  Its weight along with the length and style of the hood all make it a pretty unique robe.  I'm on my second one because the first one took a beating over time.  I tried a knock-off, and it just didn't compare.  This is the next best thing to being wrapped in a blanket, but you can walk around the house in it.  Be warned, though: no joke regarding the weight and warmth.  You may not like this robe if you warm up very easily and need something a little more lightweight for regular wear.
