This robe is thin, not very comfortable against the skin (at first)and had a horrible chemical reek when the bag it came in was opened. I'm 5'11' and the arms were too short (above the wrist). Although it should soften up with multiple washings, it will never have as good a feel as a terry robe. But if you like a thin, non-luxurious waffle robe, this may work for you.
