I ordered this for my husband, but ended up using it myself most of the time.
The robe and the slippers are both of VERY good quality: slippers are NOT at all flimsy and the robe even has a little button to keep the belt in place, which is most handy.
The sleeves are long, but turn up nicely by design. As I mentioned in the title: very warm and soft too!

Basically, if getting for a spouse - get two pairs ;)

P.S. I did not notice any shedding issues, but I washed it BEFORE wearing it.
