This was an early holiday present from my father to my husband.  I thought it would be a great idea as my husband is one of those people who doesn't so much as get out of the shower as splashes out in a wave of water.  So at least this way, I figured he would get dry and I would keep the bathroom from becoming a lagoon.  However I didn't figure he would find it SO comfortable that he would refuse to take it off.  The terrycloth to me feels just like any towel or washcloth.  It's got an average thickness, but I've seen thicker.  I've seen softer, it's not plush or soft like fleece.  It's the basic, classic terrycloth robe.  But he loves it, and at least my bathroom floor is dry...
